Why We Roll × Laurie O'Connel and Playtest Material #ttrpg #stream

Learn about the new quarterly magazine of TTRPG studies and culture, Playtest Material, with lead editor Laurie O'Connel (Full Send, Children of Black Silt, Death Game, Hieronymus) and your hosts, Wythe Marschall (Stillfleet, PICARO!) and Christopher Pickett (Danse Macabre). We talk about what a literary journal/magazine is, curating and then editing articles, working to organize a variety of authors and subjects, helping writers find and amplify novel arguments, the future of Playtest Material (Land? Objects?), and the horror of writing author bios. Playtest Material is an important project for the indie TTRPG world, and hope you check it out!
