I am not emotionally going to be able to handle our Oct. 15th session. I will let you all discuss on whether it is better to postpone a week and play on the 22nd, or wait two weeks and play on the 29th.

Deepest apologies.

I know the answer to the American one, but can't say because I only know it because I looked it up and I wouldn't have ever guessed it in a million years. I think the Eastern European has already been guessed, but just for chuckles I'm going to guess Bohemia.

Ooooo....good call on Ottoman Empire.

I'm stuck on the 1823 - 1841 one. I'm going to guess Sardinia, but I bet it's wrong because I think Pete has heard of it. My hunch is that it's either a European country that is in present day Italy or German, or that it's something in/around India.

Germany

Russia/USSR

I have this nagging concern that when Trump recovers from his illness, it will be used as an excuse for why debates didn't continue. I am NOT of the camp that believes that Trump's health concerns are part of an overarching lie to downplay COVID. I do think he will say he was well enough to continue...

DMDarcs, does that agree with your understanding of how many rings we have? Yes. I am not sure on the number of amulets. I know that Illian has one, which he has only recently stopped wearing, and am pretty sure Kay has one on her person. A third amulet was placed on the white dragon, but that was ...

I don't remember the terminology, but I do remember seeing something for a 5E product, though I'm not sure if it was official. It divided racial traits into two different groups - genetic(?) and cultural. So you could have a dwarf who would have darkvision and poison resistance from his genetic heri...

I was engaged in a foot heritage with a quickling. I threw a net at him, which slowed him down. I eventually caught up to him, my heart was still heritaging when I got to him.

We tend to get over 350 trick or treaters a year. And I'm fucking buying these kids candy. I will bag them up a week before Halloween. I will do it with masks and gloves on. I will put signs up on my lawn saying what steps have been taken. And I'm giving them more candy than years past. Halloween is...

Subscribed! Listening to episode 1 right now, and I plan on listening to the rest soon. After that, they get added to my backlog.

Writing my scripts out for a podcast. If you have any questions about the following NES games that you'd like to me to answer in the course of the show, add questions here or PM me. I will work any questions that make sense into the conversation. I won't be recording for a bit, but feel free to ask ...

The first hour I'm awake I talk to myself quite a bit to remind me of what I'm supposed to be doing. Occasionally if i'm trying to multitask in a short amount of time.

Good for you, Kyle. I suppose veganism makes a lot of sense for you, with your already noted issues with dairy. I had a friend in college who accidentally became vegan when she became lactose intolerant. She realized that she already wasn't eating that much meat anyway, and we were in an area that c...

In response to all the milage Trump is getting out of the "Biden's America" message: Trump has been president for almost four years. Republicans have control of the Senate. They have over half of Supreme Court justices. They have a majority of federal judges. They control a majority of st...

Console Wars - Blake Harris. This was a fascinating examination of the rise and eventual fall of Sony as a console producer. It's told in a weird, sometimes distracting style of fictionalizing key conversations between key players. But it's extremely well researched and well told. Watching Sony, an...

Fringe, on Amazon. I forgot how much I like Walter, and the opening sequence is just eerie enough to get the right mood of the show. X-Men: The Animated Series, on Disney +. Watching it in the order the scripts were actually supposed to go (check the Wikipedia page) rather than the order it is liste...
