In this episode, we unravel the mysterious power of The Moirai (Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos) the goddesses of fate in Greek mythology. Were even the gods, including Zeus himself, bound by the threads they spun?We explore ancient sources, myths, and beliefs surrounding destiny, divine will, and cosmic order, with a deep dive into Zeus's role: Was he the father of the Fates or subject to themWe are then diving into how we met, how Styx and Bones started and do we believe it was all fate ourselves?Chapters:(0:00) – Intro, Offerings to the Gods & Huge Temple Sale(5:18) – Reactions to Epic, Hades the God of Wealth?

Nestled on the northern Sword Coast, between Neverwinter Wood and the Sword Mountains, is the town of Phandalin. Centuries ago, Phandalin was a thriving settlement with deep ties to its neighboring communities. But then bandits overran the town, and Phandalin lay abandoned for centuries.Only in the past few years have settlers built a new village on the ruins of the old. These townsfolk hope to grow Phandalin through hard work, camaraderie, and the shared purpose of building a lasting home. Threatening their efforts and their survival are bandits, brigands, and monsters.We are playing the new rules of Dnd 2024

The primary focus of this podcast episode revolves around an in-depth examination of the screenplay for "Star Wars: Duel of the Fates," which was conceived as the original narrative for Episode 9 before the advent of "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker." Through this discourse, Joshua Noel and TJ Blackwell endeavor to elucidate the thematic resonance and narrative structure of this unproduced screenplay, which is readily accessible online. The discussion aims not only to critique the screenplay itself but also to underscore the significance of literary engagement in all its forms, aligning with our overarching mission in the "All Reading Counts" series. This initiative seeks to promote literacy while concurrently raising funds to support local libraries, thereby fostering a culture of reading within our communities.

The speakers meticulously dissect the screenplay, juxtaposing its thematic and narrative elements against the eventual release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. They illuminate the profound implications of the script—particularly its character arcs, plot intricacies, and the resonant motifs that reflect on the nature of heroism and villainy.

The Fates of Classical Antiquity not only survived in the form of related fairy-tale figures but also as the object of superstitions and rituals associated with newborns. In South Slavic and Balkan regions particularly, these customs represent a surprisingly long-lived and genuine case of pagan survival. We begin our episode examining the fairy godmothers of "Sleeping Beauty" as embodiments of the Fates. Mrs. Karswell reads a few key passages from the definitive version of the story included in Charles Perrault's 1697 collection, Histoires ou contes du temps passé ("stories of times gone by.") We learn how the fairies fulfill the historical role of godparents at the newborn's christening. We also note the peculiar emphasis on the quality of what's set before the fairies at the christening banquet, observing how a failure there leads the wicked fairy to curse the Sleeping Beauty. 1874 illustration by František Doucha for a Czech edition of Sleeping Beauty We then explore antecedents to Perrault's tale, beginning with the 14th-century French chivalric romance, Perceforest. A peripheral story in this 8-volume work is that of Troylus and Zeelandine, in which the role of Sleeping Beauty's fairy godmothers are played by Greek and Roman deities, with Venus as supporter of Princess Zeelandine (and her suitor Troylus) and Themis cursing Zeelandine to sleep in a manner similar to Perrault's princess. A failure to correctly lay out Themis' required items at the christening banquet is again again responsible for the curse, though the awakening of Zeelandine by Troylus awakens is surprisingly different and a notorious example of medieval bawdiness. Preceding Perceforest, there was the late 13th-century French historical romance Huon of Bordeaux, in which we hear of the newborn fairy king Oberon being both cursed and blessed by fairies attending his birth. From around the same time, French poet and composer Adam de la Halle's Play of the Bower describes a banquet at which fairy guests pronounce a curses and blessings on those in attendance prompted again by their pleasure or displeasure at what's set before them at a banquet. We also hear of the Danish King King Fridlevus (Fridlef II) bringing his newborn son to a temple of "three maidens" to ascertain the destiny pf the child in Gesta Danorum ("Deeds of the Danes").written around 1200 by Saxo Grammaticus. And lest listeners think such appeals to the Fates were strictly a literary motif, we hear Burchard of Worms, in his early-11th-century Decretum, condemning the not uncommon among the Germans of his region of setting up offering tables for the Fates. By this point, the connection between how fairy godmother types are served at a banquet and offerings made to the Fates to ensure a cild's fortune should be clear. We then turn back to the Greek Fates, the Moirai (Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos) and the Roman Parcae (Nona, Decuma, and Morta). Particularly in the case of the Parcae, we hear examples of their connection to the newborn's destiny in the celebration nine or ten days after the birth of the dies lustricus, during which offerings were made to the Fates. The Three Fates by Bernardo Strozzi, late 17th c We make a brief side-trip to discuss the Norns (Urðr, Verðandi and Skuld), the Germanic equivalent of the Fates. These are more distant cousins, not strongly associated with the newborn and his destiny, though we do hear a passage from the Poetic Edda, in which the Norns are present birth of the hero Helgi. We also hear a gruesome passage from the 13th-century Njáls Saga, in which the Valkyries weave out the fate of those who will die in the Battle of Clontarf. The Anglo-Saxon equivalent of the Fates, the Wyrds, are also discussed, and we hear how the witches in Macbeth partook in this identity as the "Weird Sisters," an association Shakespeare inherited from his source material, the 1587 history of Great Britain, known as Holinshed's Chronicles.

Episode 174:Ben Jonson's erliest play. Here we have the bricklayer's son trying to make his way in the theatre and with the court. Until James came to the throne, he was pretty unsuccessful in the latter and as far as we can tell more of less from the off his life writing for the public theatre was controversial. I recounted the events surrounding Johnson and Nashe's play ‘The Isle of Dogs' as part of Jonson's life story and ‘The Case Is Altered' probably pre-dates those events. What we can be sure of is that by 1597, the most likely date for ‘The Case Is Altered' Jonson was working for Pembroke's Men and that they probably performed the play in May or June that year.The complications of the printing history of the playThe origins of the titleJonson borrows from Plautus to create a romantic comedyThe satire of Anthony MundayA brief summary of both strands of the plotThe structural issues with the play and purely comic scenesThe theory of the HumorsThe character of Count FernezeThe character of Jacques the miserThe concealment of the goldThe slight characters of the three female rolesSupport the podcast at:www.thehistoryofeuropeantheatre.comwww.patreon.com/thoetpwww.ko-fi.com/thoetp Hosted on Acast.

Now, if you've been anywhere near me in the last six months, I will have no doubt absolutely insisted that you must read Lucy's stunning novel, The Artist. I'm so in love with this book, its one of my top reads of the year and I really want you to pick it up too.It was such a joy to chat to Lucy about the Artist, her inspiration and get some fascinating insight into her writing process as well as hearing about her Women's Prize experience.Of course as always, we also discussed the five books that have shaped Lucy's life and what an interesting list it was. I was absolutely convinced she wouldn't be able to tempt me on the poetry of John Donne but I'm weirdly quite tempted.A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony SnicketA Room With A View by E.M.

But then bandits overran the town, and Phandalin lay abandoned for centuries.Only in the past few years have settlers built a new village on the ruins of the old. These townsfolk hope to grow Phandalin through hard work, camaraderie, and the shared purpose of building a lasting home.

In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, the hosts gather for a postmortem discussion on Ash Ely's recent Planescape campaign—a wild ride through the Outer Planes where philosophy hits like a fireball and bureaucracy is deadlier than any dragon. With plenty of laughs and genuine reflection, the crew discusses their favorite moments, mechanical experiments, player decisions, and the challenges of storytelling in a setting where time is subjective, death is optional, and your base of operations might just be a sentient castle. This is a deep-dive into what makes a great campaign weirdly wonderful, packed with practical advice for GMs and players alike.

The use of audio files and soundboards added flavor to the podcast experience, paralleling the dynamic creativity of the campaign itself. Planescape Setting Insights: Sigil proved to be a difficult but rewarding setting, demanding intense creativity from the GM and strong player investment. The Bleak Cabal introduced complex moral and philosophical themes around nihilism and existentialism. Harmonium conflicts introduced tension and clear stakes, adding urgency to the narrative. Excelsior and Mindenheim presented contrasting moral dilemmas, emphasizing how planar alignments influence gameplay. Gameplay Mechanics: The game included unique mechanics such as reincarnation, highlighting Planescape's flair for the metaphysical. Gambling mechanics introduced at Fortune's Wheel made the campaign feel alive and added extra stakes. Random tables were used to enhance chaos, though they occasionally clashed with narrative flow. Time in the Outlands was deliberately nebulous—used as a story device rather than a linear tracker. Character & Roleplay: Ash Ely discussed character arcs, spotlighting the emotional growth and backstory payoffs that came through during play. Character death and rebirth were treated as storytelling tools, not just fail states. The castle base of operations became a central hub for player bonding and improvised roleplay. Downtime activities, such as research or dealing with extraplanar paperwork, added depth and fun. Player Agency & Story Design: Player choices mattered deeply, often shifting the trajectory of the campaign. Side quests organically evolved into major plotlines, highlighting the value of listening to player interests. Fetch quests and bureaucratic challenges became unexpectedly entertaining when paired with strong character voices. Homebrew content enriched the setting, especially when integrated into existing multiversal lore. Lessons & Reflections: Player engagement and feedback were vital in navigating the weirdness of Planescape. The group shared regrets and lessons learned, emphasizing the importance of flexibility and communication. The campaign reinforced that creativity and player trust are the heart of any great tabletop experience. Final Thoughts: Whether you're a veteran GM diving into planar politics or a curious player who wants to gamble with the Fates (literally), this episode offers a treasure trove of inspiration. The Planescape campaign may be over, but its echoes will bounce around the multiverse—and the RPGBOT cast's brains—for a long time to come.

Labyrinth's "SWMF" and Apache's remix of John Williams' iconic "Duel of the Fates" showcase how orchestral elements can blend seamlessly with electronic production – bridging centuries of musical evolution in single tracks.The mix continues with The Jonas Brothers' "Love Me to Heaven" and Turnpike Troubadours' introspective "Heaven Passing Through," which reminds us to treasure life's fleeting moments. Amine brings summer vibes with "Vacay," while legendary artists The Doobie Brothers prove they've still got it alongside Mavis Staples on "Walk This Road."For alternative music fans, The Minus Five delivers "happy rock" with "Words and Birds," Turnstile bends genres on "Never Enough," and King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard experiments with orchestral sounds on "Phantom."
