Archives: TPD 306 – Easter Eggs & World Building

Thunder Punch Daily

While making The Inscrutable Doctor Baer and the Case of the Two-Faced Statue I recorded a bunch of reflections on why and how I was making the book. These microcasts were shared exclusively with people who supported me on Patreon (I’m sharing the entire process of making the next Doctor Baer story there right now!).

To count down to the book’s release, I’m putting some of those reflections into the Thunder Punch Daily feed. Please note: the book was titled Baron von Bear and the Case of the Two-Faced Statue at the time of this recording. But baronvonbear.com does take you to the book’s landing page. Here’s the original post:

I’m answering another prompt from the Thoughts/Questions/Wonderings form:

Having a collection of cursed items in your book is rife for pop culture references. What’s the cultural reference you’re most excited about, but are afraid people won’t get?

This one kind of goes in a lot of directions, but my hope is that it provides context to why BvB doesn’t have many easter eggs.
