JoeMagician will be our guest for the April 23rd episode, so how about we pick something fitting?
Let's go with... A Theme of Dreams.
Given the Targaryen vibe, we'll also say the Poll Must Have Three Choices
This week is House Celtigar, and there is no livestream Sunday the 30th (we'll be at IaFCon).<...
In this episode, voted on by patrons, we talk about House Celtigar, the Red Crabs of Valyria, rulers of Claw Isle, said to own both a Valyrian steel axe and a kraken-summoning horn!

Y'all voted between four magical & obscure locations and chose The Free City of Qohor! So let's talk blood magic, Valyrian steel, and other wholesome things.

We won't have Sean in this episode, so let's do a spoilery topic for House of the Dragon - the life of Cregan Stark. We will be meeting Cregan in HOTD season 2 as a much younger man!

A fun pivot away from our scheduled episode... Theories are always a good time, and you've given us so much to work with.

We had to reschedule the planned 3/26 episode (date tbd), so let's do part 2 of our Trial By Theory episode. Comment a theory and we shall deliver final judgment! Or a wild guess. (no trial by combat permitted in this one).
2023-03-26 06:04:20 +0000 UTC View PostI'm feeling a worldbuilding topic, shall we?
Let's go with "magical & obscure"

Breaking down the importance, details, participants and impact of the decisive battle during Robert's Rebellion. From Jon Connington to Dany to Barristan to almost every Stark and most of the Lannister POV's, not to mention non-POV's who were there like Wyman Manderly, Roose Bolton and Elder Brother, we have a lot of accounts...

We are joined by Dr. Kavita Mudan Finn for an episode on Mushroom. The man, the myth, the legend...emphasis on myth and legend!

We evaluate a batch of theories sent in by you, including a discussion on what helps makes a quality theory. Good times, fun chats, and some giveaways!

There have been so many great (and Great) bastards with stories ranging from tragic to epic, if not both, and some of them are still ongoing.

Let's do a famous battle episode!
I went back and re-edited the Oakenfist episode from Feb 2019 (almost exactly 4 years old... and pre-covid so it feels like 14 years). This time using editing software we didn't have back then. With all livestreams there's imperfections I can't fix, but it makes for a cleaner and tighter listen, and one I thought would be fun...

The story of Prince Aemon the Dragonknight was too big for us to fit in one episode, but he wasn't too big for the cage that House Wyl put him in... which is where we left you hanging, with Aemon hanging over that pit of vipers. In this episode we discuss his rescue, and his rescue of his rescuer. This is his time as Lord Com...

We left you hanging, with Aemon hanging… still in the year 161, the same year King Daeron was killed, and Aemon captured. Join us for part 2 of our look at Prince Aemon the Dragonknight, this Sunday at 3 pm eastern.

We enter story-mode with this one, so sit back and enjoy (part 1 of) the tale of Prince Aemon the Dragonknight, considered by many to be the perfect knight, but his family life was anything but.
2023-02-06 13:14:12 +0000 UTC View PostSeveral of you should have just gotten messages with your Westorian nicknames, to be displayed on our supporters page, listed at the end of scripted videos, and shouted out on occasion (level dependent).
