    FATT is really a show where each subsequent season is better than the last, Austin and the players grow so much and they really figure out how to make it in such a way that it couldn’t work as anything but actual play- the format really starts to justify itself more and more as they go. Partizan is wonderful and Palisade (so far) is probably just straight up my favorite piece of media.

    I listened in the order Partizan->Sangfielle->Twilight Mirage->Counter/weight->Marielda (current). And honestly, I had a lot of trouble getting through CW- if you really like CW, you’re gonna REALLY like the later ones. Unfortunately, TM is incredibly long and also drags in a lot of places- it’s the season that IMO is more fun to think about than listen to, but it is unfortunately pretty foundational for Palisade. But Partizan (and Sangfielle, for that matter) is designed to stand on its own as an entry point into the podcast.

    Oh btw you know that list the cast gives in that interview of media they want set in the Divine Cycle? Their Road To Palisade is just them going down that list making one-off worldbuilding games based on each entry (plus the first one to set the stage and Orbital, which was a donation incentive for an abortion fundraiser they did)

      yeah that’s what i’ve heard but my brain won’t let me listen out of order now that i’ve started c/w. i’m lucky i didn’t commit myself to listening to every episode from the start in order

      also the stuff with the road to palisade sounds super cool, i’m excited to get there

          like 12 episodes? i haven’t listened in a while and i don’t really remember. i might need to just start over now that i’ve reached a good stopping point in my non-currently updating podcasts (finished victory gundam with ggp)

          and my plan is to listen to the scifi seasons of fatt and then go back if i want to listen to other stuff later
