Podcast | Radio Free Deimos

Blueskies! Those tiny drifting city-stations that just don’t get enough press! We start on these, with an author interview from Emmi and a generous helping of chatter from the hosts. If you haven’t yet gone to the HSD Kickstarter, don’t miss your chance! [https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wgfproductions/hc-svnt-dracones-20-mastered] We’ll be leaning much more heavily on fan content for the next several episodes as we go in some new directions for the podcast. We name-dropped Maya Glass [http://www.radiofreedeimos.com/2019/01/maya-glass/], the unofficial head of Marsco’s unofficial Bluesky subdivision. This will probably be expanded a fair bit as we start exploring the solar system. This month, Corbeau thought it would be a good idea to sublet Voltaire Station, we were short on cash after dumping way too much money on the kickstarter. We leased out levels 2-5 of the station to Parallax [http://www.radiofreedeimos.com/2019/01/parallax-a-pulse-subsidiary-for-hc-svnt-dracones/], Sol’s travel agency. As it turns out, there is no level 3, 4, or 5 in Voltaire Station. So we’re making do with Asaph Hall studio and the break room. Along with this change in venue, or at least venue paint job, we have some new theme music from furry musician Leme [https://www.furaffinity.net/user/leme]. You can listen to the full piece, “Mars [https://www.furaffinity.net/view/41411409/]“, on Furaffinity. Thank you Leme!! News this week: we chatter a bit about the somewhat new Historical Dictionary of Science Fiction [https://sfdictionary.com/], which is apparently no longer associated with the Oxford English Dictionary. It’s still pretty neat.

Let’s talk about how PCs can start their own corporations, and maybe what that minicorp might look like. A fair bit of today’s episode references a 2016 article “Exotic Options [http://www.radiofreedeimos.com/2016/12/exotic-options-minicorps/],” which goes into a bit more game detail on some of the corporate builds we discuss. We also mention “Cynosure [http://www.radiofreedeimos.com/2019/02/cynosure/],” a large-but-not-quite Mega, which might be fun to play around in. This was written up for a setting piece, “Arc Bay, [http://www.radiofreedeimos.com/2019/02/perihelion/]” which you may want to flip through. Too-late callout to the kickstarter TRPG “The Well [https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/shoelesspetegames/the-well-roleplaying-game/description],” full of fun necromantic nonsense, and to Furry Migration’s New Years [https://www.furrymigration.org/2020/11/join-us-for-new-years/] party. If you’re there, look for Khaladog and Whiyena! Thanks to Sirius Beat for our intro music, “Future Club [https://soundcloud.com/sirius-beat/future-club],” and outro music, “Tronicles [https://soundcloud.com/sirius-beat/tronicles].” Our fun, modular header art is by Absyfield [http://www.furaffinity.net/user/abysfield/], (Thank you Ashley!) and Whines is our audio engineer.

A little gift for the holidays, Emmi joins us on Voltaire Station to chat about her upcoming Kickstarter, the resource and option guide! Lots of good previews this week, we’re very happy that she could join us!

Following up on our “Welcome to TTI” episode, two very special guests – first, HSD author Emmi joins us to clear up some confusion we were creating in #65, drop some previews, and talk a little bit about some TTI lore that may not have gotten airtime before. Then Tygon comes to visit Voltaire Station – Tygon is a TTI fan and has perhaps a more upbeat attitude toward TTI in particular and HSD on the whole than the usual hosts do, and we love it when he can be a part of things. Thank you both! Emmi’s interview runs for the first 34 minutes of this quite long episode, so you can pause it there to get a cup of space coffee or whatever… With thanks to Sirius Beat for our intro music, “Future Club [https://soundcloud.com/sirius-beat/future-club],” and outro music, “Tronicles [https://soundcloud.com/sirius-beat/tronicles].” Our fun, modular header art is by Absyfield [http://www.furaffinity.net/user/abysfield/], (Thank you Ashley!) and Whines is our audio engineer.

After close to 20 episodes, we’re wrapping up our series on the megacorps with a pair of episodes on TTI!
