This week, the podcast is sponsored by the Imperial Bank of Botherton. If you have a mountain of gold coins looted from an unfortunately deceased goblin tribe, or a cache of valuable gems liberated from a sadly-demised commune of bugbears, you'll find no better place to store it. The Imperial Bank of Botherton's vault is guarded by nuclear bear owls, and its adamantine doors are enchanted by the greatest mage in all the... Oh, wait, I think there must be an error. I'm the greatest mage in all the world. Who is this pretender? Who? Who? I demand to know!
Hello, hello, hello, and welcome to Morris' unofficial tabletop RPG talk. I am Russ, a.k.a. Morris, or Morris, a.k.a.
Russ, and with me this week is... PJ Coffey from the Southampton Guild of Roleplayers. Russ, how's it going? I am delighted to be here. And joining us this week, is she feeling French? Is she feeling like an old-timey burglar? Who can say? All we know is it's... c'est moi Jessica from Ian Publishing but no you need the beret I have a beret somewhere well there we go podcast hats we should make make them a comeback I prefer the burglar idea with a sack that says swag on it I probably have that too I could I mean could have a beret and a little domino mask and a bag that says swag on good too I feel that would that would tick a lot of boxes hmm
Let me tell you the thing that I'm most excited about that's happened this week.
Oh, we're on to actual news now?
Yeah, news, if that's okay. So we talked last week, there's the International Longshoremen's Association was having a port strike in the US, which is valid, fair, love a union, love a strike, all for that. But that would mean that would significantly impact a lot of imports and exports, particularly things coming from Europe to the east coast of the US. And of course, of course... That is something us at EM Publishing are just finishing printing something and sending it over. But yeah, so I was a little bit worried about that. And on Monday of this week, we were seeing if they were going to reach a resolution, but they didn't. And so the strike happened. But now, as of today, they have reached a tentative deal to end the strike.
So it's not signed and things yet, but it means they have suspended the strike until January 15th so that they can negotiate it properly. And get everything signed. But. This means the strike. Is ending. And people are going to be going back to work. Which. First of all. Good for the people on the strike. Because it seems like they have. A deal that they are happy with. Yeah. And second of all. Good for me. Because I was quite stressed about. As a person that manages shipping and operations. But yeah.
But of course. January the 15th. We'll probably have another Kickstarter. So. Let's hope the same thing doesn't happen in January.
Let me just enjoy the moment. Let me just enjoy the moment. And yes, we will have a shipment, but our other shipment could go around the West Coast instead.
Top tip, hair dyke is a multitude of grey hairs caused by stress on one leg.
Yes, but no, it's fine. And luckily, I mean, I told our supporters and everyone was like, yeah, fair enough, because I mean... What really can we as a tiny company do? Things like that. And like, you know, so many people. I think it was like three billion a day it was costing the economy. So like so many people were affected. Yeah. And apparently the two products that were panic bought most in America as a result of this was milk and toilet paper. And those are two products that are produced domestically and would not be. Yeah. would not be affected by the strike.
Certainly one of those I really, really... One would be annoying to run out of. One of them I really, really, really don't want to run out of.
