Episode 213
Firstly the American team (and Bloodied!) engage in some interesting Maple Heavy tea with a bit of ginger.
Smores, are discussed. As are other girl scout cookies, along with the problems of cookie inflation! Cookies are Dunked, and rated!
Join us as Bloodied, Ghostlyn, and Allegory talk about Final Fantasy, the Importance of Games shops, and indeed all things gaming! So if you ever wanted to know all there is to know about the Final fantasy series stay tuned!
There are a few sound issues with this episode due to recording on a phone and not the giant monolith of doom!
Here we are finally! The initial pod cast wherein I and Bloodied review some very nice tea from Whittards, and also a very fine game with very fiddly to put together miniatures from McVey studios in the form of Battle for Alabaster. I might also let slip that I experienced Homicidal tendencies while trying to glue the miniatures together, but fear not I got over it!
You will note that I haven’t put any music in… You will also note the creaky chairs of doom! This was the first recording we did so please excuse us if we sound a little shaky!
Also in this Episode we discuss why we decided to start a blog/pod cast and list some of our Favourites including (in no particular order):
http://minionsofthemonstermaster.blogspot.co.uk/ The Minions of the Monster Master: Actual plays of many, many, many different games. Presented in an irreverent style that occasionally shades to the anarchic.
http://www.fandible.com/ The Fandible: Purveyors of frankly excellent Actual play pod casts on a vast number of different systems and settings. Their Rogue Trader and Unhallowed Metropolis campaigns in particular are brilliant!
http://www.earwolf.com/show/nerd-poker/ NerdPoker Dungeons and Dragons with Brian Posehn and Friends (and possibly if they pull it off Vin Deisel???) a very old school D&D campaign that has just hit it’s quarter century. Well worth a listen.
The most important thing about making tea is to take your time and Tea made with already boiled water that is only warmi- ish never tastes as good as if you take a little time over it.
Always use freshly drawn water from the cold tap or filter.
Boil the water- As it comes to the boil warm the tea pot or cup with a small amount of water.
Swirl several times to warm and then discard.
Add the tea bag or loose tea, one teaspoon per person and one for the pot is usual.
The Cult of Tea and Dice, where British reviewers drink tea, play RPG’s, and assault your earholes with our opinions on things related to gaming and the sweet nectar of life that is Tea
