Welcome to episode #293 of the the podcast celebrating the Alea Iacta Est gaming community, the die has been podcast. This is Tetsemi: To my left is Mkallah: - (Hey guys, there is Sticky Toffee pudding in the guild kitchen). (And, Mewkow will be in shortly! Something about a backyard playscape being scattered around the neighborhood!) And to my right is Mewkow: (Greetings Gamers, or whatever else Mkallah decides to write in here). This week we are joined by Hoots and a mystery guest who are here to talk to us about AIE in Eve The Fine Art of Seafaring. Welcome!

Ok, we’ll be digging into EVE shortly, but first, let’s cover this week’s news...

AIE News

Imperium Ludi

ESO news: The Dragon Bones update is now live with two new dungeons and accompanying new items sets, monster helms and achievements. There's only a handful of players in ESO these days but an AIE is available in game and a channel is active in Discord for those interested.

NOMADS

Season 13 in Diablo 3 has officially started and the group of usual suspects are in there doing our thing, come join us, it's free to play after all. And a new League will be starting in Path of Exile this coming Friday at 1pm ET, it, also, is free to play, and really a lot of fun. Come on by and give Apolas and Durus a shout.

Also a reminder of the upcoming April 1st Fools Rush in Challenge

Do a raid or dungeon on Sunday, April 1, in your least-played spec. Yep. Tanks go heals (and vice versa if you're a Druid). Hunters go Survival (which may be a misnomer in this case). Mages go Arcane (get to hear the cool stuff your weapon says!) The idea is to have fun and make a fool of yourself with friends.

We had an amazing time with the First Annual Rall’s Amazing Race and can’t wait to duplicate this in other games as well. Thanks to Pellel and Max for the idea, thanks to Syreyne for hosting and cat herding, and thanks to Eagle the quest giver for taking his own mage portal and giving us all a good laugh.

Speaking of good laughs, posted w/out comment, because it speaks for itself.
