Hey hey everyone,To send this year off in style, I have a very special guest for you. His name is Travis Baldree, and he did pretty much everything a nerd would ever want to do. In this podcast, we're not only talking about his #1 NYT Best Selling, Award-Winning, Ass-Kicking Books, we also go deep into how video game culture has changed, why making games may break your heart, and what we can do to make litRPG and progression fantasy grow as a genre. (Also why that might seem scary, but really isn't.)As always, there's an hour more on Patreon!
