"Penders, ever trapped will be
Until the Scarlet Elf you see.

But no such being will appear
So long as there is death to fear.

Destroy the evils in that place,
But take your time. It's not a race.

The flow of minutes in OUR veil
Is slower than a creeping snail.

With portal wide as you step in it,
Gone you'll be for just a minute.
That will be OUR point of view.
Your task might seem an hour or two.

Of the evils there are Four!
I cannot scrye beyond the door.
‘Else I'd give you counsel wise
From what they are, to their sock size!

You'll know if you have victory
When the Scarlet Elf you see.

The Scarlet Elf will free our Boss,
Of life or limb no suffered loss!
The Ship restored right as we please
With Time enough to Serve the Cheese!

A Magic gift to each brave soul
Who ventures to achieve this goal.
Save our special Day of Fun,
And Pelor Bless Us. Everyone!"

- Vinny - Elven Cleric of Pelor

Session 208 - DnD 5e The Zutain Campaign progresses another step as our party of adventurers find themselves in the royal court of the Chabba and have an audience with THE KING. Anim was more awake this time, and it may sound as if he's squeezing his nose shut, but rest assured he was simply congested.

Also . . . While it's on my mind . . . You'll find the term DnD used in most of these episode descriptions instead of D ampersand D. It would be preferable to use the ampersand, but it simply BEGS iTunes to zero in on it and treat it as some kind of code abberation which it uses to reject my entire RSS feed. I know there is a special character that can be used in place of the ampersand, but I'm not going to experiment until I break everything again. Thank you for enduring this story. :) .

"Penders, ever trapped will be
Until the Scarlet Elf you see.

But no such being will appear
So long as there is death to fear.

Destroy the evils in that place,
But take your time. It's not a race.

The flow of minutes in OUR veil
Is slower than a creeping snail.

With portal wide as you step in it,
Gone you'll be for just a minute.
That will be OUR point of view.
Your task might seem an hour or two.

Of the evils there are Four!
I cannot scrye beyond the door.
‘Else I'd give you counsel wise
From what they are, to their sock size!

You'll know if you have victory
When the Scarlet Elf you see.

The Scarlet Elf will free our Boss,
Of life or limb no suffered loss!
The Ship restored right as we please
With Time enough to Serve the Cheese!

A Magic gift to each brave soul
Who ventures to achieve this goal.
Save our special Day of Fun,
And Pelor Bless Us. Everyone!"

Session 181 - A Gutter Skypes GodsToasting Special - Merry GodsToasting to All!

Our Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition Adventure Continues with a Holiday Celebration on Quincunx! According the The Great Scholarly Wizard "Gary of Pequanic" - GODS-TOASTING is an annual Holiday Celebrated on the Island Nation of Quincunx, in the southern hemisphere of Zutain.

Legend has it that Quincunx was very difficult to farm for the first settlers. And when a Cherry Orchard finally yielded a bountiful crop, the planters all gathered and lifted their glasses in a toast to the gods for helping, or at least allowing it to happen.

The tradition was carried over each year... starting with a celebration dinner and a single Toast to whatever god any individual kept faith in. Over a hundred years it became a day of nearly continuous inebriation. Cultural variations of this celebration have worked their way in, and the introduction of Gifts being exchanged on the date became very popular.

Also, the practice evolved of paying a small charitable fee to Arcane Practitioners with expertise in weather manipulation. They being called upon to cover as much of Quincunx with snow as possible thus giving both town and wild lands at least a single day of "clean" and "pure".

It is universally agreed among all temples and faiths that GodsToasting is a Time for Aiding light against the dark, Meting out Justice against the wicked, Helping others in time of need, and restoring as much balance as possible to the world.

Glug, glug, glug. . . . .merry godzzztoassztinnkk ;) Nikki plays Argante, a Human Bard. Trilobite plays Rhogar, a Dragonborn Ranger. Blindgeek Plays Bonesteele, a Human Rogue, Andros plays Cuddy, a Human Monk and Anim5 DM's. Merry Christmas Folks ;)

Lyrics to Florian's Christmas Gift Recording:

Gutter Skypes
( Sung to the tune of "Jingle Bells")

A man called Anim five
was bored out of his mind
and thought he'd better find,
some folks of a like mind.
They tried out a fate game,
it started rather tame,
but soon Nick Tesla climbed out on the wings of a biplane!

|:Oh Gutter Skypes, Gutter Skypes, always make my day! Oh what fun it is to hear you banter, laugh and play, hey! :|

Anim hosts the show,
Mark Kinney is a pro,
and Blinkgeek's awesome voice-acting will make the tension grow,
Andros is always bright,
Nikki kills you on sight,
and now they even managed to pick up the Trilobite!

|:chorus:|

They sailed the seven Skies,
they hunted scary ghosts,
they have been ultra-spies,
they even had guest hosts!
Hard crunch isn't their thing,
they want a great story,
and so they often will return
to spirit of century!

|:chorus:|

Their banter is great fun,
They read out their fanmail,
they ..._________________
and then their mics will fail.
It's been now seven years,
they blew our minds and ears,
so we will raise our glasses high and bring them our cheers!

|:chorus:|

[[ THANK YOU FLORIAN! Excellent!!!! :) ]]

Episode 131 - Starships and Spacemen! Mark Kinney battles through Gutter Skypes wildness and a MASSIVELY MALEVOLENT Skype connection to lead us triumphantly into our first play session of STARSHIPS AND SPACEMEN! A Game that originated in 1978 and described as "Star Trek" with the serial numbers filed off.

You will find this to be another Very Large audio instalment because two evenings were combined to create it.

The Very first part includes Listener feedback, and pre-character creation banter. Audio of the Character creation is skipped this time around and we go to the next session - more Listener Feedback and Pre-Game banter.. then GAME PLAY! Yes! Actual Gameplay in a Gutter Skypes episode! ( as the kids say..."LOLZ" )

As always, with File lengths this big...you are warned to take small bites and to wait at least one hour after you're done listening before going swimming.

" Playtest of Our FIASCO Playset " (With Special Guests from The Big Red Couch!)

All the hints were true! The Gutter Skypes spent two or three sessions cobbling together a FIASCO playset and We're calling it "FiasCon!" unless we think of something better or until someone tells us to stop.

The Grand over all theme of the Playset is the Science Fiction / Fantasy / Gaming / Comics Fan Convention experience and all the mayhem that can be placed in such a setting.

Filling in all the possibilities in the various categories was a challenging and entertaining experience all by itself, but with the chassis welded and the engine loosely wired up front . . we decided to slap some wheels on it and see if it would roll for a while.

Play Test Time! And to add fuel for fun and ramp up the creativity we were lucky enough to have two members of "The Big Red Couch" as our guests! Tonya and Kevin joined us to help kick the tires on this baby and check the handling.

In my opinion...to borrow from Hunter Thompson...this playset "corners like a Lotus." But I'm biased. And As Mister K pointed out... More testing is always a good thing.

Listen in and let us know what you think. It won't be long before we've got a Splash Page, Elevator pitch and all the missing parts filled in so Everybody who wants to can give it a try!

Mark Kinney Played 'Chet Mannly' and Game Mastered ( Yes... it's true FIASCO isn't supposed to require a GM . . but Mister K has been MORE than patient with our little delinquent, "rules challenged" crew and he keeps us on course and within the framework of the game. My aim for the next FIASCO we play is to learn the rules well enough myself so that Mark can relax too and just have a good time playing.) 

Tonya Played Jillian Fish, Nikki Played Jemmy McDermitt, Kevin Played Rachel Hensley, Andros played Ron Wilco and anim5 hammed it up as NPC's along the way. Grab hold of your camera, bottled water, backpack, Four-Day-Pass and Granola bars . . and press PLAY!

The Gutter Skypes shoot the breeze ( and score a direct hit ). Arguably, this is a Gaming-Free episode, but we DO spend some time filling in a 5 x 12 table with character names, embodiments, weapons, locations and Prized treasures from every corner of the imagination.

Not so much a game as a mental exercise that thousands in the gaming world have done before us.

Still great fun mixed in among the pop culture gab and catching up in a relaxed get-together. Edison Force Will return in time, but for now . . it's just a bit of listener email and us Talkin'. Hope it passes some pleasant hours for all!!

(Please pardon the less-than-stellar audio quality in this episode. It was recorded using a hand-held digital gizmo shoved up inside the headsets. Just like the first two Gutter Skypes :). No worries though, Powergramo was re-aquired and Skype will be recorded normally in future installments.)

Editor's note: Please accept my apologies for a missing Session. The team did set out earlier than this, but that play session was lost in the time and space of audio recording apocalypse. Not to worry though. The play in that gathering was only 40 minutes or so.. and continuity does not suffer.

Ladies and Gentleman - As you well know the Podcasting Seas for the S.S. "GutterSkypes" Have been ranging from Choppy . . to Downright terrifying, with Mountainous waves that threaten to capsize us.

It all has to do with the trials of Real Life and the chaotic nature of the Calendar and all-to-often a catastrophic synchronization of delays, events and misfortunes falling with Eerie precision every two weeks on a Wednesday that was normally blessed with calm.

It has therefore become prudent and wise - For The GutterSkypes to take a break. To recharge our collective Game Batteries, Convalesce and Most importantly.. lay low while the gods fling their cosmic Poo.

We WILL be Back together and recording after a Summer of avoiding direct sunlight and hopefully the notice and scrutiny of a suddenly malicious universe - At the end of September! The Adventures in Time and Space - Doctor Who . . will resume and we will Catch up on some additional and Very much appreciated Email.

In the mean time . . Please Note: Mark Kinney can always be heard on the Multiple Award Winning "All Games Considered" - He and Carol and Mags remain the steadfast and professional ace reporters of the Gaming World . . .

You can hear Blindgeek on Monkeys Took My Jet Pack will continue to be recording and posting new episodes.

I would also recommend checking out The Sunday Skypers and Porcelain Llama Theatre AND Re-Visiting - RPG PODCASTS . COM There are so many Gaming Podcasts on that site . . have you taken a look there lately?

So . . . There we have it . . What may seem like a long time folks . . will actually be quite short . . with the rapid acceleration of time that's been happening lately . . you'll probably be SHOCKED and perhaps even a bit frightened at just how soon we'll be back. . . but until then . .
