Episode 18 - Accord

Hosts: Jim, Jon & Kent

Guest: 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.

We build a galactic spiral arm in which magic and technology co-exist and humans and other strange species band together to defend against a threat that seeks dominion over all. WARNING: This setting combines Science Fiction and Fantasy. If that's not your cup of tea, you may want to skip this one to avoid having to crawl into a corner and rock yourself back and forth to comfort yourself against the sacrilege. In the mean time, we'll be having fun riding our magical space ships. ;)
