Welcome back, wanderer. Today, we set sail on a journey through the realms of imagination with the esteemed Chris A. Jackson. A master of the written word, Chris has regaled us with tales of high seas and daring adventures in his acclaimed Pathfinder Tales novels and captivating readers with his vivid depictions of pirate lore and nautical escapades. But his literary prowess extends far beyond the confines of the ocean, as he has also delved into the realms of apocalyptic fiction, exploring the depths of human resilience in the face of cataclysmic events. Hailing from the shores of Oregon, Chris's affinity for the sea runs deep, rooted in a childhood spent amidst the rolling waves and salt-laden air. Trained as a marine biologist, he eventually found his true calling as a storyteller, setting sail with his wife Anne aboard a 45-foot sailboat to traverse the azure waters of the Caribbean. His acclaimed Scimitar Seas series has garnered accolades aplenty, earning three consecutive Gold Medals in the ForeWord Reviews Book of the Year Awards. Join us as we delve into the intricacies of setting and genre in long fiction, with a particular focus on the evocative worlds of pirate and sailing settings and the haunting landscapes of apocalyptic narratives.

This one's for the folks who don't want to spend a few eons building their world before they can start their story. Author and game designer James L. Sutter joins us to share some quick-and-dirty methods for getting the worldbuilding going! In this episode, we explore the question of how much worldbuilding is necessary -- and when it's necessary. If you already have your plot and want to charge right in, that can be a different beast than if you're still feeling your way around what the story's about but know that there must be one in there somewhere. [Transcript TK] Our Guest:  James L. Sutter is a co-creator of the Pathfinder and Starfinder Roleplaying Games. From 2004 to 2017, he worked for Paizo Publishing, starting out as an editor on Dungeon Magazine, moving on to do foundational work for Pathfinder, and eventually becoming the Creative Director in charge of launching Starfinder, as well as the Executive Editor of the Pathfinder Tales novel line for Paizo and Tor. James is also the author of the young adult romance novels Darkhearts and The Ghost of Us (coming June 2024), as well as the fantasy novels Death's Heretic—a finalist for the Compton Crook Award for Best First Novel—and The Redemption Engine, which won the 2015 Scribe Award for Best Original Speculative Novel. His short stories have appeared in such venues as Nightmare, The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Beneath Ceaseless Skies, Escape Pod, and the #1 Amazon best-seller Machine of Death. In addition, he's written comic books, essays in venues like Clarkesworld and Lightspeed: Queers Destroy Science Fiction, a wealth of tabletop gaming material, and video games. When not writing, James has performed with musical acts ranging from metalcore to musical theater. He lives in Seattle.

In this episode we're going to deviate a bit from the usual focus on fiction to talk about writing for tabletop roleplaying games and related media. RPGs have always been deeply interconnected with fantasy, sci-fi, and horror, and right now they are more popular and prevalent than ever before. James L. Sutter co-created the lore and story-rich fantasy RPG PATHFINDER for Paizo Publishing, which has become one of the most popular roleplaying games in the world. He then took the role of Creative Director on STARFINDER, a science-fantasy RPG that reimagined the world of Pathfinder in a space-faring future. Along the way, he's written Pathfinder tie-in novels DEATH'S HERETIC and THE REDEMPTION ENGINE, RPG adventures and source books for Pathfinder, Starfinder, and Dungeons & Dragons, and a large body of short fiction, comics, and video games. His latest book, DARKHEARTS, is a departure from genre fiction—a young adult romance about estranged bandmates that must reconcile the loss of their best friend, and their unexpected attraction to each other.
