Michelle Lyons-McFarland, Monica Valentinelli, and Shanna Germain joined Howard and Dan at GenCon Indy for an episode which is a thinly-veiled indulgence for Howard to glean advice from three people\xa0who know far more about the craft\xa0of RPG design than he\xa0does.
\n
\nOur\xa0discussion centers around how world building for role playing games, and especially the manner in which the world is presented, differs from world building for\xa0novels. We don't talk about rule sets or physics simulations. We're after the things that players want and need to read in order to immerse themselves in the setting, and get "in fiction."
\n
\nPro-Tip: There are two major things, listeners, that you can get from this podcast: first,\xa0soak up the incredibly valuable writing-for-RPGs\xa0information provided by our guests.\xa0Second, listen to\xa0how Howard abases himself when he has the opportunity to sit down with experts who have information he desperately needs.
\n
\nLiner Notes: Howard habitually\xa0mispronounces the word "ablative." The accent should be on the first syllable:\xa0[ab-luh-tiv]
\n
\nAddendum: As of this posting\xa0The Planet Mercenary Role Playing Game is not yet available for purchase.
