Heartbreaker2196 wrote (01:37a LST): I love Starcadia so much. Now there's a girl who knows what it takes to get out there and GET THINGS DONE. I knew she'd be able to swoop in and prove that Rembrandt's claim to the throne is  real. What does it matter if some stupid old elves happened to be in this part of space thousands of years ago anyway. What matters is who is here NOW, not who USED to be h...

We're doin' a cyberpunk season and that means Luke won't shut the fuck up about his favorite collectible card game! Luckily, Ty has immediately gotten deep into it and ALSO won't shut the fuck up about it! Iris would prefer we shut the fuck up about it and play Magic instead but we're not! check out the Eidolon Netrunner League thread in the eidolon channel at bit.ly/aediscord  to hang out and pla...

Heartbreaker2196 wrote (03:52a LST): GREAT episode of The Courtship this week for TRUE BELIEVERS in REAL ROMANCE. It's so obvious that Starcadia and Rembrandt are made for each other! I don't know why anyone even brings up Aurelia anymore. So WHAT if they shared another “meaningful glance” at each other! I don't care that it happened right as Remby went in to kiss her! As you can see on the scoreb...

We've reached the end of yet another long and winding road! The cast of Eidolon DISCO sits down one last time to reflect on the last two years of the show and to answer your questions!

I was sitting and waiting Just thinking, contemplating My life when I heard the phone I picked up the receiver And I did not believe her When I heard a voice say you're not alone When I am down and I am blue All I have to do Is close my eyes and think of you And the world is new Oh, life was getting hectic And things were unexpected When I first received your call But now it is the best thing That...

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart Kept tryin' hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart And I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself I used to cry... but now I hold my head up high! And you see me Somebody new I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you And so you felt like droppin' in and just expect me to be free? Well now I'm saving all my lovin'...

Happy Halloween! Luke convinced a few members of the cast to sit down and watch one of his favorite John Carpenter movies, which also served as a major point of inspiration for Eidolon DISCOSKA! Wouldn't it be fucked up and weird if a media sensation drove an impassable wedge between our collective consensus on the nature of reality, leading to the human race murdering itself????
