00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:16,760
Hello and welcome to the Weekly 
Scroll Podcast. 

2
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,840
My name is Ryan. 
I'm a little sleepy guy. 

3
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:25,960
And I'm guest Jarrett Crater. 
Jarrett Crater. 

4
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:34,320
And if jerk's here? 
All right. 

5
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,840
And if dirt's here, you know it 
is not cat chats. 

6
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:39,440
I think we're in double digits 
now. 

7
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:43,880
I think we're on 10 or 11. 
So how's it going? 

8
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,120
How's it going, Dirt? 
Doing all right. 

9
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:50,280
It's it's a Sunday morning in 
South Florida, which means it's 

10
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,080
muggy. 
Yeah. 

11
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,280
While the rest of the country is
getting destroyed by severe 

12
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,720
weather. 
We're in a fog bank down here. 

13
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,160
No, it's just rainy here. 
I'm in the, I'm in the Pacific 

14
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,720
Northwest, so it's always rainy.
So we're doing the regular 

15
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,760
thing, so. 
I have no idea what the outside 

16
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,000
is like. 
And, you know, listeners at 

17
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,600
home, if you're like, why does 
Ryan sound like that? 

18
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:17,960
It's because Ryan has been. 
Sexy. 

19
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,280
Has been dealing with the flu, 
so if you're like Ryan sure does

20
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,120
sound different today. 
That is the reason. 

21
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,640
I've been I've I've I've, I 
think this is The funny thing 

22
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,760
that I've always told people 
because people are always like, 

23
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:33,720
Oh, I had the flu or this or 
that. 

24
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,920
I'm like, no, you didn't. 
No, you didn't, because people 

25
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:38,200
were like, I'm not sure if I had
the flu. 

26
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,240
I'm like, well, then you fuck it
didn't If you ever really get 

27
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,880
the flu, especially if you get 
flu a luckily I only got flu 

28
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:45,080
beat. 
You know it. 

29
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:50,560
I definitely know I had it for 
the best week and I'm so feeling

30
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,000
it pretty hard here and my 
throat has been pretty raw. 

31
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,400
But but we're doing the thing 
we're we're we're here talking 

32
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:03,600
with Jert and doing what we 
normally do on not cat chats, 

33
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,960
which is bullshit about some 
shit for for who knows how long 

34
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,759
and then eventually talking 
about stuff. 

35
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:10,800
But how? 
Sexy Ryan. 

36
00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:13,640
Dude, if my voice, I don't like 
this all the time, I'd be so 

37
00:02:13,640 --> 00:02:15,000
happy. 
I'm like, can I just get a 

38
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,880
little bit of corpse husband 
without the GERD? 

39
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,320
You know, like just give me a 
flu voice and and, and I'll be 

40
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,040
happy with it. 
This is the only way I'll get 

41
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:27,160
myself to stop yelling for the 
entire podcast is to just make 

42
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,320
it hurt all the time to talk. 
How the hell are you, man? 

43
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,440
I'm. 
Doing all right, getting ready 

44
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:38,160
to go to Gary Con next week. 
So I'm in I'm in pre con hump 

45
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,600
mode. 
I'm in the Sunday before, which 

46
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,800
is today. 
It is pack up all my gear. 

47
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:50,160
So it's open to big R2D2 
suitcase and fill out put all of

48
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,680
the stuff, the perishables and 
stuff like that that need to go 

49
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,200
in there this year. 
I am I have sworn I'm not 

50
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:01,200
mulling anything there or back. 
The only thing I'm taking well, 

51
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,080
I mean, I'll probably bring 
something back. 

52
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:10,720
My, my thing when I go to 
conventions is I always seek out

53
00:03:10,920 --> 00:03:15,760
the place that has the old 
stuff, like really used and you 

54
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,600
know, like the orphans that no 
one wants. 

55
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,480
And I buy a board game of some 
sort. 

56
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:26,640
So I've got like Baseball 1812, 
which is a simulator for 

57
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:31,280
baseball as it was in the dead 
ball era in the 1800s. 

58
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:36,120
I've got championship football, 
which has like a spinner 

59
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,640
mechanic and a tracker for your 
scores and things like that. 

60
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:44,680
I've got a tennis game. 
I've got ACB Truckers game. 

61
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,800
I've got this really great one 
called Predator, the food chain 

62
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,160
game that I will actually take 
with me this year because it's 

63
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,200
turned into one of those go to 
convention games for us. 

64
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:01,960
You have these big old flash 
cards and they have a an animal 

65
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,200
on them and then and they have 
what that animal eats and what 

66
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:09,000
that animal's eaten by. 
And it's a variation of Go Fish 

67
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,160
that you go around the table and
there's like a challenge mode 

68
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,560
and you try to be the person at 
the end of the 30 minutes. 

69
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,519
It's a time game, which makes it
really nice for conventions 

70
00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:23,000
because if you can just get 
everybody's attention for 30 

71
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,200
minutes, you've got a good game 
going on. 

72
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,880
And then it's so it's a race to 
for to see your memory. 

73
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:34,760
So it's kind of part 
concentration and part go fish 

74
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,240
and you're trying to remember 
what cards people have. 

75
00:04:38,280 --> 00:04:42,120
And then you can do these big 
long chains where you can like, 

76
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:47,080
have the bear can eat the are 
the, you can have the deer can 

77
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:51,520
eat the fruits and berries, and 
then the bear can eat the deer, 

78
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,920
and then death and decay can eat
the bear. 

79
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,920
It just goes up the Whole Foods.
Yeah, it's really nice. 

80
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,120
It's published by Ampersand 
Games. 

81
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,720
And I think they're still 
around. 

82
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,280
And at some point the game's in 
the other room. 

83
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:07,760
I wish I had brought it in here 
so I could show you the box. 

84
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:12,760
But it's this really cool, 
almost Art Deco yellow box, like

85
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:17,600
really hideous looking with the 
kind of screened on there, this 

86
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:23,880
cheetah or leopard or, you know,
animal of like cat, like animal 

87
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,840
of prey about to take down some 
prey in like green and red. 

88
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:33,120
It's really, really pretty and 
that box is pretty fun. 

89
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,240
I've actually since then 
purchased another version of 

90
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,160
Predator that has a photograph 
of a bear on it. 

91
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,920
So I'm I'm trying to collect all
the iterations of predator that 

92
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,160
I can find if I find. 
But that's what I do when I go 

93
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:51,400
to conventions is I find random 
stuff like that, like not even 

94
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,120
necessarily hard to find, just 
something that the game stores 

95
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,520
happened to have brought and 
that it's just going to sit 

96
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,040
there all weekend. 
And I buy it on when Thursday, 

97
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,200
first day of the show. 
And then we just play the shit 

98
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,280
out of it the rest of the 
convention if we can. 

99
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,400
That's probably a great time. 
Yeah, Predator is really, really

100
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,120
fun. 
One of these days, maybe we'll 

101
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,880
do a revision of it if they will
let me license it out. 

102
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,560
And we're going to do all like, 
fantasy monsters. 

103
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,080
Cool. 
So. 

104
00:06:21,280 --> 00:06:24,440
I'd be sick. 
I just I I think that you 

105
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,440
actually showed me this before I
know we were talking. 

106
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,360
I think I just threw it up on 
the on the display there. 

107
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,120
The this one. 
I'll throw it in chat to make 

108
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:35,640
sure it's the one that you're 
talking about. 

109
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:40,400
But that's a dope box too. 
Yeah, I have that box. 

110
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:41,400
It's. 
Really pretty. 

111
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,360
And that's what attracted me to 
it because it had, it had a 

112
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,480
whopping $10 price tag on it 
too, which is the best thing. 

113
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,840
I mean, that's, yeah. 
My God, you almost have to just 

114
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,720
see a cool like game box and it 
says $10. 

115
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,760
I I don't know if I could ever 
walk away from that. 

116
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,680
No, so aside from things like 
that, like I, I find those 

117
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,400
sports games that no one wants 
and things like that, I get them

118
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,960
for like 10 or 12 bucks. 
I got one called Dungeon Dice a 

119
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:14,760
couple years ago at packs, which
the the goal of it is to roll 

120
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,200
dice and dig your way out of the
dungeon. 

121
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,560
And so you do like sets of 
there's like specialty dice that

122
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,080
have like little icons on them 
and your goal is to roll pears 

123
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:27,960
so that you can actually build 
your tunnel out. 

124
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,880
But then there's also like the 
guards that can get you and stop

125
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,360
you and take your part of the 
tunnel out. 

126
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:39,080
And it had this really cool like
Poly molded dice rolling area in

127
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,840
the middle. 
And then the board is these 4L 

128
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,120
shaped sections or V shaped 
sections that go around it and 

129
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:49,000
attach to the to the little 
plastic thing in the middle. 

130
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,880
Again, just wanted, I think that
was a Parker brothers. 

131
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,320
I'll look it up. 
Parker Brothers Touching Dice I.

132
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,280
Think I found the one with the 
the bear photo on it too. 

133
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,240
I got to say the bear one is 
cool, but that yellow box? 

134
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,480
The yellow box is just so good, 
isn't? 

135
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,440
It, it's it, it pops so nice. 
It's really good. 

136
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:22,360
Yeah. 
Yeah, it's just, but it's, it's,

137
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,360
it's kind of con season now, 
isn't it? 

138
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,720
There's like a bajillion con 
everyone keeps talking about 

139
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:31,280
like I don't break out and I 
don't know what depticon is this

140
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:35,720
month and this is just a lot of 
cons happening. 

141
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,200
Yeah, a lot of cons happened in 
the early spring and then go 

142
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,640
throughout the summer. 
There's still a few in the in 

143
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,080
the late fall and winter, like 
packed since is in December and 

144
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:49,200
stuff like that. 
But yeah, it's tis the season of

145
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:53,560
the convention, so I'm super 
stoked. 

146
00:08:53,680 --> 00:08:55,720
I like, I like going to like 
Geneva. 

147
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,680
I like going to this show in 
particular because I get to see 

148
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,280
the people that I play DCC with 
on the Wednesday nights and the 

149
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:07,240
weekends and stuff like that, 
like Doug and Mez and Clea, Tom 

150
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:11,960
Stefan, which is really cool. 
So it's nice like a once a year,

151
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,040
most of us are there, which is 
really cool. 

152
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:21,000
It's expensive, like the food is
expensive, but the food's 

153
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:25,480
actually pretty good. 
So it's not horrible for you. 

154
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,960
And we go to this pizzeria 
called Next Door Pub and 

155
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,640
Pizzeria, but we've nicknamed it
Nice Guy. 

156
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,800
Well, Doug nicknamed it Nice Guy
Murder Pub, so we always refer 

157
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,360
to it as Nice Guy Murder Pub. 
So we go to Nice Guy Murder Pub 

158
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:44,240
once a once a year as well and 
have like sandwiches and brats 

159
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,160
and shit like that. 
Because when you're in 

160
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:47,560
Wisconsin, you got to have the 
brats. 

161
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,240
Wait why? 
Why are y'all do y'all call it 

162
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:54,000
nice guy murder bar? 
That's the way Doug Kovac's 

163
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,120
brain works. 
He just sees something and just 

164
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,240
calls it something else. 
He couldn't remember Next door 

165
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,960
pub and pizzeria so I got 
nicknamed Nice Guy Murder Pub. 

166
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:09,680
Cool, cool, cool. 
So what's coming out? 

167
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:10,960
What's so? 
What's coming? 

168
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:16,160
The new release, the new release
this this week that for those 

169
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,960
listening at home, I sent late 
in the mail so it didn't get out

170
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:23,600
is playthings by Seth Ian for 
liminal horror. 

171
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:31,840
It is a is it funnel. 
Essentially, you can use it to 

172
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:37,080
intro new characters or you can 
use it as a resonant artifact 

173
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,800
characters find and slot them in
there. 

174
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:47,120
But spoilers, people wake up in 
a world where they are all toys.

175
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:53,960
So we are either AGI Joe or a 
Barbie or Legos, Lego bricks and

176
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,600
things like that. 
It's got a bunch of really cool 

177
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,560
collage art that Seth did for it
as well. 

178
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,400
But I really, really dig and and
super. 

179
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,320
It's nice, nice slim little 
volume. 

180
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,160
It's got all your encounters. 
It's got a pretty extensive 

181
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,120
bestiary. 
I don't want to give too much 

182
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:16,200
away for it, but it's it's a 
nice, nice little one for 

183
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,800
liminal horror. 
The first third party stuff that

184
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,000
we publish, we do publish the 
first party rental horror, of 

185
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,320
course, so. 
Well that sounds really cool. 

186
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:29,040
I'd love AI, love a funnel 
adventure, but the necessary Toy

187
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,160
Story Corps funnel adventure. 
I love that. 

188
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:37,520
There's you're not actually like
toys in it, but what's what 

189
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:43,360
what's the movie about toys? 
That's like really fucking dark.

190
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,320
I never remember what it's 
called like the toys are like 

191
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,040
killing people and stuff. 
I don't know if maybe like you 

192
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:50,040
mean the. 
Puppet Master. 

193
00:11:50,680 --> 00:11:53,240
No, no, like I think there's 
like. 

194
00:11:53,560 --> 00:11:55,800
Those are classic films though. 
By the way, I could talk about 

195
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,120
Puppet Master films all day. 
If you guys want to talk about 

196
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:02,240
the Puppet Master films, I'm a 
big big fan of of Full Moon 

197
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,080
Entertainment. 
The one was was puppet master 

198
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,480
the moment like you could no, 
that was, I was going to say 

199
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,760
wishmasters when I was like was 
puppet master where you get a 

200
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,000
wish? 
No, that's Wishmaster. 

201
00:12:11,560 --> 00:12:14,040
That's actually actually 
Wishmaster so. 

202
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,680
Yeah, where like you wish, but 
it gives you like the worst 

203
00:12:16,680 --> 00:12:20,040
possible way that your wish 
could be like construed, which 

204
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,800
is awesome. 
No, there's a, it's, I feel like

205
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,600
it's a really, it's a really 
dark like adult. 

206
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,360
It's like toy world or something
because the toys are like 

207
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,520
killing people or something. 
And I don't ever, I feel like 

208
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,640
it's, it's one of those things I
feel like was a fever dream when

209
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,120
I was younger and now I can't 
remember it. 

210
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:37,640
Maybe. 
Maybe you made it up. 

211
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,920
Maybe you saw soldiers. 
Maybe you? 

212
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,640
No, it's first of all small 
soldiers Fox, that movie is. 

213
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:48,000
Great, actually so. 
Never seen it, Should I add 

214
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,040
small soldiers to the list? 
I've never seen small soldiers. 

215
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:52,320
I've. 
Never seen small soldiers. 

216
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:57,680
Like night late 90s movie, like 
family. 

217
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,280
Bro it's like so woke too. 
Like the crowd now if that came 

218
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,360
out now would freak the fuck 
out. 

219
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:09,880
Basically there's like these 
like gung ho GI Joe type soldier

220
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,680
action figures, and then there's
these like beast men that they 

221
00:13:12,680 --> 00:13:16,600
fight, but they like come alive 
and the beast men are just like 

222
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,640
normal dudes that are just 
trying to exist. 

223
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,800
And the soldiers are these like 
genocidal American soldiers 

224
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,320
trying to like kill everything 
and then they go on this fucking

225
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:29,200
rampage. 
It's amazing, bro. 

226
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,360
It's it is, it's I remember like
all the toys and remember when 

227
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:38,640
like I don't know. 
I do. 

228
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,680
I definitely remember 
specifically that. 

229
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,640
Oh, there was a really, really 
fucking dark movie where like 

230
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,720
like some of this person like 
program these toys to kill 

231
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:55,120
people and stuff. 
Doesn't mean. 

232
00:13:55,680 --> 00:13:56,560
A battle for me. 
Me either. 

233
00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:58,840
So cool. 
Cool. 

234
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:05,720
We looking forward to we just to
play things. 

235
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,560
Yeah, it sounds like fun. 
I'll just play things horror. 

236
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,280
So it's going to be cool to have
more. 

237
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,120
I'm excited for like third party
Luminal horror stuff coming up. 

238
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:17,160
We're also like in like about a 
month, we're going to be 

239
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:21,040
crowdfunding the Luminal Horror 
Deluxe edition, which is going 

240
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,960
to be going out, which is pretty
cool and exciting. 

241
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,000
A nice hardback. 
It's going to match the size and

242
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:31,120
shape of the Parth and the 
genesis of Hungry Hollow. 

243
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:32,680
Cool. 
Right here it's. 

244
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:39,600
A great sized book. 6 by 9. 
Nice, nice, easy to read, opens 

245
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:44,360
up and is compact. 
You know, I'm getting ready to 

246
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,000
jump in the dives on those. 
We're, we're projecting 

247
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:51,880
somewhere, somewhere over 
somewhere around 200 pages for 

248
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,680
it right now. 
So it's going to have a lot of 

249
00:14:54,680 --> 00:15:01,120
good advice for the facilitator 
and it's going to have a lot of,

250
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,960
it's going to have, as with all 
crowdfunds, we're going to be 

251
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:09,280
crowdfunding some extra content 
to go along with it that's been 

252
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:13,080
written like extra adventures 
and things like that and samples

253
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,360
and stuff. 
So it's going to be pretty solid

254
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,280
and we're keeping it pretty 
tight as far as like the 

255
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:24,200
physical aspect, we're trying to
keep it low and like low volume 

256
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,560
or not low volume, but low, low 
stress on the creation. 

257
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,480
So trying to keep it mostly 
books because we all know that 

258
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,120
shipping things is kind of a 
nightmare right now. 

259
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:38,920
I've got folks in Canada who are
asking me every day like to 

260
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:43,120
figure out if they, you know, 
how we're shipping Karen to 

261
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,240
Canada And we're like, we're 
using FedEx like it's the best, 

262
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:51,680
the best we can do right now. 
So, but it's in, it's 

263
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,320
interesting shipping things in 
international waters. 

264
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,280
The last thing I figured would 
be a problem would be Canada 

265
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,080
because we shipped to Canada all
the time. 

266
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,200
But now we don't know if our 
packages are going to get 

267
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:08,880
through how tagged on the 
tariffs and things like that. 

268
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,080
There's a chance that books are 
just going to go through no 

269
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,760
problem. 
So we don't know. 

270
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,680
But so this is kind of going to 
be our test case on that. 

271
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,200
Things in the US aren't going 
well right now, yeah. 

272
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:27,440
Let's just not go there, right? 
I brought it up, sorry. 

273
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,120
To to break that for a second, 
the movie is just called Toys 

274
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,680
with Robin Williams. 
Oh, you know that. 

275
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:42,880
I know the guy who I know a guy.
He's past now, but back when I 

276
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:48,600
worked at a bar, well one of 
many bars, this guy named Ed was

277
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:52,480
the production designer on that.
And they were actually nominated

278
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,520
for an Academy Award or maybe 
they won an Academy Award. 

279
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,400
He was also, he was also a 
production designer on Scarface 

280
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,520
too, But he he was super 
regular. 

281
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,560
When he passed away, we renamed 
the IPA that he drank all the 

282
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:12,240
time, Ed's IPA, because that's 
what he drank. 

283
00:17:14,839 --> 00:17:21,480
And yeah, when he was a he was a
pretty cool guy. 

284
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,200
He always would get those Oscar 
screeners for your 

285
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,160
consideration. 
And this is before like mass 

286
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,760
touring and downloading and 
things like that so we could 

287
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:36,880
watch all of the all of the 
Oscar worthy pics. 

288
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,320
We would have like night movie 
nights at the bar after we 

289
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,360
closed and we would just sit up 
there and hook the VCR up to the

290
00:17:44,360 --> 00:17:47,880
big TV's and then just play 
that, which would be pretty fun.

291
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,480
So got to see many films I 
wouldn't normally see, which was

292
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:53,160
nice. 
There you. 

293
00:17:54,360 --> 00:17:56,680
Go. 
Oh yeah, yeah. 

294
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,240
Boys, Yeah. 
Robin Williams, You know, and 

295
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,080
honestly, I've never seen that 
film and I should so. 

296
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:07,520
Yeah, I mean it, it bombed. 
And I remember watching it and 

297
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:12,760
thinking it was like weird, like
it's OK. 

298
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,440
Like it's not one of those 
movies that's like so weird. 

299
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,480
It's like becomes a cult classic
later. 

300
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,320
Like it definitely kind of has a
little bit of that cult classic 

301
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:22,640
status. 
But you're going to watch it and

302
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,440
just be like, huh, that was just
weird. 

303
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:28,240
It's got LL Cool J in it. 
So if you're going to get LL 

304
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,760
Cool J in the 90s fan. 
Yeah, there you go. 

305
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,640
But anyway the the deluxe 
edition. 

306
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,440
Yeah. 
Oh, I was going to give a small 

307
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,280
update on Karen. 
Karen, shipping is proceeding at

308
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,440
pace. 
Most of the EU orders have gone 

309
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,880
out. 
The UK orders are going out at 

310
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,800
pace and the US orders are going
out at pace. 

311
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:53,680
So which is which is pretty fun.
Yeah, it's it's a lot to chew on

312
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,200
and it could be overwhelming, 
but we broke it down. 

313
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,480
We did like you do with all 
problems, you break it down into

314
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,360
smaller bits. 
And so we broke this down into a

315
00:19:01,360 --> 00:19:03,880
bits and we're doing a certain 
amount per day. 

316
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,240
Then we're going to get done and
it's going to be nice. 

317
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,960
As opposed to trying to get so 
many out a day and wearing 

318
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:14,120
ourselves out and just being 
exhausted from that. 

319
00:19:14,120 --> 00:19:17,440
And then trying to keep up with 
the daily customer service and 

320
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,600
stuff like that to make sure 
that folks are getting the right

321
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,560
books and getting their 
questions answered and things 

322
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:25,680
like that. 
So yeah, Karen's, Karen's coming

323
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:31,120
through nice. 
But yeah, Liminal Horror Deluxe,

324
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,120
it's going to be, it's going to 
be a good one. 

325
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,840
It's going to have all the stuff
from investigators. 

326
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:41,120
So it's going to be you're going
to be investigators is going to 

327
00:19:41,120 --> 00:19:46,320
be Evergreen, where the goal is 
to make the well, to make the 

328
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:51,200
deluxe edition be the one that 
the facilitator buys and reads 

329
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,880
and runs out of. 
Obviously anybody could read and

330
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,640
run out of it. 
It's just a book, but then 

331
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,320
you'll pick up extra copies of 
investigators to hand to the 

332
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,400
players. 
So now we have the the double 

333
00:20:03,120 --> 00:20:05,960
the double whammy of making sure
that all the information is 

334
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,200
stated the same way or stated 
with the scientists as is 

335
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,600
investigators and stuff. 
Or if we make any changes, then 

336
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,920
we need to tweak investigators a
little bit to make it match up. 

337
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,640
Because it's the goal is we want
people to pick up and be like, 

338
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,280
cool, let's run a modern horror 
game and one person who's going 

339
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:26,160
to facilitate picks up the big 
book and then he gets copies. 

340
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,240
So they get copies of the 
smaller book to hand out to 

341
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,440
players so players can kind of 
know the lay of the land and how

342
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,680
everything goes. 
It's really, that's what we did 

343
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,240
with Karen. 
You know, there's the Warden's 

344
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:41,360
Guide and then you get three 
extra 3 total copies in the box 

345
00:20:41,360 --> 00:20:44,200
set of the players guide so that
you can hand them out so that 

346
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,080
it's just easier to play. 
That's always a rough thing. 

347
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,400
Like making player facing 
documents is really super good 

348
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,120
and super fun. 
I'm getting ready to run because

349
00:20:53,120 --> 00:20:56,680
we talked about last time Snake 
Wolf and I'm getting ready to 

350
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,440
run. 
Starting this summer I'm going 

351
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:03,400
to have an open table campaign 
of all things Snake Wolf, which 

352
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,240
is going to be pretty fun. 
But I got Sean's permission to 

353
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,000
make just a player facing packet
that has all the level 0 

354
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,920
occupations and the lucky stars 
and desires and stuff like that 

355
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:14,800
to help with role-playing 
prompts. 

356
00:21:15,120 --> 00:21:19,400
So it's, it's just like 6 or 8 
pages of the of the book. 

357
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:24,040
But instead of making everyone 
buy a $75 book, which everyone 

358
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,720
should buy this cycle of Snake 
Wolf because it's fucking well 

359
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:28,640
worth it. 
It's fucking amazing. 

360
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,240
They just get this little PDF 
that just has all this basic 

361
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:37,560
stuff that they need and it's 
really solid because it leads 

362
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:41,160
into where I want to go with a 
lot of the products. 

363
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,080
We're with a lot of the 
adventures and that's the same. 

364
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:48,960
That's the thing that I'm seeing
more and more and and rule 

365
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:53,320
systems is people filtering in 
and adding in their little bits 

366
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,360
of their mythos and their 
character creation sections, 

367
00:21:56,360 --> 00:21:59,000
which is I. 
Do love that I love when the 

368
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:03,240
lore is cooked into just even 
reading through the rules. 

369
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,760
It's hard to do to, sorry. 
It's hard to do. 

370
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,920
It's hard to do and make it not 
overbearing and make it not 

371
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,600
where you flood people and make 
it make it not where you have to

372
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,360
flood the DM so that they have 
to have this huge document of 

373
00:22:17,360 --> 00:22:20,760
back story that they have to 
read off and preface everybody 

374
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,680
with before you can just get 
going into the story or 

375
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,160
whatever. 
Indentured because the game is 

376
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,920
what happens at the table. 
You know, the game is not in the

377
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:29,600
book. 
The game is what happens at the 

378
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,280
table. 
You can have, you can have 

379
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,840
plans, plans, plans out the 
wazoo. 

380
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:39,640
And if you can't actually, if 
you're not actually reacting to 

381
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,800
what the players are doing, then
you, then what's the point? 

382
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,600
That's how I feel. 
Yeah, makes a lot of sense. 

383
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,280
I am. 
I'm really excited for my 4th 

384
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,960
copy of Liminal Horror though, 
so at my table it will be me 

385
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,120
having the docs one, then me 
handing out my other copies. 

386
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,840
Nice to the other players so. 
Nice. 

387
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,840
And you guys have run LH on the 
show before, right? 

388
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:04,600
We have, yeah. 
Absolutely. 

389
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:10,120
I, I just, I just saw a goblin 
archives just put up a new, a 

390
00:23:10,120 --> 00:23:16,840
new page of all the APS that 
have been run and I, I, I, I 

391
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,040
jumped in that and remind that 
we've done it quite a few times.

392
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:25,240
Actually, we did the we did the 
bloom and then we did 2 episodes

393
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:29,320
for like the shelter would in 
crossover with Triangle agency 

394
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:33,120
and and whatnot. 
So yeah, yeah, yeah, it's, it's 

395
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,240
it's been great every time 
because Josh is has run it for 

396
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,040
us. 
A bunch of Josh's fantastic GM 

397
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,320
and obviously one of the current
creators of the game. 

398
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,800
So it is cool to really get the 
feel of the game from the person

399
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,400
who who who who does it. 
So aluminum horror is fantastic.

400
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,960
They it's growing. 
It's one of our good study 

401
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:54,680
sellers which makes me very 
happy. 

402
00:23:55,040 --> 00:24:00,400
Makes sense, it's a great game. 
Yeah, yeah, I'm I the the cover 

403
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:04,800
looks great, but the limited 
edition just like that I cover 

404
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,720
that Zach drops a while ago 
looks so fantastic. 

405
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:12,120
I obviously I'm going to get 
whatever the biggest tier is for

406
00:24:12,120 --> 00:24:15,920
this, right, because that's me. 
But I'm I'm very excited for 

407
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,240
that. 
And also just the call the call 

408
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:24,280
back to the original cover art 
on both the deluxe cover and the

409
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:28,080
regular one and the limited 
edition cover with like the eye 

410
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,480
creature thing, kind of like 
coming down the hallway is such 

411
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:35,280
a good, fantastic through line 
for just the the vibe and the 

412
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,600
and the art of the book too. 
Visual identity. 

413
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,400
Keep it all together. 
Yeah, so it's so good. 

414
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,240
It's so creepy and fucking good.
I'm. 

415
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,040
Super excited to bring that one 
to life. 

416
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:53,200
To so so playthings is the new 
release from Seth coming out now

417
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,640
And and we were talking about 
deluxe edition. 

418
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,880
I know with, you know, obviously
forbidden Psalm, you get a ton 

419
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,320
of forbidden Psalm with space 
Penguin and obviously a lot of 

420
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:06,120
mothership stuff too. 
But I mean, it's been a while 

421
00:25:06,120 --> 00:25:08,960
since I think you've did like a 
big burst of mothership stuff. 

422
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:13,600
Is there a expectation of more 
like third party liminal horror 

423
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,960
stuff like like Sean, like Seth 
Sings coming out? 

424
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,840
Like do you have like a docket 
of more third party stuff 

425
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,280
planned with the deluxe or is it
just kind of like as people 

426
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,920
approach it with things? 
It's just kind of as people 

427
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,160
approach with things, a lot of 
folks are DIY ING it and, you 

428
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,680
know, getting it done, which is 
great and things like that. 

429
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:34,760
And there's a there's a slew of 
third party content for LH, 

430
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,240
which is really great. 
But now I happen to work with 

431
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:41,440
Seth on some other projects and 
he had this one and came up with

432
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:46,040
it and it was easy enough to get
done up and within a certain 

433
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,560
amount of time to get it on the 
release cycle schedule and 

434
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:53,200
everything else like that. 
So that's the, the big, not 

435
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,600
even, it's not even a secret, 
but we've got like a four month 

436
00:25:55,600 --> 00:26:00,880
cycle here for final production.
So folks normally bring stuff in

437
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,200
a pretty ready form. 
And then we got to solicit it to

438
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,960
our distributors and make sure 
that they know that in four 

439
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,040
months you'll be able to 
purchase this to resell to 

440
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:14,000
stores and things like that. 
And then we've got, during that 

441
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,520
four months, we've got, you 
know, time for a back and forth 

442
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,080
clean up, editing pass 
proofreading, anything else like

443
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,720
that, any final tweaks, any art 
and stuff like that. 

444
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,920
A barcode. 
I can't tell you the times I've 

445
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,880
almost forgotten a barcode. 
You would, you would think that 

446
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,560
you would not do that. 
Now I have like sticky notes 

447
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:37,320
that say, you know, remember the
barcode, which is kind of an 

448
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:41,840
important thing to do. 
And then to actually get it 

449
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,360
printed and make sure 
everything's good with the print

450
00:26:44,360 --> 00:26:46,440
run. 
And then Debbie has to pack it 

451
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,080
up and wrap it up. 
And then we got to send it out 

452
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:52,480
to our distributors and to our, 
you know, Internet Internet web 

453
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:58,360
store purchasers takes about 
four months for for on that side

454
00:26:58,360 --> 00:27:03,160
of things, let alone the the 
time it takes to actually build 

455
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:04,560
a thing before that. 
So. 

456
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,120
Yeah. 
So if someone comes to you and 

457
00:27:13,120 --> 00:27:15,680
was like, it's like, Hey, Space 
Penguin, I have this thing 

458
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:19,840
that's like 90% done. 
The the if you guys are like 

459
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,880
this actually fits our thing, 
Sure, let's do this. 

460
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,720
It's a bit like a four month 
turn around basically from from 

461
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,920
when they when they touch base 
with you to to potentially 

462
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:33,440
having it like out and about. 
Yeah, 4, four months for longer.

463
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,240
It really depends on the release
schedule and what else we have. 

464
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,560
Like I've got the next four 
months planned out thus far for 

465
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,520
Zenes and things like that, and 
I'll be signing up the end of 

466
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:46,240
the year, probably at Gary 
Connor the week after when I get

467
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,840
back and making sure all that 
stuff's going on. 

468
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:53,720
So yeah, it's weird having 
things planned out that far in 

469
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,680
advance, but it's how one makes 
it work, so. 

470
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,680
Yeah, it's definitely, I mean, 
we we we planned out like half a

471
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,720
week before most of the time 
because it's a lot of time just 

472
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:05,280
like, shit, what were we doing 
again this week? 

473
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:06,600
And it's like, I don't know, we 
haven't picked it. 

474
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:11,360
It's Tuesday. 
So four months would be a cool 

475
00:28:11,360 --> 00:28:13,640
thing out. 
I know we started the show. 

476
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:17,640
I'm sorry. 
I know we started talking about 

477
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:23,120
Gary Con a little bit. 
What what other cons that are 

478
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:26,440
usually the big cons that you 
hit through the year, whether as

479
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:30,640
just a participant or as now you
know, Space Penguin? 

480
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,320
We go to Gen. 
Con every year because it's big 

481
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,040
and it's fun and you get to see 
the most people. 

482
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:43,640
We go to Pax U, Pax Unplugged in
Philly in December and then we 

483
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:49,720
do a local to US, one called 
Quest Con Orlando and they're in

484
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,520
their fourth year. 
It's a small show. 

485
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:56,440
It's growing every year. 
They're getting more, more of 

486
00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:00,200
the stuff that people want at 
cons, like more autograph booths

487
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,920
and, and big names. 
Like that's how you, you build 

488
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,800
up a con, you bring in names 
around it and stuff like that. 

489
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:13,400
And that Quest cons also 
attached to Crucible, which is a

490
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:19,320
big 40K skirmish tournament like
Warhammer tournament and stuff 

491
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,280
like that. 
So there's a lot of that that 

492
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:25,800
goes on that weekend. 
So those are the four shows that

493
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:34,200
we hit and then I dearly I would
love to it's someday my dream 

494
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:38,120
con is it with if it ever just 
falls perfectly right, it kind 

495
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,880
of falls sometimes on my 
birthday is to get the game hole

496
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:45,440
con, which is kind of the most 
northern one in Minneapolis. 

497
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:53,200
I think it's in Minneapolis now.
I say that and I have to look it

498
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,720
up. 
I don't know that one. 

499
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,720
It's in Madison, WI See, I 
wasn't even in the right state. 

500
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:05,040
We go and we go to trade shows 
like ACD Games Day, which is 

501
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,560
also in Madison. 
That's more to meet our 

502
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:12,720
distributors. 
That's that's more work work 

503
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:16,960
related than it is fun time. 
Chill out, enjoy stuff. 

504
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:20,040
So, but The One Show that we 
table out is Quest Con Orlando. 

505
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:24,160
It's just a matter of logistics 
and time and travel and, and 

506
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,320
transporting the product and 
being able to get it there and 

507
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,760
make it sense for you to have 
that booth all weekend as you're

508
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:35,880
selling stuff. 
So it's, it's a, it's a, it's a 

509
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,480
weird, it's a weird business to 
be in on that side of things 

510
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,000
because you have to have that 
con presence and you have to 

511
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,360
have product at the shows if you
can. 

512
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:48,000
So you just do the best you can.
We work out a lot of third party

513
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,400
deals with other places that are
going to be there that will 

514
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:55,080
carry certain products. 
We work with Gahina Gaming to 

515
00:30:55,080 --> 00:31:00,680
have like live role-playing, 
like actual sessions and stuff 

516
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,640
like that. 
Like we've got four shows this 

517
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,880
year that we're going to have, 
we're going to have like a total

518
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:13,080
of like 96 hours worth of 
liminal horror at some of these 

519
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:14,680
shows. 
So that's going to be pretty 

520
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,720
fun. 
Like run run by actual pro pro 

521
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:21,960
DMS who are familiar with the 
product and I'm familiar with 

522
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:25,200
the content and stuff like that,
which is pretty great. 

523
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:31,520
I'd love to GoPro as Adm, you 
know, I'd love to be a 

524
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:35,600
professional. 
I only ever played this. 

525
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,840
Yeah. 
You just, I mean, the, we know a

526
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,440
bunch of people that are 
professional gyms or people that

527
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:45,720
we're aware of, you know, just 
go to startplaying.com, whatever

528
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:50,320
and become a professional. 
A James does it, W Franks does 

529
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,360
it. 
There's a bunch of people that 

530
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:56,200
that do. 
I mean, I think Josh, Josh does 

531
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,240
does it as well. 
Josh Domansky, if I'm not 

532
00:31:58,280 --> 00:31:59,840
mistaken. 
Yeah. 

533
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:01,760
I'd pay him. 
Yeah. 

534
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,480
You can do it. 
You can do it to like I did it 

535
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:08,400
for several years for Goodman 
Games running DCC. 

536
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:13,480
If you run 16 hours. 
I mean it depends on the 

537
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,320
company, but back when I used to
do it, it was run 16 hours. 

538
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:21,040
So run 4/4 hour games. 
So run 1/4 hour game a day or 

539
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:24,960
two 4 hour games on one day and 
then you know, 4 hour, 4 hour. 

540
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:29,840
Give yourself a whole day of 
just not doing anything and they

541
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:33,400
cover your badge or part of your
hotel room. 

542
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,840
It just kind of depends, you 
know, each, every company is 

543
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,240
different. 
So because you're giving your 

544
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,800
time to do that and so you're 
getting reimbursed and and 

545
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,640
expenses essentially. 
So, yeah. 

546
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:52,360
Sounds cool, yeah. 
I really think I really want to 

547
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,680
do PAX again this year. 
I know you guys said that you 

548
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:59,720
guys are a maybe because of the 
whole marathon thing, but I 

549
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,080
think if I do PAX again this 
year, I really want to probably 

550
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,400
at least do Gen. 
Con and PAX next year. 

551
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:07,120
A lot of people love Gary Conn 
though. 

552
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:11,280
It's fun, it's a good show. 
It's smaller, you just go to get

553
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,400
your badge quick when they sell 
out. 

554
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:18,320
And housing is always a struggle
there because the hotel itself 

555
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,120
is built, sells out pretty 
quickly. 

556
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,960
Like this was the first year in 
eight years I managed to get a 

557
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:29,400
room. 
So, but then I'm going to be, 

558
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,760
I'm going to be bunking with 
the, with the DCC gang. 

559
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,040
I actually traded my room off to
somebody else. 

560
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,360
So that was easy, which was 
good. 

561
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:42,520
But getting like it's, it's a 
small show and it's kind of 

562
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,320
growing and it's kind of 
outgrown that space a little bit

563
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,120
that it's in. 
It's really, really tight. 

564
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:50,800
So, but there's not not really 
another place to do it. 

565
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:56,240
So I'm sure that their board of 
directors like has to go through

566
00:33:56,240 --> 00:34:00,000
this same story every year and 
figure it out, you know, but 

567
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,800
they make it work. 
So, and the best part is, is you

568
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,360
get to do the jousting 
tournament, which is free and 

569
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:08,239
you can actually just joust with
people. 

570
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:14,040
You got like little horses and 
then you move up and you joust 

571
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:15,440
with people. 
It's pretty fun. 

572
00:34:18,199 --> 00:34:21,280
Like like actual little horses 
and actual jousting or is it 

573
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,320
some type of like on a bike 
situation? 

574
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,239
Like what do you? 
Mean no, it's like it's like on 

575
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,199
a table. 
It's like, oh, there's an open 

576
00:34:28,199 --> 00:34:31,360
jousting tournament that runs 
all week using the OD and D or 

577
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,080
chainmail. 
I don't even remember where 

578
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:37,560
these jousting rules came from, 
but they're pretty fun. 

579
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,800
I'm sure some eagle eyed 
listener would tell us where 

580
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:44,920
eagle eared listener would tell 
us where those jousting rules 

581
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,719
came from. 
One of the old books. 

582
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,120
It's Gary Connor. 
I was going to say it's go. 

583
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,440
It's probably assume it's 
probably OD and your chain. 

584
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,600
What is it? 
Isn't just the the rules in OD 

585
00:34:54,639 --> 00:34:57,320
and D just chainmail combat 
rules anyway? 

586
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:02,280
Sort of see, I'm now I'm now I'm
talking out of my ass because I 

587
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,560
don't know positively for sure. 
They're modified. 

588
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:08,120
It's all modified. 
It's all, it's all thrown 

589
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,400
together. 
It's all first to publish and 

590
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:12,320
things like that. 
So. 

591
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:15,400
We got to go over it at some 
point. 

592
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,960
I know there's. 
I've never read chainmail so. 

593
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:22,360
I haven't read all of it, you 
know, how have have you ever 

594
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:26,240
read Delving Deeper Jerk? 
Is that a thing that you 

595
00:35:26,240 --> 00:35:28,400
actually? 
That's the rule set that we use 

596
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:31,560
for Luke's sacrifice. 
Game is delving deeper. 

597
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,560
OK. 
Because it's basically just like

598
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:38,640
a a better put together reprint 
of like Chainmail and OD and D, 

599
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:40,560
isn't it? 
It's pretty clean, yeah. 

600
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:43,840
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I have. 
I have that. 

601
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:47,720
I know Chow uses does that a lot
for some solo stuff too. 

602
00:35:47,720 --> 00:35:49,680
It's something that I've always 
wanted to kind of dig into a 

603
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,040
little bit. 
Maybe we'll take a gander in 

604
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:55,720
there at some point. 
Yeah, delving deeper is the rule

605
00:35:55,720 --> 00:35:59,480
set that we currently use for 
the Wednesday Sacrifice games 

606
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,120
when Luke's running, and they're
pretty. 

607
00:36:02,240 --> 00:36:04,440
It's pretty fun. 
It's pretty stripped back. 

608
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,920
It's quite easy. 
It's quite easy to adjudicate 

609
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:11,280
things if it's not in there. 
It's meant to be open. 

610
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:15,440
It's not. 
It's not. 

611
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:20,120
It's not extensively rules for 
everything you know or rulings 

612
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:23,520
for everything like AD and D 
becomes so. 

613
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:29,280
Yeah, which is like, it's funny 
because we went over like fuck, 

614
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:34,000
what's the Neon Lords? 
And remember, we were like, 

615
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,520
like, not that we were so 
surprised by it, but the rules 

616
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:38,680
were like, good. 
It's like, 'cause it's just abx 

617
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:40,560
hack, whatever. 
But then you weren't there for 

618
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,200
Hyperborea, which is like an AD 
and D hack. 

619
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:46,080
And I was like, man, Neon Lords 
is actually really neat and this

620
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,080
is cool and like how I like 
games. 

621
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:51,280
And then I read Hyperborea and I
was like, oh, this is really not

622
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:54,160
how I like games. 
I really understand like the OD 

623
00:36:54,240 --> 00:36:59,560
and D versus AD and D kind of or
BX versus AD and D take on it, 

624
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,680
but. 
And it all depends on the the 

625
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:06,160
handle of the person you know 
facilitating the game. 

626
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:10,280
The DMI played in a long term 
Hyperborea game. 

627
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:14,160
That game from what I understand
has been going on for like 15 

628
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:20,200
years and the Hyperborea has 
been the current set rule set 

629
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:25,560
for a lot of those years. 
I it's the game's actually going

630
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,360
on. 
It starts in like an hour and it

631
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:31,800
runs for like 6 hours on Sunday.
It's my friend handy haverstacks

632
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,560
game. 
I play, I play with them 

633
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,040
occasionally I'll make a guest 
appearance. 

634
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:42,080
During COVID I played with them 
every week for, you know, a year

635
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:43,760
or so. 
Got my love. 

636
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:45,560
My got my wizard up to 4th 
level. 

637
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:49,400
And then I went away for an 
episode and somebody else played

638
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:54,480
my wizard and killed my wizard, 
which it was like, it's so hard 

639
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:56,720
to get to me. 
It's so hard to get Wizards 

640
00:37:56,720 --> 00:37:58,760
worked out. 
It really is so. 

641
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,240
I think we've heard this before.
I would I would never let 

642
00:38:01,240 --> 00:38:06,680
someone like I don't know. 
Nope, that would that would that

643
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:10,760
would piss me off question so. 
I don't mind true play like 

644
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:12,600
that. 
That's it's, it's pretty fun. 

645
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:15,720
You can avenge yourself. 
You can wait until they're 

646
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:17,640
they're sick and you can play 
their character. 

647
00:38:17,720 --> 00:38:20,920
Be like I got you now. 
I stabbed myself in the throat. 

648
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:27,960
No question for you as far as so
we've been tinkering with an 

649
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:31,240
idea that I won't I won't 
necessarily blast out to 

650
00:38:31,240 --> 00:38:33,880
everybody right now. 
So this would be a little teaser

651
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:37,280
for for the people to check out 
the the not cat chats episodes 

652
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:41,240
if you were to not not DCC, 
because it's not an older game. 

653
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:48,840
If you were to pick like an 
older game that like to like 

654
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:57,240
deep dive, what would you pick? 
Something like pre, I don't 

655
00:38:57,240 --> 00:38:59,760
know, like set 70s or 80s 
basically. 

656
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,400
So these. 
Are classic or foundational? 

657
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,800
Like a first edition of a game 
besides Traveller. 

658
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,800
OK, that doesn't count. 
Why does why does Classic 

659
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:20,160
Traveller not count? 
Oh, Predator, the food chain 

660
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:24,480
card game. 
We could deep dive on that one. 

661
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:26,560
How about a tabletop 
role-playing game? 

662
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:33,280
I mean, I like delving deeper. 
Does that count? 

663
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:38,240
I mean, it's a retro clone, so. 
Yeah, I think, I feel like if we

664
00:39:38,240 --> 00:39:40,400
were going to do that, we would 
probably have to just get the 

665
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:43,760
PDFs of OD and D though and just
actually go through the the 

666
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:44,640
original. 
ODD, Yeah. 

667
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:51,240
Yeah, what you know. 
We always good. 

668
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,360
That is the thing we could do. 
We've been. 

669
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,800
Teasing. 
I grew up playing Basic expert 

670
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:04,480
D&D, so Red Book, Blue Book, I 
enjoy those, yeah. 

671
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:11,480
So we've, we've been toying with
the idea of, of basically doing 

672
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:15,160
kind of like what we do on the 
show, but not scoring it well, 

673
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:19,400
potentially bringing on guests 
and doing like a, a like an old 

674
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:24,600
foundational game and talking 
not only like deep dive in these

675
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:28,720
older games, but also having 
discussions about like how the 

676
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,160
this game might have like 
impacted current stuff. 

677
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,680
So if it did like first edition 
Gamma world or something, for 

678
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,920
example, going over stuff like 
that. 

679
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:40,240
My personal one that I've got 
close to my heart that I want to

680
00:40:40,240 --> 00:40:45,360
find someone who's actually run 
is bunnies and Burrows is one 

681
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:47,520
that I really want to to check 
out. 

682
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:51,200
But yeah, that's an idea that 
we've been tossing around. 

683
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:55,440
That's a that's a spoiler for 
for our fans at check out the 

684
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:58,880
not cat chats episodes for for 
potential stuff coming up soon. 

685
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:07,280
Is, is, is some episodes like 
that Maybe, but because we just 

686
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:10,760
don't, we don't as far as like 
our show goes with the reviews 

687
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:12,800
we do, you know, modern indie 
games and stuff like that. 

688
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,320
I don't think it's kind of Fair 
to put like a game from like 

689
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:21,320
1976 up against our modern or 
whatever. 

690
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,400
Yeah. 
Yeah, I see what you're saying. 

691
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:26,920
Yeah, because I mean a lot of 
those older games, just like the

692
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,000
way books were put together is 
not even the same, you know, 

693
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,920
like art was very different. 
A lot of it's very like almost 

694
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:35,160
magazine like with like the the 
layout format. 

695
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:37,480
Black and white and stuff. 3 
columns sometime. 

696
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:40,480
Yeah, so. 
And sometimes like dense as 

697
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,160
fuck. 
I mean, it's like the old, these

698
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:44,960
old dragon magazines and stuff 
like that. 

699
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:49,440
They're still a lot of a lot of 
what was in here. 

700
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,280
Look, I mean, here's an example 
of three column on one page and 

701
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:56,680
two column on another page that 
was translated over to the 

702
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:58,000
books. 
I mean, it breaks it up. 

703
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,760
It it's also there's like widows
and orphans left and right. 

704
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:08,480
Like they weren't, they weren't 
really concerned with that. 

705
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:11,760
It's just because no one, no 
one, I guess no one really 

706
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,000
caught it. 
So. 

707
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:17,920
I also think people had Blogger 
attention spans back then and 

708
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:22,080
they could read that much 
writing across 2 pages and and 

709
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:27,600
not freak out but myself 
included in that. 

710
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:41,080
But but yeah, yeah, my, my sick 
brain just completely turned 

711
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:45,920
off. 
So that was the extent of, of 

712
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:50,120
where that thought took me. 
What do we have? 

713
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,720
I know we talked a lot. 
I think last time we were on 

714
00:42:53,720 --> 00:42:57,160
about like the plans coming 
forward with Karen and 

715
00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:58,600
everything. 
Oh, I had a question. 

716
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:03,960
Wood pulp, a lot of the wood 
pulp we get in America comes 

717
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:08,800
from Canada. 
Have you heard any rumblings 

718
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,760
about paper prices with this 
tariff stuff? 

719
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:14,760
I can tell you the paper prices 
are going up already. 

720
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:18,920
We use Mixam to print most of 
our zines and things like that. 

721
00:43:19,240 --> 00:43:24,160
And this last week I did a 
reprint of the Bloom for Liminal

722
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:28,160
Horror because it was running 
low here and the price was 

723
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:33,800
noticeably, it was probably 
about 16% was what I saw. 

724
00:43:35,720 --> 00:43:39,120
So Yep, Yep. 
And that's Mixam. 

725
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:45,200
Mixam fluctuates wildly and is 
is very hot to the touch it, so 

726
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:47,120
to speak. 
Their prices are always kind of 

727
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:51,040
up there and kind of just do a 
thing. 

728
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:58,240
But yeah, we'll see how it goes.
Stay in the course, keeping it 

729
00:43:58,240 --> 00:44:04,000
small, trying to trying to 
trying to not do extra stuff 

730
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:06,640
that but that's kind of how 
we've always done our crowd 

731
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:10,840
funds is not have a lot of extra
stuff like we just with 

732
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:16,280
survivors of the core wars. 
We've got our actual we've got 

733
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:18,960
our first patch that we're 
doing, you know, so we're going 

734
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:22,840
to see how that goes and see how
stickers and things like that. 

735
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:25,040
We've made stickers for 
ourselves before, but never 

736
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:28,800
really for as a reward for 
crowdfund. 

737
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:31,640
So we're going to see how that 
goes with manufacturing all that

738
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:34,960
stuff and rolling that into 
packaging, getting it out the 

739
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:37,960
door and making sure that people
are paying the rights amounts of

740
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:40,720
stuff like that, you know, for 
shipping so that we're not 

741
00:44:40,720 --> 00:44:42,680
getting screwed on shipping and 
things like that. 

742
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:44,840
Shipping is the biggest thing 
that's going to go up. 

743
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:51,320
So I know one of the last times 
there was a big issue, it was 

744
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:55,160
actually like a paper shortage. 
Yes, that was during COVID. 

745
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:57,680
Yeah. 
So it doesn't seem like 

746
00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:00,320
necessarily there might there 
would be a paper shortage as 

747
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:03,120
much as just the cost of the 
paper because of the tariffs 

748
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:05,920
will go up. 
So at least like it'll be 

749
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:07,800
available even if it costs a 
little bit more. 

750
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:11,120
So that's good at least. 
And a lot of you guys's big 

751
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:15,600
crowdfunding as I guess before 
living a horror happens are 

752
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:19,120
already printed and they're done
and in the process of moving. 

753
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:22,560
So hopefully the worst of it's 
not going to hit you with that. 

754
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:30,600
That is where I think my brain 
went as far as paper tariffs 

755
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:35,120
that I'm curious about. 
It really it's one of those you 

756
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:38,840
just got to pay attention to 
what you're doing and make sure 

757
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:42,600
that you're adjusting your 
margins and you're getting re 

758
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:46,880
quotes in a timely manner. 
You can't really expect a quote 

759
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:51,440
that you had from even a month 
ago to be relative to now. 

760
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:53,480
You kind of need to go the 
quote. 

761
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:56,840
And before you go to crowd fund,
like we're getting ready to go 

762
00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:58,680
to crowd fund. 
I've got, I'm going to run 

763
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:02,600
probably 6 different quotes for 
the Liminal Horror deluxe book 

764
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:06,880
just to be sure that I'm making 
sure, you know, that's dealing 

765
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:11,160
with six different printers and 
then finding out which one can 

766
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:14,280
actually handle doing it in 
timely manner and things like 

767
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:18,400
that. 
So it's fun, this job that I do,

768
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:19,920
it's fun. 
It's not fun. 

769
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:22,880
No, it is fun. 
I love what you do and you'll 

770
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:25,720
never work a day in your life. 
And I really, I had asked myself

771
00:46:25,720 --> 00:46:27,120
that question a little while 
back. 

772
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:28,440
I was like, do you still love 
what you do? 

773
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:33,040
And I still love what I do. 
Like, well, good, because I want

774
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:36,960
someone in 10 years or 15 years,
if we're still around or if 

775
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:40,400
we're not around or whatever to 
unearth something that we 

776
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:43,840
published and just be and have 
that look like on their shelves 

777
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:48,240
and just be like, yeah, that's 
really cool to roll to roll back

778
00:46:48,240 --> 00:46:53,080
to your to to your answer. 
The answer it's sitting right 

779
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:55,880
here on my desk. 
Are you from her system that 

780
00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:57,760
that we would want to deep dive 
on? 

781
00:46:58,160 --> 00:46:59,760
Yeah. 
Yeah, which is just a 

782
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:02,480
suggestion. 
Guy Realms of Jaroon, I can 

783
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:05,840
cover Jaroon for you if you 
want, yeah. 

784
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:10,240
Realms of Jaroon Sky realms 
it's. 

785
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:14,160
It's not it's, it's a, it's a, 
it's a late 80s, nineties thing,

786
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:16,320
OK. 
Fire. 

787
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:20,520
It's got some pretty solid 
character creation. 

788
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:28,280
There's a lot of stats and 
there's a lot of there's a lot 

789
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:32,520
of extra stuff as one would 
expect from a 90s RPG. 

790
00:47:33,240 --> 00:47:37,320
But yeah, you can still get 
these books. 

791
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:42,080
Sometimes Chess X will have 
these book sets where you can 

792
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:48,720
get the the soft cover, which is
a combination of the of all the 

793
00:47:48,720 --> 00:47:52,240
rules. 
See my copies even annotated. 

794
00:47:52,240 --> 00:47:57,640
Look at that annotated. 
I didn't even know chess X was a

795
00:47:57,720 --> 00:48:01,720
like published stuff. 
They published stuff with. 

796
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:07,760
They published this for a while.
They published the 3rd edition 

797
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:10,080
in 1992. 
Yeah. 

798
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:13,320
Which edition would you suggest?
We'd have. 

799
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:16,640
The first, no, just grab. 
Just grab. 

800
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:18,360
The third one because it's the 
easiest. 

801
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:22,200
Again, these are kind of rough 
to read, and they're kind of 

802
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:29,240
organized very, very strangely, 
but they have killer art. 

803
00:48:29,240 --> 00:48:35,520
Look at that. 
Yeah, man, I miss when people I 

804
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:37,640
miss. 
Miles Ted As for those watching 

805
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:43,840
at home, Miles Ted as. 
The guy with ABS in the new Top 

806
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:47,560
Gun movie. 
I miss. 

807
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:50,560
I miss when people paid 
illustrators and we had really 

808
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:56,320
amazing illustrators, you know, 
not that we don't currently, but

809
00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:59,560
not to the not to the level 
Someone recently posted on Blue 

810
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:03,640
Sky, just like randomly, like, 
just like the ads that were like

811
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:07,000
1950s magazines and how just 
insane the illustration was for 

812
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:09,880
just like an ad, you know, and 
it's like, well, they would give

813
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:16,360
the illustrators money and time 
and that would be cool if, if 

814
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:21,480
people still did that. 
All right, my brain is breaking.

815
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:29,040
So we're let's, let's let's call
that not Cat chat episode 10 the

816
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:32,280
flu game. 
And that'll be us. 

817
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:38,360
What do do we have a little a 
little little preview for for? 

818
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:42,600
Next month, next month will be 
will be April. 

819
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:46,840
So it will be the endless course
from Between the Stars that we 

820
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:50,640

crowd fun, but is actually going
