Episode 38 of The Geek Saga Podcast includes live audio from the Dragon Con High Fantasy track’s “Game of Tricksters” panel that aired during Virtual Dragon Con 2020.
“In George R. R. Martin’s sprawling epic, he incorporates and plays with many of the tropes of High Fantasy. Which characters embody the trickster archetype? When does GRRM play it straight and when does he subvert our expectations?”
Panelists: Myself, Andrew d’Adesky, Chloe K, Rebecca F

CHEERS!
I was super excited about this panel and only regret that it was scheduled for Monday morning of Dragon Con (of all times) because it being the last day of the convention, many of us (namely me, ha!) weren’t at the top of our game. Still, it was fun to get some audience involvement on whether the show nailed it or failed it when portraying the ASOIAF characters we love, hate, or love to hate. Stay tuned for the Ice & Fire Con 2020 version of this one, that’s for sure!

While the idea for this panel was to discuss types of trauma-related illnesses that a post-apocalyptic protagonist might deal with and how to handle these characters honestly, thanks to an AMAZING audience and some great questions, it evolved into much more.

Ten years. Eight seasons. Several weddings. Near countless deaths. And hey, that ending was…something. Here are our thoughts – the good and the bad.

Each year the High Fantasy track chooses an overall theme, and this year was “The Hero’s Journey”. This panel focused on how GRRM uses the traditional Heroes Journey to subvert reader expectations.

With all the hype surrounding Red Dead Redemption 2 this past year or so, I needed there to be an RDR2 panel. Thank you to the Video Gaming track for taking a chance on me (having never worked with them before) and letting myself and my buddy Dean host one!
