Complicated Opportunities: A Cosmere RPG Podcast

Welcome back to Complicated Opportunities!  This week we get….another side quest! Kyle was at JordanCon and was able to sit down with the Author Janci Patterson! She goes over how it is to work with Dragonsteel, her novels, and history with TTRPGS. 

PS:  We had to record this at a convention so I cleaned up the audio as much as I could.

Welcome back to Complicated Opportunities!  This week we get….another side quest! Kyle was at JordanCon and was able to sit down with the Continuity Editor from Dragonsteel:  Karen Ahlstrom!  She goes over how it is to work with Brotherwise and Dragonsteel on continuity to ensure that we get the wonderful collaboration between the two companies!  Plus we hear about the Fused and a misconception about how their powers work! Enjoy!

PS:  We had to record this outside at a convention so I cleaned up the audio as much as I could.

Welcome back to Complicated Opportunities!  This week we are taking a side quest to JordanCon!  Kyle goes solo at JordanCon and does an interview with Shawn Banerjee, one of the founders of the Word Refinery, and a freelancer in the TTRPG industry.  We talk about Shawn’s background in the industry, but he is also a player in a Cosmere RPG campaign! Sit back and relax and listen to two ADHDers off their meds!
