GM Book Club Podcast: International Chapter

I meant to post about this over a month ago, but failed drastically. However, better late than never I suppose. (Sorry Eric). Myself and my good friends Rich and Marty were invited by the host Eric to feature on the GM Book Club podcast. This episode is called From Graphic Novels to Gaming Tables: How Monstress Inspires Adventure and is all about Monstress by Marjorie Liu.

I love graphic novels and comics and find that the stories tend to be bit wilder in this format. So it was a joy to do a deep dive on this one with the others. Eric did a masterful job of hosting and kept us all on track.

We discuss the book in the context of roleplaying and look for things to port into our games. Great fun!

As the three of us are based in Australia, we now make up the international chapter of the podcast! I’m looking forward to recording more of these episodes in the near future and we have a couple locked in already.

Stories Lived. Stories Told Podcast

A few months ago I recorded an episode of the Stories Lived. Stories Told. podcast hosted by Abbie VanMeter. Abbie was an excellent host, who made the experience very straightforward and the kept the conversation flowing. We talked about D&D in the context of leadership and communication. Heres the official blurb:

How do games like Dungeons and Dragons enable us to practice a CMM-informed way of relating, participating, and communicating?

Today, Abbie and Tom explore Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) as a powerful practice and metaphor for developing more relational, emergent, and collaborative ways of being and leading, touching on the value of experiental learning in scenarios our brains will remember as real; the need (both in game and out) to coordinate across different meanings being made in each of our own imaginations; and the opportunity to transform and be transformed by collective storytelling and world building.

I had a great time recording the episode and we covered a lot of ground. You can find it by following the links below:

Last week Matt from Bedroom Battlefields kindly interviewed me on his Tabletop Miniatures Hobby Podcast: episode here.

We chat about all things hobby related, this blog and my hobby origin story. We also talk about multiplayer games, emergent story telling and betrayal in scenarios.
