Episode 52: James Sutter

This week we chat with James L. Sutter, co-creator of both Pathfinder and Starfinder.  Yet, as you will hear, James has done so much more in his creative work.  From writing to performing on guitar, join us as we explore James' unique and diverse range of linguistic and artistic expression.  And make certain to stick around until the end of the interview.  That's when things get serious and we talk about what matters in life.

Please also out James' creative work:

Welcome to Dice in Mind, a weekly podcast in which we explore the meaning of life through the lens of RPGs!  In each episode, we will consider everyday stuff like science, religion, philosophy, and economics…through the lens of a specific roleplaying game and its dice mechanic.
