Contact the Paladins of Podcast Rob was finally able to get something in the schedule to talk with Jay Dragon and Ruby Lavin after a busy August for everyone, and some tumultuous thunderstorms in early September. We were able to really dive into both the designing aspect as well as the creation aspect of Wanderhome and connect with each of these fantastic individuals about how they chose their pro...

Contact the Paladins of Podcast I was listening to this weeks episode when I realized that Rob over develops most of his NPC's because either his players expect him to because they've always asked in depth questions or they expect him to because he always has. But the fact is, these NPC's are way developed, especially the reoccurring ones. Anyone else do this? --- Support this podca...

Contact the Paladins of Podcast Rob & Josh started out really strong with this one by mentioning a few things about using media as inspiration in a bid to finish a quick idea from last weeks episode.

Contact the Paladins of Podcast While Rob has talked about where a lot of his inspiration comes from, as we wrap up learning about Josh we take a closer look into what his general inspiration is when developing his stories and worlds.
