How to create your own world for D&D and TTRPGs with fantasy author Joe Abercrombie

This was a surprising and informative podcast. The fast-beat background music was a bit distracting, though. 😊

Perdito Street Station - best city-based fantasy novel I've ever read.

I'm not a fan of grimdark fantasy, but I absolutely enjoyed the Shattered Sea books by Mr Abercrombie mainly since that stayed away from the general misogynist or sadist vibes that have become a regular trope with the genre. My hope is that someday we'll get an adaptation for the Shattered Sea books, they're perfect fodder for a more mature take on the young-adult genre.

What a beautiful and free source of world building advice. Love Joe.

Two constructive points of criticism: you should let the guest speak the most, and share the hosting with the co-host. Michael seems to be doing a lot in this video featuring two other people. Maybe craft some more questions and really be an interviewer, this presents as more of a lopsided round table. Also, please get rid of the background music, it is just audible enough to be distracting and annoying.

Oh my goodness. This looks fantastic

Omg my favourite author talking about TTRPGs?!

[@Rosmarus_Odobenus]

This was great! I read some of Mr. Abercrombies books (I'll continue once I recover from what they've done to me) and he seems like a really cool person.

"The characters do what I tell them. I'm in charge." ...I *wish* I could relate to that statement. Sometimes my characters do things I'm not expecting them to and whoops suddenly there's a zombie apocalypse subplot in my goofy weekly pun based comedy when I was thinking I was writing a filler episode.

Literally writing a ttrpg ruleset inspired by first law
