Possibly no novel had a greater impact on Dungeons & Dragons than Three Hearts and Three Lions by Poul Anderson. Law, chaos, the paladin, the troll, the list goes on. Ben Riggs discusses the novel with gaming great Gareth Ryder-Hanrahan and academic Scott Bruner. Ryder-Hanrahan is one of the geniuses behind the greatest RPG campaign of all-time, The Dracula Dossier, and he has a new novel, The Shadow Saint, out right now!
Ben’s book on RPG adventure design, Encounter Theory, is on DriveThruRPG. Click here to pick up this essential volume!

you’ll get a sneak peek into Ben’s book about the sale of TSR to
Wizards of the Coast! This chapter concerns TSR West, an effort by
TSR to open an LA office devoted to producing comic books, an
effort that failed rather impressively. It is the product of a
dozen interviews with professionals from comics, gaming, and
Hollywood, and as far as I can reckon, it is a tale entirely untold
until now.
