12❦ Congratulations & Condolences

“Every once in awhile, the Grey gets it right. That whole thing about 13th floors just… not existing in Shadow hotels? Divine wisdom.”


The Secret Cellar has been absent, for months. Jason explains why, and what next. My deepest gratitude to my guests for bearing with me as I sort this thing out.


Kate Taylor (@tolkientrash) is a linguist who has constructed a language for use within Numenera — Seaspeak, spoken in the Rayskel Cays far to the West of the Steadfast.

Jim Ryan (@otherdoc) has recently been experimenting with Twitch as a medium for live podcasting of his show The CypherCast — you can follow it (and all of Jim’s other wonderful content) on Twitch or in podcast form.

SHOW NOTES

Numenera is a tabletop RPG published by Monte Cook Games, very dear to my heart — it was the game which reconnected me as an adult back to the roleplaying I had loved when I was younger. It recently won the Origins Award for Best Roleplaying Game of 2018.

If you want to buy Kate a coffee (or, likely, an Irish pint) visit her Ko-Fi and do the thing.


Go buy Jim’s novella, Titanic Jocularity! I truly enjoyed it — a ridiculous madcap romp through space that reminded me a lot of Douglas Adams’s work.

Jim mentioned Darcy Ross (@darcylross) and Grant Ellis (@WisePapaGrant) as inspirations to get involved with Twitch streaming, and you should absolutely be following them both. Their creative output is delightful, and they’re both anchors of our community. (Darcy was a key inspiration for this show.)

Life on Marr’d is the stream Jim mentioned in particular.
