World Anvil Worldbuilding Podcast
Arts:Books
In part two of our discussion on interactions between Magic and technology, we continue our talk with Dr Trent Hergenrader, a genuine, real-life PROFESSOR OF WORLDBUILDING! We talk about magic and technology, specifically how they might interact in a worldbuilding setting, and different ways you can do this. We examine old tropes and paradigms, and look at great examples of the two combined!
We always have amazing guests, so check back for new episodes soon. You can also catch these discussions live on Twitch.tv/worldanvil, watch the videos on youtube.com/worldanvil, or head over to www.worldanvil.com to start worldbuilding right now. So grab your hammer, and go worldbuild!
