Hey all, this is to let you know that I'm going to be doing a live Q&A session on #rpgnetchat TONIGHT!
I'll be interviewed by the venerable Dan Davenport (former RPGnet moderator, current theRPGsite contributor and the second-best rpg-reviewer in the hobby), but will also be taking questions from the crowd.
So if you want to ask me about Dark Albion, Cults of Chaos, D&D, my other games, the OSR, the Swine, OBS' appalling censorship policies and the totalitarians who push it, or any other subjects related to Punditry, then please come join us, starting at 7:00pm CDT! You can get to the chat through this link (http://tinyurl.com/rpgnetchat).
We are eagerly awaiting your presence.
I was at my weekly game, did anything interesting happen?

I was Adventure League, so I will echo James Gillen, did I miss anything?
I missed it too. You can view it here (https://gmshoe.wordpress.com/2016/08/10/qa-the-rpgpundit-dark-albion-cults-of-chaos/#more-2333).
I was going to ask, "If someone did a reasonably entertaining live video play of an Arrows of Indra campaign, would you watch it, and would you look for indications of how the rules are playing out in the videos, in addition to just the entertainment factor?"
I thought that it was interesting; I learned some new things, despite having the power cut out due to a bad storm right in the middle of things.
Here's the questions I would have asked:
1. In the Dark Albion setting, to what detail is the rest of Europe, Middle-East, Africa, Asia etc described?
2. What's the textbook definition of Law and Chaos in this world? It seems to be different than traditional Moorcockian Law/Chaos.
3. How different are the spells from D&D standard versions. Are there Fireballs, etc?
4. Are there any Demons/Devils etc statted out and are they substantively different then the D&D versions?
Great job, Pundit!
Unfortunately the Pundit made Dark Albion and Cults of Chaos look very appealing to me. This makes me sad because I know the local gaming group do not interface with game settings enough to make running this a satisfying experience for me.
Ooh, i missed it! How did it go? :)
(edit: Thanks for the transcript, Mistwell!)

Well, depending on what you mean by that, Cults of Chaos could still be useful to you. You can totally use Cults to make up an evil cult to use in a single adventure, in just about any D&D setting.
