Hear, O Cabalists! The noble Lords of the Dungeon return to regale thee with tales of roleplay anew. Today, we embark upon a quest into the mystical realms of Talespire, a 3D tabletop conjuration that doth defy imagination's bounds. Then our gaze falls upon three RPG gems, rare as phoenix feathers, bearing unique mechanisms: Ten Candles, Dread, and Alice is Missing. And in the shadows of discourse, we unfurl the cloak of suspension of disbelief, where the ethereal dance of fantasy and reality unfolds in the realm of roleplay. Join us on this lyrical odyssey, as the Lords of the Dungeon beckon thee to a world where stories breathe and dreams take flight!
We're back again from the archives of episodes 25 - 30 and including some behind the scenes laughs with Kris on the Board Game Battleground episode before he sadly passed away this year. We'll keep churning these out as we continue to make mistakes...which is every episode.
Walker and Huey voted to end the game early, but there were then procedural questions as to whether that warranted a runoff in the French Presidential style. Chip III repeated his preference for a ranked-choice voting system, but he couldn't decide whether his second choice was a single transferable vote or first past the post. Meanwhile, Mark gerrymandered the rest of the table into one sprawling district, and made three new districts intersect at his spine so he got three votes to everyone else's collective one. He moved, seconded, and veto-proofed a motion to the effect that everyone else should stop talking.
