Portland has been about 10x busier than usual with helicopters (and F-16s). I can only imagine what Chicago is going through right now.

Keith Ammann 🔜 Gamehole Con @themonstersknow.com · 1d

It's a small thing amid all the other things, but I can report that we've been listening to helicopters overhead ALL. MORNING.

Chicago does not normally get this amount of helicopter traffic. Like, usually when a helicopter flies overhead, kids point and yell, "Helicopter!"

It's been nonstop.

The Fourth Age | Book Three @calltoadventure.bsky.social · 4d

Tomorrow, The Fourth Age comes to an end...

The forces of The Dark Tree descend upon the Reunited Kingdom of Arnor and Gondor. And all that stand between this ancient evil and the ruination of Middle-earth are six heroes: a fellowship.

Our third and final season begins tomorrow, 12:30pm Pacific.

Six individuals stood together, looking down into a cloudy valley:

- Theodas. A muscular Elf with strong dark features, framed by a thick, greying beard, wearing a grey cloak over a dull golden chestpiece.
- Iairen. A human with handsome, dark features, his face framed with long brown hair with a soft kink to it, wearing a dark blue robe. He holds a spherical seeing-stone in his hands.
- Mistiel. An Elf with beautiful dark features and long white braids, wearing a hooded auburn cloak over dark leather armour.
- Eona. A woman with tanned features and long black hair, intertwined with golden scales, wearing heavy brown leather armour and a single steel pauldron with fur lining.
- Chicory Taproot. A Hobbit with delicate, pale features, and wavy brown hair, wearing a flowing purple dress, with white frills and an apron.
- Aerlind. A tall and handsome Elf with deep black, straight hair and elven robes in shades of sea blues and greens. In his hand he carries a golden astrolabe.

Above them are the words "The Fourth Age: Book Three" and below them "An original The One Ring adventure. October 7th, 12:30pm Pacific."

We made a little 3-ep show about:
the advent of fascism in the early adulthood - of the grandmother - of a character from Rally

An EXTREMELY niche undertaking steeped in ethnoreligious diaspora. It was really for us.

Anyway, it just won best podcast at the Sydney Web Festival.
