Over the last couple of months I've been listening through these and have been really loving them! You all do such great job. I'm not completely caught up yet. I'm on 40c at the moment. But yeah, thanks for doing these. It's probably my favorite series since I joined SA.

Margret is probably my favorite character of the group. She's has such a unique dynamic with all the other characters. I can't imagine she really like any of the members, but is tagging along because the Empire needs her to. So it's always a bit disappointing when PoorWeather isn't there, but hey, if she's busy then she's busy. Real life and responsibilities tend to get in the way of fun and we, as listeners, have to respect you guys' time.

Agatha is actually speaking all the time in a frequency only Felines can hear.

Manuel can hear it to, but he pretends he can't because he doesn't want to draw that kind of attention to himself.

Fortunately for us, due to the Nyquist theorem (or Nyquist Frequency) the highest possible frequency of a digital waveform is half it's sample rate. So as long these podcasts aren't in anything above 44.1k Agatha's messages (most likely dastardly plans for a cat rebellion) shall go unheard. Unfortunately for us, cats pretty much already rule so I don't get what her plan really is. Clearly she hadn't thought this through very well.

The elf queen is probably evil. You can't trust an elf. Elf begins with "E" and so does evil. Coincidence? I think not!

It took me a while to realize that the Great Gold Wyrm wasn't the Great Gold Worm since when I first started listening to this podcast I didn't really look at the thread to avoid spoilers. I was way more on board with it when I thought it was a giant earth worm.

If you guys are looking for original music I'd love to help out once I'm a bit more settled (I'll be moving soon). In the meantime I might have theme that could work. I wrote it years ago for a podcast that never went anywhere but am a big fan of it. The person back then wanted something similar to the Black Books theme. I'd probably do a new version though as I've gotten much better software and know how to use it better. It's also probably too long.

Regardless I was thinking about doing some sort of musical fanart for series sometime. Probably call it something dumb like "Lame Ugly."

It still has a Wizard painted on the side, we've decided.

Awwwhhh yeah. They should be fighting a dragon and the back should have a lovely serene mountain painting on the back that people behind you can't see through. There should be bumper stickers too, but I can't think of any good ones. "My other ride is Small Rigby"...? "#1 Grand Handsome fan"...? "World's greatest mom"...? (for Margret obviously)

How come I have a feeling that the first thing that will happen in Session 47 is that the B.A.T.T.L.E.V.A.N. will crash and they'll have to end up walking the whole way?

Margret is just a big fan of Suikoden 4 and is always cosplaying as Paula. (That's what the art of that pog is from) Which is kind of interesting since that character has a sort of similar story as Margret. She was also an elf who grew up in human culture, joined the military, and has doesn't really want to be a part of elf culture. However that character has little to no personality and was largely forgettable in a large cast of other largely forgettable characters.

So Slots is basically Cait Sith from FF7, right? He's actually a remote controlled dummy controlled by a good guy who's on the bad guy's side. So who is he secretly controlled by? My guess is someone that's rather gilded. Perhaps even golden. Who's tones could only recreated using brass instruments.

I always pictured Claude looking like the guy who played Hercules in all those Italian Hercules movies from the 50's and 60's. Y'know the ones that were episodes of MST3k. Apparently that guy's name is Steve Reeves and he had a not-so-impressive beard.

But really. I imagine that.. what's her name (I'm terrible with names).. the changeling could do something about Claude's condition. Or at least give him mech armor which is essentially a solution to a problem Claude has (in that he doesn't have mech armor.)

That new intro is incredible, good gosh. Wolfshirt really outdid himself there.

My favorite moment of the 49 episodes out? Definitely Margaret's ridiculous skulk-fest over at Equinox Manor. "If anyone comes near these tents they're getting an arrow right between the eyes. I don't care if they're ten years old." Thanks Margo, you're my favorite.

The poker game in the hellhole was also absolutely incredible, and a definite highlight.

My favorite moment was when the rest of the gang met Margret's step sister and Margret wanted so little to do with it she just ignored everyone and hung out underwater.

On the subject of non-cannon side characters. A couple of weeks ago I had a idea that involved a campaign of the Goldenbrass extended family. I don't remember much of it, but they all had similar names. The one that stood out the most of Gilder's younger brother, the Gallant Gelder "the Elder" Goldenbrass. Nicknamed such due to the Goldbrass family tradition of ironic rhyming nicknames. He was also always referred to by his full name, nick name, and title. Unlike his older brother though, he was a pretty cool dude. I don't remember much of goal of dream campaign outside of a bit about the history of the family.

It's awkward admitting all this.

I've been relistening to the older ones and Session 7a is definitely an all time classic. Margret's indecision about what to ask of the Seer to Old Man Nav. I think that's even where they decide to build a restaurant in the Battle Barge.

Admittedly, while I really enjoyed the Breakfast Cult podcasts, I found keeping track of everything a bit difficult. The GM sounded a bit nervous too. hehe, but still did a great job. Chet was undoubtedly the star of the show. He fed a door to a plant. He's soooooo dreamy. The game sounds really neat. I see that it is well passed it's funding goal.

Also! If anyone reading liked the background music, some of it was mine. I wrote up an unfocused, unproof-read, verbose, technobabbly blog about the three pieces I wrote and what I learned. You can read it here if you're so inclined.
