Weaponized Hospitality ❦

“Remarkable! I’ve only seen that color once before… in a pair of gems set deep within the pupils of an entity named Esthanas. Last I knew, they were living under the light of the Silver.”

In which the Proprietor tells tales of one of his favorite half-worlds, a place of distant memory and deep dreams, far beneath the surface of the sea.

Richard Kreutz-Landry and Rich Howard stop in to discuss the impending Kickstarter for Descent into Midnight — which you heard about long ago, in episode 5.

The discussion also winds (inevitably) toward memory, origami, hospitality, technology, live theatre, and bedsheets.

SHOW NOTES
Find out more about Descent into Midnight at DescentIntoMidnight.com, which will soon redirect to a shiny new website, or follow the DiM Twitter feed (@DiMRPG).

In the meantime, feast your eyes on the recently-announced cover for the book, featuring lovely artwork by Devon George (@DGeorgeStudios).

Richard’s site, OrigamiGaming.com, features thoughts and musings and… origami diagrams! Don’t miss the seminal TIE Fighter he spoke about in the interview.

I stumbled into Secrets of the Magdalen Laundries in October 2000, where it was first exhibited by Gallery Henoch on W 25th St in Manhattan.

The installation was designed by Diane Fenster, with audio design by Michael McNabb. You can see some images and video on the exhibition’s page — and I highly recommend it. Haunting.

This Wikipedia article, or this one, are a fine place to start learning about the Magdalen(e) Laundries.

Rich Howard has several works published on DriveThruRPG, and a list of podcast appearances pinned to his Twitter account.

You can find This is a Game About Fishing, and other games by Taylor LaBresh (@LeviathanFiles), on his Itch page.
