Brooke and Tyler interview Brandon and Monika Finn of Paladin Creative who created the Worldhopper Ball at DSnx24. We discuss how the Worldhopper Ball was born out of Brandon and Monika's passion for DnD, the process of pitching to Dragonsteel, the challenges of bringing a fictional world into a real space, the storytelling power of crafting an "experiential novella," and the wondrous five sessions attended by fans in December. This episode contains spoilers for Wind and Truth but they are clearly vocally marked during the episode. #AllSpoilers
