So you've sold your cow for magic beans. You've dutifully planted and watered the beans, kept the dirt free of weeds and built a fence to keep out the rabbits. It soon becomes apparent these beans will not take you to a land in the clouds. What happens instead?

So were we but Shannon brings you behind the scenes and offers up details and bits of lore you either didn't pay attention to or couldn't actually know at the time. It's fascinating to read and an inspiring look back at those early days.
There's a 57 page free preview on the page. Check it out.

All the same things I love in any Actual Play, but if we're gonna be specific to the podcast medium:
- edited out long pauses, math, and uninteresting rules look up moments.
- being able to enjoy it anywhere, especially while doing boring chores!
- generally around 90 minutes, an excellent length!

I just released my "Brief Guide to Writing Short Fiction." It's a solid guide to writing short stories and more; and has a special focus on Sword and Sorcery stories.
It costs $10, which, as a set of instructions to write stories you can sell, is rather inexpensive.
Like and share. That helps!

In your book, do you talk about the pre-history of play?
I've often said, on social media, that in the mid to late 70s it never occurred to me that anyone would want to watch us play but surely there were young kids like me who recorded their games just to laugh at themselves
