This week, Mike is joined by the powerful Alton Wheelhouse – the creator & lead architect of the upcoming tabletop RPG game Dimensions! In part 1 of their chat, Mike & Alton discuss Alton’s beginnings in the tabletop RPG realm, why he’s decided to create a new role playing game (similar in style to Dungeons & Dragons in many respects), the appeal of easter eggs in games (along with hints of how to find them in Dimensions), what the appeal of video games & tabletop RPG games are to people, some of the features that makes Dimensions different from other RPGs and much more! Next week Mike & Alton’s chat continues with a discussion on the importance of childlike wonder, the importance of effort, touching on the concept of “good & evil”, how video games & RPGs can help bring people together, the impact games can have on anxieties & mental illnesses, Alton’s biggest challenge creating Dimensions, what they want Dimensions to achieve through it’s Kickstarter, the art of Dimensions and so much more, so be sure to check it out!

"Dermot Davey ... is a twenty-nine-year-old New York City cop who is in trouble ... He's a lousy husband and a lousy father, and he's apt to forget what happens when he drinks, which is often, so he's a pretty lousy cop. The Department officials often consider him too unstable to carry a gun ... The hop to Northern Ireland isn't much of an escape, but it's an out that Dermot grabs. Of course he has to visit relatives ... most expecially the father he hasn't seen in more than twenty years. In the embattled alleyways and barricaded pubs of Ulster, Dermot ... [learns] about the devils in himself, and how they have made his survival as tenuous as it is brutal"--Cover

William Griffith Thomas was a pastor, teacher and co-founder of the Dallas Theological Seminary. This book contains nine devotional commentaries on prayers from Paul's letters to the churches at Thessalonica, Colossi and Ephesus. Thomas is theologically conservative. His commentaries both look at the meaning of the text and apply it to the heart. Summary by MaryAnn.

Edith Matilda Thomas (August 12, 1854 – September 13, 1925) was an American poet who "was one of the first poets to capture successfully the excitement of the modern city." This poem taken from the The Little Book of Modern Verse. 1917.; Jessie B. Rittenhouse, ed. (1869–1948) - Summary by Wikipedia

7Charley's Aunt

By Brandon Thomas

The girlfriends are coming to visit the chaps at college, but of course they can't stay unless there is a proper chaperone. So what could be more reasonable that getting a friend from the Drama Club to dress up and pretend to be Charley's Aunt? Simple and sure to work! What could go wrong? Howsabout the real aunt arriving? This play has been revived and adapted numerous times including as films, a Broadway musical, and even an opera. (NOTE: the script contains an almost overwhelming number of stage directions by the author telling each actor what emotion to show, where to move, and even how to create some of the visual effects. Because the directions give a good idea of the on-stage pandemonium one would see at a production of this farce, I have chosen to leave the directions in this audio performance.) - Summary by ToddHW <BR><BR>Cast list:<BR> STEPHEN SPETTIGUE, Solicitor, Oxford: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/12500">Foon</a><br> COLONEL SIR FRANCIS CHESNEY, BART., Late Indian Service: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/8425">Larry Wilson</a><br> JACK CHESNEY, Graduate at St. Olde's College, Oxford: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/12431">Tom Daley</a><br> CHARLEY WYKEHAM, Graduate at St. Olde's College, Oxford: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/11905">Wolfgang Bas</a><br> LORD FANCOURT BABBERLEY, Graduate at St. Olde's College, Oxford: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/10789">Tomas Peter</a><br> BRASSETT, A College Scout: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/6754">ToddHW</a><br> DONNA-LUCIA D'ALVADOREZ, From Brazil: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/10179">Sonia</a><br> AMY SPETTIGUE, Spettigue's Niece: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/10614">Leanne Yau</a><br> KITTY VERDUN, Spettigue's Ward: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/6281">Beth Thomas</a><br> ELA DELAHAY: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/11790">TJ Burns</a><br> Stage Directions: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/11084">Devorah Allen</a><br> Edited by: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/6754">ToddHW</a>

8Poems by Edward Thomas

By Edward Thomas

Born in 1878, Thomas published his first book when he was 18. Having married while still at university, he supported his family by writing articles and books, some in the form of what we might call slow travel writing, compiled on walks throughout England and Wales. He came to poetry late, encouraged by Robert Frost, and wrote 144 poems between 1914, and 1917 when he was killed, two years after enlisting, and shortly after arriving in France. <br><br> His poetic life coincided with WW1, and though not a war poet, his is the poetry of loss, of life as it would never be again. What is powerful to the English imagination is his depiction of the fragility of the English countryside. This is inseparable from his deep understanding of the longings and regrets of those who would die. Transience and mortality are at the heart of his work. This is true in one of the country’s favourite poems, to be found on this recording: Adlestrop. He is important to other poets in that, at his best, his poetry is quietly, sometimes coldly, conversational, with a slow beat that takes us with him as he thinks through from line to line, and wraps us in his vision of life and the natural world. (Summary by Judith Brennan)

Jātaka tales are ancient Indian folktales that form a part of Buddhist teaching, telling stories of the Buddha’s past lives. Akin to Aesop’s fables, some strikingly similar, they urge the listener to moral behavior and often, more than that, point a way to real insight. - Summary by Scotty Smith

Two fifteen-year-old boys---the younger of whom may have been fourteen---decide to hunt and trap away from home in the north woods of Maine. A true recounting of their adventures can be found here, though the years that passed before the tale was written down may have added a slight bit of exaggeration. Then again, they set out in the winter of 1875 and all that's written could very well be the complete and honest truth! The listener may wish to listen first to Section 18 of this recording---Notes on Maine Animals---as familiarity with these will enhance an understanding of the memoir.

An explanation of the concept of industrial democracy and its relation to capitalism. (Summary by progressingamerica)

This collection celebrates the marigold in verse from the 17th through the 20th centuries. - Summary by Newgatenovelist

In terms of population, in terms of development and in terms of wealth, Victoria boomed in the 1850s and 1860s due to the Gold Rush. Undeniably, the colony had money to burn. Surprise port visits by the Russian corvette Bogatyr and the Confederate warship Shenandoah in the 1860s awakened in Victoria a deep sense of vulnerability, and Victorians set their minds to a new domestic project – a decades long pursuit of security. That effort would ultimately give rise to extensive coastal fortifications, militia and artillery formations both voluntary and professional, sea mines, and a small but not inconsequential naval flotilla whose backbone would be the formidable ironclad H.M.V.S. Cerberus. Not that these efforts were confined to Victoria alone. The not-infrequently perilous straits of the Mother Country as it navigated the treacherous shoals of European politics and global empire provided ample reasons for insomnia. To varying degrees the other states too had constituted forces, and most made a start at acquiring ‘warships’—an assemblage tending more to the ‘dinky’ side than that term might otherwise suggest. But where naval matters were concerned New South Wales made something of a false start, while Queensland and South Australia simply started late. Whether this is because the issue didn’t resonate as much in the other colonies, or whether Victoria simply had larger resources to sink into an inherently (economically) unproductive project is not immediately obvious. Efforts _were_ made in all the colonies, however and joint defence and a federal fleet would be a not insignificant impetus towards Federation. The Australian colonies would largely abandon armaments acquisition with the depression of the 1890s, but the arrival of Theodore Roosevelt’s Great White Fleet in 1908 exercised popular imagination, and the recently federated Commonwealth of Australia set about acquiring a new navy. This new Royal Australian Navy, lead by the battle-cruiser HMAS Australia, steamed into Sydney Harbour for the first time in late 1913. This new institution would be tested far more strenuously than the naval forces of the unfederated colonies ever were.
