Tonight I’d like to shout out the “Go Pods Wildlife Movement” in the pet pics channel!

Here, listeners record video of wildlife, any wildlife, while encouraging the wildlife to give us a hearty”go pods.” There’s been a rabbit. A goose. Remind me guys and I’ll post a couple of these videos in the episode channel!

Introducing Sylvie the tiny Ferret, from Fogg Realm Games! It’s nice to get some pet pic variety! Welcome to the channel Sylvie. She looks like she’s at a furry rave

This episode, Keeper Dave & Bridgett are excited to kick off a new series of episodes that provide you, dear listener, with a curriculum to enhance and grow your gameplay! 

These curriculum – curricula? – will be a set of episodes organized like classes that are focused on improving one set of your gaming perspective and skills. 

That’s right – and so we’re starting with our first Curriculum series now! Starting tonight we debut our first Curriculum– Welcome to Cthulhu University – From Neophyte to Elder God (and everything in-between)

Over the next 6 episodes, we will review the coursework for Call of Cthulhu, taking us from an introductory start, basically Call of Cthulhu for Dummies, all the way through career level professionalism. This series is targeted for both beginners and veterans alike. We’ll approach Call of Cthulhu from a fresh perspective with rejuvenating and inspiring ideas to elevate your CoC storytelling!

I’d like to shout out Miss Miskatonic’s cat Jack, and this absurd sleeping position. Upside down, inside out, twisted, folded, and knocked out. I’m impressed.

I’d like to shout out the entire situation that is ARM1384’s cat, Loki. This cat is outright plotting on a dog. Just… go to the show notes and look at the photo. Apparently he was like that for 20 minutes.

This episode, Keepers Dave & Bridgett discuss time periods and genre in horror gaming! What’s your favorite setting? Excluding either modern or the 1920s. Those are great settings that both deserve their own shows. So we have to get out of our comfort zones!
