Patrick Rothfuss

The premise is simple:  what happens when the stars of the anarchic Cartoon Network hit Rick and Morty dive head-on into the world of hit points, armor classes, saving throws, and spell slots?  But here's what isn't simple: the fictional wizardry of award-winning fantasist Patrick Rothfuss. The author of the bestselling Kingkiller Chronicle novels, Rothfuss took on the task of bringing these two beloved universes together with an ambition that can only be described as epic.  He spoke via phone with B&N Science Fiction and Fantasy Blog editor Joel Cunningham about Rick and Morty vs. Dungeons and Dragons — as well as his enduring love for D&D, and how he sold his comics collaborators on pages in iambic pentameter.
