Episode 639: This Appendix Should Not Have Been Printed

Ken and Robin Talk About Stuff

In the Gaming Hut we look at optional rules. What does it mean to designate a rule as optional, and what rules are we likely to put in that bucket?

The History Hut profiles 19th century utopian sect leader Barthélemy-Prosper Enfantin, who advocated for free love and the Suez Canal.

Prompted from a question by beloved Patreon backer Ross Ireland, How to Write Good reveals the software tools and online resources we use in our work.

Finally, at the behest of estimable Patreon backer Steve Dempsey, the Consulting Occultist fulfills its Canadian content requirements with a look at William Lyon Mackenzie King, who served for a total of 21 years as Prime Minister while secretly engaged in spiritualist inquiry.
