The Gauntlet After Dark – Weird DR Bookends

For whatever reason, I always want to post weird things at night. I usually stop myself, but this one is too interesting to pass up…

David LaFreniere and I have been doing Discern Realities for a year now, and he just finished editing Episode 36. On a lark, he decided to listen to Episode 1 again, just to reflect on where we’ve been, and he noticed some cool parallels between Episode 1 and Episode 36. Here they are, for your amusement:

1. We begin Episode 1 by talking about Dragon Magazine, and we mention Dragon Magazine again on Episode 36.

2. In Episode 1, I refer to Epidiah Ravachol as a “friend.” In Episode 36, I loudly yell “Everyone is my friend!” (though it gets edited out in the final cut).

3. In the first segment of Episode 1, we talk about a player whose character dies in the first session, but later comes back to life. In addition to foreshadowing Ramshackle Crow’s eventual death & resurrection, we also leave Ramshackle in a near-death cliffhanger at the end of Episode 36.

4. In Episode 1, we talk about a magic item called the Ebony Cat, and in the stinger of Episode 36, David mentions how much he hates cats.

I love little synchronicities like that, haha.
