Mike Shea, also known as Sly Flourish, was gracious enough to sit down with me, and we enjoyed a sprawling conversation about mindfulness and roleplaying games. Mike shares his insights about the journey from roleplaying-game fan to freelance writer for companies such as Wizards of the Coast. He offers numerous suggestions for players that want to run better RPG sessions, and for writers who wish to break into the RPG industry.
Enjoy the first episode of Ego Check with The Id DM! And please subscribe to the podcast on iTunes or Podbean. Leave a (positive) review and help spread the word about the show. My plan is to release new episodes the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month - so 24 episodes each year.
If you are interested in coming on the show for an interview, or would like to become a sponsor, contact me to make arrangements.
