Casey Sutton Great question! I was actually just on a podcast and mentioned this. I think it absolutely did. I started playing D&D in the 6th grade and my friends always forced me to be the DM usually. I always wanted to be a player and make a cool class to play. But I saw how happy being a DM made my friends and enjoyed creating worlds and stories for them. So I think that's probably where my writing/storytelling career actually started!

I actually haven't based Malfus or any of this on any previous characters or sessions. I like the idea of that, but I had some pretty specific ideas, at least for this story anyway!

But, I did really want a grimdark/adult version of some of the D&D novels I read as a kid like Drizzt and the Dragonlance series. I loved novels like that as a kid, but haven't seen any that have the dark grittiness of Joe Abercrombie that I love. SO I wrote my own!
