Sherwood (Atomic Array 014)
When we heard that Battlefield Press was going to release a Savage Worlds edition of Wil Upchurch’s Sherwood, we jumped at the chance to bring him on the Array. The legend of Robin Hood is a tricky subject to work with. There’s so many tropes, from the locations to the iconic character types, we were interested to see how Wil handled it all.
Wil was all too willing to talk with us. We even convinced Marc Gacy to join us to talk about how he translated the original d20 rules into Savage Worlds.

Did your enthusiasm come through?! Dude, listen to the end of the show, after the theme music finishes… there’s an Easter egg there ya might wanna hear. ;)
If singing, “Go grease lightnin’!” isn’t enthusiasm, I don’t know what is.
It was great having you on the show and many thanks for the interview! You and Wil have convinced me to take up archery and robbery. I shot a guy on the Forbes list through the heart just yesterday and it was so easy! He was like, “Why?” and I was like, “This money will clothe and feed the hamlet of Gimbleshiretonville for a year!”, and he was like, “What?” and I was like, “Know this. No longer shall the oppressors kept their boot so firmly planted on the neck of the oppressed. These woods shelter us from the machinations of those would would prey on our good nature,” and he was like .
So… who wants some of these bearer bonds? There were thousands in his briefcase.
Darn post didn’t take the text between my greater than less thans… the final thing the Forbes man said was (death rattle).
Oh, I heard it alright!
I’d send my lawyer over, but you’d probably off him as well, in the name of “oppression!”
Not if he laughed heartily like a merry man!

Great names! I hope they were fast.
“What’s your dog’s name?”
“Grease Lightning.”
“But… he’s just sitting there… digesting and stuff.”
“As a puppy, we hoped he’d be a runner.
It was a great show, I enjoyed it very much. I hope that yall are just as nice the next time around.
Thanks, Jonathan!
We do try to be nice, despite Ed’s propensity for interviewee-biting. I ask him to wear the muzzle and keep on top of his meds, nevertheless, we keep ‘hold harmless’ contracts in the studio lobby for each guest to sign… just in case.
Thanks guys for having me on the Podcast!
I really enjoyed working on this and I hope my enthusiasm came through!
