About this listen
In this episode, we look at the roll of the dice and the whim of a tyrant to explore the terrifying force of the unpredictable.
In this episode, we discuss:
-
The Whim as Law: Using the model of the Absolute Monarch to create a conflict where merit doesn't matter and the rules change with the King’s mood.
-
The Terror of the Random: Analyzing the "Anton Chigurh" effect, why removing logic from a conflict through an arbitrary coin flip is the ultimate test of a protagonist’s resolve.
In your current project, is every outcome earned through cause and effect, or are you brave enough to let the coin land on its edge and force your characters to survive the arbitrary?
