Ep 26: the black wyrm of Brandonsford

[misha]

Also you guys should get Beau Rancourt onto the podcast (edit: or just read and respond to his work). I don’t agree with all his tuff, but he has very strong opinions on adventure writing and puts in the work for some very detailed critiques. He discusses this module in depth on his blog.

There's some internal debate on guest appearances--I think if we had one I'd probably want a writer or designer over a critic.

I'd read Beau's Arden Vul retrospective and found it very in depth, if not always in line with my takes on the book. I checked out his Black Wyrm post and was pretty surprised at how much overlap it has with the episode--if anything he's even more hardline on legwork than we are, which is a fun change of pace.

And then I found his reddit posts from the last 24 hours (posted after you suggested him). Saying that if you wouldn't yell at someone for boosting a drunk driver you can't yell at someone for boosting a bigot (because bigotry is less of a big deal than drunk driving) is a wild take. R.I.P.
