I am as always your host GM Nathan I use he/him pronouns, and this week we are joined by a really special guest who essentially excels at every aspect of TTRPG performance and production, Eli aka aghostofeli from Mayday Roleplay!

Eli was an early connection we made in the TTRPG space, and immediately stood out for their abilities and instincts as a performer and professional sound designer editor. And over the years since, he has been a wonderful force for good in the space, further cementing my admiration of her.

This is such a great episode, especially for those of us who are trying to balance our creative work with life, friendship, burnout, and the general weight of being. Eli and I chat about the editing process, collaboration, peer and community building, making your process sustainable, identity, and oh so much more.

Eli is genuinely one of my favorite folks, and I think you’ll enjoy your time with her as much as I did.

As always if you enjoy this episode please go check out some of our other Reckless A-Talk interviews and maybe even our actual play episodes.

We have links to the things that Eli and I talk about in the show notes, including to the always excellent shows over at Mayday Roleplay and his game design work.

With that - thanks for listening!
