Crucible Of Realms

Hosts: Jim, Jon & KentGuest: John "Scooter" Weaver In this episode we create a burgeoning city full of humans making its way in the world on the edge of three nonhuman lands. In this fantasy world, the human kingdoms do all they can to get a leg-up on their competition, and political backstabbing is the norm. And all the while, the elves, dwarves and orcs watch them as they move closer and closer to danger.RECOMMENDATIONS: Jim recommends Trader Tales: Quarter Share by Nathan Lowell. Jon recommends Giant in the Playground & Order of the Stick.Mentioned in this Episode:Dungeons & DragonsThieves' WorldFritz Leiber / Fafhrd & the Gray MouserBlack Hills Gold RushConvicts in AustraliaDUNE / The SpiceBalance of TerrorThe Fisher KingHouses of the BloodedWicker ManBritanniaChivalry / Courtly LoveThe Bishop!LeviathanStar Trek / Kirk WomanizingDark SunChargé d'affairesHoovervilleDyson Sphere / Dyson Vacuum CleanersLowe'sStilgar / House Atreides / Muad'dibPresidio / The PresidioSolomon's Porch / Colo
