Have you ever dreamt about your homemade tabletop RPG world making it big? Of your setting - be it D&D or something else - becoming 'official' with artwork and an honest-to-goodness hardback that sits on the shelf? For many of us, that's just a daydream. For Ellinor DiLorenzo, it's reality.
"It’s pretty darn surreal and I still can’t believe it’s happening," DiLorenzo tells me when we catch up about her new book Vaesen: The Lost Mountain Saga, which is based on her actual play series of the same name. "The Lost Mountain Saga podcast was a very special project for me, emotionally, as it sort of aligned with my first pregnancy and now I wrote the book version during my second pregnancy. So there’s so much love tied into this saga, and similar to seeing your kid explore the world, it’s been so cool to see my creative baby also flourish and continue to grow."
