Liisa Lee @Liisabelle (How We Roll podcast, Writer for DragonRealms, & Casting/ Consultant/ NPC for SoMEDnD):
"Trouble is Delicious! Trouble is Fun. Teaching your players, or helping navigate your players through the gradients of consequences a failed roll can bring is wonderful storytelling. It doesn't always have to mean tragedy. I've run games where fumbles and fails, turn into the real Gold of the game, to hilarious and wonderfully memorable results.
Teaching players to embrace the trouble they get in also builds trust at the table, and that creates a bit more freedom for everyone to create and help build a better story with the whole table.
It's also a wonderful tool to build tension for later conflict resolution and ultimate, sweeter, player victory... or memorable defeat. "It's all about the storytelling."
Currently:
Double Trouble!
Things coming soon.
A wonderful project with friends and heroes that's been incredibly fulfilling to get to collaborate on. You're gonna love this, just love it. Arriving ashore 2025.
Four environments and locations within the Kickstarter Favorite Project, Anansi's Tapestry of Lives by Neverending Inc. A DnD 5E compatible supplement. Writers on the project also include Ed Greenwood and Keith Baker. Funded in just under 3 hours and racked up a ton of Stretch Goals.
I learned to read before most of my classmates were starting, by following the adventures of a few furry-footed fellows, a wizard and a ring. The creative play of books and writing made me a voracious reader, so naturally getting to be in your own story, like DnD was a thrill. That led me to text based MUDs where I learned to write for games, and then more DnD.
Other current projects include: a book, a children's book, and a cookbook.
