Another quality episode gentlemen! Thank you for touching on Bravemule. I look forward to a more in-depth discussion about it once all three of you have had time to read it. Roland, don’t be discouraged about not knowing what’s going on in the story; it is written in a very stylistic, off-kilter manner. I had to read the whole thing several times through before I felt I had a true grasp of what was going on (and even then I’m sure there’s a bunch of stuff I missed). Also, I feel like quite a bit of the ‘flavor’ of Bravemule is embellishment versus a straight transcription of in-game events. That’s why I would love to hear an interview with the author: to find out how much was taken directly from the game and how much was their own addition.
Anyway, keep up the great work and I look forward to the next episode!
Thanks for checking in again. I think I should add BraveMule to my daily chores. Maybe read a month at a time. I really do like the idea of doing that sort of thing to help yourself dig into the emergent narrative – I might have to try it.. assuming I ever get back to playing more. It’s odd, since we started this podcast I’ve acually *played* DF less than before. I gotta fix that!
Just found this and in the process of catching up. Enjoying every minute of it. You even introduced me to kruggsmash. Keep it up.
Awesome. Glad you’re enjoying it.
