Welcome back to The Spark, NPL's podcast about art and creativity.

Today, following up on last month's discussion of tabletop roleplaying games at the library, we're joined by Andrew Palmer to discuss running D&D for teens, the relationship between tabletop and video roleplaying games, and making compelling stories for an audience via actual play podcast.

Theme song by Joey Frevola

An old woman adopts a boy whose parents have died, but he is rude and lazy rather than industrious and helpful. Unable to get him to change his ways, she turns him into an ass. Will he finally become the good worker she hoped him to be?

Two quarrelling rulers with a shared border agree that anyone crossing from one country to the other should be subject to punishment. After one of these rulers imprisons his own wazir for a perceived slight, he rides off alone and accidentally crosses the border into the neighboring country, where he is taken into custody and sentenced to die. Will he or the wazir ever walk free again?
