11. The Call-In Episode + A Poem and a Song

No interview today but I respond to the very kind messages from Spencer of Keep off the Borderlands 

https://anchor.fm/free-thrall

...and Barney from Loco Ludus

https://anchor.fm/loco-ludus

The poem I read at the end is Bogland by Seamus Heaney, one of the greatest poets in the English language.

All music in this episode is recorded by my alt, Youssef Ifscapulet, apart from a hint of death grips.

Death grips do not endorse this podcast but your mum does.

6. Breaking Up is Hard to Do - a conversation with Alex

I've been running a regular (ish) drop-in game on my server https://discord.gg/BdasKhNrBj

Recently one of my regular(ish) players messaged me to explain that they weren't happy with how the game was going and why they felt they weren't able to continue playing. While this was upsetting, I really appreciated it and asked Alex back to more fully explain himself and why I thinks PARIAH is such a terrible game!

UPDATE: twice in this episode I say PAGODA when I mean PERGOLA. Apologies: I have designed and built pergolas (pergolae?) and lived in a land full of pagodas (also, many pergolas) and not sure why I made that error... apologies!
