Hey all,

Show’s in somewhat of a transitional space as I head into my fourth year of long Covid. Between that, preparing the initial reader packet for Book 1, and a full overhaul of the website and socials, we’ve needed a place where we can be more casual.

So I’m going to call this a soft start to Season 4. Which we’ll begin with a look back at some of our favorite narrative tropes, this time from video games ( retro ). Then we’ll dive into a playtest on the next episode. 

We hope you enjoy,

J

Where the Thistledowns Blow, Ep 3: “Flour Power”

Dave joins the folk of the village with his character Bo, and shares his requests for the game as a whole—one of them quite presciently, it turns out, as things would blow. Or for at least one thistledown, as they stand at a threshold.

Where the Thistledowns Blow, Ep 2: “Thresholds”
