Heya Typos!
It’s officially May and you know what that means… It’s time to bust out those earbuds and listen to some awesome Creative Typo Podcasts while you do your spring cleaning! New episodes from Into the Night and Dreadtek are still being released each week and we are working on several projects that are projected to release this year. We hope you are as excited as we are! Now, on to the news.
What's New
The website now has a whole section dedicated to the artists that collaborate with Creative Typo. Not only can you find each artist’s gallery and a small bio about the artist, you can submit to commission them for your very own art piece. If you have a character in mind that you would love to have drawn up, we highly encourage you to look through these portfolios. www.creativetypo.com/artlab/
The Creative Typo team have a few big projects currently in the works. While I can’t quite disclose what all of them are, I can tell you that one really big one will be hosted on Twitch. With that in mind, Adam has put together a Twitch channel for the team and we want you to know about it first! Click here and give the channel a follow. www.twitch.tv/creativetypo

Meet the Cast/Crew
Meet Richard Collins! We had a chance to talk with Richard and get the scoop on all the questions we know you’ve been dying to get answers to!
Q: How long have you been playing D&D?
Richard: Let’s see…I started playing DnD when I went off to college way back in the fall of 2003. So, about 18 and a half years now with a few gaps. Which I am just now realizing is over half of my life. Cheers!
Q: What is your favorite dinosaur?
Richard: Believe it or not, I was actually wanting to be a paleontologist back when I was in elementary school. So, favorite is a little difficult. That said, I always really liked the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Q: What roles do you play in Creative Typo?
Richard: Within Creative Typo, I play Aleister in Microphones and Monsters, Z.OUS! in Dreadtek Inc., Grrötscho in the M&M 2021 Holiday Special, Mr. Katakosmos and William in Sticks Shift Inc., and an agent of The Many-Faced God and Leche Chocolatada in AFQ’s NPC Interludes.
Q: What do you think of your own giggle? Do you think it’s as cute as the rest of us think it is?
Richard: It’s kinda weird. I never think I laugh as much as I do. Then, I listen back to the episodes and have to wonder if Adam made a laughtrack of me and just adds it in everywhere. Seriously, though, I like my laugh alright, but really I’m happy people seem to enjoy it. I mean, you do get a lot of it.
Q: You seem pretty smart. What’s your favorite smart guy thing to talk about?
Richard: As anyone who has spoken with me for longer than 2 sentences can tell you, I love to talk about trivia and random facts. That is a really broad answer, though. To be more specific, I absolutely love talking about and discovering etymology. The evolution and underlying meaning of language is fascinating.
Q: Did you model Aleister after Frasier Crane?
Richard: No, actually. Although that is a great comparison, there were two other figures I had in mind when I was figuring out how Aleister would act and sound. I was watching a lot of Lucifer and definitely drew some from that. As for the other, there was an observation someone made I always liked about how Gilfoyle from Silicon Valley is the human embodiment of a cat. I can see some similar threads amongst all three.
Q: What’s your favorite thing to do on the weekend?
Richard: I am a consumer of media, so I probably spend the majority of most weekends watching movies and shows, playing games, reading comics and books, etc. Pretty much anything with a story. My only problem is there is never enough time. Lately and for the foreseeable future, I have been going to all of the Charlotte FC home matches, which is a great excuse to get some exercise.
Q: Who is your favorite character (npc/pc) in all of Creative Typo?
Richard: Saving the hardest question for last, I see. The obvious answer is Aleister, but that is what Aleister would say. I think for me it’s actually collectively all yakfolk everywhere. It has cracked me up since Adam started doing that voice in a campaign before M&M. The real reason Aleister actually likes the Stouthearts is because I find them hilarious.
