Fictional Problems, in association with Speculative Fiction Ireland, explores how to handle action on the page. The hosts discuss choreographing fights, making violence necessary and consequential, and balancing realism with imaginative elements like magic, super science and healing.
They also talk about systemising your magic and power rules so stakes remain meaningful, and have a longer conversation about the movie Old Guard and how immortality, worldbuilding and character choices affect believable action scenes.
