In this episode of Epic Realms, we sit down with musician, author, and board game designer Brady J Sadler for a deep dive into his life and creative journey. From his early influences in music and gaming to the unexpected twists along the way, Brady shares how his path was anything but traditional.

We talk about his first attempt at college and how it fell apart thanks to Grand Theft Auto, and how he later found his way back by working as a janitor at a college while pursuing creative writing. During this time, he was also writing his first book and performing in the metal band Lorenguard.

Brady also takes us behind the scenes of his work at Fantasy Flight Games, including collaborating with legendary game designer and Epic Realms alumni Corey Konieczka. We explore how music shapes his storytelling, and dive into his latest project that brings his novels into the world of board games through Kickstarter.
