Episode 88: Script Justification Technology
May 9th, 2014 | Robin
In the Gaming Hut, Robin asks Ken to specify a suitable period of occult ferment and together they riff it into a DramaSystem Series Pitch.
We unseal the stone door of the Mythology Hut to give Lilith the once-over.
The Cinema Hut joins forces with the Horror Hut as we mull the current cycle of haunting movies.
Finally, we respond to a Justin Mohareb request for Ken’s Time Machine. The suspicious revocation of Richard Nixon’s FBI application sure smells like time stream interference. Did Ken do this, or was it the work of a rogue time effectuator he must now reverse?
It’s yo ho ho and a pocketful of doubloons as Atlas Games surveys the seven seas from the crow’s nest that is our coveted anchor sponsor slot. Parrot on its shoulder, it orders up another special deal for Ken and Robin listeners, this time in the form of their innovative game of piratical nautical warfare, Pieces of Eight.
The Bundle of Holding rejoins us as sponsor with a deal relevant to your specific Ken and Robin needs. Aeons in the making and finally rising, it’s the Trail of Cthulhu Bundle, in eldritch partnership with Pelgrane Press! Get it before it sinks beneath the waves again, on May 12th.

I would like to give you money for the amazing podcast but I wasn’t sure about the best way to do it. It came to me that Patreon with small pay out per episode would be perfect.

Dear Ken and Robin (mostly Robin),
As a long time fan of Feng Shui, I am looking forward to the new edition. I am very curious about the thinking behind the changes in the junctures. Why did you decide to leave 1850 alone, while advancing the ancient and future junctures? And why nuke the Architects out of their future? Do these setting changes relate to any of the mechanical changes in the second edition?
Thanks,
Steve
