In the real world, the idea of spontaneous generation, where maggots and flies come from rotting meat was disproved and replaced by the actual method of like creatures spawning like creatures. That is called biogenesis.

However, in a fantasy world, spontaneous generation can be real.

Here's the companion blog article.

A quick story about the recovery of a legendary suit of armor.

No frogs here, so move along.

My brother, whose character had this item, made this comment on the Follow Me, And Die! FB page:

Hey Larry I need to tell you that you are only sort of right Yes the armor was pitch black but it was full plate. And it didn't age you but turned all of your hair completely white. It had 2 or 3 other abilities but I can't remember them and can't get to my notebook at the moment. 

Today I'm at Marmalade Dog and I interview artist Lindsay Poulos.

I want to encourage everyone to go to the small local cons in their area. Offer to run games.

I mention the three scenarios I'm running, one each Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I'm bringing them to Gary Con as options for pick up games.

I discuss how players in my game wanted to display the trophies of their kills.

Two call ins from Jeremy at the Thought Eater podcast. He also writes the Thought Eater blog.

I nearly lost this whole episode. I mis-numbered it as 87, and while I was still in Audacity, tried re-naming the files and directories. Do NOT do that! I managed to recover this episode. It isn't cut well, but after multiple trains interrupting my flow and nearly losing the whole thing from my own stupidity, I'm calling it good enough.

Today, I'd like to talk about railroads.

Back in May and June of 2015, I wrote a couple of blog articles about railroad style of play.

The first, RAILROAD VS. SANDBOX – THE TIMELINE. 

The second, WHAT IF YOUR RPG INVOLVES A RAILROAD? 

My thoughts on building a framework or checklist to help me build more interesting adventures that might also be useful to novice GMs.

Today I discuss the time back in the day when Griswald faced the consequences of an alignment deviation.

SHIP'S KLAXON HORN

Today I discuss organization.

But first some of the usual side quests before the main topic.

It finally clarified in my mind what to call all of my blog readers, social media followers, Patrons, YouTube viewers, and podcast listeners. You'll have to listen in for the reveal.

I've got some T-shirt ideas and will have a poll about them.

A bit of mention about Kickstarter ideas and planning. (Nothing definite yet, so don't get excited.)

Here's episode 79, actually number 80 since I started with episode 0.

Today, I'd like to talk about Language and Writing. I've been working on a blog post, but it's slow going.

Some news in addition to Caravans & Trade, I have a second Copper seller on DriveThruRPG, Library Generation Tables.
