Today on the show Amber spoke with Dylan Goss, who is writing a webcomic called Mara based on his level 1-20 5e D&D campaign. The titular character Mara is displaced from her homeland and seeks fulfillment in the world at large. Amber chatted with Dylan on August 24 about turning the campaign into a cohesive and engaging narrative, finding an illustrator and the working relationship between the two, and the power of language both within Mara and in real life as well.
