In this episode of the CROM Updates Podcast, Kurt Brugel and guest writer Rom Parsons discuss Rom’s story, Crom and the Ziggurat of Blood, a sword and sorcery adventure in Ophir where Crom, guided by Queen Tanit, battles cultists to retrieve a demon-summoning relic. Rom reveals his aspirations to transform his prose into comic book format, and Kurt provides practical advice, recommending a modular story approach to ease adaptation and collaboration with artists. Together, they highlight the potential of comics as a medium for sword and sorcery and emphasize the supportive role of the “Crommunity” in connecting creators for future projects.

Educational Highlights from the Podcast Discussion:

2. Balancing Creativity and Guidance in Collaboration: The discussion on setting creative direction without overwhelming artists provides insights into fostering effective writer-artist partnerships.
3. Leveraging Social Media for Collaboration: Insights on using Instagram for connecting with potential collaborators, like Kurt’s experience with artist James Anthony, underline social media's role in creative networking.
