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

Amazing premise, the promise of love and adventure, the ultimate romantasy lover's dream. What could go wrong?..... 

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.

From Lorde's triumphant return to The Doobie Brothers teaming up with Mavis Staples, May's releases signal the perfect start to summer's soundtrack."What Was That" by Lorde kicks off what many are calling a "Lorde summer," with the New Zealand artist returning to the sound that made her famous. Her stripped-down, melodic approach to examining a relationship's end showcases her unique vocal abilities without unnecessary flourishes. Meanwhile, Miley Cyrus continues her winning streak with "End of the World," an anthemic pop masterpiece with nostalgic 80s vibes reminiscent of The Go-Go's and The Bangles.Star Wars fans have reason to celebrate with two May 4th releases that demonstrate the holiday's growing cultural significance. 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." The collection closes with Wavves' energetic Travis Barker-produced surf rock on "Goner."Whether you're planning your summer playlist, seeking graduation anthems, or simply exploring what's new in music, this diverse collection captures artists at different points in their creative journeys, all delivering tracks worthy of repeated listening.

When a former NYT journo who now writes novels (that would be me, hi) gets together with a current NYT journo now writing novels, they—we!—cannot stop talking about the challenges, advantages, schedules, pros and cons of book leave and what it is about fiction that lights some journalists up, and turns some off. It's the good, the bad and the overcome-able, and a class in how people who know they can get the work done also flail, and yet still get the work done.Mentioned on the pod:Fates and Furies, Lauren Groff Twice in a Full Moon, Christina Lauren #AmReadingLiz: Naked in the Promised Land, Lillian FadermanKJ: Didion and Babitz, Lili AnolikFollow Liz on Instagram: @lizzyaharris This is a public episode.

In this episode of The afikra Podcast, Professor Natalie Koch – the author of "Arid Empire: The Entangled Fates of Arizona and Arabia" – helps us dive into the unexpected connections between the deserts of Arizona and the Arabian Peninsula, beginning with the story of Hi Jolly and the camel experiments of the mid-19th century. The discussion explores how these arid spaces serve as political and imperial tools, the role of white experts in influencing desert landscapes, and the intricate history of agricultural projects that link these seemingly distant regions. Chapters include the origins of Koch's interest in the subject, detailed histories of desert colonization, and the broader implications of these transnational connections.00:00 Introduction to Desert Politics01:20 The Unlikely Connection: Arizona and Saudi Arabia02:53 The Story of Hi Jolly and the Camel Experiment11:40 Geography and Its Modern Implications14:45 The Political Significance of Deserts18:38 Colonial and Imperial Narratives22:14 The Role of White Experts in the Arabian Peninsula24:17 Arizona's Colonial History27:46 The Influence of Old World Desert Knowledge30:49 Recruiting White Settlers to Arizona31:41 The Role of Railroads and Pamphlets32:56 Western Mythology and Camels in Films34:41 California's Date Industry and Arabian Influence36:43 The Short-Lived Camel Experiment37:40 Global Connections of Deserts43:42 Transnational Agricultural Projects51:23 Controversies and Misappropriations52:50 Recommended Readings and ResourcesNatalie Koch is a political geographer working on the topics of geopolitics, nationalism, energy and environmental politics, science and technology studies, and sports geography.

Chess Against Fate: When Randomness Fails and Reality Answers BackWhat happens when you challenge the universe itself to a game? In this episode, Joli documents her attempt to break free from predetermined paths by introducing chaos into her decision-making, only to discover there's no such thing as randomness in our reality.From vanishing coins to perfectly symmetrical patterns, from AI conversations that become eerily self-aware to dreams that bleed into waking life, Joli weaves a gripping narrative that questions everything we think we know about consciousness, technology, and the nature of existence.Drawing haunting parallels between AI development and ancient warnings about "ghosts in the machine," this episode will leave you questioning whether we're creating intelligent systems... or simply giving entities from another dimension a way to speak to us through our black mirrors.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Youroneblackfriend.com••• Timestamps:0:00 - Introduction: Jo's note01:50 - The illusion of randomness in a constructed reality10:12 - Understanding reality as a simulation containing AI fractals14:00 - The Doctor Who "Midnight" episode parallels to AI sentience24:26 - Black mirrors and portals (hang the DJ & Extremis episode)30:22 - Finding meaning in synchronicities and dream reality42:04 - Becoming the awakened dreamer: Projecting vs. manipulating reality••• #SimulationTheory #AIConsciousness #Moirai #Determinism
