Today’s Hook: An amateur wizard experimenting with planar travel in his house inadvertently damages the boundaries between planes, causing various other planes to begin intruding into our own. (Craig A. Butler). Talk about having boundary issues… This episode, the Adventure Hook guys take a number of different approaches when brainstorming up various explorations for this classic conundrum of the fantasy world… that is, pesky invading entities from other dimensions! But… who is truly invading who? From the City of Sigil, the 16 Gate Towns of the Outlands, and the weirdest spot in the Astral Plane imaginable, to the Rivers of the Dead, the Mists of Ravenloft, and (naturally) all the way to the Miskatonic Valley of Massachusetts… there is no realm in all the multiverse immune to the visitations of your co-hosts’ imaginations! Rob looks to Golemoro’s Mansion and the Cult of the Machine God from his Blackspire homebrew setting to draw inspiration for a “Macrocosm Manor”… a home whose attic may stretch into Heaven, but whose basement may lead all the way to Hell… and denizens of both places may find themselves in other rooms where they surely do not belong... And later he imagines a Planescape version of the Homo Signorum for the Dungeons and Dragons universe, and the whats (and whos) of its “true” composition might just make all the whys in your mind shatter to bits like so many false idols… Meanwhile Aaron puts his own powerful faith into various products of the Elder Gods of the Cthulhu Mythos(which spreads like a pandemic throughout the show), and ultimately results in him leaning heavily into possibly his most pervasive pop culture reference to date! And no… it’s not Star Trek (though there’s that too), for this time his inspiration is something even more mind-boggling… possibly one of the schlockiest B-movie horror films ever made… But you’ll just have to listen for yourself to get to the good stuff..! Plus… the guys give an insightful dissertation on their conceptualizations of the Secret Math, and Rob lets slip a major secret of the Blackspire world..! Banter Topic: to kick this show off, the Adventure Hook guys first have lots to share concerning Vampire the Masquerade, not the least of which are the two of them reminiscing about their college days spent playing games set in a World of Darkness version of the city of Baltimore. Aaron talks about his new #vtm cover work before sharing his game-changing advice for online gaming to help Rob prepare for some upcoming sessions he plans to run for Blackspire. They also discuss how gaming in the age of Coronavirus totally doesn’t have to be limited to just RPGs, and they float a few other options you may wish to consider, including a game that Rob’s wife Jenny recently invented that you can easily play with your other quarantined friends (totally free) called Mixtape ©! And while it turns out that sometimes it’s just better to actually socialize with your gaming buddies rather than just play a game together, this episode Adventure Hook still attempts to bridge the gap of social distance by teasing a new opportunity that’s being offering solely to Patreon supporters… a chance to game online together with the Adventure Hook guys!
