I got to meet one of my childhood heroes, Roberta Williams, and talk to her for hours and it's one of the coolest experiences of my life. That will only make sense to a narrow band of you, but I'm fine with that. Big thanks to @gameinformer.com for asking me to do this. Roberta Williams. The legend.

Roberta Quest

We connected King’s Quest creator Roberta Williams to comedy writer Mike Drucker, who may be her biggest fan, for a conversation about the series’ legacy and a generation’s connection to it.

Just learned that Roberta Vaughan (robertav.bsky.social‬) is going through a medical emergency right now. She's had a series of heart attacks and is currently in a coma. She's a huge organizer in the adventure game community and has the biggest heart in the world. Send your prayers/vibes her way.
