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.
