The Hypothesis: Episode 5

The Alchemist & the Golem LIVE!

Dearest listener,

This episode of our Hypothesis contains a different outlook than our previous iterations. Herein, we present to you a live recording captured at Gen Con ‘24 of your humble alchemists at their labors. In this experiment, we attempt to play our game, The Alchemist & the Golem with each other and then, as a body, with the audience. I think you may be surprised to learn just how difficult it is to induce a golem to play a roleplaying game.

In addition, for your visual delights, we display photographs captured by our producer Trevor Casterline at said event. Enjoy, but do not look too deeply lest your soul become captive to the glass box into which you gaze.

Once complete, use your hand to move the pointer device until the pointer indicator hovers over the lozenge containing “Suscribe,” then depress your finger on the pointer device button.
