Today On the Dogwatch we cross the Atlantic and head to the Highlands of Scotland in search of the nature of tartan, one of the most long standing and iconic outdoor patterns. Along the way, we meet Miles Kerr-Peterson, a PhD historian who has not only a vast knowledge of British history, clans, castles, but also tartan.We start our conversation with Miles by learning about his research into a buried castle under the driveway at the Keith Marsal estate in Scotland, and broaden this conversation to understand some of the history of Scotland and clans. From there, Miles helps us understand how tartan developed as a fabric, and how the patterns have changed over time. Thankfully, Miles not only understands the history of these fabrics, but works the the St. Kilda company, which has an online tartan designer, and he walks us through how tartans are designed and even helps us how we can design, register, and produce our own tartan fabric. What could be better than a conversation that touches on the Jacobite rebellion, Dunnottar Castle, the Outlander TV series, the movie Hot Fuzz, whiskey from the island of Islay, as well as consideration of plenty of Gordons, MacQueens, MacPhersons, Campbells, Camerons, and Craigs? 

A Scottish Podcast About Scotland!We are finally talking about the hugely popular historical sci fi history tv show Outlander. Season 6 just premiered on Starz in the US and so we decided to see what all the fuss was about. Turns out it's mainly about sexy people in kilts having lots and lots of sexy sex, with some pretty extreme violence dropped in every so often. We are joined by long time podcast and Outlander fans Amanda and Tim who tell us why they love the show and what it means to be an Out-man-der. We discuss the origins of the show and the books, as well as dipping into the sporran for some of the reader's thoughts on Outlander and Sam Heughan's bum. So unlace your corset, pour yourself a glass of Sassenach Whisky and make sure your mum is not around to make things weird, as we talk about Outlander. SláinteCONTACT:Instagram: thistledopodTwitter: @thistledopodFacebook: www.facebook.com/thistledopodEmail: thistledonicelypod@gmail.comwebsite: https://www.thistledonicelypod.com/Google Voicemail: 4844 TDN POD (484 483-6763)SOURCES: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outlander_(TV_series)#Receptionhttps://www.mentalfloss.com/article/78374/15-surprising-facts-about-outlanderhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outlander_(novel)https://www.glamour.com/story/the-outlander-prequel-everything-we-know-about-the-upcoming-starz-serieshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diana_Gabaldon#Early_life_and_educationhttp://www.dianagabaldon.com/books/outlander-series/short-fiction/virgins/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Heughanhttps://www.heraldscotland.com/news/13210521.leaked-sony-emails-show-tv-chiefs-discussing-political-importance-outlander-indyref/

The comical history of Rosin the Bow. My failure as a podcaster. What on Middle-earth is a “smial”? A Doctor Whovian Spotlight on Matt Hughes. Welcome to the Pub Songs Podcast, the Virtual Public House for Celtic Geek culture. I am your Guide. My name is Marc Gunn. Today’s show is brought to you by my Gunn Runners on Patreon. Subscribe to the podcast and download free music when you sign up at PubSong.com. WHO'S PLAYING IN THE PUB TODAY 00:27 - SONG: “Rosin the Bow” from Happy Songs of Death What does “Rosin the Bow” mean? Rosin is a solid form of resin that's obtained from pines and other conifers. ... Used by cellists, violinists, and other string musicians, rosin helps create friction between the bow hair and strings. Essentially, rosin helps the bow grip the strings and produce sound. That’s from The Vault at Music & The Arts. The song was popularized in America in the 19th century. Though it probably had British or Irish origins according to Wikipedia. The most interesting fact was that the music for the song was used by several US presidential campaigns, including for William Henry Harrison ("The Hero of Tippecanoe"),[3] Henry Clay ("Harry, the Honest and True") and Abraham Lincoln ("Lincoln and Liberty"). 3:02 - WELCOME -- Post a review in Apple Podcasts.

Get Celtic Christmas music. -- Browncoat Christmas is now online. Mikey Mason and I released this four song EP of Christmas songs inspired by Joss Whedon’s TV show, Firefly. It’s upbeat and fun. You can download or stream it most everywhere online. -- Short Story of what’s new: My failure as a podcaster. - CD SPONSOR: SCOTTISH SONGS OF DRINKING & REBELLION Hi. I’m Marc Gunn. You may remember me from such kilted bands as the Brobdingnagian Bards, Kilted Kings, and Marc Gunn. Ye know. Me. But perhaps, you don’t know my music. But you may know some fine Scottish Songs of Drinking & Rebellion. That may be a rip off title from a Clancy Brothers album, Irish Songs of Drinking & Rebellion. But the music is pure Scottish fun. You’ll get 17 Scottish songs that will make you want to drink or rise up against England. You’ll hear songs I learned from Ed Miller, The Corries, Widening Gyre (you probably have never heard of that band), and even Outlander… Well, sort of. There are five songs by Robert Burns, including “MacPherson’s Farewell”, “Scots Wha Hae”, “Ye Jacobites by Name”, “A Man’s A Man for A’ That”, and the clean love song version of “Green Grow the Rashes”. There’s the unofficial national anthem of Scotland, “Flower of Scotland”, by The Corries. The “Skye Boat Song” was a fantastic traditional Scottish song even before the lyrics were modified for the Outlander TV show. There’s the great drinking ballad, “Jock Stuart”. And let’s not forget Hugh S. Roberton’s incredible “Mingulay Boat Song” that is given a Louisiana gospel edge. You’ll find it all on Marc Gunn’s Scottish Songs of Drinking & Rebellion. Get it at CelticMusic.org. Now let’s go geek with a song that’s not from that CD... 9:09 - GEEK SONG: “The Smial or the Tree” from Sci Fi Drinking Songs "In a hole in the ground there lived a Hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole and that means comfort." - The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien What on Middle-earth is a “smial”? Well the Tolkien Gateway has the answer. “Smials were the hobbit-holes tunneled into earth mounds and hills. For generations the Hobbits dug into the earth to live. By the later Third Age the poorest Hobbits still went on living in burrows of the most primitive kind with only one window or none. For the most well-to-do hobbits, smials were luxurious versions of those primitive diggings of old. Their tunnels had rounded walls and branched to other rooms. Smials included Bag End and the smials along Bagshot Row of Hobbiton, the Great Smials of Tuckborough and Brandy Hall. The latter two were large enough to have ample room for a hundred Hobbits. When suitable sites for these large and ramifying tunnels were not everywhere to be found, many Hobbits lived in wood, brick or stone houses. This was the case with some muddy regions of the Eastfarthing, such as the Marish. "Smial" is a term used by Tolkien fans to refer to divisions of Tolkien Societies. Read more about it at http://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Smials 11:25 - CELTIC GEEK SPOTLIGHT: Matt Hughes I've seen Matt Hughes' name for about as long as I can remember. He was an integral part of the Brobdingnagian Bards' community early on. Which is where I first found him. He was also one of the first people to cover a song I wrote. So you know that's gonna make me happy. Hehe He also helped me write “Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster” and performed on “Scouring the Shire” and “Bilbo’s Farewell” (he yelled ‘Proudfeet’) on my CD Don’t Go Drinking With Hobbits. When I asked Matt about being a guest in the Celtic Geek Spotlight, he made some silly reference to the Weeping Angels from Doctor Who. That gave me the idea to have Matt answer all of my questions… without blinking. As soon as he does that, we will be forced to move to a different time period with a new question. Welcome Matt, can you tell me what inspires you with music? Why are you still making music today? What do you have planned for the future? Oh and do it all without blinking… MATT RESPONDS Whoa. It’s 2004. Hey my voice sounds younger. What are you doing at this time in your life, Matt? THIS TIME IN LIFE Pirate Accent: Curses, Matthew! That was just getting good. Avast. Suppose it’s time for ye to tell me about your pirate lifestyle. How did you become a pirate? What songs inspired your travel back in time? PIRATE LIFE Thank you Matt Hughes, wherever you are in time. I appreciate you taking the time to chat with me.

Outlander Kitchen: To the New World and Back Again.By Theresa Carle-Sanders Intro: Welcome to the number one cookbook podcast, Cookery by the Book with Suzy Chase. She's just a home cook in New York City, sitting at her dining room table, talking to cookbook authors.Theresa Carle-Sanders: My name is Theresa Carle-Sanders, and my new cookbook is Outlander Kitchen: To the New World and Back Again.Suzy Chase: For more Cookery by the Book, you can follow me on Instagram. If you enjoy this podcast, please be sure to share it with a friend. I'm always looking for new people to enjoy Cookery by the Book. Now, on with the show. So, for listeners unfamiliar with the Outlander and the Lord John Grey series, can you tell us a little bit about it?Theresa Carle-Sanders: So, the Outlander series is about a woman named Claire, and she's a World War Two nurse, who after the war goes to Scotland with her husband, Frank, and while they're visiting some standing stones, she actually disappears through those stones and travels back in time to 18th century Scotland, and that's the Outlander story. The story is of Claire and her exploits with the man she eventually meets, Jamie, of course, a kilted highlander who's always a hero. And the story starts in Scotland, eventually, without spoiling too much for those of you that don't know anything, they eventually end up in France and then they eventually end up in the American colonies. And along the way, they meet a number of great characters, one of them being Lord John Grey. Lord John Grey is the governor of a prison when we first meet him, where Jamie has been interred for the Jacobite Rebellion, and Lord John Grey, although he's tied to the English military, he's a very wealthy man with his own means. And after he's been the governor of the prison, he then goes on in his life to fight in Germany and to govern in Jamaica and his story intertwines with Jamie and Claire's all the time. And so, Lord John Grey books are a series of books that have been taken from the main series and Diana has run with them. So, we see all of Lord John Grey's exploits and adventures when he's not necessarily with Jamie and Claire. And there's lots of good food in those stories and lots of really great fun excerpts that I've decided to include in this book.Suzy Chase: I heard that you have a two stage love affair with Outlander. What does that mean?Theresa Carle-Sanders: When I first discovered Outlander, it was after a bit of turmoil in my life. I'd quit a job that wasn't really suited to me, and so I went into a bookstore and I went looking for an adventure and it was Diana Gabaldon's Outlander that stood out on the shelf to me. So, I grabbed that and I ended up reading it all the way through. It really helped me through that quite traumatic time in my life. It was comforting and there's lots of characters and it's a really great escape novel. And I then went on to the remaining books in the series, there were five at that time, all the way up to The Fiery Cross. There's now eight Outlander books in the main series, and so most of us who are fans, read them over and over and over again. And it was after the first cookbook, I took a little Outlander kitchen break, understandably. It was a lot of Outlander at one time. And then, a couple of years later, I found myself missing some of those characters, and in particular Lord John. And so, I went back and read all of his stories again and that's when I discovered that I hadn't really been paying attention to the food in those novels. And there's so much food and so much travel and adventure, and so many different cuisines, that I really just had to do it.Suzy Chase: So, Outlander has definitely become a catalyst for your life changes. And let's go to 2010, when you were walking in the woods with your dalmation named Pongo, what happened then?Theresa Carle-Sanders: It was almost like a message from the trees. I go on a walk every day, it's a mental health thing for me, clears my head, gets my head straight and my thoughts centered. And out of nowhere, a dish from Voyager, which is the third book in the Outlander series, popped into my head and it was rolls stuffed with pigeon and truffle, which sounds quite exotic. And I was absolutely enamored once that thought was in my head, I had to know what they tasted like. And so, by the time I got home, I'd actually had this whole idea in my head, had blossomed, of a cookbook related to Outlander and wouldn't it be a great idea? And so, the first thing I did after I got home and dried off the dog was to write a letter to Diana's publicist at the time. And surprisingly enough, I got an email back from Diana herself the very next day saying, "What a great idea, a strange idea, but what a great idea, why don't you do it?" And so, I did, I made that first recipe, rolls stuffed with pigeon and truffles and she put it on her blog, and that's really where it all started. The fans really seem to love this extra thing they could do with Outlander, how they could connect with it. And I had a blog for a few years and shared Outlander recipes regularly. And then, the TV show came along and when the TV show came along, they decided that was the time for a cookbook. And so, it all came together from 2010, up to 2013, that's when I started writing the cookbook.Suzy Chase: So, when did you begin recording every mention of food you came across in Diana's stories?Theresa Carle-Sanders: Right after the email I got from her telling me, "What a great idea." So, it was back in 2010, I didn't have a Kindle at that point. So, I went through my paperbacks and read them all, and I have a journal. I now actually read on my Kindle and I highlight as I go, I highlight the food. And then, I take a moment when I'm finished the book to go back and record everything into that same journal, handwritten, so that I do have it on paper somewhere, sometimes things on computers and iPads and things get lost. So, I do like to have a paper component of it, but most of my planning is now done on an Excel spreadsheet. I get to move things around and I think there's over 800 mentions of food in some of the Outlander novels, in the Lord John Grey novels, so you can see there's a lot of foods. So, from there, I have to pick the excerpt that fits the best and gives you the most emotional reaction and is the most visceral excerpt that I can find, that mentions that food. There's bannocks, and there's scones, and there's oatmeal and porridge in Outlander and they're mentioned dozens and dozens of times. So, to find that excerpt is really, I think, what I enjoy sometimes the most of putting the cookbook together is to find the perfect excerpt, so that people really connect with the recipe before they've even started it.Suzy Chase: You started with over 800 notations and then you narrowed it down to 115. I can't even imagine that work. Wow.Theresa Carle-Sanders: That's why I use this. That's why I use a spreadsheet because I can sort it any way I want and I can move things around and it's really easy. And it's actually, that really, that particular part, finding the excerpts and figuring out the table of contents and what the book is going to look like, is really exciting at the beginning. And it really lights the passion that fuels me all the way through until the book is written.Suzy Chase: Outlander kitchen is not a Scottish cookbook nor a historical one, it's an Outlander cookbook. What does that mean?Theresa Carle-Sanders: It means, why I say that, is that if you're not an Outlander fan and you've maybe seen some clips from the show, or you've heard people talking about it, you assume it's a Scottish story and that everybody stays in Scotland, so therefore all the food is going to be Scottish and 18th century. And 18th century Scottish food, I'll be honest with everybody, isn't necessarily translatable to our palates today. So, there's so many other places that they go, the characters go, and foods that they eat, the food in France, as you can imagine, is beautiful. They go down to the Caribbean. There's so many dishes that Diana describes that are new and different, and that are exciting for me to write recipes for. And, then when we get into the American colonies, the food changes so dramatically from what they've had in Europe, that it's really, it's not Scottish food. And I have to say that when the first cookbook came out, I did get mentioned in a few Scottish tabloids screaming that Tortellini Portofino is not a Scottish dish and spaghetti and meatballs are not Scottish and enchiladas are certainly not Scottish. And so, that clarification is just there for people who don't really know the Outlander story.Suzy Chase: In the introduction, Diana Gabaldon talks about the Scottish diaspora. Can you tell us a little bit about that?Theresa Carle-Sanders: Yeah. It's basically the spread of Scottish culture throughout the world. After the Jacobite Rebellion, the second one in the 18th century, many Scots were forced off the land. They were either transported to Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the American colonies, or they immigrated because of financial problems, the land could no longer support them. And so, what you find is that Scottish immigrants into American colonies greatly influenced the beginning of your country, as well as my country up here in Canada. And Diana, in that, is talking about not just the food, but the music, if you think about music and how it's been influenced, dance even, and so many other facets of our culture. The Scots have influenced culture worldwide, greatly, and sometimes aren't necessarily recognized for it by the rest of us.Suzy Chase: I've heard you say that you had lots of requests for vegetarian recipes to be included in this cookbook. Tell us about the Mocktopus.Theresa Carle-Sanders: Oh, the Mocktopus with tomatoes and olives. So, I do get a lot of requests for vegetarian and for dairy-free and gluten-free. And so, I thought I'd have a little bit of fun with some of the recipes this time. There's a squid recipe in the book as well for calamari. And so, I figured we would take some giant king oyster mushrooms and grill them up, they're nice and chewy. They have the same texture as octopus, and it just allows everyone to participate in these stories and this food, it's food from fiction, so it's fun. It should be lighthearted. It doesn't always have to be historically correct. Some recipes in the book are historically correct, others needed a lot of correction to make them tasty for us. So, they're not necessarily true, but I do think they're adapted from history and they keep Outlander in mind all the time, that's what I say, it's an Outlander cookbook. So, I'm always referring back to the text rather than being too concerned about being historically accurate all the time.Suzy Chase: Have fans reached out to you?Theresa Carle-Sanders: They have. It's been a funny time to release a book. We don't have a lot of social media presence going on right now, pushing it, but I've heard from a lot of people that have had the book in their hands for a week or two now, they're really enjoying it. I'm so thrilled that people are enjoying the beauty of the book. Rebecca Wellman from Victoria took the pictures. She's an absolutely gorgeous, talented photographer, and I'm so proud of the book. And so many people have already been sending in photos of what they've been making, which is one of my favorite parts about this, is seeing what people are making and how they get the kids involved in cooking and things like that. And some of the greatest memories I have are cooking alongside my mom and grandma, so that's really special for me.Suzy Chase: I have to say that the kitchen in the Outlander TV series looks absolutely miserable. There were no windows, it was in a basement with open flames. I can't even imagine the heat. It looked like backbreaking work. And bread baking, I learned from the series, took all day.Theresa Carle-Sanders: Yes. Yeah. There's a reason that women didn't have the vote. It was because they were baking bread and washing dishes all the time before we got some modern conveniences, it was a hard, hard job. And I have to say that kitchen in Outlander, the one you see on the TV is actually very grand. It's a massive kitchen compared to what most people in the era would have had. Certainly, I mean, when you're talking about how Scottish women cooked in the Highlands in crofts, which, a croft was their small house. And the Croft had a tiny hole in the roof where the smoke escaped, most of them didn't have windows. Most of them didn't have a table. So, most of the work was done around the fire in the center of the croft with no other light, other than the peat fire. And if you've ever had a peat fire, peat fires give off almost no light. If you can imagine sitting with a bowl on your lap, on a low stool in front of this fire, trying to create dinner from most likely oats, maybe some fish if you were on a river or on the sea, and barley and kale, it was quite a drab diet. And it was quite harsh at times, up in the Highlands, which is again, why we don't always want an accurate 18th century Scottish cookbook. We want an Outlander cookbook.Suzy Chase: That's a good point. So, your editor is a fiction editor, not a cookbook editor.Theresa Carle-Sanders: Anne Speyer at Random House is connected to the editorial team that works with Diana Gabaldon. So, it was the perfect fit from that point of view. This cookbook, I think in the industry, I call it a cookbook and I'm very stubborn. I think many in the food industry would be more prone to call it a souvenir or a piece of merchandise from the series. So, it's not always taken seriously in the food world but that's fine with me. I get lots and lots of feedback from people telling me that Outlander Kitchen is a cookbook they use every day, and that's exactly what I wanted. I didn't want it to be the type of thing that was merchandise that you bought and then it sat on your bookshelf and you never used it. Working back in those days was hard and I think the cookbook honors that, and I think it should be greasy and it should have stains and it should look just like any other cookbook. Working with Anne is really great because she's got so many ideas from the fiction standpoint, and to be honest, it gives me free reign from a cookbook standpoint, I don't get a lot of harsh guidelines or criticism in these cookbooks, which a lot of traditional cookbook authors would be quite envious of, I think.Suzy Chase: I made your recipe for herb roasted salmon on page 169 and asparagus mayonnaise on page 62. Can you describe the recipe for asparagus mayonnaise?Theresa Carle-Sanders: It's really simple, elegant, make-ahead appetizer, that can be plated ahead of time and you can serve it alongside other finger food, or you can also make it as a side dish at a more formal sit down party. So, the first thing to make is the mayonnaise, and I give you instructions for that in the basic recipes at the front of the book. It's a great recipe to have right now when our pantry sometimes are a little bit low and stretched and we can't get out of the house. So, you can make that ahead of time and then you simply steam the asparagus until it's tender and then drop it into an ice bath. And by an ice bath I mean, a bowl of water filled with ice, that when you put the cooking vegetables into it, it stops the cooking immediately. So, that will keep the asparagus bright green and it'll prevent it from going that drab olive green that green vegetables get when they're overcooked.Suzy Chase: Now, can you tell us about the excerpt that you chose for this and why you chose it?Theresa Carle-Sanders: It's a strange excerpt and I think it's one of the ones where sometimes being familiar with the stories and the books helps. The expert is taken from A Fugitive Green, which is a short story that Diana wrote to fill in the cracks of some of the missing information of Outlander. It's how Lord John Grey's brother meets his wife, and it's a really great story. It's fast paced, funny. The Gray family are always full of fun. And this is his to-be wife, has been sent to London by her father to find a husband, much against the character's wishes. And her father has contracted a husband finder, basically. And so, the excerpt is the poor woman's schedule from bath to body groomer, to hairdresser, and then to the supper party. And I chose it because it's humorous because it puts this very independent woman in a very awkward situation. She's angry at her father. She's frustrated by this woman who wants to find her a husband, and in the meanwhile, she's trying to solve a mystery.Suzy Chase: And how does the asparagus come into play?Theresa Carle-Sanders: It's basically part of the scene. She's been chatting with a duke and they've been chatting briefly over asparagus mayonnaise. So, it's a really brief mention of the food, if you see what I mean, but the entire excerpt, when you bring it together, it will make Outlanders smile at the remembrance of the scene.Suzy Chase: What's a body groomer? I don't even want to know.Theresa Carle-Sanders: I have my suspicions. I don't know, particularly in this case, but for example, the Romans had body groomers and they had these scrapers. So, they would scrape the oil down your arms, down your body, and it was something that was done after bathing. I suspect it's something like that. It would hurt. If you can imagine scraping down your skin and hard enough to extract the oils from your skin, that's what's going on.Suzy Chase: Okay. So, now for my segment called My Favorite Cookbook. What is your all-time favorite cookbook and why?Theresa Carle-Sanders: I think I'm going to have to go with Julia Child’s Collection. It's one that a lot of cooks my age always reference. And it's important because my dad and I watched a lot of Julia Child on PBS when I was a child. And so, it brings back fond memories for me, it was my dad and I who really had a connection as I got older, with good food and food in restaurants, he loved to dine out, and he loved to watch Julia Child and Jacques Pepin. Jacques Pepin, I'm a huge fan of him as well. And it's from my childhood, I find them comforting. I can sit down with a glass of wine and flip through a Julia Child's book and discover what's for dinner. I never, ever, ever follow her recipes to the T though, I'll admit it right now. She uses too many pots and pans.Suzy Chase: Okay. So, do you want to give us a little hint, a teeny, tiny clue about your next cookbook?Theresa Carle-Sanders: I'm dying to tell everybody what I've been working on. It's a big, exciting project. I can't quite say it out loud just because we haven't signed the papers yet, but if those of you who are interested want to go to my Goodreads page, if you look at the books I've been reading for the last year and a half, you'll probably figure it out quite quickly, and that's all I'm going to say.Suzy Chase: Ooh, the intrigue. So, where can we find you on the web and social media?Theresa Carle-Sanders: You can find me at OutlanderKitchen.com and then I'm also on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. And you can certainly do a search for Outlander Kitchen, you'll find me there. Also by my name, Theresa Carle-Sanders.Suzy Chase: Great.

Holmes, and how the story of the “Beast of Chicago" and his “Murder Castle” feels more like fiction rather real life. They talk about the timeline of his crimes, why these crimes happened, his nine confirmed victims, and the theory that he’s also Jack the Ripper.

### Yehuda Halfon (2:00) How can you describe creatures in such a way, that the party understands they shouldn't attack everyone all the time? Where's the line between hinting, and putting out the neon sign? Venture Captain of the [Pathfinder Society](http://paizo.com/pathfinderSociety). Find them in Israel, [here](https://www.facebook.com/groups/PFSisrael/). ### Type of game (3:40 ) The type of game that we're playing determines our outlook on danger in general. In a sandbox game - the players know there are unproportional encounters. In a plot-driven game there usually isn't an element of fear for the lives of the PCs. [Apocalypse World](http://apocalypse-world.com/) [Monsterhearts](https://buriedwithoutceremony.com/monsterhearts) The game you're playing comes with some assumptions, which will be shared by the people who play it. If you're planning on deviating from these assumptions - talk with the other players. In D&D, combat is the expected way to solve most conflicts; if the GM wants to go in a different route she should use some priming tools to explain that non-combat solutions are to be expected. ### Mechanics matter (7:05) [Adventures in Middle Earth](http://cubicle7.co.uk/our-games/adventures-in-middle-earth/) [Tomb of Annihilation](http://dnd.wizards.com/products/tabletop-games/rpg-products/tomb-annihilation) ### Using mechanics (9:40) Prompt for a knowledge roll. Use this to provide the party with clues that makes it clear that the enemies are too dangerous. Knowledge that was gained using effort is more valuable than knowledge just told to you by the GM. You'll take it more seriously. Article: [Character Choices Control the Clues](http://www.uptofourplayers.com/2017/05/character-choices-control-clues-weekly-podcast/) ### The power of names and the unexpected (14:15) Give the NPC a name - make them important, force the party to reconsider the default assumption of "attack!"". Someone who has a name can be talked with. They might be useful, maybe they have a place in the story. There's something going on here, and that thing that doesn't have to be combat. Whatever gives expereince points is the thing that the players will try to achieve; don't give XP for defeating enemies. Make it clear that things aren't always as they seem. Have a kobold with 15 levels of fighter - after this fight, they'll know this world can have dangerous kobolds. [Willy Wonka's entrance](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sz9jc5blzRM). ### Repercussions (20:30) Make them think of the repercussions: Attacking the guards will have them unwanted in town. A fight that damages them in a way that isn't hit points - reputation, disease, make the wrong people angry. A quick way to make people more important: show that they're connected to a bigger organisation. (You just need to have an organisation ready) They must be vulnerable to something, even if they're already not afraid for their lives. [Outlander](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outlander_(TV_series)). ### Repeating signs of danger (23:25) Reuse them in descriptions. If the players fear devils, use devil-like details when describing other things you want them to avoid. ### What to do if the party did attack? (24:20) Defeat is worse than death. “Drain their levels, take their loot” - not as punishment, but as a deterent. In an after session discussion (ASD), ask them why they attacked, and try to understand their motivations. ### The Neon Sign (25:25) Don't be afraid to use big flashing neon signs saying: “Do Not Attack!”. It's possible that you haven't synced the imagniery world! Death shouldn't come as a surprise. Article: [Keeping it Unreal](http://www.uptofourplayers.com/2018/01/keeping-it-unreal/), about keeping the imaginary world synced. If this is a repeating issue, make it a prerequisite of an adventure. The evil necromancer is very crafty, whenever a fight st

Diana Gabaldon is the author of the award-winning, #1 NYT-bestselling OUTLANDER novels.  Diana has written eight books in the series, with more than twenty-six million copies in print worldwide.  The series is published in 26 countries and 23 languages, and includes a nonfiction (well, relatively) companion volume, THE OUTLANDISH COMPANION, which provides details on the settings, background, characters, research, and writing of the first novels in the series. Gabaldon has also written several books in a sub-series featuring Lord John Grey (a major minor character from the main series): LORD JOHN AND THE PRIVATE MATTER,  LORD JOHN AND THE BROTHERHOOD OF THE BLADE, LORD JOHN AND THE HAND OF DEVILS, and LORD JOHN AND THE SCOTTISH PRISONER. Returning to her comic-book roots, she has also written a graphic novel titled THE EXILE (set within the OUTLANDER universe and featuring the main characters from OUTLANDER), but told from the viewpoint of Jamie Fraser and his godfather, Murtagh. Diana’s current writing projects include the ninth major novel in the OUTLANDER series, as yet untitled, and a second volume of THE OUTLANDISH COMPANION. She is also serving as a Co-Producer and advisor for the Outlander TV series produced by the Starz network and Tall Ship Productions, which is based on her novels. In this episode, Diana discusses: -The story behind "Outlander." -How she had known that she wanted to be a novelist since she was eight. -How she was comfortable writing because of writing scholarly articles, grant proposals, and scientific papers, but needed to learn the details of how to write a novel. -How Outlander was really a practice novel for her. -How a Dr. Who re-run inspired the thought of a man in a kilt, and that is where she began Outlander. -How starting to write immediately was important to her, so that she wouldn't get caught up in doing endless research. -How characters come under three classifications: mushrooms, onions, and hard nuts. -The most important question to answer is what does your character want?  Because this is what shapes the story (what is stopping them from getting what they want?) -How the only cure for "cold days" or writer's block is to just write anyway. -How she uses a "kernel" (a line of dialogue, a concrete object, an emotional ambiance, or anything else concrete) and she writes around that kernel to start telling the story or the scene. Diana's Final Push will inspire you to set aside some time every single day. Quotes: "I just wanted to write a book in order to learn how." "I said to myself, "I'm going to write a novel for practice.  I'm not going to show it to anyone.  I'm not telling anyone what I'm doing.   It's just for me to learn how." "The important thing is to pick a point and get started.  It doesn't really matter where you start." "I fought with her for several pages, trying to beat her into shape and make her talk like an 18th century woman but she wasn't having any of this.  She kept making smart-ass modern remarks and she also took over and started telling the story herself." "You need to know who your character is." "I don't plan books ahead of time.  I don't work with an outline.  I don't work in a straight line.  I work in little pieces where I can see things happening." "The secret to success in writing is to understand how your own brain works and work with it rather than against it." "You just need to get words on paper and eventually the words will become alive again and start flowing for you." "You cannot write anything any way but one word at a time." "Don't let yourself be stopped by lack of time." Connect with Diana: Website / Facebook / Outlander
