His podcast "Death of 1000 cuts" is a fascinating insight into writers and writing.

In our latest On Stage interview Iain is joined by Jon Hodgson of Handiwork Games. Jon has had a long career in tableop RPGs. He started off as a freelance artist but has had creative director, art director, and Deputy CEO. He has worked on huge franchise titles like Lord of the Rings and Doctor Who but has left all that behind to establish his own company. Jon was kind enough to come over to the GB HQ to talk about his career, establishing Handiwork Games, the rise of AI art, and more besides in this wide ranging interview.
