Episode 232: Cat Hamlet Half-Elf Robot

March 10th, 2017 | Robin


The Gaming Hut may seem friendly and bucolic, but this time it’s full of danger, as we riff a cast of conspiratorial small town NPCs.

Take your seat and suppress your coughing as the Culture Hut gets classical. Patreon backer Noel Warford asks us for the scoop on such theosophically influenced composers as Henry Cowell, Dane Rudhyar and Leo Ornstein.

In Ask Ken and Robin, Patreon backer Ronan Kennedy seeks advice on running an NPC as a member of the party.

Then we enter the Eliptony Hut, which has been outfitted with an orgone accumulator for our discussion of Wilhelm Reich.

    Great episode. It turns out my wife, she herself descended from danish communists, got Wilhelm Reichs book on facism from an aunt. She tried to read it, but found the 70’ies lingo incomprehensible.

    I am restarting my Prime Directive game with the same group players. Most are in Star Fleet. I was considering running a NPC first officer to the fill in the chain of command. After hearing this podcast, I reconsidered.
