Tracy Hickman Has a Podcast

Author/Gamer Tracy Hickman has a podcast, and episode #2 has a great segment at around the 6:30 mark called "Creative Engine: Marbles and the Structure of Games and Stories". In it, Hickman discusses three ways to hold a handful of marbles.

Huh?

Hickman brilliantly uses holding marbles as an analogy for running an RPG game, and every tabletop gamer, GM or player, should listen to his thoughts on the subject.
