David Peterson: And it looks better from the side, it looks better from this side.

6
00:00:24.060 --> 00:00:26.040
Jessie Sams: It looks better if we're not on a podcast.

7
00:00:29.730 --> 00:00:35.910
David Peterson: Well that's that's gonna be tough because today's topic is shadow puppets and it was going to be highly visual.

8
00:00:36.810 --> 00:00:39.450
Jessie Sams: I only know one.

9
00:00:41.670 --> 00:00:42.330

11
00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:49.590
Jessie Sams: I just I just did a would you call that a bird or butterfly.

12
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:55.440
David Peterson: yeah it's a bird that's that's the bird second appearance appearance on this podcast as we will recall.

13
00:00:56.220 --> 00:01:06.330
Jessie Sams: Yes, it is except I think last time it appeared, it also made some noises because it was your bird and pretty sure you put in some car noises.

14
00:01:08.910 --> 00:01:09.270
Jessie Sams: Okay.

15
00:01:10.470 --> 00:01:12.240
Jessie Sams: It should have turned out oh.

16
00:01:13.980 --> 00:01:14.700
Jessie Sams: not ready for that.

17
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:16.380
David Peterson: that's mine let's hear yours.

18
00:01:17.070 --> 00:01:20.100
Jessie Sams: No that's good, I think that is the ultimate bird sound.

19
00:01:21.390 --> 00:01:22.200
Jessie Sams: So.

20
00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:24.510
David Peterson: Reciprocity come on.

21
00:01:25.170 --> 00:01:26.490
Jessie Sams: I never guaranteed that.

22
00:01:31.350 --> 00:01:44.220
Jessie Sams: Okay, so today, David is taking over the topic and I have no idea what we're talking about other than bird calls and shadow puppets, so I am excited to find out what the topic is.

23
00:01:45.240 --> 00:01:54.990
David Peterson: Well, I thought, today, we could so first another little plug for our patrons that aren't there yet, we have a patreon discord now.

24
00:01:55.530 --> 00:02:07.140
David Peterson: which you can be a part of if you're a patron do you do you know, like how many patrons like it's really active, but I don't know how many patrons are actually on the discord view.

25
00:02:08.130 --> 00:02:11.880
Jessie Sams: I can definitely check if you want to keep talking.

26
00:02:12.630 --> 00:02:13.530
Jessie Sams: And we do.

27
00:02:14.070 --> 00:02:15.720
David Peterson: Know i'm already checking.

28
00:02:16.650 --> 00:02:19.680
Jessie Sams: Eight 912 1328.

29
00:02:19.770 --> 00:02:20.580
Jessie Sams: We have 28.

30
00:02:21.720 --> 00:02:33.300
David Peterson: We have 28 people on the discord but only but, but we have 47 patrons so means some of you are not joining in the fun.

31
00:02:33.750 --> 00:02:34.860
Jessie Sams: And that's fine for you.

32
00:02:34.980 --> 00:02:36.720
Jessie Sams: But we not have discord.

33
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:41.100
David Peterson: We will be loving fines and sanctions so.

34
00:02:41.370 --> 00:02:43.590
Jessie Sams: Okay outright lie, I just want to point that out.

35
00:02:43.860 --> 00:02:44.880
Jessie Sams: You don't have to join.

36
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:45.750
David Peterson: Okay.

37
00:02:45.990 --> 00:02:49.770
Jessie Sams: All right, but you should, if you have discord if you don't, then I totally get it.

38
00:02:50.190 --> 00:03:01.890
David Peterson: yeah you just need it, I mean you don't even have to have it, you just need to hit your your monthly minimum for the number of discord posts in order to qualify for credit right.

39
00:03:04.500 --> 00:03:06.720
Jessie Sams: and David is keeping track of all of it.

40
00:03:07.920 --> 00:03:10.470
David Peterson: Right same way I keep track of everything just in my.

41
00:03:10.470 --> 00:03:10.770
head.

42
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:16.230
Jessie Sams: And we know how well that goes from week to week and live streams.

43
00:03:16.500 --> 00:03:17.460
David Peterson: extremely well.

44
00:03:19.980 --> 00:03:25.770
David Peterson: Just just want to warn everybody it wasn't full screen, but it is now.

45
00:03:29.370 --> 00:03:31.800
David Peterson: My my my zoom full screen.

46
00:03:31.830 --> 00:03:34.890
Jessie Sams: Oh OK cuz you know that doesn't affect their view.

47
00:03:34.920 --> 00:03:37.560
David Peterson: Just you know, no, no, just me just me.

48
00:03:37.740 --> 00:03:41.400
Jessie Sams: Okay, so you were just excited about full screen mode gotcha.

49
00:03:41.460 --> 00:03:44.640
David Peterson: Now now i'm bigger and I don't like it.

50
00:03:45.930 --> 00:03:47.970
Jessie Sams: I mean that's what happens when you go full screen.

51
00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:52.290
David Peterson: yeah it does yeah last night I.

52
00:03:53.310 --> 00:03:57.390
David Peterson: I was up until 630 in the morning cortina new font.

53
00:03:59.370 --> 00:04:03.120
Jessie Sams: Yes, I hear the adventures of curling are in the details.

54
00:04:04.140 --> 00:04:15.210
David Peterson: yeah I, and I discovered at the very end, right after I produced the font version 1.0 of the font that one of the characters that was in there was like oh now this looks terrible, it has to change immediately.

55
00:04:16.260 --> 00:04:28.260
David Peterson: And furthermore, that character had its own current in class So when I am when I changed it it pulled it into another current in class, which meant that that just added needless minutes.

56
00:04:29.490 --> 00:04:32.250
David Peterson: Current that class that I ended up deleting with you.

57
00:04:32.550 --> 00:04:32.970
Jessie Sams: and

58
00:04:33.210 --> 00:04:39.690
Jessie Sams: If nobody knows what carding is, you should look it up K er in Ai engine because.

59
00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:42.540
Jessie Sams: It is very, very interesting in terms of getting.

60
00:04:42.870 --> 00:04:44.220
Jessie Sams: Through that shapes.

61
00:04:44.520 --> 00:04:53.430
Jessie Sams: to fit together now I just realized, it was a very up few whatever we're on a podcast they're listening to us, they don't need to know about our camera angles.

62
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:55.260
David Peterson: I think they do.

63
00:04:55.860 --> 00:04:59.910
David Peterson: I mean I I met at nine right now now.

64
00:05:01.590 --> 00:05:04.890
David Peterson: At 7.5 no idiot idiot on add.

65
00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:11.310
Jessie Sams: What are you at even I don't even know i'd have to like turn my laptop sideways to truly see.

66
00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:18.600
Jessie Sams: How much of an angle, I have, and that seems like a lot of work, so instead i'm going to let you take over the topic.

67
00:05:19.290 --> 00:05:39.360
David Peterson: Now So yes, following on our patrons suggestion I thought it would be fun to talk about board games and role playing games today, and you know our history with them and as they interweave with language, since I think that's what we're supposed to be talking about right language or something.

68
00:05:39.810 --> 00:05:45.870
Jessie Sams: I mean, really, that is the focus of what we do at length time studio So yes, that would be good.

69
00:05:46.440 --> 00:05:46.800
yeah.

70
00:05:47.970 --> 00:05:52.710
David Peterson: I think, though, to start us off i'll just i'll just monologue for.

71
00:05:53.850 --> 00:05:56.010
David Peterson: 45 minutes, so you.

72
00:05:56.070 --> 00:05:57.240
Jessie Sams: Know i'ma go take a nap.

73
00:05:58.710 --> 00:05:59.910
David Peterson: that's that's fine.

74
00:06:00.270 --> 00:06:04.470
David Peterson: that's fine I am periodically, though, you will hear.

75
00:06:07.140 --> 00:06:09.030
Jessie Sams: i'll be sure to just you know turn off the sound.

76
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:11.460
David Peterson: When I make sure that you're listening.

77
00:06:12.540 --> 00:06:27.330
David Peterson: But you know I did want to mention, so I know that i've talked about it on the stream before, but you know the entire thing that we're doing with Lang time studio right is we're creating languages for a board game that I have planned.

78
00:06:28.770 --> 00:06:32.220
David Peterson: which, of course, you know Jesse has never played.

79
00:06:33.990 --> 00:06:39.090
David Peterson: To do it, you know not existing also it's kind of difficult no I should tell you this.

80
00:06:40.140 --> 00:06:53.070
David Peterson: I don't know why I didn't mention this before actually did mock up of version not like you know with graphics or anything but i've mocked up a version of playable version in table top.

81
00:06:55.320 --> 00:06:57.990
David Peterson: shoot simulator.

82
00:07:00.210 --> 00:07:13.020
David Peterson: I think it's tabletop simulator it's on steam and there's two big ones right and it's the one that's less where the the icon is less pretty I guess.

83
00:07:13.830 --> 00:07:24.150
David Peterson: I think it's tabletop simulator but anyway, you can use tabletop simulator and if two people have steam and tabletop simulator you can actually you know play board games.

84
00:07:24.540 --> 00:07:25.380
Jessie Sams: over the Internet.

85
00:07:26.580 --> 00:07:28.530
Jessie Sams: that's super cool i'd never heard of that.

86
00:07:30.450 --> 00:07:32.640
David Peterson: yeah it's it's very.

87
00:07:33.900 --> 00:07:44.880
David Peterson: I don't want to say low tech but it's almost like it's a physics engine so, for example, like you, actually, you can make the dice right, which I did, and you can put whatever you want on them.

88
00:07:45.300 --> 00:07:53.970
David Peterson: But it's like you just have these little disembodied hands and so to roll the dice it's not like there's a roll the dice button you actually have to go and pick it up and pick it up like this and drop it.

89
00:07:55.230 --> 00:07:56.670
Jessie Sams: That that would throw me off.

90
00:07:57.120 --> 00:07:57.510
Jessie Sams: Okay.

91
00:07:57.990 --> 00:08:02.790
David Peterson: But there's also they also add this fantastic button, which is a flip the table button.

92
00:08:03.180 --> 00:08:04.170
David Peterson: You know now anger.

93
00:08:04.710 --> 00:08:04.980
So you.

94
00:08:06.660 --> 00:08:07.560
David Peterson: throw everything all.

95
00:08:08.100 --> 00:08:09.780
David Peterson: necessary for any board game.

96
00:08:10.710 --> 00:08:17.190
David Peterson: yeah anyway so going back to going back to the days of my youth.

97
00:08:18.930 --> 00:08:30.390
David Peterson: I had a you know I had a Nintendo and a super Nintendo growing up in a gameboy like I was just a all Nintendo am like Jesse of course grew up with all the systems, the moment that they came out.

98
00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:36.750
David Peterson: She was very you know tech savvy and fashion forward.

99
00:08:37.470 --> 00:08:39.870
Jessie Sams: That sounds that sounds exactly like my childhood.

100
00:08:40.410 --> 00:08:46.080
David Peterson: yeah you're kind of a you're kind of a trend setter for rural Missouri.

101
00:08:47.430 --> 00:08:51.240
Jessie Sams: yeah me to qualify for rural Missouri.

102
00:08:54.330 --> 00:08:55.380
Jessie Sams: In case people don't know.

103
00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:58.110
Jessie Sams: If this is your first month experiencing.

104
00:08:58.230 --> 00:09:08.460
Jessie Sams: lag time, maybe we should point out here how sarcastic David is being not about his own background with technology, but about my childhood and how.

105
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:11.850
Jessie Sams: I did not have any.

106
00:09:13.380 --> 00:09:19.500
Jessie Sams: Technology outside of TV that you know, for a long time didn't even have a remote will turn dial.

107
00:09:20.850 --> 00:09:29.190
David Peterson: I know you really have you really had an incredible or childhood for somebody whose father was a professional baseball player.

108
00:09:29.730 --> 00:09:31.230
David Peterson: Because I don't think everybody knows.

109
00:09:31.290 --> 00:09:39.060
Jessie Sams: What they do now, no, but he That was a very short lived he played very briefly with the cardinals very briefly.

110
00:09:39.870 --> 00:09:43.710
Jessie Sams: So that was not it's not like I grew up the enchanted child of.

111
00:09:44.760 --> 00:09:45.300
Jessie Sams: I don't know.

112
00:09:46.650 --> 00:09:49.140
David Peterson: It was the St Louis cardinals though I mean it's.

113
00:09:50.280 --> 00:09:58.020
David Peterson: it's it's usually if you say my dad was a pro baseball player it's you know he played for the Montgomery biscuits you know.

114
00:09:59.040 --> 00:10:00.840
Jessie Sams: Which which is awesome.

115
00:10:01.290 --> 00:10:02.910
David Peterson: Which is a real team.

116
00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:06.450
David Peterson: By the way, look up that logo you'll be pleased.

117
00:10:07.500 --> 00:10:07.830
David Peterson: I.

118
00:10:07.860 --> 00:10:09.300
Jessie Sams: will definitely look that up.

119
00:10:11.400 --> 00:10:13.590
Jessie Sams: I would hope so, otherwise.

120
00:10:14.910 --> 00:10:16.140
Jessie Sams: They are misnamed.

121
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:16.860
yeah.

122
00:10:18.390 --> 00:10:23.610
David Peterson: we're going to need to do something with the other side of my hair like this side went well this I did not go as well.

123
00:10:23.670 --> 00:10:25.530
David Peterson: So I didn't mean to derail.

124
00:10:25.680 --> 00:10:27.960
Jessie Sams: You talking about nintendo's and.

125
00:10:27.990 --> 00:10:30.420
Jessie Sams: gaming systems right.

126
00:10:30.540 --> 00:10:31.680
Jessie Sams: except to point out.

127
00:10:32.190 --> 00:10:34.860
Jessie Sams: If you don't know was yet that's something to know.

128
00:10:37.050 --> 00:10:53.220
David Peterson: Right okay so and I wouldn't say it was sarcasm, because of course sarcasm comes from the Greek and it means to cut you know I wasn't I wasn't trying to hurt I was, I was trying to just lie.

129
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:55.230
So that.

130
00:10:56.370 --> 00:11:01.950
David Peterson: To trick people but not you, I mean because he lived it yeah I can't trick you right.

139
00:11:33.990 --> 00:11:36.780
David Peterson: I guess that everybody was just a little town as they were.

140
00:11:37.020 --> 00:11:41.970
David Peterson: anxiously you know breathlessly waiting what was going to happen with the Iran contra scandal.

141
00:11:52.560 --> 00:11:53.280
Jessie Sams: Going back.

142
00:11:54.150 --> 00:11:54.540
yeah.

143
00:11:57.030 --> 00:12:06.750
David Peterson: Thank you, my friend blaine had a he had a he had a turbo graphics 16 but he also had a genesis.

144
00:12:07.890 --> 00:12:13.830
David Peterson: And one of the games on the genesis is called shining force that there was shining force one and two.

145
00:12:14.880 --> 00:12:29.760
David Peterson: And it's one of the most amazing video games, I have ever seen it's often been replicated in terms of its style in my mind somewhat less successfully better than what it essentially is it's a turn based.

146
00:12:31.410 --> 00:12:35.970
David Peterson: Strategy combat game, so I think i've got that right.

147
00:12:37.410 --> 00:12:43.350
David Peterson: So for those who are familiar with more modern games X COM is similar and.

148
00:12:44.760 --> 00:12:51.420
David Peterson: Fire emblem that's it I played fire emblem for a bit I couldn't get into it, I don't know why anyway, but.

149
00:12:52.890 --> 00:12:56.220
David Peterson: shiny force has like it, you know, one of the.

150
00:12:57.660 --> 00:13:03.510
David Peterson: I want to say, like one of the worst world building aspects i've ever seen it like really poor graphics even for the time.

151
00:13:04.860 --> 00:13:13.680
David Peterson: At least with the overhead map but it's the system that it's just so amazing you play a bunch of different characters and a little army.

152
00:13:14.280 --> 00:13:21.330
David Peterson: And they're just a whole bunch of different battles that's a little game is there some rpg stuff in the middle, but mainly it's for the battles.

153
00:13:21.810 --> 00:13:36.030
David Peterson: And you you play one character, at a time, and you move your characters across the map and the bad guys move there across the map and you fight each other, you attempt to to beat the bad guys it's really interesting they had like.

154
00:13:37.410 --> 00:13:52.140
David Peterson: embedded in this like even though i'm sure nobody ever wrote this down, but their world buildings really strange like they had centers and all the centaurs were always nights and then they were like just a random.

155
00:13:53.430 --> 00:14:04.920
David Peterson: Like yeah there's one person looks like a horse girl and they're they're elves nails are always archers in there bird people at the whack people with swords.

156
00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:13.770
David Peterson: There was a wolf guy and one of the Games actually I think both of the Games there, there was a wolf guy in both of the Games, but the turtle man.

157
00:14:15.630 --> 00:14:22.440
David Peterson: All kinds of stuff like this and there was like also randomly a ninja and then also a samurai it just took from everywhere and just throw it all in there.

158
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:33.030
David Peterson: and on a flying jellyfish you could do really good magic and I always called him either Mr box lower Mr Doc slow, because you can name the characters.

159
00:14:33.510 --> 00:14:36.150
Jessie Sams: It feels like you're describing eight different games right now.

160
00:14:36.780 --> 00:14:39.450
Jessie Sams: I hope that they're all the same game it's really amazing anyway so.

161
00:14:40.380 --> 00:14:55.800
David Peterson: It was really fun and i've found ways to play it over the years, again and again originally on me later on a computer, then they had one version that you can download for the phone and then that one got out mode and then they got a new one, and so I have that.

162
00:14:57.210 --> 00:15:04.830
David Peterson: I don't know and it's just than they had one for the gameboy advance that came out, it was even better, even though I didn't have a gameboy advance, I had the emulator.

163
00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:16.860
David Peterson: I was very cheap in college so, but it was just it was that aspect of turn based combat that I found so much fun.

164
00:15:17.520 --> 00:15:34.230
David Peterson: And so I thought it would do very well as a board game, and it was partially inspired by a game that my friend ash had called hero quest that was somewhat similar but much more rpg based and essentially now we have the grown ups version of that in gloom haven.

165
00:15:35.490 --> 00:15:37.560
David Peterson: But I wanted to.

166
00:15:38.670 --> 00:15:38.970
David Peterson: tear.

167
00:15:40.800 --> 00:15:41.880
Jessie Sams: Do we need to not ignore.

168
00:15:41.880 --> 00:15:42.120
That.

169
00:15:43.830 --> 00:15:45.930
David Peterson: No, no, no, I mean.

170
00:15:47.340 --> 00:15:48.120
David Peterson: yeah boy.

171
00:15:50.130 --> 00:15:51.030
David Peterson: Now alright so.

172
00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:59.910
David Peterson: Okay, so yeah so I want to create a game like that right and and I found a way to crack the.

173
00:16:01.380 --> 00:16:05.280
David Peterson: computerized aspect of it or the you know the.

174
00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:11.880
David Peterson: I don't know what the word is for this, the part where their computer does it, you know.

175
00:16:13.320 --> 00:16:14.670
Jessie Sams: Oh, like.

176
00:16:15.570 --> 00:16:17.640
Jessie Sams: like an automated opponent kind of thing.

177
00:16:18.450 --> 00:16:20.100
David Peterson: Yes, the audit the automated thing okay so.

178
00:16:21.510 --> 00:16:31.950
David Peterson: The thing that the computer does that, so you know that that makes it so fun is that every single one of your characters is a speed Stat and so essentially.

179
00:16:33.090 --> 00:16:39.270
David Peterson: The computer it goes and rounds, but it decides who tax because it just looks at whoever has the next highest speed.

180
00:16:40.710 --> 00:16:44.520
David Peterson: Of course it's a board game that can be incredibly tedious right.

181
00:16:44.550 --> 00:16:58.860
David Peterson: Right, because you can just imagine every single round is like okay who's next to let me look because, like, especially if you have like five to 10 characters each you know, but I think I found a way to crack that I got two ways one one idea was given to me haven, but.

182
00:17:00.270 --> 00:17:04.260
David Peterson: But essentially you just build a deck which is, which is what computers used to be right right.

183
00:17:04.890 --> 00:17:06.030
David Peterson: Right system of cards.

184
00:17:06.360 --> 00:17:07.800
David Peterson: Right and so, then you just.

185
00:17:09.210 --> 00:17:17.970
David Peterson: You just you know pull from the deck and then whatever comes up you just you know, and you don't in you know shuffle into anything right and it just builds and builds anyway.

186
00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:22.200
David Peterson: Think i'm just talking here.

187
00:17:23.130 --> 00:17:24.450
Jessie Sams: you're telling us about.

188
00:17:24.450 --> 00:17:25.860
Jessie Sams: The game that inspired.

189
00:17:26.070 --> 00:17:26.970
David Peterson: The entire.

190
00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:29.610
Jessie Sams: thing that we're doing right so.

191
00:17:31.230 --> 00:17:33.990
David Peterson: Yes, with our rabbits and are.

192
00:17:35.820 --> 00:17:47.190
David Peterson: You have read Internet now you have yellow Internet could get with our with our rabbits and our possums and our in our dogs and cats in mice and then you know more more animals in the future, but those are right now.

193
00:17:48.990 --> 00:17:59.310
David Peterson: Anyway, so but I was really delighted to learn that you know you also enjoyed board games.

194
00:18:00.750 --> 00:18:01.770
David Peterson: We, I think.

195
00:18:02.850 --> 00:18:05.760
David Peterson: We only played one together just sushi go.

196
00:18:06.900 --> 00:18:09.990
Jessie Sams: Oh, and I totally forgot that we played that together yeah.

197
00:18:10.140 --> 00:18:12.390
Jessie Sams: seriously i'm sorry.

198
00:18:12.660 --> 00:18:15.300
David Peterson: I think about that, like every 4.5 days you know.

199
00:18:16.890 --> 00:18:17.970
Jessie Sams: Obviously.

200
00:18:19.470 --> 00:18:23.430
Jessie Sams: Is that considered a board game cuz it's a card game it's a card passing game.

201
00:18:24.120 --> 00:18:24.510
David Peterson: yeah.

202
00:18:24.540 --> 00:18:25.830
Jessie Sams: Would you call it a board game.

203
00:18:27.390 --> 00:18:31.530
David Peterson: Well, nowadays, what they call it is tabletop gaming.

204
00:18:32.340 --> 00:18:38.820
Jessie Sams: Oh okay sure sure I would agree with the tabletop because it is most conveniently played with a table.

205
00:18:39.210 --> 00:18:49.650
David Peterson: yeah yeah so so yeah we played sushi go, but you have you've also got some other good stuff you got photosynthesis which is cool I really enjoy that one.

206
00:18:50.190 --> 00:18:55.140
David Peterson: yeah I was playing it wrong for several times because I.

207
00:18:56.370 --> 00:19:02.550
David Peterson: I played it wrong a lot, because I thought you just moved to the sun in four corners, not in a hexagon.

208
00:19:02.910 --> 00:19:05.580
Jessie Sams: Oh, so you missed a bunch of growth cycles.

209
00:19:05.910 --> 00:19:06.540
David Peterson: Yes, I did.

210
00:19:08.670 --> 00:19:08.940
David Peterson: yeah.

211
00:19:09.060 --> 00:19:10.410
Jessie Sams: You gotta read the directions me.

212
00:19:11.370 --> 00:19:14.880
David Peterson: yeah I mean I do read them, but then you also have to remember them.

213
00:19:15.330 --> 00:19:16.350
David Peterson: Which is the thing you know.

214
00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:21.690
Jessie Sams: Is if you're going to you know play by the rules yeah that's.

215
00:19:21.750 --> 00:19:22.590
Jessie Sams: that's the thing.

216
00:19:23.040 --> 00:19:24.720
David Peterson: yeah that's a tough one.

217
00:19:26.220 --> 00:19:32.100
David Peterson: Forget rules until I need them and then I remember them.

218
00:19:33.930 --> 00:19:36.450
David Peterson: it's it's not cool I know.

219
00:19:37.410 --> 00:19:42.660
Jessie Sams: Oh, my gosh that's why you always got to be playing with somebody who's like no it's not in the rulebook.

220
00:19:43.440 --> 00:19:43.740
yeah.

221
00:19:44.790 --> 00:19:51.900
David Peterson: Definitely okay so so first tell me about you and board games.

222
00:19:54.090 --> 00:19:59.370
Jessie Sams: I like that how you like skip over the obvious, there will be no electronic games.

223
00:20:03.120 --> 00:20:05.130
Jessie Sams: board or tabletop.

224
00:20:06.630 --> 00:20:11.310
Jessie Sams: And as far as like history of me and games or.

225
00:20:11.580 --> 00:20:12.240
yeah.

226
00:20:14.790 --> 00:20:17.490
Jessie Sams: No, we always played a lot of games.

227
00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:22.530
Jessie Sams: When I was a kid family games and things like that so.

228
00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:29.940
Jessie Sams: Some of our favorite ones, and I don't know if they were a favorite or if we just didn't have that many games to choose from, and they were the only ones we have.

229
00:20:31.140 --> 00:20:32.160
Jessie Sams: I honestly don't know.

230
00:20:33.660 --> 00:20:36.840
Jessie Sams: But we played a lot of yahtzee because my dad really liked that one.

231
00:20:37.950 --> 00:20:51.990
Jessie Sams: monopoly which I have to this day, never been really a fan of and when the game goes on too long, I start just trying to get rid of all my money to see if I can just either lose or I ended up winning so big that it is quickly.

232
00:20:53.190 --> 00:20:55.830
Jessie Sams: Because at some point it's like well i'm just done.

233
00:20:57.600 --> 00:21:00.150
Jessie Sams: Life was the old school life.

234
00:21:00.180 --> 00:21:04.200
David Peterson: Now it's all weird because it's like you were all your cards, and you can.

235
00:21:05.070 --> 00:21:17.100
Jessie Sams: Be you know it's not just like you go this path and you get this career there's all these weird card drawing and I don't know I don't like the new LIFE your life clue is another big one that I really, really, really enjoyed.

236
00:21:17.880 --> 00:21:18.240
David Peterson: That one.

237
00:21:18.690 --> 00:21:27.390
David Peterson: clue for a minute, but i'm going to pause you right here because we both obviously grew up playing the game life, did you also enjoy the cereal life.

238
00:21:28.110 --> 00:21:28.620
Yes.

239
00:21:30.120 --> 00:21:30.450
David Peterson: me too I.

240
00:21:30.930 --> 00:21:32.550
David Peterson: love it one of my favorites.

241
00:21:33.420 --> 00:21:36.540
Jessie Sams: it's really good I don't do they even still have it, I haven't bought.

242
00:21:36.540 --> 00:21:39.630
David Peterson: Car oh absolutely well, I mean you know it's.

243
00:21:40.650 --> 00:21:47.970
David Peterson: it's not the type of thing it's like I get cereal because I want cereal that day, and then I eat three bowls and then I really regret it.

244
00:21:48.210 --> 00:21:52.020
David Peterson: And then you're done and I to me, and then I take a few months off cereal.

245
00:21:53.490 --> 00:22:04.830
David Peterson: You know it's just how it goes so with clue I wanted to mention well first that yeah I grew up playing clue blaine and I played clue loved it loved it.

246
00:22:05.970 --> 00:22:10.800
David Peterson: But at a certain point, like I would try to just start guessing after turn to.

247
00:22:11.700 --> 00:22:13.650
Jessie Sams: write it all out.

248
00:22:15.060 --> 00:22:17.850
David Peterson: And I something I wonder about.

249
00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:34.920
David Peterson: Do you, you took the G around the same time yeah and so you had the old third section right which is the logic section apparently that released what I was told that ucsd That was really the only section they paid attention to.

250
00:22:35.400 --> 00:22:36.900
Jessie Sams: Which is very good for me.

251
00:22:39.120 --> 00:22:42.060
David Peterson: and Catholic they didn't care what you did in math.

252
00:22:43.470 --> 00:22:47.100
Jessie Sams: math was very good for me to it was the the verbal section I bought.

253
00:22:52.350 --> 00:22:55.920
Jessie Sams: Yes, I will you know you know I like math right so Matthew.

254
00:22:56.280 --> 00:22:59.490
David Peterson: reticent to throw down your skills there.

255
00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:04.410
Jessie Sams: I would like to point out, David just use reticent to me reluctant.

256
00:23:06.660 --> 00:23:08.760
Jessie Sams: Something I have recently been.

257
00:23:09.090 --> 00:23:11.550
Jessie Sams: pointed out, is not technically right.

258
00:23:14.190 --> 00:23:14.580
David Peterson: But.

259
00:23:15.210 --> 00:23:17.400
Jessie Sams: But i'm glad that you tried it out once.

260
00:23:18.210 --> 00:23:23.730
David Peterson: yeah so right oh yeah yeah I tried it out, I really didn't like it.

261
00:23:26.550 --> 00:23:42.810
David Peterson: SUP dirty but yeah I forget who I was talking to over my might have been much of the landscape, but I forget the jury came up, and this is, like all we don't pay attention to anything that the only section, we pay attention to is the launching section, but of course they got rid of it.

262
00:23:43.770 --> 00:23:49.680
David Peterson: Right replaced it with an essay did you do the same, because they were testing it with us.

263
00:23:50.130 --> 00:23:59.100
Jessie Sams: Yes, yes, I did take the essay as a yeah it was like the they called it optional, but it totally wasn't because she stayed in the room till you did it, but like it wasn't.

264
00:23:59.280 --> 00:24:00.300
Jessie Sams: Your score yeah.

265
00:24:00.420 --> 00:24:08.610
David Peterson: yeah yeah and it was so dumb was it, it was like something like you know tell us what you think about nuclear powers something.

266
00:24:09.270 --> 00:24:20.580
Jessie Sams: I feel like mine was on something like privacy and government spying or something like it, but it was like the same kind of thing where it's like no.

267
00:24:21.720 --> 00:24:22.200
Jessie Sams: don't do.

268
00:24:24.600 --> 00:24:26.700
David Peterson: It was, I feel like I wrote.

269
00:24:26.760 --> 00:24:31.440
Jessie Sams: two paragraphs to try to show like good faith, effort and then I was out.

270
00:24:32.160 --> 00:24:33.150
David Peterson: yeah yeah.

271
00:24:35.310 --> 00:24:40.410
David Peterson: But but yeah I guess she said, the reason that they pay attention to, that is, it was a good predictor of how.

272
00:24:41.760 --> 00:24:43.620
David Peterson: How good you are at linguistics.

273
00:24:45.570 --> 00:24:46.080
Jessie Sams: Yes.

274
00:24:46.560 --> 00:24:59.340
David Peterson: And so, going back, we noticed several of us loved doing those logic games growing up where you know, Mary is twice as tall as beth Sally is the middle, you know middle height, and so I.

275
00:24:59.340 --> 00:24:59.610
Jessie Sams: Have.

276
00:24:59.790 --> 00:25:02.220
Jessie Sams: I have Apps downloaded so I can keep playing them.

277
00:25:02.700 --> 00:25:08.340
David Peterson: yeah and here we both really enjoyed clue growing up.

278
00:25:09.030 --> 00:25:12.780
Jessie Sams: Because it's a logic game and it's basically the same type of game right.

279
00:25:14.460 --> 00:25:19.080
David Peterson: it's very similar I wonder if there are more linguists who enjoy a clue that was it.

280
00:25:19.350 --> 00:25:22.500
Jessie Sams: Because there's also you know the strategy and clue.

281
00:25:22.950 --> 00:25:32.460
Jessie Sams: Really relies on you picking out which card of your own you're going to test, because you always need to throw in your own cards so you know that, like if somebody can prove you wrong.

282
00:25:33.180 --> 00:25:43.380
Jessie Sams: you're trying to get them to have to call out their cards and it's like you know what you have in your hand and as soon as someone can't prove that one thing wrong then you know that that's one of the answers so it's like.

283
00:25:44.280 --> 00:25:48.390
Jessie Sams: You just got to know which cards are smart place so they can't figure out which one is yours.

284
00:25:48.900 --> 00:25:52.830
David Peterson: yeah and I also just do so much blessing I love it.

285
00:25:54.150 --> 00:25:54.390
David Peterson: Every.

286
00:25:56.670 --> 00:25:57.420
Jessie Sams: Now so yeah.

287
00:25:57.450 --> 00:25:59.220
Jessie Sams: clue was always great fun.

288
00:26:00.360 --> 00:26:05.940
Jessie Sams: But again, though, only the old school the newer board, I am not a fan of it's got to be the old one.

289
00:26:06.810 --> 00:26:13.590
David Peterson: You mean you don't enjoy clue master detective because that was the one that came out in the early 90s.

290
00:26:15.330 --> 00:26:24.060
Jessie Sams: mastered it i'd have to look up which form you're talking about i'm fairly certain my clue game that I grew up playing came out in the 1960s, because.

291
00:26:24.120 --> 00:26:27.000
Jessie Sams: The result, it was super old looking.

292
00:26:27.390 --> 00:26:28.800
Jessie Sams: And that's what I enjoyed.

293
00:26:31.050 --> 00:26:37.140
David Peterson: Oh yeah and that was a good one, but there was one that came out in the early 90s that added a few new characters.

294
00:26:37.500 --> 00:26:38.460
Jessie Sams: One, no, no.

295
00:26:39.870 --> 00:26:40.890
Jessie Sams: No i'm already out.

296
00:26:40.980 --> 00:26:43.230
David Peterson: New characters you don't remember sergeant grey.

297
00:26:43.410 --> 00:26:44.460

Jessie Sams: that's a scarlet see it's supposed to be miss Carla who's was miss scarlet until miss beach came out.

304
00:27:01.950 --> 00:27:04.200
Jessie Sams: I am sorry, but no just no.

305
00:27:06.060 --> 00:27:08.940
Jessie Sams: Miss scarlett deserves to maintain her title.

306
00:27:09.870 --> 00:27:15.690
Jessie Sams: And this is why no don't even bother sending me a picture or anything because i'm still going to say that I.

307
00:27:16.320 --> 00:27:17.130
David Peterson: refuse.

308
00:27:17.370 --> 00:27:18.210
Jessie Sams: To call it.

309
00:27:20.760 --> 00:27:24.450
Jessie Sams: I refuse to call it a version of clicks it's you know it's not the real one.

310
00:27:26.250 --> 00:27:28.350
Jessie Sams: he's serious pixelated.

311
00:27:29.040 --> 00:27:33.420
Jessie Sams: wilkerson related game from the early 90s, a picture of it.

312
00:27:35.280 --> 00:27:36.090
Jessie Sams: Well you're looking.

313
00:27:36.870 --> 00:27:38.910
Jessie Sams: you're looking at a chart easy.

00:27:39.060 --> 00:27:39.720
David Peterson: check this out.

315
00:27:41.520 --> 00:27:43.110
Jessie Sams: She looks like she belongs on matlock.

316
00:27:44.700 --> 00:27:46.710
David Peterson: she's gonna be charged with murder she wrote.

317
00:27:48.570 --> 00:27:49.800
David Peterson: So yeah parties yeah so.

318
00:27:50.670 --> 00:27:54.660
Jessie Sams: that's another good one another one that it's hard to find the original forms.

319
00:27:56.040 --> 00:28:03.990
Jessie Sams: This is my problem I fell in love with games, the way they were when I was a kid and now so many game companies are trying to do things to make them.

320
00:28:05.070 --> 00:28:09.300
Jessie Sams: more exciting or something I don't know i'm just not happy about that.

321
00:28:09.690 --> 00:28:13.470
David Peterson: You can find them now and I also want to recommend board game geeks.

322
00:28:14.520 --> 00:28:30.840
David Peterson: Which is a website right that has a whole bunch of rankings for board games, but in the Member forums, people do trades that's how I got hero quest because that's a game it's not available anymore, and if you find it online it'll be for something like you know $500.

323
00:28:31.890 --> 00:28:33.150
David Peterson: Just because it's rare.

324
00:28:34.380 --> 00:28:49.950
David Peterson: But yeah I got that from from somebody fairly inexpensive and you know, he was just hoping that somebody would want it, you know, so I got it yeah i'm still waiting to get battle masters that's a fun one huge map you layout.

325
00:28:52.410 --> 00:28:53.430
David Peterson: was a fun one but.

326
00:28:54.750 --> 00:28:59.940
David Peterson: So so yeah you will or they can upgrade part cheesy that came is ancient.

327
00:29:02.220 --> 00:29:02.880
Jessie Sams: Ancient.

328
00:29:03.180 --> 00:29:14.250
Jessie Sams: Yes, um, but there are some that, like the Board is different or there's like fewer spots, or something like it's just some of them don't quite feel the same.

329
00:29:14.730 --> 00:29:24.660
David Peterson: yeah so uh by my grandfather as a psychologist so I grew up with very strange games like the game you familiar with the game, the.

330
00:29:25.110 --> 00:29:25.590
game.

331
00:29:26.790 --> 00:29:28.020
David Peterson: On game.

332
00:29:28.470 --> 00:29:29.340
Jessie Sams: that's what I said.

333
00:29:29.460 --> 00:29:31.680
David Peterson: came out in the 1970s yeah.

334
00:29:32.220 --> 00:29:35.790
David Peterson: It came in the 1970s, and it was designed by a psychologist so i'm pretty sure.

335
00:29:36.210 --> 00:29:48.270
David Peterson: And it's a it's a game where you know it doesn't it has a beginning, but it doesn't have it end or a point you just move your characters around the spaces and pick up cards and talk about your feelings that's literally what you do.

336
00:29:50.130 --> 00:30:08.100
David Peterson: The, the only way to you know lose quote unquote you don't really lose, but you like lose a turn and have to sit out for a little bit is, if you are unwilling to share so like you know you you go and you come up to a space you pick up a card and it says something like you know.

337
00:30:09.780 --> 00:30:11.610
David Peterson: describe a time that you were afraid.

338
00:30:12.810 --> 00:30:13.140
David Peterson: You know.

339
00:30:13.170 --> 00:30:13.560
Nothing.

340
00:30:16.740 --> 00:30:20.550
David Peterson: And if you don't like you go to some place it was called like you know, like.

341
00:30:22.260 --> 00:30:27.120
David Peterson: The mire of denial or something like that, like something you know.

342
00:30:28.140 --> 00:30:29.700
David Peterson: Where you just sit for a turn.

343
00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:31.380
Jessie Sams: wow.

344
00:30:32.790 --> 00:30:34.020
David Peterson: it's a nice effort.

345
00:30:34.620 --> 00:30:36.690
Jessie Sams: never heard of it and.

346
00:30:37.890 --> 00:30:39.990
Jessie Sams: Definitely obviously never played it.

347
00:30:41.130 --> 00:30:41.790
David Peterson: it's word luck.

348
00:30:42.780 --> 00:30:54.480
Jessie Sams: yeah so beyond those were all sort of board and dice games right, but then we also played a lot of card games like Jen romy and pinnacle I actually learned that game from a fairly young age.

349
00:30:55.590 --> 00:31:00.090
Jessie Sams: And so we would always play we had four people, and so it was like a built in pinnacle game.

350
00:31:02.160 --> 00:31:04.440
Jessie Sams: In our family and.

351
00:31:05.460 --> 00:31:11.610
Jessie Sams: So yeah I played a lot of those kinds of games and I honestly, those are the only big ones that I remember playing.

352
00:31:13.170 --> 00:31:25.290
Jessie Sams: Now I have a problem with collecting too many games, because I love them all and there's a shelf in a closet that is so weighted down by board games that i'm pretty sure it's going to fall at some point.

353
00:31:25.860 --> 00:31:28.650
David Peterson: yeah same, I mean same over here same over here.

354
00:31:30.450 --> 00:31:35.280
David Peterson: it's got another bookshelf to hold the bulk of them.

355
00:31:37.740 --> 00:31:38.700
David Peterson: But i'm fine with that.

356
00:31:40.470 --> 00:31:44.670
David Peterson: In terms of card games growing up, I learned a lot of solitaire variants.

357
00:31:45.720 --> 00:31:46.290
David Peterson: So you know.

358
00:31:46.320 --> 00:31:48.090
Jessie Sams: I only know to, I think.

359
00:31:49.140 --> 00:31:58.860
David Peterson: Well there's the the standard where you could play, of course, you know Vegas style or three at a time style, but I mean beyond that also learned 13 solitaire clock solitaire.

360
00:31:59.370 --> 00:32:01.860
Jessie Sams: clock is the other one that I now so that's.

361
00:32:02.430 --> 00:32:02.790
Jessie Sams: That one.

362
00:32:03.750 --> 00:32:04.470
David Peterson: And then.

363
00:32:06.210 --> 00:32:16.620
David Peterson: A unique type of solitaire that essentially you could just do it to shuffle the deck I don't even know what it's called but you just you can play it like in the car.

364
00:32:17.310 --> 00:32:27.270
David Peterson: Because all you do is you take the deck of cards you pull up four cards and then you look at the first and fourth card if they are the same suit.

365
00:32:28.320 --> 00:32:30.060
David Peterson: You pull out the middle to.

366
00:32:31.290 --> 00:32:33.750
David Peterson: The same number you pull out all four.

367
00:32:34.710 --> 00:32:51.030
David Peterson: Okay, and if they're neither you just pull another card and then you're getting your you're comparing the card you just pulled up to one that's more before and you keep going and the end you win essentially it's like you tie if you have two cards at the end.

368
00:32:52.710 --> 00:32:56.700
David Peterson: Like halfway is, if you have one card at the end, and then a full wind is, if you have not.

369
00:32:57.630 --> 00:32:58.140
David Peterson: so bad.

370
00:32:59.430 --> 00:33:06.390
David Peterson: But it's like you can you can get runs where it's like you know you pull it up nope nope nope nope and so you have this huge hand.

371
00:33:07.470 --> 00:33:11.940
David Peterson: But it's like it's kind of just a way to pass time and shuffle the deck just by yourself it's cool.

372
00:33:13.080 --> 00:33:14.850
Jessie Sams: Interesting yeah never heard of that one.

373
00:33:15.390 --> 00:33:23.490
David Peterson: And then the what is fun, though, a lot of fun is double solitaire you ever played double solitaire.

374
00:33:24.330 --> 00:33:26.730
Jessie Sams: And no not unless I called it something else.

375
00:33:27.180 --> 00:33:36.270
David Peterson: Okay, so double solitaire the way that works is you just play solitaire normally and another person play solitaire normally but you share your aces.

376
00:33:37.980 --> 00:33:39.120
Jessie Sams: Oh that's interesting.

377
00:33:39.180 --> 00:33:41.730
Jessie Sams: No, but that's also not solitaire I would.

378
00:33:42.000 --> 00:33:44.340
David Peterson: point out that's why it's a simple solitaire.

379
00:33:44.730 --> 00:33:45.630
Jessie Sams: Do tear.

380
00:33:46.440 --> 00:33:48.090
David Peterson: it's double solitaire.

381
00:33:48.540 --> 00:33:52.680
Jessie Sams: But how can it be devil solitaire solitaire means alone.

382
00:33:53.130 --> 00:33:56.280
David Peterson: Well, how can baseball be a team sport when it's clearly not.

383
00:33:57.900 --> 00:34:01.380
Jessie Sams: But it is Oh, I still need to call my dad and ask them about the pickle.

384
00:34:01.980 --> 00:34:02.940
Jessie Sams: yeah find out.

385
00:34:03.030 --> 00:34:08.310
Jessie Sams: If that's a if that's a regional thing Oh, and if you're not on discord, then you don't know about this.

386
00:34:09.720 --> 00:34:22.560
Jessie Sams: Because I only know the tournament baseball rundown where it's you know, like a runner is caught between two bases trying to advance, but then the ball gets thrown there so he's just running back and forth trying not to get tagged out to me that's a rundown.

387
00:34:23.910 --> 00:34:30.210
Jessie Sams: But David said it's a pickle and while it is indeed a pickle because I use pickle to me like oh that's a situation.

388
00:34:31.980 --> 00:34:41.820
Jessie Sams: it's like apparently a specific term in baseball for that situation, but maybe not everywhere, because a lot of other people were like no i've never heard it use that way, either, so I need to find out.

389
00:34:42.120 --> 00:34:55.290
David Peterson: That they're not baseball fans though look, this is, to me, this is kind of like let's say you know, a linguist comes to you and say hey you ever heard of anybody calling closest closest stops.

390
00:34:56.730 --> 00:34:57.270
Jessie Sams: And i'd be.

391
00:34:57.420 --> 00:34:58.950
David Peterson: Like a regional thing.

392
00:35:02.400 --> 00:35:08.970
Jessie Sams: he's saying that we don't that's what that's why i'm going to be asking my dad who does know.

393
00:35:10.620 --> 00:35:14.370
David Peterson: yeah and I think that his reaction would be like wait you don't know that.

394
00:35:15.510 --> 00:35:18.420
Jessie Sams: No he's his reaction is gonna be he's gonna answer me.

395
00:35:19.710 --> 00:35:23.100
David Peterson: And then it'll just hang up the phone and have no response.

396
00:35:25.260 --> 00:35:26.910
David Peterson: will be all like you know.

397
00:35:26.970 --> 00:35:28.920
Jessie Sams: He is always happy to talk baseball.

398
00:35:28.920 --> 00:35:37.440
David Peterson: be like you know hey dad do you know, like a rundown at baseball can it be called a pickle and he says yes hang up.

399
00:35:38.670 --> 00:35:39.660
David Peterson: No reaction.

400
00:35:39.840 --> 00:35:41.970
Jessie Sams: that's exactly what happens yes.

401
00:35:43.980 --> 00:35:51.510
David Peterson: it's interesting that I know previously that jesse's Father only response to her with either yes or no that's it.

402
00:35:54.000 --> 00:35:55.320
David Peterson: doesn't say anything else.

403
00:35:56.640 --> 00:36:03.390
Jessie Sams: Again, again with you and the lies, now that I know I can't call it anything but what it is and it's alive.

404
00:36:04.320 --> 00:36:07.260
David Peterson: we'll talk we'll talk to everybody else, but just to you, you only get.

405
00:36:07.260 --> 00:36:07.830
Jessie Sams: Yes or no.

406
00:36:08.820 --> 00:36:09.420
Jessie Sams: that's it.

407
00:36:10.650 --> 00:36:10.860
David Peterson: yeah.

408
00:36:12.060 --> 00:36:22.890
David Peterson: Okay, so I want to tell everybody about something that really surprised me, maybe it shouldn't have but something that really surprised really shocked me was when.

409
00:36:23.880 --> 00:36:34.020
David Peterson: I can't remember what we were chatting about sometime last year, but you just kind of casually mentioned your you know your nightly D amp D game.

410
00:36:35.040 --> 00:36:37.320
Jessie Sams: it's not nightly no well.

411
00:36:38.460 --> 00:36:40.590
David Peterson: In that it happens at night but.

412
00:36:42.390 --> 00:36:42.990
Jessie Sams: night time.

413
00:36:44.910 --> 00:36:50.430
David Peterson: I was absolutely shocked floored.

414
00:36:51.510 --> 00:36:52.020
David Peterson: level.

415
00:36:53.010 --> 00:36:53.760
That.

416
00:36:54.870 --> 00:37:04.500
David Peterson: A you knew about D amp D be you approved of it and see participated in it, I was absolutely shocked for a number.

417
00:37:05.190 --> 00:37:09.780
Jessie Sams: I don't know whether it's whether D amp D should feel judged right now, or I should feel judged.

418
00:37:10.710 --> 00:37:11.250
David Peterson: If you.

419
00:37:13.740 --> 00:37:14.100
David Peterson: Like.

420
00:37:14.640 --> 00:37:15.120
Jessie Sams: Okay, you.

421
00:37:15.630 --> 00:37:26.670
David Peterson: know you know the world that we grew up in you know the reputation that D amp D, had I just naturally assumed that if you knew about it, you'd be against it.

422
00:37:30.690 --> 00:37:31.710
Jessie Sams: Against again.

423
00:37:33.870 --> 00:37:37.740
Jessie Sams: know and apparently I need to tell you more childhood stories, so you.

424
00:37:39.150 --> 00:37:41.700
Jessie Sams: Have a better of what I was like I don't know.

425
00:37:43.290 --> 00:37:43.860
Jessie Sams: But.

426
00:37:43.920 --> 00:37:46.800
David Peterson: No, I was snakes sorry.

427
00:37:48.330 --> 00:37:50.760
Jessie Sams: I was never against D amp D.

428
00:37:53.220 --> 00:37:53.550
David Peterson: and

429
00:37:54.630 --> 00:37:59.850
David Peterson: At what point in time, did you decide accepted into your life.

430
00:38:03.960 --> 00:38:11.850
Jessie Sams: Honestly, I never even thought much about it because, like none of my friends played it, you know, like when I was in middle or high school.

431
00:38:13.560 --> 00:38:27.360
Jessie Sams: or even college I just I just didn't have the the group around me so it never like I knew people played it and I knew it was a game and it sounded cool but like I just didn't have the people around me who also thought it sounded like it would be a fun time.

432
00:38:28.710 --> 00:38:43.500
Jessie Sams: And so it wasn't until we moved to Texas, that I found people who were familiar with the end and were patient enough to be willing to play with somebody who like legit had no idea what they were doing and so.

433
00:38:44.190 --> 00:38:50.400
Jessie Sams: Will and I bought a D amp D starter kit so that way, we would have you know, like some basic directions and things like that.

434
00:38:50.730 --> 00:38:57.240
Jessie Sams: And yeah we had friends come over and basically like participate and one of them DM for us, so that way, we could get the experience.

435
00:38:57.630 --> 00:39:08.970
Jessie Sams: And then, once we started that we joined in with some other friends who are looking for new Members to start a new campaign and yeah we started playing now.

436
00:39:10.110 --> 00:39:17.250
Jessie Sams: Rather, unfortunately we've kind of fallen off it, because as good as.

437
00:39:18.390 --> 00:39:26.790
Jessie Sams: It can be on discord or zoom or whatever it's just not the same if you're not at the same table and honestly, like all of us were kind of like.

438
00:39:29.190 --> 00:39:29.430
David Peterson: yeah.

439
00:39:29.730 --> 00:39:41.190
Jessie Sams: So we haven't played like we tried it a few times had some fun, but it just wasn't the same so I honestly haven't played my own character and D amp D for.

440
00:39:42.690 --> 00:39:43.590
Jessie Sams: Almost a year now.

441
00:39:44.310 --> 00:39:45.720
David Peterson: and your character is.

442
00:39:46.950 --> 00:39:48.150
Jessie Sams: spells pebble Jim.

443
00:39:49.830 --> 00:39:50.190
David Peterson: what's.

444
00:39:52.410 --> 00:39:52.890
Jessie Sams: Her name.

445
00:39:54.420 --> 00:39:55.140
Jessie Sams: she's a known.

446
00:39:55.890 --> 00:39:58.590
David Peterson: Can you say the first name again.

447
00:39:59.190 --> 00:40:00.720
Jessie Sams: The first name is Els bells.

448
00:40:01.530 --> 00:40:03.900
David Peterson: As in hells bells without the age.

449
00:40:04.320 --> 00:40:04.650
uh huh.

450
00:40:05.790 --> 00:40:06.270
Jessie Sams: and

451
00:40:06.540 --> 00:40:08.310
Jessie Sams: pebble Jim is her last name.

452
00:40:08.700 --> 00:40:10.530
David Peterson: yeah and.

453
00:40:11.550 --> 00:40:13.830
David Peterson: didn't bother with a con my name.

454
00:40:15.210 --> 00:40:22.680
Jessie Sams: Oh no, no, because that that would be separate from what other people would know her as.

455
00:40:26.100 --> 00:40:27.390
Jessie Sams: Her name is else bells.

456
00:40:27.540 --> 00:40:28.440
Jessie Sams: just go with it.

457
00:40:32.730 --> 00:40:34.530
Jessie Sams: Did I just again destroy your.

458
00:40:35.880 --> 00:40:42.570
David Peterson: Dear listeners I am trying my best, I am trying my best to segue into language here it's just not working.

459
00:40:43.560 --> 00:40:47.040
Jessie Sams: um I did create a language for gnomes we can talk.

460
00:40:48.060 --> 00:40:48.660
Jessie Sams: But you.

461
00:40:49.050 --> 00:40:51.660
David Peterson: talked about their create a language.

462
00:40:51.870 --> 00:40:53.010
David Peterson: For gnomes.

463
00:40:53.430 --> 00:40:55.620
David Peterson: And then you had the opportunity to.

464
00:40:55.620 --> 00:40:59.670
David Peterson: play a known character of your own design.

465
00:41:01.560 --> 00:41:03.900
David Peterson: And you named it hells bells.

466
00:41:04.470 --> 00:41:15.330
Jessie Sams: Yes, because it matched her spirit and it's really fun to introduce yourself, because you can like hells bells and everybody's like oh shit it's good it's good stuff.

467
00:41:16.050 --> 00:41:21.750
David Peterson: And there is nothing in the ignominy language that that you felt adequately.

468
00:41:22.650 --> 00:41:30.330
Jessie Sams: hmm now also also I do want to say that my new home language is for garden gnomes and the gnomes of D amp D or not garden gnomes.

469
00:41:32.040 --> 00:41:41.250
Jessie Sams: there's the word known gets overused and over applied to many different things and I just want to point out that i'm aware and sensitive to nome culture yeah.

470
00:41:42.840 --> 00:41:47.100
Jessie Sams: I mean they don't I don't want to use the garden gnome language, for you know.

471
00:41:47.940 --> 00:41:48.630
Jessie Sams: The end now.

472
00:41:49.800 --> 00:41:52.500
David Peterson: We all know it's something that you take very seriously.

473
00:41:54.420 --> 00:41:58.860
Jessie Sams: Indeed, and she's a wizard so that's that's good.

474
00:41:59.970 --> 00:42:02.580
David Peterson: wow you just you just went and made a wizard now.

475
00:42:03.390 --> 00:42:03.990
Jessie Sams: Oh yeah.

476
00:42:04.500 --> 00:42:05.790
David Peterson: that's one of the difficult ones.

477
00:42:06.420 --> 00:42:15.180
Jessie Sams: home but it's so much fun and again matches her character, because they learn from books and her character is very book smart but very not life smart.

478
00:42:15.870 --> 00:42:17.070
Jessie Sams: And it works well for.

479
00:42:18.150 --> 00:42:18.990
Jessie Sams: can't imagine what.

480
00:42:20.580 --> 00:42:21.270
David Peterson: No go ahead.

481
00:42:21.900 --> 00:42:33.990
Jessie Sams: No, it just it works very well to for people who don't fully know all the D amp D things because you end up doing really stupid things that if you were a better player you wouldn't do but it's like I know the spells.

482
00:42:36.810 --> 00:42:50.910
Jessie Sams: But you know beyond that you're stuck with whatever I think of and that's when I get into situations like, for instance, in a recent campaign and by recent I mean the last one I played in like a year ago.

483
00:42:52.950 --> 00:43:00.840
Jessie Sams: I had the skill to build a bomb, and so I did because it sounded like a good idea at the time, and then I blew up an entire in and almost died.

484
00:43:02.130 --> 00:43:03.570
Jessie Sams: Because I didn't have the dexterity.

485
00:43:04.470 --> 00:43:06.750
Jessie Sams: I rolled in at one, while I was building a bomb.

486
00:43:07.230 --> 00:43:17.190
Jessie Sams: Oh, my yeah it was bad, but on the on the knowledge Parts I was rolling that 20th all the way through, so it was like I was doing great and then.

487
00:43:19.200 --> 00:43:19.710
Jessie Sams: And then.

488
00:43:20.670 --> 00:43:22.470
Jessie Sams: It almost killed my entire party.

489
00:43:24.270 --> 00:43:40.350
David Peterson: You know, I was, I was about to say I couldn't imagine playing anything other than a bard because what I what I mainly want to do is convince people to do what I want them to do and play music and make sure.

490
00:43:40.710 --> 00:43:42.210
David Peterson: Everybody has a good time.

491
00:43:42.570 --> 00:43:43.980
Jessie Sams: i'm there for the adventure.

492
00:43:46.290 --> 00:43:50.040
David Peterson: Rome, and I want you to carefully consider what you're thinking about doing Roman.

493
00:43:51.960 --> 00:43:55.200
David Peterson: Roman How dare you how dare you.

494
00:43:55.770 --> 00:43:57.570
David Peterson: Get yourself down.

495
00:43:57.960 --> 00:44:06.570
Jessie Sams: Just so everybody else knows, I have no idea what Roman just did it was off camera but it almost got David to stand up, he.

496
00:44:06.600 --> 00:44:08.430
knows no.

497
00:44:13.140 --> 00:44:19.770
David Peterson: Absolute little fiend you come here come here and accept your punishment you're going to scratch your belly.

498
00:44:23.010 --> 00:44:28.890
Jessie Sams: And this is the part of the podcast where David forgets that we're recording sound only and is just talking to his cat.

499
00:44:30.330 --> 00:44:31.080
David Peterson: didn't forget.

500
00:44:31.440 --> 00:44:32.610
What do you think i'm not gonna.

501
00:44:36.090 --> 00:44:39.990
David Peterson: that's a good boy Roman see that's a good choice that's a positive choice.

502
00:44:41.160 --> 00:44:47.010
David Peterson: There you go my boy now stay right there in don't do the naughty thing that you're thinking of.

503
00:44:48.060 --> 00:44:48.600
Jessie Sams: Right.

504
00:44:49.620 --> 00:44:57.900
David Peterson: yeah so i'm just going to keep talking but i'm going to keep looking at him because that's, the only way I can make sure that he behaves all right.

505
00:44:59.550 --> 00:45:00.930
David Peterson: i'm thinking about you Roman.

506
00:45:01.980 --> 00:45:03.120
David Peterson: Okay, so.

507
00:45:06.240 --> 00:45:09.030
David Peterson: Oh yeah I did want to mention so disappointed.

508
00:45:10.920 --> 00:45:20.370
David Peterson: I did a one shot with a friend of mine that she where I brought my Bart my my dragon born bard and it was.

509
00:45:21.480 --> 00:45:27.360
David Peterson: And it was this one shot, where there is a society of cats that lives amongst the humans unbeknownst to everybody.

510
00:45:27.840 --> 00:45:35.250
David Peterson: And there there's a little adventure that you go with for the cats and yeah once we started doing this, I knew that there was a reason why she would save it it's fun for me.

511
00:45:36.780 --> 00:45:40.200
David Peterson: And and there's this cat that's helping you because.

512
00:45:41.550 --> 00:45:45.660
David Peterson: You know, he wants you to help get something back and it turns out, of course.

513
00:45:46.770 --> 00:46:02.550
David Peterson: He is betraying you at the end, and he is he is really the bad guy and so, but at the end when he was going to you know because we successfully did it everything it was narrow, but we did it and so he was going to be, you know jailed for his punishment.

514
00:46:04.110 --> 00:46:07.200
David Peterson: I made an urgent plea to this cat I said.

515
00:46:08.460 --> 00:46:22.140
David Peterson: We could do this, but I can get us out of here and we to we can go off, and you can be my cat and we can be happy forever, and this is with my bard who has like an 18 and charisma.

516
00:46:23.160 --> 00:46:28.620
David Peterson: And so I went to roll persuasion, which he had a plus five to.

517
00:46:28.770 --> 00:46:29.490
Jessie Sams: own now.

518
00:46:30.270 --> 00:46:31.680
David Peterson: And I rolled over one.

519
00:46:34.920 --> 00:46:35.910
Jessie Sams: sad day.

520
00:46:36.330 --> 00:46:39.210
David Peterson: You broke my little heart and so he went off to prison.

521
00:46:42.270 --> 00:46:46.860
Jessie Sams: You tried you tried, I did I did you failed, but you try.

522
00:46:51.270 --> 00:46:54.630
David Peterson: So an interesting thing to note is that.

523
00:46:56.580 --> 00:47:02.190
David Peterson: As we kind of get back to our main topic of language but.

524
00:47:03.300 --> 00:47:09.900
David Peterson: So last semester you debuted a really, really unique class which was.

525
00:47:11.130 --> 00:47:15.990
David Peterson: Examining language us in D amp D specifically.

526
00:47:16.290 --> 00:47:16.800
Yes.

527
00:47:17.820 --> 00:47:27.030
David Peterson: And so, tell us about like your idea in delving into that, because of course it wasn't like con land use and D amp D, specifically, but it was more languages and deity.

528
00:47:28.170 --> 00:47:38.370
Jessie Sams: Right yeah so we were looking at issues of language and identity and showing how especially people who really get into the role playing aspect.

529
00:47:39.090 --> 00:47:50.220
Jessie Sams: How people use language markers differently to match who their character is in terms of who they are in the game with relation to all the other characters.

530
00:47:50.790 --> 00:47:56.550
Jessie Sams: And then further how you can actually analyze the language differences between when.

531
00:47:57.000 --> 00:48:10.140
Jessie Sams: A person is you know, being a player versus a character so like in player mode, you may stop and ask the DM like hey can I roll for initiative versus you know you like your character wouldn't ask the DM extra characters in the story.

532
00:48:11.310 --> 00:48:15.780
Jessie Sams: And so just looking at the the ways that language, can be used differently and.

533
00:48:16.710 --> 00:48:26.490
Jessie Sams: Of course it's like not everybody is going to have access to some really solid players who can differentiate very well between character and player.

534
00:48:27.360 --> 00:48:32.820
Jessie Sams: We use a lot of critical role videos so that way they could watch, you know professionals playing.

535
00:48:33.540 --> 00:48:44.850
Jessie Sams: d&d and looking at how you can actually look for very specific language features, to show differences, not only in how the messages are composed, and how they are.

536
00:48:45.630 --> 00:48:52.440
Jessie Sams: spoken but also like if you start really thinking about content and what they're saying versus what they're not saying, because I think a lot of times.

537
00:48:52.830 --> 00:48:58.350
Jessie Sams: We forget like how much you know about your own character, but how much nobody else at the table is supposed to know that.

538
00:48:58.710 --> 00:49:06.420
Jessie Sams: And you may end up talking about it as players outside of the game, but in the world, the other characters have to pretend like they don't know.

539
00:49:07.020 --> 00:49:17.220
Jessie Sams: Something your player, you know your character has gone through and so it's just it's really interesting when you start really looking at how do they ask questions or how do they interact with each other.

540
00:49:18.240 --> 00:49:21.360
Jessie Sams: To create this world within a world within a game.

541
00:49:23.790 --> 00:49:25.830
David Peterson: Yes, reminds me of the weirdest thing.

542
00:49:26.850 --> 00:49:28.200
David Peterson: Were you a seinfeld watcher.

543
00:49:29.340 --> 00:49:34.380
Jessie Sams: Yes, but like one of the seinfeld watchers who would always just see it as reruns and so.

544
00:49:34.380 --> 00:49:37.050
Jessie Sams: it's like i'm pretty sure i've seen every episode, but I.

545
00:49:37.080 --> 00:49:38.790
Jessie Sams: yeah in Moses.

546
00:49:39.630 --> 00:49:42.630
David Peterson: No i'm roughly the same boat okay Do you remember the quick.

547
00:49:43.920 --> 00:49:47.430
David Peterson: His phone number gotten mixed up with moviefone.

548
00:49:48.600 --> 00:49:50.940
Jessie Sams: No Oh, maybe it.

549
00:49:52.200 --> 00:50:00.000
Jessie Sams: is one of those things where like if I started watching the episode i'd probably be like oh yeah I knew this one, but off the top of my head no but that sounds like a great episode.

550
00:50:00.420 --> 00:50:05.910
David Peterson: Well, for younger folk back before the Internet or even in the early days of your Internet you.

551
00:50:06.420 --> 00:50:07.230
Jessie Sams: explain this.

552
00:50:07.500 --> 00:50:15.480
David Peterson: yeah if you didn't in order to find out what movies were playing you either had to go to your local theater or if that was inconvenient look at the newspaper.

553
00:50:16.410 --> 00:50:23.730
David Peterson: But later, you know say you didn't get a newspaper, or you you couldn't find it you could actually call into a free phone number.

554
00:50:24.300 --> 00:50:39.570
David Peterson: And, and it was called movie phone and by punching things in you could find out what movies were playing at many different cinemas in your area, and there was a guy who's like happens movie for invoice it was very specific hello, welcome to movie phone.

555
00:50:40.020 --> 00:50:42.180
David Peterson: If you would like to, and then you know you could.

556
00:50:42.600 --> 00:50:56.910
David Peterson: You could punch in either a specific movie or specific theater and they would tell you the showtimes anyway, so in this episode he changed his number, and this number is, I guess, like one off from movie phone it was like you know.

557
00:50:58.110 --> 00:51:07.110
David Peterson: One 800 like you know new film or something as opposed to new film and so he's just started to pretend to be the movie guy.

558
00:51:08.850 --> 00:51:09.180
David Peterson: and

559
00:51:09.810 --> 00:51:24.210
David Peterson: But the thing is he was doing it pretty successfully and so like at one point, it was like you know he's like go ahead and type in the first three letters of the movie you'd like to see, and then you hear him listening on the phone and you just hear boo boo boo.

560
00:51:25.290 --> 00:51:26.220
David Peterson: He doesn't know what to do.

561
00:51:28.560 --> 00:51:33.840
David Peterson: That he's like in character he's like why don't you tell me the movie that you'd like.

562
00:51:38.010 --> 00:51:39.060
Jessie Sams: Oh, my gosh.

563
00:51:39.570 --> 00:51:45.900
David Peterson: Anyway, so somehow being in character and like pretending that you don't know things that reminded me of that.

564
00:51:47.310 --> 00:51:55.260
David Peterson: Because there have been a number of situations where especially this is the best one where the there's two characters A and B.

565
00:51:56.610 --> 00:52:00.360
David Peterson: And B knows something, but its character doesn't let's say.

566
00:52:00.810 --> 00:52:05.250
David Peterson: Right and then a neither he nor his character knows it.

567
00:52:05.970 --> 00:52:06.450
Right.

568
00:52:07.530 --> 00:52:13.740
David Peterson: And it's like he's the person sitting here going to like you know it's it's where it's like.

569
00:52:15.090 --> 00:52:16.140
David Peterson: Why don't you know.

570
00:52:19.110 --> 00:52:24.960
David Peterson: Did you did you get any book, you know from the attention that you just search no.

571
00:52:28.200 --> 00:52:30.840
David Peterson: Are you sure you don't remember picking up a.

572
00:52:32.190 --> 00:52:47.880
David Peterson: book that might have some sort of a particular colored cover no yes like sitting there going oh my God, how can you not remember the fact that you picked up this book, but the purple cover and we need it right now and it's like, but he came.

573
00:52:52.440 --> 00:52:55.200
David Peterson: Oh man anyway, those are the best so um.

574
00:52:56.580 --> 00:53:04.830
David Peterson: I I was curious what you know you so ultimately what happened is that I ran some one shots for class.

575
00:53:05.160 --> 00:53:05.640
Jessie Sams: Yes.

576
00:53:06.300 --> 00:53:21.660
David Peterson: And then other members of the class reviewed the videos of them right and I was always curious, but never curious enough to actually do in the work to go and read stuff what was the result like did they find interesting stuff.

577
00:53:22.440 --> 00:53:30.270
Jessie Sams: They did, and a lot of them like a lot of the comments that were made there, and some of them were sent to me directly.

578
00:53:31.350 --> 00:53:39.900
Jessie Sams: But a lot of the comments were really based around how different the one shot turned out for like so many different reasons.

579
00:53:40.290 --> 00:53:47.970
Jessie Sams: But specifically thinking about especially like the first moves, because when they walk into a room because, like the beginning of the the.

580
00:53:48.360 --> 00:53:55.920
Jessie Sams: The one shot is really the same for all four groups because they're all given the exact same scenario and set up to the point.

581
00:53:56.370 --> 00:54:02.010
Jessie Sams: In David made sure he gave them the same scenario, all the way up to the point where like they get to interact with somebody.

582
00:54:02.580 --> 00:54:17.100
Jessie Sams: And the way that it went from there, there were still some similar aspects for many of the groups, but what they really noticed was the differences between like when people chose to interact with these specific things.

583
00:54:17.670 --> 00:54:26.250
Jessie Sams: Like there were some animals in the middle of a room and some groups immediately went to try to save these animals that looked like they were you know caged and maybe not so happy.

584
00:54:26.550 --> 00:54:30.840
Jessie Sams: Other groups completely ignored them and did like perimeter checks and like so.

585
00:54:31.680 --> 00:54:43.620
Jessie Sams: It was just really interesting how that made such a difference for where they went from there, including how they asked questions, how they interacted with the other people, the non you know the npc and on playing characters.

586
00:54:44.790 --> 00:54:55.170
Jessie Sams: And even how they interacted as groups were very different like how they actually some groups didn't quite work together one group straight up like split in half, and they.

587
00:54:55.530 --> 00:54:56.940
Jessie Sams: kill the other half of the group.

588
00:54:58.740 --> 00:55:01.620
Jessie Sams: I think, by accident but i'm still not totally sure.

589
00:55:02.640 --> 00:55:16.200
Jessie Sams: But just the dynamics of how they interacted and and got to the end and the ending it was really four different endings because you know one group totally survived and did awesome.

590
00:55:17.400 --> 00:55:19.110
Jessie Sams: We had a group completely die.

591
00:55:21.210 --> 00:55:38.220
Jessie Sams: Like 100%, and so it was just it was that was, I think the biggest focus that they that they worked on, especially with that very opening there was an opening conversation with like the four of them were guards were like they're hired to be bodyguards or whatever.

592
00:55:39.480 --> 00:55:46.950
Jessie Sams: And they go up and they meet somebody guarding the door, and they have to get entry and like just that very opening conversation, a lot of people focused on.

593
00:55:48.240 --> 00:56:02.430
Jessie Sams: Just how different it was depending on what kind of character was speaking and what kind of mannerisms they took on and yeah so that was really where they focused and it was very interesting, so I sat through all four of those one shot.

594
00:56:02.790 --> 00:56:04.380
Jessie Sams: very interesting to compare.

595
00:56:05.430 --> 00:56:14.880
David Peterson: I was, I was really surprised by when when characters would diss obey orders, they were given and when they wouldn't.

596
00:56:15.600 --> 00:56:18.300
David Peterson: break none of them tried to get into their kitchen.

597
00:56:19.500 --> 00:56:25.110
Jessie Sams: No, no um so not only were a lot of the characters.

598
00:56:27.270 --> 00:56:38.250
Jessie Sams: More rule followers intense in terms of like a lot of them were kind of like aligning themselves on the D amp D alignment chart in terms of you know, like neutral good or whatever.

599
00:56:40.470 --> 00:56:42.720
Jessie Sams: or lawful good good neutral and good would be.

600
00:56:42.780 --> 00:56:46.590
David Peterson: chaotic neutral in the streets lawful good in the sheets, we know it.

601
00:56:49.920 --> 00:56:51.330
Jessie Sams: Sir, my students even.

602
00:56:55.920 --> 00:56:59.880
Jessie Sams: So, like one character in particular.

603
00:57:01.710 --> 00:57:06.900
Jessie Sams: He knew he was basically going to be killing himself to try to save another character.

604
00:57:07.140 --> 00:57:16.170
Jessie Sams: And as a player commented on that it was like oh gosh, this is not going to end well for me, but this is my character and so, then you know went back into character mode and.

605
00:57:16.590 --> 00:57:27.990
Jessie Sams: When I forget if there was a fire or just arrows everywhere, what was happening, but like he literally knew that essentially he his character was going to die, but he couldn't.

606
00:57:28.620 --> 00:57:38.190
Jessie Sams: go against what he thought his character, would do in that situation, and so you do get like interesting moments like that, where you get Meta commentary from the player.

607
00:57:39.720 --> 00:57:47.250
Jessie Sams: And then it's like, but here I go anyway, and also very interesting, is how well people use pronoun switches.

608
00:57:48.750 --> 00:57:59.130
Jessie Sams: When it's like as a character, they really get into it and say Oh, I do this or I you know i'm talking to so and so versus Oh well, my character walks up to so, and so, and so, those are some layer

609
00:57:59.130 --> 00:58:11.010
Jessie Sams: Differences too, because some people really stayed third person, the whole time and didn't really get into it and other people like some people were even playing with accents and everything so that was also some differences in players.

610
00:58:12.060 --> 00:58:15.360
David Peterson: That would actually be an interesting study.

611
00:58:16.680 --> 00:58:33.390
David Peterson: You know just in the have to be a huge one, but you what you do is you try to see how long does it take somebody to switch from my character to I some will start that way others won't How long does it take them to switch and.

612
00:58:34.470 --> 00:58:35.190
David Peterson: commonalities.

613
00:58:35.820 --> 00:58:38.490
Jessie Sams: it's also very interesting.

614
00:58:39.810 --> 00:58:48.090
Jessie Sams: In terms of looking at the reference for when you get the I me because, especially when you get into games like watching critical role do their videos.

615
00:58:49.740 --> 00:58:56.550
Jessie Sams: They when they're in just player mode chit chatting among themselves, like whether it's a break or they're all just teasing each other or whatever.

616
00:58:57.660 --> 00:59:03.390
Jessie Sams: One player will say to another like can you believe what I just did meaning my carrot, you know, meaning the character did it.

617
00:59:05.310 --> 00:59:18.540
Jessie Sams: And so it's just like it's really interesting the different reference that you have to keep track of in a role playing game to really be able to follow who's who and what's going on it's also interesting when you get situations.

618
00:59:19.590 --> 00:59:26.040
Jessie Sams: Where one player identifies as one gender, but then plays a character, who identifies as another gender.

619
00:59:27.360 --> 00:59:33.630
Jessie Sams: Specifically, because in this happens in critical role, all the time, if you watch their second campaign.

620
00:59:34.500 --> 00:59:47.220
Jessie Sams: Because Sam plays not, who is a female goblin and he identifies male and so anytime the players are talking to him as a player they use he but sometimes they'll accidentally use he for his character and.

621
00:59:47.580 --> 00:59:58.740
Jessie Sams: In his character's voice will always stop and go like I know i'm not pretty i'm a goblin, but I am a girl so it's just really funny because it's it's just trying to figure out what.

622
00:59:59.010 --> 01:00:02.070
Jessie Sams: pronoun forms to use whether you're in player character mode can be.

623
01:00:02.700 --> 01:00:03.480
Jessie Sams: Really intense.

624
01:00:05.790 --> 01:00:07.290
Jessie Sams: So anyway yeah that's a good start okay.

625
01:00:08.430 --> 01:00:10.650
David Peterson: yeah okay so.

626
01:00:12.060 --> 01:00:13.590
David Peterson: Last name which.

627
01:00:18.180 --> 01:00:21.930
Jessie Sams: Because I have never used a coddling and D amp D I just never have.

628
01:00:23.550 --> 01:00:25.110
David Peterson: i've also never liked one enter.

629
01:00:25.290 --> 01:00:27.150
Jessie Sams: i've never dmd or anything.

630
01:00:29.910 --> 01:00:35.430
David Peterson: Why, why do you not want to share your legs with your other D amp D.

631
01:00:37.350 --> 01:00:38.940
Jessie Sams: i'm quite frankly I don't think any.

632
01:00:40.110 --> 01:00:42.150
Jessie Sams: let's do the work to figure it out.

633
01:00:42.930 --> 01:00:45.690
David Peterson: You don't need to do work you just you just you just use it.

634
01:00:47.310 --> 01:00:48.870
Jessie Sams: start talking and a con line.

635
01:00:49.410 --> 01:00:57.900
David Peterson: Now, no but I mean know your your character's name and the names of things that your character finds things like know.

636
01:01:00.060 --> 01:01:06.630
Jessie Sams: If if I knew the story ahead of time and knew what words I would need in my language, for what my character would find.

637
01:01:07.830 --> 01:01:10.830
Jessie Sams: Then it wouldn't really be a D D campaign would it.

638
01:01:11.400 --> 01:01:13.050
David Peterson: Do it in between sessions.

639
01:01:15.900 --> 01:01:19.920
Jessie Sams: Like wait let's go back to last week remember when I found that thing.

640
01:01:21.510 --> 01:01:23.130
Jessie Sams: I know what to call it now.

641
01:01:23.460 --> 01:01:26.580
David Peterson: yeah Jane go hopper.

642
01:01:30.000 --> 01:01:31.140
Jessie Sams: that's a perfect name.

643
01:01:32.010 --> 01:01:35.940
David Peterson: yeah well you know the guy that did that voice was on an episode of murder she wrote.

644
01:01:37.140 --> 01:01:45.750
Jessie Sams: I did not know that I don't think it will take much for most people to know that you know way more about murder she wrote than I ever did, even though i've seen.

645
01:01:47.100 --> 01:01:54.030
Jessie Sams: pretty much all of the episodes and may have even seen them before you started watching them I don't know, but you know much more than I do.

646
01:01:54.600 --> 01:01:54.840
yeah.

647
01:01:56.010 --> 01:01:58.380
David Peterson: I do Okay, I pay a lot of attention.

648
01:02:00.300 --> 01:02:00.840
Jessie Sams: Nice.

649
01:02:02.370 --> 01:02:05.790
David Peterson: can't wait for next month's podcast, which is about murder she wrote.

650
01:02:09.270 --> 01:02:10.290
Jessie Sams: Murder, she spoke.

651
01:02:12.990 --> 01:02:18.180
David Peterson: I would love to see you know JESSICA fletcher engage with somebody who's creating their own language.

652
01:02:22.920 --> 01:02:24.000
Jessie Sams: would be something.

653
01:02:24.150 --> 01:02:28.920
David Peterson: you're telling me you create a job pronouns boats things like that.

654
01:02:32.880 --> 01:02:33.810
Jessie Sams: Oh, my gosh.

655
01:02:34.140 --> 01:02:34.380
i'm.

656
01:02:35.430 --> 01:02:39.060
David Peterson: going to start i'm going to do to start writing some episodes of mercy grabbing.

657
01:02:40.470 --> 01:02:41.400
Jessie Sams: Some fanfic.

658
01:02:42.870 --> 01:02:45.420
David Peterson: No, I want them to be produced a stage plays.

659
01:02:46.920 --> 01:02:50.370
Jessie Sams: But wouldn't that still be considered fanfic as a start.

660
01:02:54.630 --> 01:02:55.740
David Peterson: um.

661
01:02:56.970 --> 01:02:58.830
David Peterson: It depends, where you draw that line.

662
01:02:59.430 --> 01:02:59.790
Okay.

663
01:03:00.840 --> 01:03:01.200
David Peterson: You know.

664
01:03:03.120 --> 01:03:13.470
David Peterson: The lumbers of course you're going to say, well, everything is fanfic you know kind of like the the cotton langurs that say that it's impossible to create an opera Oregon like.

665
01:03:14.550 --> 01:03:19.350
Jessie Sams: Because it comes from some piece of a language that has been used somewhere along the way.

666
01:03:19.770 --> 01:03:25.380
David Peterson: yeah i'd be in because we all speak a language, and so we can't know what it's like to create language, without having a language.

667
01:03:27.990 --> 01:03:30.540
Jessie Sams: That is sure yeah.

668
01:03:31.200 --> 01:03:32.250
David Peterson: yeah I guess.

669
01:03:32.340 --> 01:03:33.840
Jessie Sams: that's that's one person.

670
01:03:35.070 --> 01:03:37.590
David Peterson: I find the attitude, a bit churlish myself.

671
01:03:39.990 --> 01:03:43.110
Jessie Sams: I find it a little bit too theoretical to give a shit.

672
01:03:43.710 --> 01:03:44.040
yeah.

673
01:03:47.370 --> 01:03:49.770
Jessie Sams: i'm just like yeah call it what you want here's.

674
01:03:53.640 --> 01:03:55.890
Jessie Sams: here's what i'm going to call it, and that's good.

675
01:03:57.060 --> 01:04:10.530
David Peterson: I will, I will I will close on this note the show that i've liked working on the least or one of the leaves definitely is my favorite show that i've ever worked on penny dreadful.

676
01:04:11.730 --> 01:04:12.330
Jessie Sams: Really.

677
01:04:12.510 --> 01:04:15.000
David Peterson: I think it's the highest quality thing i've ever worked on.

678
01:04:16.770 --> 01:04:19.560
David Peterson: In terms of writing and acting I think it's wonderful.

679
01:04:20.970 --> 01:04:22.410
David Peterson: And I really, really enjoyed it.

680
01:04:23.460 --> 01:04:25.080
David Peterson: But it was awful to work on.

681
01:04:26.640 --> 01:04:33.420
David Peterson: And, but they came out with a version of clue that was penny dreadful thing.

682
01:04:34.080 --> 01:04:46.260
David Peterson: And I bought it and it's still in the plastic i've never played it because you know I don't have anybody to play with you know what I just pull out a clue penny dreadful and play with people have never seen the show like what's the point right.

683
01:04:46.740 --> 01:04:50.190
David Peterson: Right yeah so i'm waiting one day.

684
01:04:50.310 --> 01:04:52.980
Jessie Sams: someday someday is it.

685
01:04:55.200 --> 01:04:56.700
Jessie Sams: No that's not the same one.

686
01:04:58.380 --> 01:05:01.800
Jessie Sams: Is paint now Neil Patrick Harris, he was in something.

687
01:05:02.190 --> 01:05:03.420
Jessie Sams: That was totally different.

688
01:05:03.660 --> 01:05:05.070
Jessie Sams: Thank you, I was like.

689
01:05:06.270 --> 01:05:10.350
Jessie Sams: I was introduced to both of them around the same time, so, for some reason I always get their names mixed up.

690
01:05:10.770 --> 01:05:11.850
David Peterson: They couldn't be more different.

691
01:05:13.710 --> 01:05:17.940
Jessie Sams: And yet it's the names that i'm except i'm not saying mix the shows up.

692
01:05:17.940 --> 01:05:18.840
David Peterson: Just the names.

693
01:05:21.240 --> 01:05:28.560
David Peterson: very similar you know well, actually, I guess you're right horrible and dreadful I take it back, I was gonna make I was going to poke a little fun.

694
01:05:33.270 --> 01:05:37.440
Jessie Sams: The fun poking are you reticent to to do that.

695
01:05:41.160 --> 01:05:42.210
Jessie Sams: And now, he stopped.

696
01:05:44.670 --> 01:05:45.960
That was me being reticent.

697
01:05:48.090 --> 01:05:49.260
David Peterson: unwilling to speak.

698
01:05:51.180 --> 01:05:51.720
Okay.

699
01:05:53.700 --> 01:05:56.820
David Peterson: Anyway, I, by the way, I assume you haven't seen penny dreadful.

700
01:05:57.510 --> 01:05:58.290
Jessie Sams: No, not yet.

701
01:06:00.000 --> 01:06:05.760
David Peterson: it's a, it is a high recommend it is, but you know you know what it's more or less about right.

702
01:06:07.200 --> 01:06:08.430
Jessie Sams: off the top of my head now.

703
01:06:09.150 --> 01:06:17.280
David Peterson: 19th century classic like monsters and supernatural stuff but all living at the same time in London.

704
01:06:17.910 --> 01:06:22.770
David Peterson: Okay, so they're vampires Frankenstein dorian grades in it.

705
01:06:24.390 --> 01:06:27.120
David Peterson: Alan quarter main or an Allen quarter main like guy.

706
01:06:28.650 --> 01:06:29.160
David Peterson: Where will.

707
01:06:30.150 --> 01:06:30.510
Okay.

708
01:06:32.670 --> 01:06:35.580
David Peterson: But then very, very seriously.

709
01:06:37.980 --> 01:06:40.920
David Peterson: Consider is you know blood and Gore.

710
01:06:42.510 --> 01:06:44.490
Jessie Sams: which you know how I am with that so.

711
01:06:44.970 --> 01:06:45.390
David Peterson: I know.

712
01:06:49.440 --> 01:06:50.250
Jessie Sams: gentle soul.

713
01:06:55.080 --> 01:06:56.310
David Peterson: All right, so.

714
01:06:59.340 --> 01:07:11.160
David Peterson: I, I think that at this point, we are going to close the podcast and the way we usually do, which is, I say some things and then Jesse struggles for last words right.

715
01:07:11.400 --> 01:07:16.050
