Episode 605: Astrophysicists Not Acronym Physicists
June 28th, 2024 | Robin
Beloved Patreon backer Noel Warford summons us to the Gaming Hut, asking how to coax more independence from one’s players.
Estimable backer Kevin Nault pries open the door to the Archaeology Hut to hear the very colorful story, or stories, surrounding the discovery of the Nag Hammadi manuscripts.
The discovery of a planet with a fluffy, cotton candy texture prompts Fun with Science and the riffing of an appropriate space opera scenario.
Finally wondering backer Eric Parks notes that reports of shadow aliens near a Florida mall warrant an excursion into the Eliptony Hut.
