I hereby create the “Best Podcast Snippet” award and simultaneously nominate the Durham 3 Sign in Stranger journal reading for the honor.
That has to be my favorite podcast moment ever.

Oh! Also: Joe is cool. He is a welcome addition to the show. Even when I talk to him indirectly like this for some odd reason.

Thanks, John. We really liked reading the journals at the end of each session. It felt like the right thing to do.
And Joe is cool. I’m glad we’ve got him around.

We joked that our journal reading as about as close to actual play you’re ever going to hear. It really is actual play, and the recording is the first time we have heard each other’s journal entries – remember that in SIS other people’s journal comments about you can be invoked for extra cards in future conflicts.

Hey guys, I’m like a month and a half behind on your show, but I just had to say that one of the first games I played was freeform TMNT, too, Remi! When I was 10 or so, I got what turns out to be one of the sourcebooks on a trip to PA, and had no clue (or care!) what any of the numbers meant. We just kind of sat around saying what we wanted to do and be (my brother had an obsession with being a mutant osprey, and none of us knew what the hell that was). Weird.

Frank! That is hilarious and awesome.
If we’re ever in the same room together we should totally play My Life With Master mapped onto a TMNT game, where you’re mutant freaks in the service of a wicked sensei. Tear it up!
