About this episode

The episode explores the blurred lines between storyteller, player, and character in the context of the novel Tower of Babel.

We climb John H. Steele ’s Tower of Babel , a Mage novel full of creators, characters, conspiracies, and reality getting mighty leaky around the edges. It’s metafiction, Technocracy trouble, dream-tower theology, and one poor writer learning that when your fiction talks back, maybe don’t answer after drinking. Show Notes Tower of Babel - Book man invents fascist action guy. Fascist action guy becomes real. Magic happens. Bureaucrats get spooky. Reality files a complaint. John H. Steele - wrote lots of White Wolf fiction, helped shape the Clan Novel Saga , and used the pen name Gherbod Fleming.
