Episode Notes We did it! Thank you so much to everyone who listened to the pod. This episode, we watched the film adaptation of Eragon! It's not what I would call a good movie, but I enjoyed it. I don't know that everyone else will have the same reaction... While this is coming out now we did record it a month ago so if you sent in an email we did not get it in time! We will probably try to address it another time, though!…

Episode Notes We're back with the first half of 2023's Murtagh! Join us as we see...that it's quite a bit like To Sleep in a Sea of Stars. This is the author that Chris has evolved into, for good or ill. We think it's for ill. Regardless, you'd best start believin' in RPG plots; you're in one!

Episode Notes We're back! Much like in Eragon, the dragons have returned and its our job to read about them. This episode we read The Fork, the Witch, & the Worm, a collection of short stories set in the world of Eragon! These are all little vignettes with framing devices as Eragon hears. watches, or reads about the mysterious goings on in the world around him. It's a good time mostly! When we next return we will be beginning our reading of Murtagh!…
