Skeleton Songs S3 EP3 - The Kilns of Smorgasbord
Author. Visionary. Dreamweaver. Plus bellhop. Meet Jack Vance, one of the most inventive fantasy authors we've ever heard of, and probably not a pirate king. What happens when fairies become too lumpen and earthy? Why are Lvl1 wizards in D&D so rubbish? Who is Larkin the Baby-Stealer, and why are you reaching for that kazoo?
We talk Cugel the Clever, Vancean magic and why you shouldn't make bread from dogs.
