You see it in the title. I just got home from the inaugural, two person, in-person book club and it was awesome! We discussed Kings of the Wyld, so I want to talk about that a bit. Plus, I got a call from my good friend, BJ of the Arcane Alienist so you know I had to play that! Let's do it! ,
The Arcane Alienist called in to let me know about an optional rule in Mongoose Traveller 2. I respond to that and talk about some alternatives before I go way off the rails and talk about ditching Traveller altogether.The Arcane Alienist podcast: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/arcanealienistShare your thoughts via:
Inspired by a message from BJ Boyd of the Arcane Alienist podcast (https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/arcanealienist), I talk about Metallica and that connection to H.P.

I'm imagining the scene that the title describes and it's making me very happy right now.. A murder of armor clad crows throwing a rad party? Yeah, that rules! Ok, but today we're talking more about ancient civilizations, and I mean a lot more. Taylor, of Clerics Wear Ring Mail, Joe of Raven God Games, Jason of Nerd's RPG Variety Cast, and B.J. of the Arcane Alienist podcast all have some seriously insightful, intelligent, thought-provoking responses to what I and the other callers have been talking about in my two previous episodes. This is a long one, for sure, but I think it's totally worth it. Smart people saying smart things and being interrupted by yours truly. What more could you ask for?
Everything is a pattern. There are no such things as coincidences. Outer space is a lie! Today, we're connecting the dots on the entire vampire-werewolf conspiracy. The Arcane Alienist has his string map out, Jason picks up the thread, and Karl ties it all up in a nice bow. This one is the jam!
Big thanks to BJ (the Arcane Alienist) for his encouragement, aslo DM Rikki, RFED and the Young Fella for making the magic happen. Music was written and performed by Frank Clark and is used with his express permission. Enjoy. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/spikepit/message
