Welcome to Friends of the Table,

0:02

an actual play podcast. focus on critical world

0:04

smart characterization, and fun interaction

0:06

between good friends. friends. I am

0:08

your host, but not really for

0:10

today. I'm really just doing

0:12

a short introduction a I throw

0:15

it over to I throw it over and

0:17

Ali circa 2018. circuit 2018. This is

0:19

a recording that we first

0:21

recorded. This is a game a

0:23

at the table. We first recorded

0:25

We 2018, in 2018, beginning of our

0:28

exclusive, occasionally dipped

0:30

into into Nebel though I don't actually

0:33

don't actually think the words Nibel

0:35

March are said in this recording

0:37

or maybe not even in

0:39

this game in this game. I know

0:41

the March are mentioned here

0:43

along with some other similar

0:45

things things. is a wonderful really

0:47

joyous game of shooting the

0:50

moon. Outlet let who facilitated this

0:52

game knew the big the big

0:54

introduction on that on that. But we

0:56

we just wanted to make sure something was

0:58

in the feed. Over the holidays, in we

1:00

know that a lot of folks We a lot

1:03

of travel of folks do need things to listen

1:05

to during that, during the

1:07

end of the year. that, during

1:09

is a pretty holiday holiday coded

1:11

episode, I think. a really It's

1:13

a really fun little put where

1:15

we'll put the whole arc

1:18

in over the coming weeks.

1:20

weeks. As a lead -up to

1:22

return at the table, at be

1:24

coming to you early coming to

1:26

you early in 2025 with not

1:28

one but two new

1:30

campaigns. I'm not not exactly 100%

1:32

sure. sure. a I have a pretty good

1:35

idea of how we're going to roll

1:37

it out, but going both it out. which

1:39

will be primarily our big which

1:41

will be campaign our a

1:43

play test campaign of

1:45

a game that I

1:47

been working on for

1:50

a few years been and

1:52

off, for a few will

1:54

be off. And that pretty soon.

1:56

soon, even even day with

1:58

with an Ashken. of that game

2:00

of Realis so that people can

2:02

play that and buy that and

2:04

play that and give it. give

2:07

it a shot. It's had lots

2:09

of play testing over the last

2:11

couple of years. I'm really happy

2:13

with where it's at, but obviously

2:15

it needs more play testing and

2:17

so a limited and Ash can

2:19

release a sort of like a

2:21

play test version that's been kind

2:23

of trimmed down to just enough

2:25

to play it without giving away

2:27

the whole all the stuff that

2:29

that you need further testing and

2:31

all the stuff that needs better

2:33

art and all the stuff that

2:35

needs better refinement etc. So I'll

2:37

have more to say about that.

2:39

in an episode zero of Realis.

2:41

And that at least episode zero,

2:43

probably the first arc, might go

2:45

into the main feed. I'm not

2:47

100% sure yet, but that's our

2:49

current plan. And then there will

2:51

also be our, the beginning of

2:53

our Fabula Ultima campaign or the

2:55

whole of our Fabula Ultima campaign

2:57

will continue throughout 2025. Fabula Ultima

2:59

is an incredible RPG by Emmanuel

3:01

Gallato that we have recorded kind

3:03

of, I would say an arc

3:05

and a arc and a half.

3:08

of at this point, but we

3:10

still need to get music, we

3:12

still need to get art, we

3:14

still need to get all sorts

3:16

of, I have to figure out

3:18

what intros look like for that

3:20

season, and so we'll be doing

3:22

that over the coming weeks as

3:24

we get back from the holidays

3:26

and our extended sabbatical. We also,

3:28

I'll say, we will kick that

3:30

off not jumping straight into Fabula

3:32

Ultima, but starting with a game

3:34

called Cartograph, Atlas Edition, a solo

3:36

role-playing game of Mat Making and

3:38

Discovery and Discovery by Brandon. there

3:40

will be a bunch of episodes

3:42

of that as we make one

3:44

of the continents that the fabulous

3:46

ultimate game which is which is

3:48

called Perpetua that's the name of

3:50

this upcoming campaign. We make one

3:52

of the continents that the game

3:54

takes place in along with kind

3:56

of sketching out broader details of

3:58

the world and the history including

4:00

kind of a big premise stuff

4:02

we'll get we'll get explained in

4:04

that world building arc. And so

4:06

that will come out soon, also

4:09

into somewhere into January, potentially into

4:11

February, depending on how long are

4:13

both this and reality take to

4:15

come out. The opening bits of

4:17

reality, the rest of reality, again,

4:19

will be Patreon exclusive. Try to

4:21

think there's any other things. Thank

4:23

you so much for your support

4:25

over the last few months and

4:27

over the last year, and over

4:29

the last 10 years. It has

4:31

been a joy. I recently went

4:33

to Pax Unplugged and met a

4:35

handful of fans. It was a

4:37

joy to join to meet y'

4:39

to meet y'all. I don't know

4:41

that we have any announcements to

4:43

make on any upcoming conventions, but

4:45

it was a great reminder of

4:47

just like, how nice it was

4:49

to meet people, how cool it

4:51

was to occasionally see merch in

4:53

the wild. I met somebody wearing

4:55

one of the Twilight Mirage shirts,

4:57

and we're just like, yeah, that

4:59

shirt rules, which I guess, by

5:01

the way, you can of course,

5:03

go to Friends at the Table

5:05

Dot shop where we have a

5:07

bunch of new holidays over the

5:10

last year. So, you know, what's

5:12

there is... a pretty good collection

5:14

of cool stuff and obviously with

5:16

the time you hear this it

5:18

will be too late for any

5:20

of the December holidays for any

5:22

of that stuff to arrive but

5:24

still hey maybe you end up

5:26

with some cool you know you

5:28

know one of those like visa

5:30

gift cards and you're like oh

5:32

well I want to spend this

5:34

on and let me suggest one

5:36

of our cool shirts or hats

5:38

or prints a lot of cool

5:40

stuff over there. All right, I

5:42

think that that's it. As always,

5:44

we couldn't do this without your

5:46

support. Friends of the table. Cash

5:48

is the place to go if

5:50

you do want to support us.

5:52

Thank you so much, and happy

5:54

holidays and happy new year. I'm

5:56

going to throw it over to

5:58

Ali, who I think in traditional

6:00

alley, posture and traditional alley mode

6:02

starts by laughing and explaining something.

6:04

Take it away, Before we start,

6:06

can you guys make sure that

6:08

you can interact with these dice?

6:11

Oh, yeah, good call. Let's see.

6:13

Oh yeah, that should be. I

6:15

know how to fix that now

6:17

if. I'm making this white dice

6:19

creep creeps into this black pile.

6:21

I'm seeing that. Okay, okay, we're

6:23

good. Okay, yeah, you could double

6:25

click them and then like choose

6:27

who has access over it. Yeah,

6:29

I. This was a problem for

6:31

me during our live fiasco game,

6:33

because I just assumed, like, oh,

6:35

it's, if it's on the token

6:37

layer, then players can interact with

6:39

it. No, no, no, no. No,

6:41

no. No, and you can't right

6:43

click, because that's a different menu.

6:45

It's, you have to, like, I

6:47

don't understand why it wouldn't be

6:49

in the right click menu that

6:51

pops up to set those things,

6:53

but no, you have to double

6:55

click it. It's fine. built for

6:57

what we use it for but

6:59

it literally is so yeah well

7:01

I like that I can do

7:03

this and I can make all

7:05

these dice six as if I

7:07

want I can just go choose

7:09

side it's great that one's already

7:12

a six because technically the thing

7:14

about these about these dice is

7:16

that technically they are built using

7:18

a system that's meant to like

7:20

rotate goblins and stuff on a

7:22

board Like it's all all the

7:24

all the faces are pictures and

7:26

when you look at a tutorial

7:28

of how to use the system

7:30

it's like yeah so for one

7:32

you can have like a strong

7:34

goblin and for two you can

7:36

have like an archer goblin and

7:38

that way you just have to

7:40

lay the token down and you

7:42

can pick what kind of goblin

7:44

it is. We don't put enough

7:46

goblins on the screen in wrong

7:48

20 I feel. I am the

7:50

game master of tonight's session. Hello

7:52

and welcome to Live at the

7:54

table. This is also an actual

7:56

play podcast focused on critical world

7:58

building, smart characterization, and fun interaction

8:00

between good friends. Tonight we're playing

8:02

shooting the moon and joining me

8:04

is Janine Hawkins. find me at

8:06

Bleeting Heart on Twitter. And Jack

8:08

Dakeet. Hi, you can, I'm ill,

8:10

you can find me on Twitter

8:13

at Not Quite Real and by

8:15

any of the music featured on

8:17

the show at Not Quite Real

8:19

dot bandcamp.com. Perfect. So we're here

8:21

tonight playing a tabletop game. Tonight

8:23

we're playing shooting the moon by

8:25

this person's name is at the

8:27

top of this PDF. We're

8:29

playing Shooting the Moon by Emily Kerr

8:31

Boss. This is the second in a

8:34

book of three different games that are

8:36

focused on like romance stories. It's a

8:38

pretty neat book, all things considered. The

8:41

first one is like, Two players play

8:43

two people going on dates and then

8:45

you roll dice to see how much

8:47

they like each other and then at

8:50

the end of the game You're like,

8:52

oh, did they are they in a

8:54

relationship now? There's this one which we're

8:57

about to play and then there's also

8:59

like the last one is like a

9:01

group of friends and Two of them

9:04

are in a relationship and then they

9:06

start hugging up with somebody else since

9:08

like a whole larp thing and it

9:11

seems really intense. So that's an option

9:13

Oh And I'm just going to read

9:15

what it says at the top here.

9:17

In shooting the moon, love brings together

9:20

three characters and puts them through the

9:22

ringer. Two suitors compete for the affection

9:24

of a shared beloved who has overwhelming

9:27

odds of their own deface. United and

9:29

divided by their shared fears and entwined

9:31

destinies. These characters discover what they're made

9:34

out of what they will do for

9:36

love. So, I'm just going to continue.

9:38

The beloved is a person of power

9:41

and a paragon of the world that

9:43

the characters inhabit. The traits give you

9:45

this character to reflect and determine what

9:47

is sought after and desirable in the

9:50

setting. The beloved is drawn to the

9:52

suiters, drawn to the suiters and accepts

9:54

their advances. The suiters are movers and

9:57

shakers and are in. are moved

9:59

shaken in this world.

10:02

They have strengths like the beloved, but they

10:04

are flawed and but they are as well as

10:06

heroic and tasting. as well as

10:08

heroic that's just kind of the main setup here. just

10:11

kind of y 'all have any questions before

10:13

we go into this? Cause we can just

10:15

jump into like. before we go into this?

10:17

Because out a setting jump

10:19

into like out a bunch of words. and

10:22

figure out a bunch of words. This

10:24

came when I when I was reading through it. it.

10:26

Seemed really fiddly, and then the more

10:28

I read I kind of less fiddly it

10:30

seemed. it seemed The

10:32

presentation is but the

10:35

game itself Kind of in

10:37

line with what of. in

10:39

line with what we normally do. there's a

10:41

I think so. dice pools there's

10:43

a lot of feel we do which

10:45

I don't feel says a roll of dice. I'm like

10:47

oh a pool of dice you like oh god

10:49

what are you gonna make me do with

10:52

them and this game is just like just

10:54

are the highest numbers and i'm like oh

10:56

okay I'm like oh okay. Oh so bad actually actually, feel okay. But

10:58

I don't like, and that's why we I don't like rock

11:00

and that's why we can see these

11:02

pools in the in the side right just you

11:04

rolling all over the screen. Oh God, do you want to do a

11:06

you want to give of viewers a little

11:08

tour of the screen that they're going to

11:10

be staring at for the next three

11:13

hours for the next three hours? Sure. have the would have

11:15

this focus. Yeah, I'll be your be your

11:17

camera person Okay, so the basic so

11:19

the basic this this game is

11:21

there's three players, there's the

11:23

three of us, two of us

11:25

play us play suitors and one play the beloved. We

11:27

figure out attributes for these

11:29

characters, we figure out the setting,

11:32

characters, we figure out the their prize is,

11:34

and what the what their prizes and

11:36

what know, beloved, are know,

11:38

aspirations are. Then we go through

11:40

we go through three

11:43

different phases of

11:45

three one three

11:47

phases, so three turns, three

11:49

player, so three turns.

11:52

three turns, three turns, three, and

11:54

three. But basically what happens

11:57

is one suitor will be in a be

11:59

in a scene with. the beloved's, you know,

12:01

trying to be impressive or help

12:03

them out or whatever else.

12:05

And then the odd man

12:07

out will be the hurdle and

12:10

will introduce a like problem

12:12

in the scene. And then the

12:14

person who introduces the hurdle

12:16

gets to roll five dice

12:18

and then the other two have

12:21

to like figure out what

12:23

their response is going to be

12:25

and from their response, they

12:27

figure out how much dice

12:29

they can roll. And if they

12:31

like. win the situation essentially.

12:33

So we have all three character

12:36

sheets here with a lot

12:38

of space for a lot

12:40

of different ones. And then we

12:42

just have the rules in

12:44

terms of like, okay, if you're

12:47

the hurdle, you get five

12:49

dice. And then if you're

12:51

one of the suitors, you get

12:53

two dice if you use

12:55

your first trait, and then you

12:58

get two dice if you

13:00

suggest an action for another

13:02

character. You get one dice if

13:04

you use your trait again,

13:06

essentially. So in your like, in

13:08

the like defense turn, you

13:10

can get up to six

13:12

dice. is basically the thing. But

13:15

that's kind of jumping ahead,

13:17

we can get to that. For

13:19

now, let's just start easy

13:21

and figure out what we

13:23

want the setting to be, which

13:26

can be literally anything. The

13:28

book suggests things like a bunch

13:30

of pirates, a bunch of

13:32

people working in a law

13:34

firm. There's a list here where

13:37

you can either be super

13:39

spies or in a witch war

13:41

or a college gaming group.

13:43

So the world is really

13:45

our oyster here. Which was pretty

13:47

good. We want to like

13:49

each put forward an idea and

13:52

then see. Yeah. Yeah. But

13:54

we feel strongest about. Yeah.

13:56

I can start unless you all

13:58

want to. Go for

14:00

it. Okay, because the only the

14:03

only like suggestion that I had

14:05

was that like trying to stick

14:07

to something that's like kind of

14:10

contained within like environment or time.

14:12

I'm playing mystic messenger right now,

14:14

which is very simple. It is

14:17

you enter a chat room and

14:19

then get to date the people

14:21

on the chat room because there's

14:24

a party in seven days, which

14:26

is a very. Very simple confines

14:28

to be in. Whereas we could

14:31

do something like, you know, we're

14:33

on like a conference and we're

14:35

all professionals in this place or

14:38

like, it's a holiday market and

14:40

we're all running a stand or

14:42

like something like that. But as

14:45

far as like, if this wants

14:47

to be in space or, you

14:49

know, a modern setting or anything

14:52

else, we can do whatever. What

14:54

about a cruise ship? It's not

14:56

bad. My my pitches is an

14:59

old-timey toy maker shop. Ooh. Those

15:01

are some wildly divergent things. I'm

15:03

interested in either one. You're in

15:06

sharp opposition. Welcome to the 1938

15:08

toy maker's cruise. Thanks for boarding

15:10

here and over. Well I'd also

15:13

been thinking about like I really

15:15

love the the sort of aesthetic

15:17

that's going on in Howls Moving

15:20

Castle in terms of just like

15:22

establishing a space quickly and that

15:24

has a real sort of toy

15:27

maker old old-timey toy maker shop

15:29

vibe or were you thinking about

15:31

it with a haber-dasher and she's

15:34

like a hat making apprentice. Yeah

15:36

yeah. Oh, but it would be

15:38

toy hats. We could have a

15:41

situation where like the toy maker

15:43

is the beloved and the suitor

15:45

are the apprentices or something. We're

15:48

trying to like figure out the

15:50

next toy or some, you know,

15:52

something like that. that rival toy

15:55

makers and there's a street that

15:57

just has three toy shops on

15:59

it is a three toy shops

16:02

or do we all work for

16:04

at the same store and it's

16:06

like we're employees in this place

16:09

the beloved is the boss I

16:11

guess there's some like power dynamic

16:13

stuff there that is like if

16:16

we're apprentices it's kind of like

16:18

toy store That's true. We could

16:20

be aspiring toy makers who are

16:23

not yet apprentices, like the toy

16:25

maker has a shop, but we're

16:27

like, but they're said that the

16:30

suitors in general are like making

16:32

stuff by hand and selling it

16:34

at the market or something maybe,

16:37

but they want that like prime

16:39

shop. You know, they want, they

16:41

want, they want a window to

16:44

put stuff in, not just on

16:46

the back of a donkey. And

16:48

they're coming in and they're like,

16:51

do you like this small doll

16:53

that I've created to do anything?

16:55

It's so mouse. So this game

16:57

does have something like in it

17:00

to make the relationship dynamics a

17:02

little bit more platonic if you

17:04

want to go that way. What

17:07

you do is set up for

17:09

the suitors is their prize and

17:11

it's the same for both. And

17:14

instead of, you know. having the

17:16

prize be like a date or

17:18

marriage or like whatever else we

17:21

can have the prize be like

17:23

earn a window in the toy

17:25

shops store so like we also

17:28

want to get close to this

17:30

person but it's also this like

17:32

professional aspiration and and if friends

17:35

at the table if doing friends

17:37

at the table has taught me

17:39

anything it's that you know trying

17:42

to put stuff in a shop

17:44

window and getting close to someone

17:46

in that way can be very

17:49

romantic. You can have both. Why

17:51

settle for one? Sometimes you're in

17:53

love with the toy maker, but

17:56

also you have a really good

17:58

idea for one of those like

18:00

pull toys where the head nods.

18:03

It's like an animal. Oh. I

18:05

mean, I'm happy to go with,

18:07

like, robot goose. Okay. What year

18:10

is this? Like, when you say

18:12

old-timey, are you talking about, like,

18:14

old-timey New York? Are you talking

18:17

about, like, old-timey London? Are you

18:19

talking about, like, where tutors and

18:21

shit? Or are we in the

18:24

Alps? Imagine of sort of like

18:26

broadly a timeline where the toys

18:28

would probably still have had dangerous

18:31

paint on them. But beyond that

18:33

I hadn't really specified me in

18:35

my head. Oh, is this an

18:38

opportunity for Ali to play Arthur

18:40

Morgan again? Would love to. I

18:42

could go, yeah, I can do

18:45

you old-timey. Do we want to

18:47

do like... You throw out how's

18:49

moving castle do we want to

18:52

do like vaguely magical still fantasyish?

18:54

I mean why lock ourselves out

18:56

of that little box of tricks

18:59

right? It's nice and surprising that

19:01

way. Also magical toys there's stuff

19:03

there you know yeah yeah yeah

19:06

I don't want to just be

19:08

talking about like batteries for the

19:10

rest of the day. Okay, let

19:13

me know if the font size

19:15

here is a little bad for

19:17

chat. There's a lot to squish

19:20

into the... God, it's so good

19:22

that we can just write down

19:24

the words magic exists and that's

19:27

our job. Okay, perfect. Is there

19:29

any other like establishing stuff that

19:31

we want to set up at

19:34

this point? Keep in mind that

19:36

as we set up the beloved

19:38

stuff that we'll... kind of speak

19:41

more to the world. And then

19:43

as we set up the suitors,

19:45

you can see that they also

19:48

get a person place and thing.

19:50

So we'll have more opportunity to

19:52

kind of like drive down what

19:55

the city is and everything else.

19:57

But do we want to. like,

19:59

oh, this is, you know,

20:01

the, know, is the shop, like, on

20:04

like on Main or

20:06

is it 30 seconds straight? Uh,

20:08

I mean, it's December and

20:10

we're doing a game I

20:13

mean, a toy it's December and we're doing a game

20:15

out of toy shops and probably should be

20:17

like a main this is the this is

20:19

the toy but that's like snow

20:21

and like like, Twinkly twinkly

20:24

lights snow snow

20:26

dangerous candles just one of those

20:28

trees with the candles on it

20:30

because candles on it because oh yeah die if

20:32

you leave this in there's like

20:34

a brass band playing you playing some

20:36

kind of like a brass

20:38

band playing they're playing

20:41

some kind of creative

20:43

commons out of copyright

20:45

Christmas song okay Decorations are in the

20:47

air. are in there but it's not

20:49

like a, it's not Manhattan,

20:51

right? It's like like, no, it's

20:53

it's like um, Vienna

20:56

something, right? right? Yeah.

20:58

I'm gonna write smallish, but still

21:00

urban, which is going to

21:02

write this but still those like, weird, is one

21:04

of those buildings that kind old buildings that

21:07

kind of gets built around and

21:09

it's like it like was originally made for you the

21:11

ones I mean that are like they

21:13

have a narrower base because the

21:15

streets had to be a certain width

21:17

but then the top level is

21:20

like wider and it looks like it's

21:22

going to fall off at the but

21:24

then the top level is like

21:26

wider I wanna see if I like

21:28

it's gonna fall just draw

21:30

that? looks so man I just

21:33

go for it, see if I can just

21:35

draw that it was yeah to go for it's a

21:37

mean oh shit If

21:40

you you want to to just that that,

21:42

down, write it down to you shade of like

21:44

the That's a problem. that's a mean,

21:46

the wow. thing that I'm thinking of,

21:48

and this is definitely far too

21:51

big for us is there is

21:53

a very old department store in

21:55

London called old department store in London called Liberty.

21:57

And putting it up on the on

21:59

the stream. and I put it

22:01

in the chat in that

22:04

it's just like this

22:06

giganticly wide mock tutor

22:08

building that it's just like

22:10

imagine this decorated for Christmas

22:13

and stuff and it

22:15

has like an archway

22:17

and like and the inside

22:19

looks like you know looks

22:22

like someone crashed a

22:24

department store into the

22:26

houses of parliament and I

22:28

think this is too big

22:31

for us There's specifically,

22:33

there's a safora in

22:35

Manhattan that apparently Ernest Hemingway

22:38

used to write in or

22:40

work in or whatever,

22:42

and I'm like specifically

22:44

thinking of the layout of

22:47

this place, but I can't.

22:49

I knew he was

22:51

a safora guy. You

22:53

know. So

22:56

this looks like a Victorian bird

22:58

cage, but, um... Oh, let's see

23:00

what Janine's door to me. It's

23:03

a cupcake. A cupcake in a

23:05

cage. Okay, I see it. I,

23:07

so the thing that I'm thinking

23:10

of is this very specific safora,

23:12

which is corn. and it's like

23:14

way deeper than you would think

23:17

it is from street level and

23:19

then it's also so you see

23:21

how there's like the double doors

23:24

in the middle and then there's

23:26

those circle windows on the side

23:28

yeah just that section of the

23:31

source like a second layer so

23:33

with the whole like main floor

23:36

is super open but you also

23:38

have like some extra you know

23:40

Now this is a fucking Grand

23:43

Budapest Hotel, Sapporo right here. You

23:45

also say, oh, it's actually a

23:47

lot deeper than it looks. And

23:50

I was already looking at this

23:52

thing like, wow, that looks like

23:54

it's bigger than some national library.

23:57

It does, you can see the

23:59

depth. Yeah, okay, I'm just gonna

24:01

write, I'm just gonna write. Fifth

24:04

Avenue, so forth. But I do,

24:06

I especially like the windows in

24:08

this place as well. Yeah, those

24:11

round windows and stuff. And there's

24:13

no like cars and stuff, right?

24:15

Or is there like very old

24:18

style, Mr. or Mrs. Brown Paddington

24:20

Bear cars? I could go for,

24:22

you know, some steam engine. But

24:25

like lots of horses and stuff.

24:27

Okay, horse, okay. Horses more than.

24:29

Horses more than... Maybe like you

24:32

see a car sometimes, but it's

24:34

an event when you do. Yeah,

24:36

you're like, damn, I'm gonna go

24:39

to this for her and write

24:41

about that. What I wrote was

24:44

horses more than cars slash some

24:46

magical engines. So... Oh yeah, yeah,

24:48

yeah, yeah. Gotta have a magical

24:51

engine. Yeah, you've got to. Like,

24:53

what are you doing? Okay. Well,

24:55

we definitely, I feel like we're,

24:58

we're not good, but we're, this

25:00

is a healthy setting. Great. I

25:02

feel like we're supposed to set

25:05

it up at the point, but

25:07

like, if... In five minutes, someone

25:09

has a good idea that you

25:12

want me to write up there.

25:14

I will write it up there.

25:16

I don't care about the rules

25:19

that much. But let's jump into

25:21

the attributes because this is a

25:23

whole thing. And before we started,

25:26

I'm just going to give a

25:28

very high level of what we're

25:30

doing so we know what we're

25:33

doing at the start. So we're

25:35

about to pick six words that

25:37

we feel described, describe the beloved

25:40

that are also things that are

25:42

just like universally attractive in this

25:45

world. And then from those six

25:47

letters, I mean six words, we're

25:49

going to choose three of them

25:52

to make a synonym and an

25:54

antonym for. So let's say that.

25:56

the beloved is attentive, we would

25:59

have like thoughtful and careless. From

26:01

there, we would assign out thoughtful

26:03

to one of the suitors and

26:06

careless to another suitor. because they

26:08

just get assigned out like that

26:10

and then on top of that

26:13

we get to like fine tune

26:15

the suitors a little bit more

26:17

and add another word to that

26:20

so it would be like careless

26:22

but quick on their feet and

26:24

thoughtful but stubborn or whatever right

26:27

and then as we go through

26:29

scenes let's say the two of

26:31

you are standing outside the window

26:34

and marveling over the shop and

26:36

talking about like what the future

26:38

window that's going to be there

26:41

is going to look like. And

26:43

if I'm the one who's outside

26:45

of that scene, I would say,

26:48

okay, you're careless, you didn't look

26:50

at the weather and it's raining.

26:53

So this like meeting that you

26:55

set up is now ruined. What

26:57

do you do? And that's the

27:00

game. So... Let's start thinking of

27:02

attributes for the beloved. The weird

27:04

thing about attributes is that they

27:07

can be like character traits, but

27:09

they can also just be like

27:11

cool things that they have like

27:14

best ship and I thought I'd

27:16

delight that I'm so sorry the

27:18

players choose the following attributes for

27:21

the beloved ruthless daring ambitious infamous

27:23

carouser best ship. It's very good.

27:25

The other thing just to just

27:28

say while we're on this is

27:30

that we also at the end

27:32

of the scene we gain traits

27:35

and we assign them out depending

27:37

on who wins the scene it's

27:39

a whole thing. But traits can

27:42

also be really wide. One of

27:44

the traits that the book uses

27:46

is like I met some girl

27:49

in a prior scene. It's so

27:51

funny. Should we pick who is

27:53

who at this point or does...

27:56

that come next we can pick

27:58

who is who is this point

28:01

we can yeah I think the

28:03

end though right like ideally they

28:05

want you to like form the

28:08

suitor and the bullet suitors in

28:10

the beloved and then decide I

28:12

think you're supposed to decide at

28:15

this point I'm fine with us

28:17

waiting until we think of the

28:19

names I think then maybe the

28:22

name is the thing you're supposed

28:24

to do yeah Okay, we're not

28:26

gonna have like a personal touch

28:29

on these characters, but there's like

28:31

a weird turn order So they

28:33

want you to choose now So

28:36

we can like list out all

28:38

of these words and then say

28:40

like oh, that's the one that

28:43

I want to play because I

28:45

don't really Yeah, I think that's

28:47

the best way to do it.

28:50

Okay, because yeah, I feel like

28:52

it would be a lot of

28:54

pressure right now to be like

28:57

okay, you're the beloved or whatever

28:59

But we have to go I'm

29:02

just gonna give the turn order

29:04

of me Janine Jack Jeanine Jack

29:06

for now Because we each have

29:09

to choose a word and that's

29:11

like a whole thing But okay,

29:13

so what words do we want

29:16

to think of for the beloved?

29:18

I chose myself first I thought

29:20

this up Okay, okay, I have

29:23

a word if you want to

29:25

pass but um around Yeah, Ginny.

29:27

Okay. So it's going to meet

29:30

Jack me Because I think we

29:32

should use ingenious for the beloved.

29:34

Okay. Like the, that should be.

29:37

Is that right, Ian? I think

29:39

it's an eye. Okay. In genius.

29:41

Not 100% on that, I could

29:44

be wrong. Well. I'm gonna pick

29:46

generous. Okay. I feel like a

29:48

toy maker should be generous. Um,

29:56

generous.

30:00

I'm gonna cheat and just

30:02

use the word that I've

30:04

had in my head for

30:06

saying that example, which is

30:08

attentive. Which I think also

30:10

works for, you know, someone

30:12

who works with their hands

30:15

and I was a shop.

30:17

Yeah, has the best chip.

30:19

Be like detail oriented. What's

30:21

the funniest thing I could

30:23

attach to this thing that

30:25

I had in my head?

30:33

Best stuffed dog faces Oh Okay,

30:36

yeah, that's important. Yeah, that's great

30:38

Janine comes up with a curveball

30:40

that also fits perfectly None of

30:42

those like little oh the mouth

30:45

is just a little square red

30:47

fell to it's cute. No, we're

30:49

talking good There's tongue, there is

30:52

like a sort of throat space.

30:54

There's no teeth because that's too

30:56

fierce, but you get a good

30:59

symmetrical curve on the little like

31:01

the little colon three mouth. How

31:03

detailed is, how much does the

31:06

snout protrude? It depends on the

31:08

breed. Okay of course, sorry, sorry.

31:10

Are these dog faces frightening or

31:13

is, I mean, I feel like

31:15

there's an uncanniness that you want

31:17

to avoid and does best stuffed

31:19

dog face design mean... I mean,

31:22

what is the versatility of these

31:24

dog faces? It depends. There's a

31:26

section, you know, it's a very

31:29

deep source. There's a section for

31:31

toys for like five and under

31:33

and they have very soft cute

31:36

faces and then there's a section

31:38

for older children and the toys

31:40

are a little more realistic there

31:43

because like... You know, it's like

31:45

a learning thing, like you have

31:47

to learn that like, you know,

31:50

dogs aren't all cute and fun.

31:52

Sometimes they're a little scary, but

31:54

you still love them. Mm. I'm

31:56

gonna pick, um, patient. Oh, that's

31:59

a good one. Mm. I feel

32:01

like patient. Patience is

32:03

a good is

32:06

a good not

32:09

around it out. broadly.

32:14

Yeah. Um, hmm.

32:17

Not a

32:20

rounded out. good

32:23

about a shop owner? What would a

32:25

shop owner? We get

32:27

out There's some reason Sharpe

32:29

Shooter came to mind and

32:32

that's not. No, no, hold

32:34

on. Now who's playing Arthur

32:36

you you Morgan. I'm

32:39

trying to think of trying

32:41

to think of something that's like a

32:43

little bit a little bit more like

32:45

specific than

32:48

resourceful. Hmm. What what

32:50

about, like, like, well, like. I

32:52

I was gonna say well -connected

32:54

but that's almost more well connected,

32:56

but Like in what ways does

32:58

their resourcefulness shine through? than

33:02

like in what ways

33:04

Yeah their Yeah,

33:07

you would need

33:09

to through? Adaptability? Oh, oh sure,

33:11

yeah. Yeah, you it's the holiday

33:13

season. to be very

33:15

adaptable. Oh, you

33:17

got to start making the

33:19

nutcrackers with the with the Sometimes.

33:22

You got a bobbles, tinsle. Sometimes you run

33:24

out of hinges for the

33:26

nutcracker out of hinges for the nutcracker

33:28

jaws and you have to like cut some

33:31

pins down and then secure them in yourself.

33:33

You in gotta make it, you gotta make to

33:35

make it. You got to make spirit. to playmaker

33:37

switching it to good under

33:39

pressure, which is a great a

33:41

great. It It is something that

33:43

everyone who runs a store. putting on

33:46

their runs a store is

33:48

putting on their that's

33:50

true. Yeah, that's true. Okay. Okay.

33:52

So now, Okay, so

33:54

one of these you choose

33:56

one of these and then

33:58

you and a name. And I'm just all

34:00

of these on the bottom here so we can

34:03

assign them out. here, so we

34:05

can assign them out. Okay. Are

34:07

we just gonna pick any at random pick do

34:09

ours. random or just so right

34:11

now you just pick one of

34:13

the the pick one of the six, one of

34:15

the One of the six beloved ones, we

34:17

choose what those are. what those then we assign

34:19

them out. and then we assign them out.

34:22

Okay. So it's it's three pairs of

34:24

words and then we decide who gets

34:26

decide who gets we go in another.

34:28

go in another round. I

34:30

got to do best stuff

34:33

dog do best stuffed

34:35

dog Because I love the because

34:37

I love the implications of both. both

34:39

the synonym and the They're

34:41

very important. past. Sure.

34:44

They're it's so

34:46

good. If we slept

34:48

on this one, we'd not be

34:50

able to forgive ourselves we slept on this one,

34:52

we'd not be able

34:54

to forgive ourselves

34:57

I mean, So the

34:59

antonym writes itself, right? Like

35:01

worst stuff, dog face design.

35:03

Okay, worst dog face design.

35:06

Ashley Campbell at the

35:08

chart just says, dog

35:10

designs. designs. Just true.

35:12

Do we want to say

35:14

worse or we want to say

35:16

worse or to to say like realistic or

35:18

like? like? I mean the opposite of best is

35:20

worse. This is true. But is worse can

35:22

also mean - worse they are too

35:25

realistic. could also just mean that, like,

35:27

instead of using eyes, they use, like, peach

35:29

pits or something. Like, could be any... of

35:31

were storytellers that we should

35:33

38:50

think of are kind of mean, which are like

38:52

38:54

something like that, so or you

38:56

a little less harsh. So

38:58

39:09

be fun so now we have there

39:11

we go. Okay. So now we have

39:13

our. So we have six have six

39:16

new words to these have to be

39:18

out out in pairs, you so you

39:20

can say want Souter I want to to

39:22

have the best cat design design two to

39:24

be easily distracted. two to be easily once

39:26

you take ownership of the you take do

39:28

the whole thing the pair, you do the and you don't have

39:30

to take the ones that you picked Janine and you

39:32

don't have to take the ones that

39:35

you picked, but you know. I mean, I'm

39:37

gonna. But I mean also at

39:39

this point it's mostly just

39:41

random it's mostly just random. Like give cat

39:43

design to Souter One dog

39:46

design to suit. Right. So we

39:48

are We're some. We're characters here

39:50

first one has the best

39:52

stuff cat design characters two

39:55

has Souter dog has the

39:57

best stuff cat design. And

39:59

Souter Two. really has a

40:01

hurdle to get over to

40:03

win the attention and you

40:06

know affection of their beloved.

40:08

Or maybe it's a thing

40:11

they can bond over learning

40:13

to make good dog faces.

40:16

See? Jack you're up. I'm

40:18

gonna pick... I'm gonna pick...

40:21

Suta 1 has easily distracted.

40:23

And suitor two is observant.

40:25

Not observant of dog's faces,

40:28

or maybe just, maybe observing

40:30

is not the issue. But

40:33

let's do it okay. Okay,

40:35

I'm gonna give... Oh, this

40:38

is tough because they're new.

40:40

You fuck up the balance.

40:43

I think I'm gonna give

40:45

impatient to worst dogface and

40:47

thoughtful to. No, it's not.

40:50

No, hang on. I'm not

40:52

impatient to worst dogface. Hey,

40:55

I'm stuck down. Hey, I

40:57

heard your dogface is really

41:00

bad, but guess what? You're

41:02

also impatient. Okay, so we've

41:05

done this, I'm scrolling down,

41:07

yada yada yada. Okay, so

41:09

now we've already know them

41:12

as the cat designer on

41:14

the top. Okay, so we've

41:17

done this, I'm scrolling down,

41:19

yada yada. Okay, so we've

41:22

done this, I'm scrolling down,

41:24

yada yada. Okay, so now

41:27

we modify traits. Do we

41:29

do this to our own

41:31

or do we do this

41:34

in a pair? No, we

41:36

still do this in a

41:39

round, so. We can just

41:41

keep doing this and then

41:44

choose who we are afterwards.

41:46

So, right. Okay. So now

41:49

that we have easily distracted,

41:51

thoughtful, best cat design for

41:54

suitor one, and suitor two

41:56

has water stock face design,

41:58

observant, and impatient, we modify

42:01

these by saying, but. So

42:03

you can say, let's say

42:06

we had used generous as

42:08

one of them. You could

42:11

say like, oh, they're generous,

42:13

but. Wait. They're generous but,

42:16

um, coldness. Okay. Yeah. And

42:18

these, these don't have to

42:20

be antonims, right? Just so

42:23

long as they add some

42:25

new aspect to the, to

42:28

the attribute. Yeah, yeah. So

42:30

I mean, you're, yeah, we're

42:33

just kind of remixing a

42:35

little bit here. We're not

42:38

like trying to. It's phrased

42:40

like there's a bit of

42:42

a relation, but not like

42:45

a direct thing. Yeah, it's

42:47

it's written just to add

42:50

nuance, but it's not specifically

42:52

it. Okay, so it's specifically

42:55

says the modification should strengthen,

42:57

weaken, or give in detail

43:00

to what we know about

43:02

the character based on their

43:04

trait. So it doesn't have

43:07

to be like a specific,

43:09

it doesn't have to be

43:12

linked in the same way

43:14

that it was there, but

43:17

it should be related to

43:19

that first word. You shouldn't

43:22

say like worst dog face

43:24

design, but smells nice, you

43:26

know, like. Really, you make

43:29

terrible, terrible dog faces, but

43:31

you smell like a miller.

43:34

Those dog faces smell great,

43:36

but I can't stand to

43:39

look at them. I just

43:41

put one in a pillowcase

43:44

in my clothes drawer in

43:46

it. It really improves the

43:48

whole feel of the thing.

43:51

Okay, who goes first here?

43:53

Was it so Janine? I

43:56

have an idea. For a

43:58

worst dog face, is I?

44:01

Worst dog face design, but

44:03

Best tail wagging mechanism. So

44:06

you only want to look

44:08

at their dogs from the

44:11

back. Oh my god. And

44:13

then you turn it around,

44:15

you're like, oh! Yeah, but

44:18

that's the display is just

44:20

all like these little dog

44:23

dog tail wagging. Oh, it's

44:25

so cute. It's so cute.

44:28

They pick one up, turn

44:30

around, whoa. Yeah. Yeah. Play

44:33

to find out what happens,

44:35

you know? And it turns

44:37

out that what's happening is

44:40

intricate dog construction. I'm going

44:42

to pick, um, hmm, who's

44:45

that? Someone with the best

44:47

dog face. Yeah, my next

44:50

dog. Okay. Really confused for

44:52

a second. I'm going to

44:55

pick. I

45:04

want something with easily distracted that

45:06

adds an aspect to it where

45:08

it's like they flip between a

45:10

lot of things and they're able

45:13

to keep those in that they're

45:15

capable of spinning a lot of

45:17

plates or something. Like they'll bounce

45:20

between them but they have a

45:22

lot. I would say like easily

45:24

distracted but passionate? Oh yeah that's

45:27

great yeah. And there's something interesting

45:29

to be said right about a

45:31

character who is like genuinely passionate.

45:34

but also is easily distracted. Yeah,

45:36

yeah, the affection for things is

45:38

full and true, but you know,

45:40

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, um,

45:43

Ginny, I want you to, I

45:45

want you to, if you have

45:47

a good idea, please. I do.

45:50

It's my turn. I was going

45:52

to my turn.

45:54

I was gonna

45:57

apply something to

45:59

best cat design,

46:01

but I went

46:03

to make sure I

46:06

want to make sure that for

46:08

something else. You're good.

46:10

for all good. for it. Go

46:12

for it. My ideas for something else. You're

46:14

all good. I'm running, but

46:16

legs are too short. That That

46:19

sounds like a selling point.

46:21

You don't know. know. A little cats

46:23

with good faces? with good faces? Come

46:25

on, not, you know, you know, maybe it's

46:27

not... That's little Bob's whole platform.

46:30

Okay, wait, wait. My child

46:32

will accept only the

46:34

tallest toy cats. Maybe like Egyptian

46:37

mouths are like really in style or

46:39

like the style or like

46:41

the hairs hairs and stuff and

46:43

like like, oh, these

46:45

little studded cats just

46:48

to legs or not even

46:50

it till that's good. not even like.

46:52

Oh, that's good. Oh

46:54

yeah, totally. All these I'll

46:57

be a little tippy cat toys. Keep

46:59

pulling over my shelf like

47:01

this. Oh, sorry Jay. No, I just

47:03

noticed I just noticed

47:05

chat Chad briefly suggested

47:07

legs are too

47:09

long, are which is

47:11

very is very good. But

47:13

even this is incredible. this is

47:16

I think that human is the

47:18

best. think not even is the best.

47:20

Yeah. observant, but

47:23

myopic. Okay. Oh yeah.

47:25

They're very observant

47:27

but they are

47:29

like so narrow. Okay.

47:31

And so like fixated

47:34

on the details.

47:37

on the details. the faces faces

47:39

of the dogs. That's maybe that's

47:41

maybe that's why they're bad because they

47:43

like bad so much they I got to

47:45

get the so much on but then it's just

47:47

like, well, the mouth is on upside

47:50

down and there's a there's a then it's

47:52

just like well the mouth is on

47:54

upside down and there's a there's

47:56

a beetle under it's okay okay

47:58

I'm gonna pick So my

48:00

options now are thoughtful or

48:02

impatient. Um, I'm gonna pick,

48:05

um, hmm. Thoughtful, but brisk.

48:07

Um, so like their, their,

48:09

their manner is quite, um,

48:11

quite brisk. Brisk for brusque.

48:13

Let me check the, the

48:15

definition. When I think of

48:17

brisk, I think of like

48:20

a walk against. I kind

48:22

of think of like a

48:24

nice fall day. So maybe

48:26

what I have been doing

48:28

all this time is, either

48:30

this is a British thing

48:32

or I've just been using

48:34

the wrong word forever. Let's

48:37

check. I think you could

48:39

say, you could still say

48:41

someone's like, oh he was

48:43

very brisk with me. Yeah,

48:45

no. The dictionary says showing

48:47

a wish to deal with

48:49

things quickly, slightly brusque, which

48:51

they love that they like,

48:54

they like raise the vowel

48:56

sound from brusque to brisk

48:58

when they need to make

49:00

to make it slightly. I'm

49:02

going to write brisk slash

49:04

short because that's the word

49:06

that I use for that.

49:08

Yeah, yeah. But I want

49:11

to be clear that I

49:13

don't think this shortness is

49:15

necessarily like, often when I

49:17

think of short, I think

49:19

of someone who's being like

49:21

cruel without necessarily realizing it.

49:23

They're just kind of like,

49:26

I don't care or whatever.

49:28

And I think this briskness

49:30

or this briskness or this

49:32

shortness kind of runs the

49:34

gamut of both that and

49:36

also maybe just being quite

49:38

brisk about things. Okay, let's

49:40

see. You know, people are

49:43

busy. People are busy. Um,

49:45

and I'm going to go

49:47

with inpatient, but, hmm, um,

49:49

inpatient, but well-planned. No, well,

49:51

well, well, well, does that

49:53

work? Inpatient, but organized? Oh,

49:55

that's interesting. Where

49:58

it's like they're impatient.

50:00

but also they have

50:02

to do, they want

50:04

to do things in

50:06

a certain order and

50:08

like cross their teas

50:10

and dot their eyes.

50:13

Yeah, I think that's

50:15

what I'm going for.

50:17

That's closer to organize.

50:19

Hmm. I think so,

50:21

you know, someone who's

50:23

impatient but like, is.

50:26

He's like organized enough and

50:28

has is like on top

50:30

of their shit enough that

50:32

like that doesn't always have

50:35

to come through because if

50:37

they're well planned then they

50:39

don't have to be Right,

50:41

you know what I mean?

50:43

Yeah, yeah, yeah perfect So

50:45

you were knowing what I

50:47

meant so we're done with

50:49

that part now we are

50:51

going to develop the beloved

50:53

a little bit more And

50:55

I'm just going to go

50:57

on the same order because

50:59

the only The only thing

51:01

about this is that if

51:04

at this point we know

51:06

who's playing each of these

51:08

characters, the beloved gets to

51:10

make their own dream, which

51:12

I feel like is kind

51:14

of important. So I don't

51:16

know if we would like

51:18

call Dibs on people now.

51:20

Do any of us have

51:22

a particularly strong desire to

51:24

play any particular role? an

51:30

idea for a dream, you should

51:33

probably do it. But it's also

51:35

like not a special idea that

51:37

would particularly matter. We can just

51:39

keep going in the sand, like

51:42

where I trust y'all enough to

51:44

like, if I end up playing

51:46

the beloved, like, oh, Janine gave

51:48

me this dream that I don't

51:51

feel close to or whatever. Right.

51:53

So in that case, with our

51:55

turn order, what's actually going to

51:57

happen is, well, if you have

52:00

a idea for a dream, you

52:02

should probably do it. available? obstacle?

52:04

What major challenges the beloved facing

52:07

and the dream? What is the

52:09

beloved goal or ambition in the

52:11

world? So... Oh, I have an

52:13

idea for an obstacle. Yeah. What

52:16

about what if we do a

52:18

sort of a you've got mail

52:20

situation and the department store is

52:22

opening a toy a toy shop?

52:25

Oh, okay. Yeah, you've got Mail

52:27

is about a little bookshop run

52:29

by Meg Ryan and then like

52:31

a kind of, um, what's the

52:34

American bookshop called? The famous one?

52:36

Amazon's Noble? Borders? Borders? I think

52:38

it might be like a fake

52:40

Barnes and Noble slash Borders opens

52:43

up and it's like, we're gonna

52:45

put you out of business and

52:47

Tom Hanks works for the people

52:49

and Meg Ryan's like, you wouldn't

52:52

do such a thing. And he

52:54

does. Nora Affron. It's like two

52:56

big ways in which that movie

52:58

doesn't age well, huh? Yeah, no.

53:01

It's, it's, uh, it's, I had

53:03

fun watching it. It's just a

53:05

one. It's got a good dog

53:07

in it. And then at the

53:10

end they play somewhere over the

53:12

rainbow and I cried. Oh, look,

53:14

you know, reminds it comedies of

53:17

a certain time. Know how to

53:19

pull the hard strings even as

53:21

you're watching, going... Um,

53:23

with tears going down

53:26

your face. Uh, yeah.

53:28

So we need an

53:30

opportunity in a dream

53:32

now. Um, the idea

53:34

I had for the

53:36

dream is just like

53:38

a really like basic,

53:41

like, make the hot

53:43

holiday toy. Like, make

53:45

the thing that they

53:47

can't keep on the

53:49

shelves. Oh, yeah. I

53:51

mean, you know, it's

53:54

it's December. It's the

53:56

game. Yeah. Do you

53:58

know, make it something?

54:00

like yeah that makes

54:02

sense okay I was

54:04

gonna suggest something more

54:06

personal which is like

54:09

make you know Make

54:11

something that they're super proud

54:13

of and not that's just

54:16

like you know what I

54:18

mean? Like make the the

54:20

second best dog face design

54:23

I was going to just

54:25

something completely in the direction

54:27

which was like make it

54:29

into the like whatever the

54:32

The the mail order catalogs

54:34

top 10 toys of the

54:36

year or something is like

54:38

Like the toy inspector comes

54:41

around. But I love that

54:43

Ali's one was like, let's

54:45

make it more personal. And

54:47

mine was like, let's make

54:50

it, let's try and get

54:52

into the, into the catalog.

54:54

Oh, we can combine all

54:57

these ideas. I think the

54:59

idea of like, because this

55:01

is like a magical setting

55:03

and like newspapers are probably

55:06

who even knows, like, maybe

55:08

there's like a, make it

55:10

into the magazines top best

55:12

new toys of the season

55:15

or whatever. Yeah. Yeah, I'm

55:17

up for that. I'm up

55:19

for that. I'm just gonna

55:21

write newsletters. Best top 10

55:24

toys list. And like the

55:26

town is like clamoring for

55:28

this shit. They're like, I

55:30

got to know the top

55:33

10 and I want some

55:35

even legs in there. I

55:37

just wanted to make it

55:40

new because I really like

55:42

the idea of this person

55:44

being like, I've already got

55:46

the best dog face in

55:49

town and I have to

55:51

wow them one more time.

55:53

It's also a season baby.

55:55

Everyone used to talk about

55:58

my dog faces but now

56:00

they, you know, now everyone's

56:02

got a dog with a

56:04

nice face. I need to

56:07

make something new to keep

56:09

him coming because once you

56:11

have a dog with a

56:14

nice face, you don't need

56:16

two. Right. Okay, what's the

56:18

opportunity? Why is the beloved

56:20

available? I'm like my mind...

56:23

keeps going down the obvious

56:25

highway, which is like they

56:27

find more retail during the

56:29

holiday season. They're super busy.

56:32

But there's probably a better

56:34

reason why somebody wouldn't date.

56:36

What if it has something

56:38

to do with the department

56:41

store? Like what if someone

56:43

did show them to go

56:45

found. Oh. took their dog

56:47

face secrets to the competition.

56:50

Wow. There's like a like,

56:52

what do you call the

56:54

like first mate position? First

56:57

mate? Is that what it's

56:59

called? Off a ship? I

57:01

think so. Where it's like

57:03

I'm the first mate of

57:06

this toy store and that

57:08

position is up for grabs

57:10

because the traitorous one went

57:12

to. The Guttons. It's a

57:15

teach them how to make

57:17

dog faces. Oh, yeah. Okay,

57:19

so it's like a... Guttons

57:21

is the funniest department's fake

57:24

department store to ever hurt

57:26

my life. Is it a

57:28

real thing? Let's find out.

57:31

It's not a real thing.

57:33

Oh my god. What was

57:35

that? You would spell that

57:37

for me really quick? Yeah,

57:40

sure. We have a choice

57:42

here. Could I be? Could

57:44

I be M-C-G-U-D-D-A-N-S? Or M-A-C-G-U-D-D-A-N-S?

57:46

Or M-A-C-G-U-D-D-A-N-S? So it's Magadans?

57:49

Oh Magadans is great. Magadans

57:51

feels like before had it

57:53

felt like Scottish and now

57:55

it feels like Victorian English.

57:58

And something

58:00

else. else. Wow. Oh, wait.

58:02

Sorry, Ali. I'm I'm

58:04

afraid changed the spellings as you

58:06

were spelling it. were I hate to

58:09

disappoint you. I hate

58:11

to disappoint you. Now it's

58:14

U -D -D -A -N -S. you

58:16

still leave the G capital. leave the

58:18

I love it. And

58:20

then so just gonna, just

58:22

so we know. I love

58:24

it. And then I'm just going to just

58:26

we have we know. I, you

58:29

know, I, you know, a there's a

58:31

complication here immediately, which is is

58:33

like, aren't these people just going

58:35

to work for the for the department

58:37

store? Cuz fuck them! Cuz fuck the

58:40

department store We're all wrong.

58:42

That's wrong. That's wrong. That's the that you,

58:44

us out of the game. to

58:46

of the game. They come into store. Yeah,

58:49

fuck the I might not know

58:51

how to store. face, but I might know

58:53

guys. make a dog's face, I'd rather

58:56

make those guys. I'd rather make a

58:58

bad face for a small small

59:00

business than a great

59:02

dog's face gardens. I mean the I

59:04

mean the answer is probably really,

59:06

God God, the answer is probably really that like they

59:08

mostly manufacture in like small bathrooms that are like... you

59:10

know in the middle of

59:12

fucking of fucking nowhere. So it's it's

59:14

like if you are into

59:16

toy manufacturing as well as

59:18

selling for you, like the gig that for

59:20

you like the gig that

59:22

would have been good for

59:24

you which is and quality assurance

59:26

and whatever whatever, like

59:28

picking out the locking them up and

59:30

stuff, that job is taken and stuff, that job is

59:33

taken by the train. If you want

59:35

to work you floor, cool, but no one's going

59:37

to give a shit about your best tail wagging

59:39

mechanism to give shit about your best tail wagging mechanism.

59:41

Yeah, and and like McGudden's

59:43

maybe has like like one

59:45

Like shop floor shop toy maker You can

59:47

go and watch the toy maker work or you

59:49

can go and watch the that's the

59:52

something. And I bet that's

59:54

the person your first mate who mate, who

59:56

went over to is like sitting on

59:58

a fucking little stool fucking turning out

1:00:00

elves or some shit. That's

1:00:03

like a total panellipi thing

1:00:05

too or like the thing

1:00:07

that they do in historical

1:00:09

reenactment villages where it's like

1:00:11

you see someone making a

1:00:13

pair of shoes what you

1:00:15

don't see is the second

1:00:18

you leave they unstitched the

1:00:20

shoes they just made and

1:00:22

start over like it's it's

1:00:24

just like manufacturing theater. What's

1:00:26

a total panellipi in my

1:00:28

names? You know from the

1:00:30

Odyssey. She makes, she has

1:00:32

to, she does all the

1:00:35

suitors and she's like, I

1:00:37

have to make my shroud,

1:00:39

fuck off until I've made

1:00:41

the shroud, then I'll marry

1:00:43

you. My shroud takes forever.

1:00:45

And then like, unlooms, unweaves

1:00:47

it every night. Yeah. Mm-hmm.

1:00:50

Totally panelope. Okay. So next

1:00:52

up is we make a

1:00:54

person place and a thing

1:00:56

for each of the suitor,

1:00:58

which is. Pretty self-explanatory. Um,

1:01:00

we can just, we can

1:01:02

just shout them out or

1:01:05

we can go in a

1:01:07

line again, pursuit, or person,

1:01:09

like what they are? No,

1:01:11

it's like a friend or,

1:01:13

oh, yeah, self-explanatory. Sorry, let

1:01:15

me actually read it. Um,

1:01:17

the person is a friend

1:01:19

or alley, enemy or rival

1:01:22

or another acquaintance of the

1:01:24

suitor. places somewhere the suit

1:01:26

of frequency or is associated

1:01:28

with or that the player

1:01:30

wants to see featured in

1:01:32

the game, the thing is

1:01:34

an object suit or own

1:01:37

uses or owns. Since all

1:01:39

the players create these traits,

1:01:41

they can range from positive

1:01:43

negative as do the attributes.

1:01:45

So. Okay. Sorry I'm typing

1:01:47

very loudly. It's okay. If

1:01:50

we have ideas here

1:01:53

shut them out. Okay,

1:02:01

what about

1:02:03

a hot

1:02:05

chocolate and

1:02:08

strutle shop

1:02:10

frequented by

1:02:12

one of

1:02:14

these people?

1:02:16

Okay. Like

1:02:18

1:02:21

1:02:23

windows, there's

1:02:25

a little

1:02:27

model. That...

1:02:30

The guns were so

1:02:32

good though. I'm already

1:02:34

on a name generator

1:02:36

page by the way.

1:02:38

This strutel shop is

1:02:40

called something like, oh,

1:02:42

1:02:44

1:02:59

names. Oh, Jesus Christ.

1:03:01

There's lots of... Subpages

1:03:03

for names of trains

1:03:05

1:03:07

This bakery name generator

1:03:09

1:03:11

too modern because it

1:03:13

suggested those buns do.

1:03:15

No. No. Get out

1:03:17

of here. It also

1:03:20

suggested snack and muffins.

1:03:22

1:03:24

need. That's not helpful

1:03:26

here. It's called the

1:03:28

like the Something Express

1:03:30

and it's got in

1:03:32

its window a little

1:03:34

wooden train set that

1:03:36

1:04:01

on the nose, but

1:04:03

it could be... What

1:04:05

if it was like

1:04:07

what do you use

1:04:09

in shrewd like cinnamon

1:04:11

brown sugar? Butter. That's

1:04:13

it. Eggs the Egg

1:04:17

is the name of

1:04:19

the show. What about

The, I think, I think

1:09:58

suit or one. Just

1:10:01

because every now and then loyal Duncan

1:10:03

gets to pick up one of the

1:10:05

1:18:00

was going to write

1:18:03

1:19:56

if she collects? Collect something?

1:19:58

1:20:01

close to scrapbooking actually. Well,

really really

1:20:37

really strange

1:20:40

face and

1:20:43

this this

1:20:46

person this

1:20:49

is not

1:20:52

my suggestion

1:20:55

um I'm

1:20:59

gonna say that she's a...

1:21:01

She's a design assistant now,

1:21:04

but I was like, would

1:21:06

either of these people have

1:21:09

like stores that have employees?

1:21:11

I guess there's loyal, so

1:21:14

it's fine, that's fine. I

1:21:16

was gonna have like a

1:21:19

design major. I'm gonna change

1:21:21

her, she's an architect now,

1:21:24

I'm sorry. Oh. But

1:21:27

you can still scrapbooks and

1:21:30

collect coins. And that's good

1:21:32

for now. Yeah. Okay. We

1:21:34

don't actually have to do

1:21:37

this. No, no. We're just

1:21:39

getting a little extra detail,

1:21:41

right? Okay. So. The prize

1:21:44

is, we already said it

1:21:46

was getting a window in

1:21:49

the toy maker shop, right?

1:21:51

A window. Like a prominent

1:21:53

window. Oh

1:22:00

wow. Ali, you've gone

1:22:02

real robotty for a

1:22:04

sudden. Yeah. Oh, I'm

1:22:07

glad you were hearing

1:22:09

that too, Janine. Wow.

1:22:11

I think it's the

1:22:13

first story. Oh, Janine

1:22:15

is, Janine is not

1:22:18

okay. What if we

1:22:20

all just leave the

1:22:22

discord call and come

1:22:24

back? Maybe. Yeah, maybe.

1:22:26

Although it seems okay

1:22:28

now. Yeah, it was.

1:22:31

Oh, it even though.

1:22:33

It was red for

1:22:35

a second and now

1:22:37

it's. Yeah, same. Okay.

1:22:39

Must have been like

1:22:42

a discord thing. Um,

1:22:44

just reload YouTube. Okay.

1:22:46

We're still live. Yeah.

1:22:48

Yeah. Where we go.

1:22:50

The stream didn't drop,

1:22:53

which I was surprised

1:22:55

by. Okay, well perfect.

1:22:57

Okay, so now we're

1:22:59

moving on to the

1:23:01

structure of the game,

1:23:03

so we're done. Okay,

1:23:06

so all we have

1:23:08

to do is pick

1:23:10

which character we want

1:23:12

to play and give

1:23:14

them names. There's also

1:23:17

a conflict section that's

1:23:19

optional if you're playing

1:23:21

as two people, then

1:23:23

the beloved is like

1:23:25

PC, essentially. I feel

1:23:28

like we have a

1:23:30

lot here. Yeah. Um,

1:23:32

but yeah, now's the

1:23:34

time. Does anyone have

1:23:36

any strong feelings? Strong

1:23:38

inclinations? I am good

1:23:41

either way. Uh, there

1:23:43

is so... Oh, okay,

1:23:45

go on. Oh, no,

1:23:47

no, no, go ahead.

1:23:49

I was just going

1:23:52

to say really briefly,

1:23:54

like, there's not a

1:23:56

huge difference between like,

1:24:00

playing, playing. The beloved

1:24:02

gets a little bit gets a little

1:24:04

bit more because you get the first

1:24:06

scene because the first scene is focused on

1:24:08

the beloved and their dream and not and

1:24:10

their dream and not the the

1:24:12

suitors the other thing is

1:24:14

is the beloved also the beloved turn is

1:24:16

a little bit different it's

1:24:18

kind of the same idea as

1:24:20

the as the suitors turns, but you you

1:24:22

have to choose something that like

1:24:24

can either sort of affect

1:24:26

people affect affect people or affect

1:24:28

all three of you and depending

1:24:31

on what that is gets

1:24:33

you you more more points essentially and

1:24:35

you can see these little

1:24:37

points underneath the points we keep track

1:24:39

of that stuff. is how we keep track of that

1:24:41

stuff. Yeah. So the beloved has a

1:24:43

like a little bit more little bit

1:24:45

more responsibility but I'm of of like. the

1:24:47

rules lawyer here. so I can just take care

1:24:49

of that either way way in in terms

1:24:51

of like if you're confused about stuff. So

1:24:53

like if you want to be about all

1:24:55

means. like if you want to be the bull

1:24:57

up leaning very slightly

1:25:00

slightly towards Sutter 1 I don't know

1:25:02

if Janine is also leaning is also leaning

1:25:04

you gave Sutter Duncan you gave them extremely powerful

1:25:06

horse. extremely powerful horse. I would not be

1:25:08

a all, like, my nose would not be put nose would

1:25:10

not be put out of a

1:25:12

joint were were like, no I I if want

1:25:14

the very powerful horse because I

1:25:16

know that I'm gonna get to meet

1:25:18

this horse going to get of what I

1:25:20

choose. I, more than anything, want

1:25:22

to see what you can do with Loyal

1:25:24

anything and the to see what you can do with Loyal

1:25:26

Duncan and Ransom put myself down

1:25:28

for Suitsa Okay. case. Thank

1:25:31

you. myself down for Suu to

1:25:33

one in that case. Thank you. I'd

1:25:35

I'd be okay playing

1:25:37

either suit or or two

1:25:39

or the beloved. I think my think

1:25:41

my biggest thing that's that's

1:25:43

affecting me in either way is still

1:25:46

a little confused about how the

1:25:48

turns actually look, but that'll be

1:25:50

resolved when we're playing, so it's

1:25:52

fine. but that will be resolved

1:25:54

when we're playing, so

1:25:56

it's fine. Yeah, I'm sorry I'm

1:25:58

just three. Um, yeah, if it's

1:26:01

if it's purely a if it's

1:26:03

if it's purely a mechanics

1:26:05

concern, I will help

1:26:07

you It's fine so far, so far. not.

1:26:10
