It's Talk Like a Pirate Day! We're deep in the Halloween crafting time, and we're excited. Lies of P has just been released and Bluestocking has got the itch to start it. Nightingale is another steampunk game due out next Febuary which looks amazing. Jack and Thax went to a performance of reading from Edgar Allan Poe by the Archive Theater company. Thax found a company actually engineering a real airships!

Tonight's conversation goes from stores stocking the Halloween stuff, to a sin against beer, to breaking into the the online library and how to get lost works of fogotten knowledge. Is there a Pirate Bay of educational material?

Tonight's theme is the Desert, and not the Sweet Kind! Jack, Thax and Blue Stocking talk about this summer heat and films based on the classic pulp genre, from Indiana Jones to the Jungle Cruise, to the original H. Rider Haggard's 1885 novel hero, Allan Quatermain!

We're elbows deep into 100+ summertime heat. So we dive into the sea of the current event de jure. The Oceangate sub has been crushed under the weight of nearly 13,000 feet of water. We discuss the event, as compared to the Titanic sinking in 1912. What are your opinions of the wealthy and "Adventure Tourism"?

Never mind the 100+ weather. Stay indoors with Laura Meyer's new fashion-forward card deck. We'll also share drinks and chew the fat on new steampunk minutiae. Jack is put off by steampunk worlds where the tech doesn't make sense. Are you tired of writing pandering to Steampunk without really developing a believable story?

Summer is hitting and we're trying to carry on. Two weeks ago Madam Misfit was robbed after a gig and our own generous patron pushed her go-fund-me over her goal. Abney Park played a private stream that became less private, and Scott Helland kicked off a kickstarter for his latest album. Bluestocking explores the steampunk options in Animal Crossing. Jack points us to Victorian medical quackery with Kaz Rowe.
