Guten tag meine cultists! Ich bin oltralpe, purtroppo non per la consueta fiera di Essen, ma per prosaici motivi di mero guadagno personale.

Detto questo, un warning per tutti: è in arrivo un periodo travagliato di assenze causa impegni inderogabili, per cui godetevi questo episodio, assaporatene il nettare spurgante dai pori del vostro device, che per qualche episodio andremo in onda a ranghi ridotti.

The conclusion to the battle with Shaun Vaughn as the crew attempts to throw the deity off their game.

The game of life....does take place on a board.....hmmmm....On this episode we dive headlong into a world that this critic lives adjacent to but wasn't quite up to speed with...  It's time for 'The Hobby: Tales From The Tabletop'.'The Hobby: Tales From The Tabletop' follows a select group of board game enthusiasts as they explore all aspects of the modern age of gaming and how people ultimately find purpose and community through the games that they play.I'll admit to knowing that this world existed but we weren't up to speed on it and if you have any kind of passion or hobby in your life you'll be able to slip into this world as effortlessly as you would a warm bath.   It's all an inspiring kind of fun.We had the pleasure of sitting down with director Simon Ennis about the origins of the film, the nature of the board community why it's 'The Hobby' and how this shared culture is yet another example of the nerds of the world reigning supreme.

In this week's Streetlight, we're back on location at Vulpine Taproom in Seattle asking people about their characters and campaigns! We hear about liches with day jobs, wild magic druids, and the downsides of digital dice.We're very grateful to Vulpine Taproom for letting us record at their game night! We talked with so many people in one evening that we ended up breaking it up into two episodes. The first episode aired towards the end of last season - go give it a listen. Thanks to Margaret, Shawn, Brandon, Chris, and Andrew for featuring in this week's episode! Margaret and Shawn mention a ton of TTRPG systems in our conversation:Here's a review of Champions 4th Edition, which Margaret and Shawn repeatedly refer to as the Big Blue Book. Here's a brief contemporary review of the system from a 1988 issue of Computers and Video Games. This is the Ars Magica system they discuss.Here's a 2005 review of the Serenity system they discuss. If you weren't around for Firefly and Serenity, the reverence might seem a little disorienting. The entire rulebook is also available on Internet Archive.Here's the concept for Mage: the Ascension.We talk briefly about Lancer and Jake mentions last season's interview with Tyler.Here's the synopsis of the book Shawn is working on based on the steampunk campaign he ran. The illustrations here are really incredible.Here's a lot more of the art Shawn has worked on professionally.Throughout our conversation, Margaret and Shawn were showing us pieces of physical art. All of these were extremely cool! We can't embed images in the show notes, so head over to our website to see some more of Shawn's art.Thanks to Goblin Society Games for supporting this week's episode!

Lars has an update about the next few weeks while The Roots of Ruin is on break. We'll be unlocking premium shows for everyone on our main feed and will be doubling down on Band of Gold premieres over on Patreon. Have a great summer!

A lot of stuff happened this past weekend, so I spend a little time talking about the few things that stood out to me, including the ROG Xbox Ally, the bait and switch Resident Evil 9 announcement, and the reveal of a very cool-looking new game: There Are No Ghosts at the Grand. Of course, if you're sick of hearing about Summer Game Fest and all that nonsense, there's always what I've been playing, this week with Section 13, Trident's Tale, Spirit of the North 2, Keeper's Toll, and Bunny Cubed. Anyway and as always, thank you for watching or listening, I hope you enjoy this here episode, and I hope you have a wonderful wonderful rest of your day. (And if you haven't already, or are a listener and not a watcher, please like, subscribe, hit the bell, and all that jazz; it may not seem like much, but it goes a long way in helping support the show and site in general. I would appreciate it greatly.)

The crew's combat continues with Shaun Vaughn and we learn new and interesting things.
