Heart of Arcana: The Many Ways to Design an Adventure | Interview

My guest this time is Paul Ligorski, also known as Heart of Arcana. Paul has written quite a few advenuters, not only for Draw Steel, but for D&D 5e, Mausritter and Cypher. He also runs a local game night multiple times a month. We talk about writing adventures for different systems, which TTRPG systems work well for teaching new players, how interacting with gods is different in Draw Steel, and how watching Draw Steel being designed has made him reimagine what can be used for inspiration.Links:Hyper Light DrifterUrsula K.
