“I’ve recognised through the years that it’s important to adapt to the medium to make it efficient. You don’t use one medium you employ one other. What I do with tabletop may be very completely different from what I might do in a video game.
“Having to go between the 2 of them now, I can see that there are issues which can be straightforward to do in tabletop that I might by no means attempt to do in video games, however there are issues in video games which have a lot increased affect than I’ll ever have in tabletop. And that can change if we ever do a movie for this factor. What I count on to see can be completely different.”
