Summary
Welcome to the Punchbowl, an interview segment about playing Dungeons and Dragons in 2018 and beyond. We talk to people who are pushing the game forward - creatively, communally, socially, just doing good work.
Today we sit down with Carey Pietsch, the artist behind the graphic novel The Adventure Zone: Here There Be Gerblins. We talk changing from gaming to audio to visual art, choosing the color of grass, and making magic items pop.
Find her on twitter at @careydraws and order the book from the publisher, Barnes and Noble (for that good good poster) or your friendly local bookstore.
This episode of Join the Party is produced and edited by Eric Silver. Mixed by Brandon Grugle.
