Married...with Content

Part 2 of our discussion of the Fantastic Four: Hereafter storyline does not talk about the story at all and jumps right into an uninterrupted hour-long discussion about the hosts' and guests' religions, lack of them, or status in-between, in the least judgemental, least sanctimoneus of this kind of conversation that we've ever been a part of. We each  found this discussion informative and enlight...

The Summer of Dragonlance continues as Layne, Jon, and Jon discuss chapters 13-16 of Dragons of Autumn Twilight! With discussions of the logistics of hauling around a giant wicker dragon, unintential dark humor while describing a scene where a character gets bathed in acid, and complex relations between people and gods reduced to the poem "Footprints", there's a lot going on in this one. (This pod...
