We talked about the impact of his philosophical views on his TTRPG writing, and discuss the whole 'railroading v sandbox' styles of storytelling in TTRPGs. Plus, he discusses why reading TTRPG books can help writers of all kinds, and we discuss how to make horror have an impact in writing.</p><p><br></p><p>Links:</p><p><a href=\"https://bsky.app/profile/drgonzo123.bsky.social\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Follow Dennis on Bluesky</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/publisher/521/Arc-Dream-Publishing\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Buy Delta Green now</a></p><p><br></p><p>Follow Narrative Damage on YouTube or its own podcast feed to get more interviews with TTRPG writers, creators and more, plus actual plays with some of your favourite authors: <a href=\"https://linktr.ee/narrativedamagerpg\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://linktr.ee/narrativedamagerpg</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/narrativedamagerpg/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Follow us on Instagram</a></p><p><a href=\"https://bsky.app/profile/narrativedamagerpg.bsky.social\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Follow us on Bluesky</a></p>","author_name":"Narrative Damage"}
