Today's episode is the first in a mini-series on World Building, a topic much too big to cover in a single episode. For this first episode, John and Ian discuss
suspension of disbelief, finding the balance between hard and soft world-building, and how TTRPGs as a medium allow players to interview a world’s creator directly.
