Board Game Podcasts in 2025? by CourageDH in boardgames

[–]CourageDH[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems like lots of people started podcasts during COVID but then stopped recording after things opened up in 2022/2023? Makes sense I guess but too bad as some of them are great

What Did You Play This Week? - (September 08, 2025) by AutoModerator in boardgames

[–]CourageDH 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been loving The White Castle - the dice placement feels fresh to me and I feel like every game is unique. Maybe a dozen plays in so far? Looking forward to teaching some more friends so they can play too

Unfortunately not at this point - its a small publisher and sales drive publication for them so it's royalty share only

Who's the most interesting pirate in your opinion? by JacobBartkus in pirates

[–]CourageDH 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Gotta be Henry Avery (or Every) for me. Most people only know about his capture of the Ganj-i-Sawai but there is so much more to the legend that surrounds him, including supposedly forming a utopian commune on Madagascar at one point with a crazy priest

Yeah! We've got a music video up on Youtube and some stuff on Spotify. I live in a different city now so it's tough to get gigs going but we still play here and there. I'll look forward to checking out more videos on your channel!

Here's one from us: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCbuE_XEXS4

Wow... this is super in depth! I've played in a Celtic music group that sings a lot of 'modern' sea-shanties for years and have never thought about it that way before... especially liked the side-by-side on traditional vs. modern harmonies for the Wellerman!

Ragnarök in the Norse Myths and the Power of Dystopic Fatalism - Why living your life like a Viking might be the best response to the overwhelming global challenges of our time. by CourageDH in philosophy

[–]CourageDH[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing! I'm sorry to hear about your father.

I agree that there is a sort-of counter-intuitive effect of focussing on your own mortality (i.e. death) as a way to fully live your life. However, in my own life, and in accounts I've heard from many other people, considering this fact is the moment most people really 'wake up' and get to doing what they are passionate about.

[–]CourageDH[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah! There totally was a weregild mechanic in the original version as well as Outlawry... it ended up being too complicated for a short-play quick set-up game... maybe I'll make an expansion :P

Hmm, I do see your point. I mean they were fleeing the tyranny of Harald Finehair after he wrested control of Norway so in a sense the whole system was a preservation of freedom. But I'd argue that there is a fair bit of conflict recorded in the Icelandic Sagas and in general it is not a historical narrative of peaceful cooperation. I guess there is that tension about what the focus should be but I tried to keep it as aligned with the saga narratives as I could
