I was interviewed for the new Stray Pointers podcast

August 2, 2023 0 Comments

  Writer and tech whiz Jim Lawless has recently launched a new podcast interview series, Stray Pointers, and I was honored and delighted to be his first guest. Had a chance to discuss how I got into writing, what drives creative projects, my books, and more. It was a great experience. Jim is a great interviewer and I look forward to seeing who else he talks to in the days and weeks (and hopefully months and years) ahead. For now, you can listen to my interview here.

Also awesome is that I created the score and music for the show, including the opening and closing themes. It’s been a fun project and I’m grateful that my odd ambient experiments caught Michael’s ear. I’ve seen the first four episodes so far and am happy to report that he’s building some good drama here. Take a look at the first episode:

Enjoy! And for some previous thoughts on Harryhausen’s work, check out my thoughts on The 7th Voyage of Sinbad.

I Need a Solo RPG! I’ve been on a quest to find the perfect solo tabletop RPG for myself. I have a specific itch, but most games can’t scratch it. There are many out there, but with a few exceptions none have seemed quite right. I have no interest in the many journaling-style games out there, which are really just collections of writing prompts with a game built around them. (The conceit of Colostle, for example, looks amazing, but I just have no interest in making up a story as I go for the sake of a game. When I want to do that, I write.) Others are more purely skirmish games, focused on fighting. Not interested. I want exploring and stuff to do outside…
