With a new campaign about to begin we felt it was best to go over some game rules, introduce the characters, and set the scene for Rime of the Frostmaiden.
The post From The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge appeared first on A Mouthful of Air.
In this episode Greggy welcomes Ryan from Indiana to the podcast to talk about his Rime of the Frostmaiden campaign and the Talespire VTT.Links to things we talked about: https://store.steampowered.com/app/720620/TaleSpire/https://talestavern.com/Yes! Michigan! with Mitch and with Greggy
Oh Finger, what can I say about you? Not much really. You seemed like a good guy, and I'm sorry you had to go the way you did. Perhaps this is what Bastion needs to push himself forward. I guess we shall soon find out, eh? Mad Hedman, let's play a song in remembrance of a real one.Sound Effects courtesy of Zapsplat.
The October 28 edition of the AgNet News Hour tackled the global marketplace head-on, as hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill examined how trade policy, retail pricing, and foreign imports continue to shape the future of California farming. From beef and blueberries to almonds and freight logistics, the hour underscored that California's agriculture industry is both resilient and under siege. The program opened with updates on the Argentine beef dispute. The hosts replayed comments from Ethan Lane of the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, who discussed concerns that Argentine imports could drive down U.S. cattle prices just as producers begin recovering from pandemic-era losses. Lane emphasized that while the Trump administration's beef stabilization plan offers promise—focusing on herd rebuilding, processing expansion, and grazing access—import balance is crucial. “We can't afford to flood the market with foreign beef while our ranchers are still healing,” he said. Later in the show, Papagni caught up with Issa Kanda of FMC at the CAPCA Conference in Reno. Kanda described 2025 as “challenging but optimistic,” noting stable prices for walnuts and almonds, and a record pistachio crop. He highlighted FMC's portfolio of pest control tools for permanent crops, including Rime fungicide, which has shown 99% control of the new Red Leaf Blotch disease in almonds. “We can't let our guard down,” Kanda said. “Timing, scouting, and precision applications are everything.” At the FIRA USA Ag Automation Show in Woodland, the focus turned to innovation and labor challenges. Cameron Allison of Wild Goose Farms, a major blueberry grower from Florida, said he attended to explore automation that could offset rising labor costs. “Blueberries are still handpicked in most of the country,” Allison said. “We're racing to develop machines that can pick ripe fruit and leave the green ones. It's the next frontier.” He added that competition from Mexico and Peru continues to undercut U.S. growers, and urged stronger lobbying and retail accountability to keep domestic fruit viable. Papagni and McGill followed up with a passionate discussion on the role of retailers in the crisis. “You can't expect California farmers to compete with countries where water, labor, and safety standards are nowhere near ours,” McGill said. Papagni added that it's time for grocery chains to support domestic producers through fair pricing and seasonal sourcing campaigns. “If you can charge a premium for local or organic, you can do the same for California-grown,” he said. The hosts agreed that while foreign trade can fill seasonal gaps, the system is unbalanced. “We can't keep importing cheaper fruit and meat year-round and expect our own farmers to survive,” Papagni said. “It's not about protectionism — it's about fairness.”

Okay, I did NOT see that coming. Finger becoming a vampire? Or at least I assume he's a vampire if he's sucking on rats. He could just really have a thing for rat blood. It's good that Bastion was the one to find him though, no? As a person without blood he's pretty much the most qualified to handle such a creature. What do you think, Max Hedman? Spooky, right?Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.
Talk about a deus ex machina (am I using that correctly?) there at the end. Though I guess our heroes could have mopped up the remainder of the Reghed nomads. At least now we have more Tall Tree! This party is getting pretty big! I hope this doesn't mean combat will take longer though. What say you, Max Hedman?Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.
Arianna Di Pietro"Mamma ti volo bene"Ape Juniorwww.apejunior.it"Per nove mesi ho guidato fiera una magnifica mongolfiera. Nel cielo del mondo volava sospinta da un soffio profondo: la mia fiamma amore di mamma". Cinquanta rime per raccontare la maternità con uno sguardo unico e sempre curioso. Rime che parlano di una donna che resta fedele a sé stessa, che non smette di cercare, di imparare, di guardare il mondo con gli occhi di bambina. Perché i figli, presto o tardi, prendono il volo, ma anche le loro mamme possono imparare a volare. Non per perdersi, ma per ritrovarsi più ricche, più sagge e al tempo stesso più leggere. Una raccolta da sfogliare e risfogliare, condividere, leggere ad alta voce e portare per sempre nel cuore. Età di lettura: da 6 anni.Arianna Di Pietro, madrelingua di “filastrocchese” fin da piccola, nasce a Roma nel 1985. Nel 2010, consegue la laurea specialistica in Lettere e Filosofia presso l'università La Sapienza di Roma e, in seguito, un master in glottodidattica per l'insegnamento dell'italiano per stranieri presso l'università per stranieri di Siena. Parallelamente, si diploma in “Drammaturgia, recitazione e messa in scena” presso l'Accademia Teatrale dell'Orologio, dove inizia un percorso autoriale che la porta a riadattare per il teatro grandi classici della letteratura come “Le mille e una notte”, “I racconti di Edgar Allan Poe” e “Macbeth” per bambini. Tra il teatro e l'insegnamento, non trascura la sua passione per la mitologia, nata sui banchi del liceo classico, finché, nel 2020, pubblica in self-publishing “Storie in rima dei Supereroi di prima”, la sua prima raccolta di filastrocche sui miti greci per bambini. “Tocco il cielo con un mito” è la sua prima opera edita.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/
Recorded Tuesday, 23rd of September 2025. Ben Jonson's claim that "Greek was free from Rime's Infection" has echoed for centuries, although rejected by some. Leon Wash (Classics) revisits the debate, sharing striking evidence of rhyme in ancient Greek, including a poem about beer among the Celts. Learn more at www.tcd.ie/trinitylongroomhub

Okay so like I'm not the only one mad about those kobolds, right? Like I feel like that was just unfair. Personally. Where did these three come from, anyway? I mean I guess the mine. But still. Bastion wasn't even there for those quests! Why was he punished?? Max Hedman, can you make it make sense to me?Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.
À rattraper ce 3 octobre 2025: Assis ou debout Marc Denis sur l’avenir de Floriant La bière de Vlad
So Auril is the absolute worst, we can all agree on that. Gods she makes me so angry. Why does she even want the Dale? No one wants to worship her here. Go somewhere else! There are plenty of people who will worship you…just not here! Max Hedman this makes me so mad. I really could just explode.Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat
What a blow! Finally! Good news for ONCE!! Gods I am so excited I could just scream. Without her Roc, Auril can't make the rime, right?? This is monumental. Max Hedman, break out the brandy! We're celebrating tonight!Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.
Oh boy… this is the moment we have been waiting for folks. Auril is front and center and ready to fight. I wish our heroes had gotten more of a rest, but it is what it is at this point. I have faith that they will pull through! They've beaten everything thrown at them so far…well majority of them have at least. What do you think, Max Hedman? Want to place bets?Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.
Aujourd'hui, Abel Boyi, éducateur et président de l'association "Tous Uniques Tous Unis", Barbara Lefebvre, professeure d'histoire-géographie, et Emmanuel de Villiers, chef d'entreprise, débattent de l'actualité autour d'Alain Marschall et Olivier Truchot.
Et si on repensait complètement notre manière de soigner ?Et si être kiné aujourd'hui, c'était aussi créer des ponts entre les disciplines, les cultures… et les sensibilités ?Découvrez le parcours de Kim Garros ,une kiné pas comme les autres : professionnelle engagée, curieuse, bilingue – mais aussi passionnée de danse, d'art, de pédagogie.Kinésithérapeute spécialisée en musculo-squelettique et sport, formée en MDT et en kiné du sport, elle soigne aussi bien des circassiens que des chefs d'entreprise, toujours avec cette idée en tête : s'adapter, écouter, transmettre.En 2024, elle pense L'Atipik, un espace à son image, qui incarne sa vision du soin : audacieuse, décloisonnée, profondément humaine.Dans cet épisode, on va parler de mouvement, bien sûr. Maisaussi d'entrepreneuriat, d'intuition, de choix d'espace et de posture thérapeutique.On va explorer ce que ça veut dire aujourd'hui “soigner avec sens” — et surtout : “soigner autrement”.Belle écoute à tous !
These tests are so brutal. I get that Auril is an evil goddess, but come on! Also these all seem very dependent on time frame. What happens if someone comes here in a week? Do they repeat these same tests? Probably not I would imagine. But then what are the tests?? It's all so confusing. Right, Max Hedman?Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Testo e significato del componimento Il comune rustico di Giosuè Carducci, contenuto nel Libro VI delle Rime nuove. Figure retoriche e parafrasi della poesia scritta nel 1885.
I…I don't know what to say. These tests were bad. Auril is not a good goddess. If our heroes weren't heroes I'd be fine with everything. But they are. And those tests were ostensibly non-heroic. It's just a lot to take in I think. Max Hedman, let's go somewhere to contemplate everything.Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.
Ukuma seems like such a kind soul, I hope our heroes don't have to fight her at any point. Also what are these tests? They're a little concerning, truth be told. Anything that is titled after a god frightens me. Right, Max Hedman?Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.
Now it is finally time to enter the domain of Auril. What will our heroes find in Grimskalle? Nothing good, I can assure you. One can only hope they find what they are looking for! Right, Max Hedman?Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.
Su duemila partecipanti, 204 ragazzi e ragazze dall'Anno 9 al 12 sono arrivati alle finali della competizione organizzata dalla Dante Alighieri Society di Melbourne.
What a harrowing fight! Our heroes truly are lucky, I'm not sure there are many who could have survived that altercation. Yet survive they did! And they will continue to survive as they go on to face the Frost Maiden herself…hopefully. I'll be honest, Max Hedman, I'm getting nervous. I hope our party can do it. Can you play me something to help ease my nerves?Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.
This week it's games the guys got to run. It involved a Keshanar module that didn't go as expected and a 12 hour run of Rime of the Frostmaiden. Also Tabletop Simulator Shadowdark.

Water, water everywhere, nor any drop to drink. The line from “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” is true not only on Earth, but across the solar system. Water is everywhere. But it’s not in a form you could drink. It’s in the clouds of the giant outer planets, frozen in the surfaces and ice caps of planets and moons, or buried far below their surfaces. One example is Pluto. The dwarf planet is billions of miles from the Sun, so its surface is frozen. But there’s evidence that liquid water lurks far below. In fact, there could be a global ocean up to a hundred miles deep. One bit of evidence is a feature called Sputnik Planitia – a fairly smooth plain about 600 miles across. It’s almost pure white. And there are no impact craters, suggesting that the surface is young. Among its features are floating blocks of frozen gases. They resemble slabs of ice in the polar regions of Earth. That suggests they could be floating atop liquid water. Plumes of water flow upward, freezing and pushing older ice outward. In fact, the feature might have formed when a big asteroid slammed into Pluto. It vaporized the surface, exposing the ocean below. The water quickly froze, forming the plain we see today. Pluto lines up opposite the Sun this week. It’s in view all night, and shines brightest for the whole year. Script by Damond Benningfield
Well those negotiations went well, I think. Time to go to the Sea of Moving Ice! Hopefully that will be easy. Just have to get that Codicil of White. Easy peasy. I'm not worried. You're not worried either, right Max Hedman??Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.
Dante Alighieri (1265 - 1321)Le Rime sono una raccolta messa insieme e ordinata da moderni editori, che riunisce il complesso della produzione lirica dantesca dalle prove giovanili a quelle dell'età matura. Le rime giovanili comprendono componimenti che riflettono le varie tendenze della lirica cortese del tempo, quella guittoniana, quella guinizzelliana e quella cavalcantiana. Tra questo gruppo di testi Dante aveva scelto quelli che dovevano entrare a far parte della Vita Nova. (Summary by Wikipedia)N.B. Questa edizione (dell'Ottocento) contiene alcune poesie che gli studiosi non attribuiscono più a Dante, come per esempio la ballata "Fresca rosa novella" di Calvalcanti. Le includiamo comunque per mantenere l'integrità del volume.Genre(s): Single author, LyricLanguage: Italian
So it looks like shit is about to go down. Which is…troubling to say the least. Well hey, at least Bastion got in a good punch of Stonefist. That guys pisses me off. But now they'll all die together so I guess it doesn't matter. You know, I feel like this stubbornness was a way to railroad our heroes into a fight…but surely the DM wouldn't do that, right?? What say you, Max Hedman??Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.
This week, join Kate as she returns to form (2+ hour early BTI5-style rambling) by going through an old PowerPoint she found on her computer about Taylor Swift's evolution from diary-style songwriter to mythological storyteller through increasingly complex literary references. From "Love Story" fairytale princess to The Albatross and Cassandra the cursed prophet, how has Taylor deliberately written herself into literary archetypes as both artistic strategy and psychological self-defense? TLDR; a chaotic TS deep dive with a (hopefully) entertaining payoff about why our "crazy" fan behavior might actually be anthropologically normal.Topics covered:The difference between symbolic self-portraiture and literal autobiographyGreek gods vs. monotheistic religious figures (and why it matters for fandom behavior)Guillermo del Toro's quote about Taylor's "deep interest in fable and myth"Why "Mastermind" is more about childhood loneliness than strategic planning"The Albatross" and the Rime of the Ancient MarinerWhy treating artists like gods can be dehumanizing in the name of protectionFinding self-acceptance and/or collective empowerment at pop concertsA bathroom floor monologue about fairytales and personal authorityAnd so much more!Enjoy!TRACK FIVE CHICAGO is on Saturday, July 19.

Gods I hope this is a good idea. I know Stonefist doesn't trust this situation, but hopefully he will be able to swallow his pride. Or maybe he's right and everyone will die! That would be a great end to our story. That was sarcasm by the way. Can you tell sarcasm through text, Max Hedman?Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.
These goliaths have too much drama if you ask me. Give me a tribe that has like, zero bad things happening to it. I'd chill with them. I just don't understand generational grudges, I guess. They just don't make sense. Once most of the old guard is gone, who cares what was done to them? Let the young live their lives. How do you feel about it, Max Hedman?Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.

Our Bitter Hearts have been through so much. Now they must be peace keepers. While there is nothing wrong with that, I hope they haven't lost the plot. At least these Goliaths are agreeable. Let's hope the next group is as well! I can only imagine that they would be! Right, Max Hedman?Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.
In this episode of Reimagining the Contact Center, Marc Bernstein sits down with Lily Clifford, Founder and CEO of Rime, to unpack the emotional mechanics of spoken language, the cultural expectations we attach to voice technology, and why some AI voices make us uneasy while others feel oddly familiar.Marc and Lily explore how human communication isn't just about words—it's about cadence, intention, and identity. They discuss the risks of blurring the line between synthetic and human, how different generations are reshaping voice tech expectations, and why making a voice “believable” is more about respect than realism.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction01:08 Mechanics of the Human Voice04:33 Foundations of Human Conversations09:52 Where is the Bottleneck?14:40 Social Standards or AI Voice18:45 Human Likeness of AI Voice21:27 Ecosystem of Voices27:48 Indistinguishable from Human Voice33:45 What is Next for Rime?40:00 AI in 3 Years
So now our heroes must head to the snowy mountains to the west of Icewind Dale. This place is too big, if you ask me. It could be a bit smaller. Oh well, at least we get some good story out of it! I'm enjoying myself, definitely! How about you, Max Hedman?Sound Effects courtesy of Zapsplat.
Well, time to head northward once again! It seems that these side quests are just endless. I mean I guess this one will help them on their main quest, but gods is this tedious. I wish at least fast traveling was enabled. The instantaneous kind, where the time of day doesn't change. You know what I mean, right? Anyway, I think we deserve a hearty tune from Max Hedman about now. Where is he..?Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.
Oh wow, this is very scary. I'm not certain our heroes will be able to pull through. Eight versus three? Those are odds I'm not comfortable with. PLUS Auril watching?? I mean sure, this first round has gone well. But what about the others? Max Hedman, I'm frightened. Can you give me some kind of inspiration to get out of it?Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.
Oh, that flashback was a bit unexpected. Hopefully we can resolve this upcoming conflict! I'll be honest, I'm not certain what to expect from this. I'm a bit scared. But I have faith our heroes will be able to prevail. If anyone is capable of ending this madness, it's the Bitter Hearts! Right, Max Hedman?Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.
Today's selections are characteristic passages from (maybe) the greatest and (certainly) strangest poem in Lyrical Ballads–Coleridge's Ancient Mariner.
