Host of the hugely popular Blood on the Clocktower live, Jon also designs board games and appears regularly on No Rolls Barred as well as other gaming channels playing both board games and roleplaying games. His debut novel will be set in the world of Blood on the Clocktower.</p><p><br></p><p>We loved chatting to Jon in the studio, hearing how he first got into sketch comedy before moving into the world of games. We talk about how to craft a good sketch show, hear why Blood on the Clocktower live has been such a huge success, and chat about why he wanted to write a novel set in that world. We also discuss the narrative power of both video games and TTRPGs, and how that storytelling differs from other mediums.</p><p><br></p><p>Links:</p><p><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/50_shades_of_gracey/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Follow Jon on Instagram</a></p><p><a href=\"https://jongracey.sexy/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Visit Jon&#39;s website</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/reel/Dbb5PKTuFcM/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsi=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Watch the Jon Parkin video that Jon talks about in the episode</a></p><p><br></p><p>Support us on Patreon and get the podcast early and ad-free, along with other great benefits, including a bonus episodes: <a href=\"https://www.patreon.com/ukpageone\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.patreon.com/ukpageone</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://linktr.ee/narrativedamagerpg\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Listen to authors telling stories together on our sister show, Narrative Damage</a></p><p><br></p><p>Page One - The Writer&#39;s Podcast is brought to you by Write Gear, creators of Page One - the Writer&#39;s Notebook.
