This week, I am delighted to present my interview with Tracy Hickman, accomplished author and a true gentleman. We talk about his body of work, including the Dragonlance books, as well as his new book Xtreme Dungeon Mastery, which can help us make our pen-and-paper games much more fun and exciting. We had so much great material that I am saving some of his writing and parenting advice for another show soon! He is pictured below with his wife and writing partner Laura Hickman.
