Dragon Talk: Christoff Visscher, Random Character Generator

Description: An immersive experience based on memory and scent. Christoff Visscher has learned how to harness the link between nostalgia and our sense of smell to create emotionally resonant stories, worlds, and perspective. Through Cantrip Candles and Tales By Candlelight, he is exploring the way a candle can represent a place, rather than just a thing. Perspective is invaluable but tricky to gain and attain. In this episode we talk about Immersion as a way of having perspective on tap, and the difference between escapism and play. In Christoff’s words “I look at escapism is running away, and I look at immersing as running towards...” Let’s unpack that a bit. Make it immersive:Harry PotterSelected Links:Tales By Candlelight Cantrip CandlesTypes of candlesScent and memoryHarry potter: Wizards uniteGreat hall candlesPlayback improvThe Guest and the HostGalaxy’s edgeStonemoss chappleRainforest cafeBlack holesShow Notes:Making candles [1:58]Scent and memory [5:05]What is tales by candlelight?

#7 Candles, memory, and the value of new perspective -Christoff Visscher

Welcome back to the Gaming With Gage, your podcast for roleplaying games and the periphery.Thank you for being here!This week I had the chance to talk with Christoff Visscher of Cantrip Candles. If the name sounds familiar it’s because we burn Cantrip Candles when we record our Who’s Agatha actual play. Cantrip Candles are crafted for Tabletop Roleplaying Games with scents like Stonemoss Chapel, Black Hound Tavern and The Library Scriptorium. We love these candles and I was so pleased that Christoff was able to come on the show.We did have a small audio issue that resulted in the first couple minutes of the show being cut. If it seems like Christoff and I are fast friends in the middle of conversation it’s because of this audio issue and because Christoff is a really cool person.Keep in touch with us on Our Website, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Discord!Please subscribe, rate and review the show on iTunes and AndroidSubscribe on Apple PodcastSubscribe on AndroidNow let’s jump into Episode 6 with Christoff Visscher
