"La Cucaracha" destroyed me. XD

I shall continue to spell it "Baal-Tyrannowrack" and assume he is a giant, angry dinosaur.

...Or Baltor Anorak, and assume he is comfy and warm in the winter.

Awesome! Finally the Wraith’s Rogues Gallery! Must try and get a question in for that one!

I think the Writers' Room format will be interesting. My favorite part of this podcast is hearing Christopher and Adam tell stories - I think that's why I liked the OblivAeon episodes best, why I like the questions that unexpectedly provoke 20-minute stories, and why the Patreon votes have been focusing on such granular topics, as Christopher put it. Anything that lets C&A punch up the storytelling while giving them a mechanism to build up content for future games sounds good to me!

Speaking of Gen Con, if anyone is going to be there and doesn’t have a question they want to ask (and therefore would be willing to ask one on my behalf) I would very much appreciate it.

It’s one I’ve been wondering for a while, and I HAVE sent it in, but it’s unimportant enough that they probably won’t address it unless it’s asked live. (In fact, they just had an episode involving the character it’s about, so I’m pretty sure they decided to ignore it.) And thanks to my unpredictable work schedule and tight financial situation, I can’t make it myself.

If not that’s fine, but if someone is willing to do that for me I would appreciate it a lot!

Somewhere out there in the MultiVerse, there’s a reality in which the fans refused to vote for the Writers Room concept. I wonder what the podcast is like in that world.

I have hated the name (to use my intuitive assumption of how it was spelled) Tyrannorak ever since it first came up. Baal’Tyrannotrak was better, but it still came across as an intentionally dumb and generic name for a weird alien tyrant monster. Despite also being a dumb joke, your comment has saved it. I’ll be spelling it Tyr’Anorak from now on. That’s so much better.

There’s an image somewhere “in comics”, I have no recollection of where exactly I saw it, but it was branded forever on my consciousness…the New Gods comics had mentioned a Source Wall, but in this comic we actually saw it, and there were all these godlike alien figures who had tried to rule the universe, failed in the attempt, and been mortared into the Source Wall as consequence (either sentenced by God as a punishment, or simply automatically getting absorbed by this thing they unsuccessfully grasped tried to control but couldn’t). I think Sentinel Comics also has a version of that, and the question of what realities do or do not split is somehow answered by that wall. I don’t quite remember the brainwave I had when I started writing here, but I think the half complete idea is enough, given what a vast cosmic unknown it relates to.

I want a VOTM deck for Tyr’Anorak, where he’s a non-target.
