BONUS EPISODE: Hinomaru Sumo

November 6, 2018

Hey, Frankie here, a couple of notes before today's episode,

First some heads up: we talk about a scene where some sexual abuse happens, and a scene where a teen accidentally exposes himself to a female student

also, my energy is kinda low this episode, I’ve had a rough week when we recorded this

one last thing,, episode 4 didn't have any of the problems we had with episodes 1-3, there may be more problems but 4 is pretty good

Fridays at 9pm Eastern we’ll be watching new episodes of Hinomaru at rabb.it/DaMoonRulz and starting this Sunday we’ll do our nightly group watch of Sumo Highlights from the November Basho, also at 9pm Eastern, and also at rabb.it/DaMoonRulz

Episode 7 - Post Sep 2018

October 15, 2018

Another Basho over, Frankie and Eric bring you the recap of the last days and then they pick up the slack the Sumo Association puts down by giving their own special prices to the rikishi!

Check out the Kickstarter for Thirteen Demon Princes because Frankie is writing for it. It just so happens that Taylor LaBresh, the creator, was also a guest on Inside The Masters Studio (You know, that show you never think about).

Taylor also hosts Game Closet. Rotating segments include: From Scratch, an exercise in learning tabletop roleplaying games, Game Closet, a chance to meet & talk to cool queer & LGBT+ tabletop gamers, and Critical Theory, an analysis of games & game design.

Many thanks to Veldrin for the amazing album art
