Daniel Sell is the founder of Melsonian Art Council, a publisher of the finest TTRPG books, creator of Troika! The Science Fantasy RPG, and someone who is always lifting other creators up.

I've been following Daniel's work for a long while, since the days of Google + or something. I religiously bought all the Undercroft zines he released and fell in love with Troika! the movement it was released. Since then, Melsonian has not disappointed and has put out some of the most creative adventures and setting of the Indie RPG scene, and continues to do so.

In this chat, me and Daniel talk about his journey as a creator and publisher, how he is always learning new things, the development of Troika!, what he has in stores for the future, how he would love to have supernatural experiences and even join a cult!

It was a great and fun chat. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

So listen up and get weird with us!
