Bob tells us about his various experiences with D&D and writing. Bob is the writer of the Jubal County Saga, a series of books about Howard Marsh, a meth addicted magician living in the American South. Bob has also designed and published a few dozen single page RPGs and a few longer ones. All of this in a joking collaboration with three partners who are definitely not octopi in trench coats.
Bob's campaign world of Aelriss is much like Earth only during the Medieval Age a Cthulhuian horror emerged along with monsters known as the Fathomless. These monsters transformed Aelriss into a waterworld with only a few islands where civilization has survived. After the initial catastrophe, an equilibrium was established. Ships could still travel and trade between islands, but only up to a certain size. Too big and the creatures of the deep would notice and swallow such a vessel. The disaster also birthed a new set of gods while the old faiths of Aelriss merged into a single religion of the old ways.
And we also got into a discussion about horror films and their connection to different cultural themes in American society.
