Club PA Newsletter #80 (Patreon)

OCTOBER

We wrote this a little while ago, obviously, when this was the thing that was happening.  What usually happens in these cases is that there's an inciting event, and then you come to find out that this motherfucker was always doing incredibly reprehensible shit - at least as bad as anything we just learned - and that a lot of people knew and it didn't seem to matter.

One of the things I find very confusing about being a conscious entity in the dumbest version of reality possible is that I'm constantly being told that I am a bad person, or that I should feel bad, but I didn't do this!  You probably haven't either.  So maybe we're both doing pretty good all things considered. Or maybe the bar is much lower than we ever dreamed, in which case, we're doing even better than we thought.

We should be recording another DLC podcast for you this week, look forward to that, and if you want to get way, way down in the weeds on some Mage: The Ascension shit - recall that mage was the first Roleplaying Game I ever tricked Mike into playing - then I pray that the fully two podcasts I recorded with your host Patrick Groome going into way much detail on my character will find you well.  I thought I might need the Newsletter or Club PA in general to "keep me honest" on Lexcalibur, but when I started writing it I sorta couldn't stop and now it's almost done.  There's a section of Eyrewood poems, completed ones based on the little snips of them that have showed up in comics, and they're introduced with this little poem:

Welcome To The Eyrewood

Imagine a wood,

That knows its a wood,

And think how it might feel about that.

Picture a forest,

That doesn't adore us.

"Humans? I could do without that."

A place where the toys

For young girls and boys

Are a sword, or a verse from a song,

And picture a world,

Where young boys and girls

Are the heroes that move it along.

So, yes.  I'm having a lot of fun.  I can't wait to introduce you to the rest.

See you on the other side,
