This week’s guest is W.F. Smith of Prismatic Wastland. We talk about his new physical book Prismatic Wisdom & Barkeep on the Borderlands. We discuss his history with B2: Keep on the Borderlands (how Barkeep is a pseudo-sequel), pub crawls in Athens, GA, and how he’s a “pun-first” writer.
We briefly touch on his games: Big Rock Candy Hexcrawl Pamphlet, Trouble in Paradisa, and Wonky Willie's Authentic Interactive Extravaganza.

MD 404 - Championship Belt of the Verdant Wastes w/ W.F. Smith
The Championship Belt of the Verdant Wastes was created by a primeval nature spirit named Creature of the Green. The belt has its own ecosystem of greenery, moss and fungus that’s seen with the naked eye, but on its surface is a civilization of microscopic mushroom folk called Foos.
Like professional wrestlers and gods, the belt gains its power through devotion to the wearer. You must complete a previous level before moving on to the next level.
Level 1: The Foos worship you as their god. When you walk, a trail of lush greenery follows your steps. As The Green Walker, you can be a savoir to the wastelands.
Level 2: A crowd is currently cheering you on. Conjure vines to create a pro wrestling stadium with a ring for 24 hours. You gain bonuses for performing rope maneuvers.
Level 3: You’re currently a verdant avatar for the Creature of the Green. Grow into a 300-foot tall plant kaiju that you control from the inside like a mech.
