Read It Again is a family business. Opened in 2002 by mother and daughter team Della and Kim McNamara. Read It Again, just like any other family, is all about the people who fill it. Our staff is part of our family. Many of our employees have been with us since the beginning. We’ve watched the teenagers we’ve hired grow up and start their own families. We know our customers by name and by what they read. Our connection with our customers is our favorite part of our store, it might even be more important than the books! When people walk in the door we want everyone to feel like they are coming home. Read It Again is a NEW and USED bookstore located in Johns Creek, GA. We also carry a charming selection of gifts, cards and novelties. We pride ourselves on our customer service. Our staff is competent, friendly, and very well read. We hold monthly book clubs, game nights, poetry nights and often act as a community venue. If you're in the area you should come on by!
I just finished listening to The Cabin on Souder Hill ! I was so glad to find this interview! I loved the book and now I’m going to check out his other books.
Hey! I haven’t watched this whole video, but aren’t there similarities between Lies of Descent and Game of Thrones (like the Doth Draegorans and the Dothraki)? Surprised I haven’t seen anything
If you want to write, get this book. It's like brainstorming your story with a group of the smartest writers around. And they take the time to teach you to be a smart writer, too.
HOLY MOLY I just finished reading this book and immediately came to watch this video and I was so happy when Amal cited Doctor Who as an influence because I've been a huge fan of Doctor Who since I was 13, and parts of this book reminded me of the Master and the Doctor's relationship. I was even more shocked when she brought up Homestuck, Homestuck is literally also my absolute biggest influence when it comes to storytelling, and I am usually too embarrassed to admit that out of fear of internet bullies. Seeing one of the authors of such an amazing book credit Homestuck is insane and awesome ❤❤❤
T&T was my first RPG. I loved the solo aspect of the game, but the small amount of ready made published group adventures always steered me to that "other" game to play with friends because there was so much to choose from for group play. That said, I still have all my T&T games from the 70's & 80's, but that "other" game has disappeared over the years.
My spark bird is the Barn Swallow. I first saw them while at summer camp on Lake Huron in Port Sanilac, MI. Julia's book is a very enjoyable read. It brought many knowing nods of approval, moments of joy and laughter, and also those moments where you go on a great walk and find few birds. Great book, Julia.
I missed the live interview. I was out chasing birds. I dipped on a Hoary Redpoll and Common Redpolls. I did get a first of the spring Turkey Vulture, and a Horned Lark.
A fun trackback to odd74.proboards.com/thread/14418/first-rpg where they discuss Ken's claim that T&T is the first RPG, and not "that other game" (Dungeons & Dragons).
I enjoyed the reading! I wish I could have seen the interview "live" to choose my own adventure. I, too, read CYOA books when I was a kid. I can remember reading and re-reading them hoping to get the "right" or "best" ending. Usually, I ended up dying a horrible death by dragons or ghosts or falling rocks!
It was great chatting with Kim at Read It Again Books. A couple of clarifications: In A Lesson Before Dying, the condemned man's godmother, not his aunt, enlists the aid of the school teacher. The term "madwoman in the attic" comprises the title of a book by Sandra Gilbert and Susan Gubar.
Hello, Denise!! My name is Lora, and I am a direct descendant of Lady Temperance Flowerdew. She was my 10th great-grandmother, on my father's side. Oddly enough, I had only found out about her, for the first time, yesterday, and I have had this screen name, on the web, for almost 20 years!! You can imagine my surprise. Lol :) I do hope you will forgive the truncation, of my correspondence, for now, as I had just lost my sister, only two days ago. I would, however, enjoy further exchange, at your leisure. Do take care, and be well!! - Lora.
Power Trip is going to be great. T&T is super adaptable. I'm on the verge of taking my current adventure set in a fantasy realm through a time portal and in to a Warhammer 40K type realm.
I enjoyed the interview! A few comments.... First, I've been playing T&T recently with my 8 year old daughter. I'm using the Solo Adventure "When the Cat's Away..." and running it like a GM adventure for her (I read the paragraphs, adjudicate the rules, and "play" the NPC's). She's having a lot of fun exploring the Wizard's Keep with her Fairy named Elephant "Ellie" Sparklepants. I've also collected a large number of Solos for future games.... :) I'm also planning to start teaching Junior High kids at the game club I volunteer with... I've seen them play 5E (poorly) and I think that the mechanics heavy nature of 5E might be detracting from their fun...I think T&T would be a perfect fit. Last comment...can someone post a link to Steve or Ken or whoever is going to kick off the Supers Kickstarter so we can follow them? If we follow them, we get notified when their projects start. Thanks!
That's an awesome story about your daughter and your Jr. High kids! Yes, definitely, if Ken and/or Steve start a fundraiser we will get the word out. No indication yet that this is going to be the case.
Love that character name! I'd recommend the T&T Adventures Japan book as it includes a 14 page version of the T&T rules and a manga comic that explains how it works. Thanks you running the game for a new generation of players!
During the interview Ken and I make an exciting announcement about a new exciting RPG rulebook project we are working on! THis has not been announced anywhere else and is an exclusive! Find out what it is!
