It's our first Johnversation, wherein I chat with my partner, graphic artist and roleplaying game designer John Harper, about creative practice and process. This time, we get into inspiration across media – and specifically how film and television inform John's creative work – plus the power of remixing genres and tropes, and what we're watching lately that's fanning our creative flames.
Find John on Twitter @john_harper, and check out his games at johnharper.itch.io and Evil Hat Productions.
And, as always, take care, keep creating, and stay divine.
