The Sword and Laser

On this episode we breakdown the Tolkien estate case against Warner Brothers, debate the origins of the Ghallu, and even figure out the January book pick! Also Tom has a Snow Day.  But it's not what you think. It's BETTER!

S&L Podcast - #115 - Ghallu everyone!

Patrick Rothfuss, author of The Kingkiller Chronicles, joins us in the space castle to talk world building, beard growing, and how he ripped off Sir Issac Newton.

Jim Butcher joins us to talk about Harry Dresden's latest adventure, his upcoming steampunk series, and how LARP helps shape his world building.
