WADY 1: Magic Systems and TTRPGs

Welcome to Episode 1 of We Aren’t Dead Yet, a podcast throwing magic missiles into the ttrpg, gamer and speculative fiction sphere and seeing whether we come out alive at the end.

Today’s episode… Magic Systems in Literature & TTRPGs!

We gab about Soft versus Hard Worldbuilding for magic, why Magic Realism is an outlier (also why you need to read A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings by Gabriel Garcia Marquez if you already haven’t), what magic means to fiction, character, setting and plot and plenty more. Dazz brings in her tenure as a long-standing Game Master to talk Game Design and helping players figure out magic for themselves, while Emily talks player experiences.

We’ll see you next week, for writing short fiction out of ttrpg world builds!

Hosts: Sapha Burnell, K. S. Bishoff, Emily Armstrong
