Thank you for joining us to say goodbye to Hieron....

From beginning...

...to end!!

It's been quite a journey and we had a great time capping it off by answering some of your questions! We had such a wonderful outpouring of support and love the past week and it really means the most to us! We love doing this and we love that people enjoy listening to it.

Over the next weeks, the friends behind Friends at the Table are going to take a short break before starting our sixth season: PARTIZAN, a story of war, politics, faith, and (yes) giant mechs. You can hear the trailer in this episode or by itself, right here, and you can check out the game we'll be playing in PARTIZAN, Austin Ramsay's Beam Saber, right here.

But before we get there, to keep your podcast feed warm, we'll be sharing the Road to Season Six, an anthology of one-shots played in different systems that will bridge the Twilight Mirage and PARTIZAN seasons. The Road to Season Six isn't necessary listening if you want to hop on board PARTIZAN in a couple of months, but it definitely provides some big picture context for the stakes and history that lead us to this new setting!

These episodes originated as Live at the Table games, available to watch live for all of our Patreon supporters, and if you want to check them out (unedited, without music) right now, you can actually do that! Just go to friendsatthetable.cash and become a $5 supporter to get access to all of the Live at the Table games, our bonus campaign, Bluff City, and both Tips at the Table and Drawing Maps, two shows that share our thoughts on playing and prepping games. For just $1, you can get years of "Clapcasts," collections of the all the chatter between us that happens before we get into the game proper.

(Speaking of Live at the Table, most of the past Live at the Table music is NOW AVAILABLE over on Jack's bandcamp. Go check it out!)

If you're already a patron, or if you're not looking for more podcast to listen to but want to support the show somehow, then guess what: We have TWO new pieces of merchandise to check out.

First, we've teamed up with Heart of the Deernicorn (creator of Fall of Magic and BFF!) and the incredible artist Simon Sweetman to make this Fall of Magic t-shirt, hoody, and print, featuring characters from our very own playthrough of that game!

Second, we've opened up our own online store at friendsatthetable.shop, where you can (FINALLY!) buy prints of the incredible Hieron cover art by artist Craig Sheldon! A single print is $15 USD, but you can get the entire set for just $35!

Welcome to Friends at the Table, an actual play podcast focused on critical world-building, smart characterization, and fun interactions between good friends.

We are doing the spring and high run and seasons of high run post-mortem today. Yeah, it's a lot, you know, I feel like a lot of us said goodbye to the show when we finished the last episode, or when we finished recording the last pickup, or when you finished layering a billion different tracks, Ali. And yet, here we are ready to say goodbye to it again. So I guess real quick, before we get into the questions, the first thing I want to say is thank you so much for all of your support. Listeners, for all of the incredible love you've shown us over the years, and then especially as we wrapped up high run. We received questions from over 110 people last I checked. We received, you know, easily over 250 questions. Just counting the ones that came in before the deadline hit. Some stuff did not get through because of the deadline, but I promise most of that stuff was asked elsewhere in that collection. Also, I edited these down to just the, one, we are not answering 250 questions. That would be too many questions to answer. So we've kind of found the words. Keith is going to do a seven hour live stream, everybody. We're all going to go, but Keith is going to stay after. Keith got you. If there's a question for someone else, I will answer it. I'll just do my best. Yeah, uh huh. And Keith's answers are all going to be Canada, too, after the week. Yeah. That's true. Anything will be true. Everything he says counts. Everything he says counts, that's right. If I say something not true, it becomes true. Well, let me finish my little intro spiel that I have. All right, but I have a note, I have a note. Okay, speaking of notes, we got a bunch of them, along with all of those questions, a lot of them were thanking us for the show. There was a great thread going around in response to, it was either the fat fan art or the fat quote Twitter. I don't remember which one.
