Gm Word Of The Week

It’s the color of royalty. And magic. And mystery. And piety. Which seems like a lot really for just one color. But purple — well, a certain kind of purple — has a long complicated history. Understanding where it comes from and how it got here can help us understand other things as well. Like the significance of color, the importance of laws, and whether it rhymes with anything at all.. Purple even helps make you smarter. Support us on patreon to get more excellent episodes just like this. https://www.patreon.com/GMWordoftheWeek

Look. It’s weird, right? There’s some little flying elephant thing in this Dungeons and Dragons adventure and, even if you don’t think so, we find it weird. Like, really mind bogglingly weird. But not for any of the reasons you might think. So, come along with us and let’s try to figure out the weirdness of the hollyphant. By way of, well, everything. Because when it gets right down to it, the source of the weirdness is a real lulu. Support GM Word of the Week on Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/GMWordoftheWeek

Now that Halloween is out of the way, it’s time to bring in the harvest. And boy are there a lot of different harvest traditions. But before we get into that, let’s talk about one of the biggest harvest celebrations of all. That’s right, Thanksgiving. Because it’s coming up sooner than you’d believe. But the thing is, in America, the Thanksgiving holiday isn’t really celebrating what you think it is celebrating. So, what’s going on? Let’s find out.

You’ve seen them in movies and 70s TV shows. They’re practically everywhere. The Ghost Town. But how did they get there? What happened to them that left them empty? And why did certain kinds of sitcoms spend so much time in them? We can’t really answer that last one for you. But those other questions? We’ve got those covered. And along the way, we’ll explain why what you don’t see is the scariest thing of all. If you’ve enjoyed our October series, why not join our Patreon? https://www.patreon.com/GMWordoftheWeek
