    Ep. 3 - Writing Mystery and Madness with Mike Mason of Chaosium

    Watch as a full video interview on our YouTube channel In the final of our cross-over interview episodes with Page One, we chat with the brilliant Mike Mason! Mike Mason is an award-winning game designer and writer, and the creative director for the Call of Cthulhu tabletop roleplaying game. As well as being the commissioning editor and lead writer for the line, Mike also works closely with artists and cartographers to shape the look and art for Call of Cthulhu. It was great speaking with Mike and hearing how his love for storytelling and Call of Cthulhu led to him landing his dream job. He tells us about how he writes scenarios and campaign books, and how that differs (and doesn't differ) from writing other forms of fiction. Plus, we talk about writing effective horror, and discuss why mystery fiction of all kinds is so popular.

    Watch as a full video interview on YouTube Welcome to the first episode of Narrative Damage - a podcast where some of your favourite authors gather together to roll dice, craft worlds and tell stories together through the medium of tabletop roleplaying games (TTRPGs)! For our first guest, we are delighted to chat with the brilliant Sydney Amanuel. Sydney is an actor and designer from New York. While she is usually spotted in films and TV, she also appears on multiple TTRPG podcasts on The Glass Cannon Network where she plays various characters full of improv comedy, fantasy and fun.  Sydney tells us about how she sort of stumbled into the world of live TTRPGs and tells us about the avenues that these games give for storytelling. We talk about the many similarities between the writing process and roleplaying games, including how she crafts characters, worlds and more.
