    The Intersection of Game and Story - Interview with Marie Brennan and Alyc Helms

    The Intersection of Game and Story - Interview with Marie Brennan and Alyc Helms

    I interview authors Marie Brennan and Alyc Helms on how tabletop roleplaying games  have impacted their life as well as influenced and inspired their writing.  It's a good dive into the difficulties and joys involved with taking a game and turning it into a novel.

    Check out all the amazing links below for more information on my two guests on this episode!  Big thanks to both Marie Brennan and Alyc Helms for coming on the show.  Best of fortune to them this month with their Kickstarter and their third book, Labyrinth's Heart.

Michael R. Underwood ,

Fun, inventive, and insightful!

Natural Geekery is back for a third season, and it's off to a great start! Podcast host Bryan is a great interviewer and I love listening to the conversations about different people's perspectives on and approaches to GMing and playing TTRPGs.

Bard of Rythfar ,

Informative, creative and fun!

Very interesting podcast with so much variety, creativity, and insightful suggestions for developing quality role playing experiences. Helpful hints for both gamers and game masters plus engaging interviews and stories. Thank you for giving back to the gaming community!
