My speculation is that it is such a jolt to his senses and thoughts that seeing things from different worldviews and as different personalities is part of that chemical mix. I'll ask him.

@@stephenclements6158 Thank you, I would be interested in him elaborating on it! Good work!

Great question, and maybe the hardest to explain that I've ever been asked! First, I do not recommend or endorse illegal substances, and can only speak for myself! Having one's soul delaminated and peeled away from the mortal plane of reality creates a weird multi-faceted separation between the "Conscious Self" that experiences life, the "Personality" of established behavioral patterns and character-defining traits, and "The Body" that actively responds and engages with the world surrounding. If the DMT user can pay attention and keep their shit together (Which can be practiced!) this separation can allow the user to observe and custom tailor these different pieces of the whole individually from one another, as an Engine, a Steering Wheel, and a Driver. The experience itself is animated and interactive (tied with Salvia Divinorum for being the most visually intensive thing in the universe), granting visionary states that I doubt anyone could conceive on their own, “gifting” unique ideas and mental artifacts from beyond. In its own realm, this playful animated spirit shows examples through visions and encourages the visitor to experiment with modifying or completely reconstructing these separate facets of oneself, granting a spiritual permission slip to evaluate and change the character you have become in waking life. This experience dissolves the boundaries and resistances of how the user views the person they could potentially become, whilst fortifying the spiritual resolve to make such ambitious changes happen, but it will NEVER do the hard work for you. It shows you the blueprints on how to drastically change your life, separated from your own bullshit and preconceived notions of yourself/existence, and reaffirms that you already have all the tools necessary to do exactly that. This sounds like an emotional feeling, but more so resembles a learned skillset applicable to myriad situations and ideas. “Seek and ye shall find” Hope this crazy answer helps!

@@Thewonkee Absolutely. I would pretty much equate that with Steph's "perspective shift" he had when he encountered cannabis. I totally get it. Thanks for taking the time to answer. Also, Steph: In the video you speculated Terence would very much agree with the notion that a person who consumes mushrooms makes a contribution to the experience for all others who consume it afterwards, but it was just you speculating. I am happy to inform you that he does indeed talk about this at length in many lectures, so I can confirm. He used to say "when you take mushrooms, the mushrooms take you." What you bring to that will now be in the "morphogenetic field" of the experience from that moment onward. Keep up the good work guys.

@@mattduff5067 thanks, dude!

Thank you for watching! This was such a fun talk, I'm very glad to hear we did not disappoint :) <3

Sorry to hear that!

Good points, but how did you make the eggs? Don't leave me hanging here. I'm either fried hard with salt and pepper or scrambled with cheese.

Very interesting way of thinking about it, im going to roll that around in my head for a while! Appreciate the thoughtful comment man, you rock! :)

@@BillyRamirez oh my God, a pawttorney! Charges dropped, case dismissed.

With only 1 sentence, you dropped a lot of interesting topics. I'll look up Gottlieb's writing you mentioned.

there's no amount of money I would accept to enter the state of Colorado. If I was on a plane that was redirected to DIA I would jump out. I no longer fly though...

Oh my! What do you have against Colorado?! I mean besides it being a commie heckhole.

Hahaha, mom has good taste! It's hard to not admire a movie SO COMMITTED to its premise. It delivers everything a movie so titled promises. Thanks for sharing.

@@mibi5738 thank you, king.

Haha, poor guy.

You should!

Agreed on many counts. The "thanks Obama" is a play in the Internet meme where you jokingly blame Obama for everything, no matter how silly. You add a valuable perspective on the topic of role-playing to the conversation. How can one portray a character one does not truly understand, to really do them justice? A valid point, one I've used in the past when it came to the game Demon: the Fallen. White Wolf put out a number of monster games, but Vampires, Werewolves, etc were at least partially human, so I could try to relate. But a demon who was never human, was eternal, and completely alien to me? No, I didn't think I could do them justice. So good point. And on conspiracies, true. People conspire with each other all the time, and just because something is called a conspiracy doesn't mean it isn't true. I keep hearing it was the CIA after they (possibly) assassinated Kennedy that pushed the narrative that conspiracy theories are all bunk. That's pretty rich coming from an agency whose job is to commit conspiracies. Thanks for the food for thought!

@@stephenclements6158 I enjoy your videos immensely, as I am also a fan of big brain activities. So you keep uploading them and I'll keep watching them.

@@user-cx7kg6ok9b thanks, man!

Thank you!

>spits coffee out Bahaha

Good point, civies be sloppy. And especially in games that demand so much physical bravery from the characters, if the player has never had to face physical danger, they're not going to do an adventurer justice. If a PC even makes it to 5th level, the amount of harrowing shit they had to grow through would make most people pass out just imagining!

Agreed. Earlier editions of Dungeons & Dragons were designed to be team sports. No one player could do it all on their own, they needed each other. Sure you can play a TTRPG like it's a solo video game, but it's going to be stale, because the spontaneity and real magic that you get out of TTRPGs comes from the group dynamic bringing the element of surprise. It's those awesome moments you didn't see coming that create memories for all involved, not carefully controlled spotlight seeking.

Children yearn for the spitoons! Two great actors facing off, so good.

In all my Kolchak research, the remake never came up! It must have been some brilliant work. 💩 For completionist sake, I may put myself through it. Thanks for the tip!

@@stephenclements6158 Here's the wikipedia entry. If it interests you, you can probably find links from here to more information. I enjoy your videos, so thanks. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolchak%3A_The_Night_Stalker#2005_television_series It seems as though there are also at least some episodes on youtube. ua-cam.com/video/WYl7_-N5hZM/v-deo.html

Baaaaahahaha, now I want to see him in that suit, too! I'll ask those questions and work them into a future episode. It will take a while for that to show up, since we've recorded 6 more already.

Thank you, sir! I'd love to hear any memories you care to share.

Thanks! And he's just getting warmed up this episode, more energy to come!

In talking to him for hours now, I haven't seen any evidence of that.

Incorrect. Nice opportunity for a defamation suit for spreading incorrect information.

+10 points for alliterative creativity!

Heck yes, you did! All those are great material, good on you.

@@stephenclements6158 Thanks.

Now I haven't seen the acronyms LARs and LEW before. If you don't mind spelling them out, I might be able to ask about them.

@@stephenclements6158 Lejendary AsteRogues and Lejendary Elder Worlds. Both were complete. LEW was just EW before LA and I'm not sure the original system offhand.

@@Susrek if I can find out anything, I'll post it back here.

So AsteRogues does exist, it was written, but Chris doesn't know who has it. He didn't remember Elder Worlds, but he does remember the Lejendary Earth books. All but Jewels of the East came out, and Jewels is unpublished. The problem is the rights to it are encumbered by the Gygax estate. Otherwise, he would publish it.

Maaaan, you made my day! Thanks!

Your English was very good, and thanks for your additions. You know, it is not too late to play it today!

@@stephenclements6158 I never played it through in one go, but my (many) players over the years played about everything in that adventure. I forgot about the Chimera-gorgon... will have to add that again!

Thank you!

Awesome. 🤩 What's your favorite part?

@@stephenclements6158 I got a kick out of the sewers leading into different parts of the city where the players I was refereeing for came up in the palace. They totally bypassed a lot of the events about the factions trying to overthrow each other. As for the detail of the module, I personally liked how detailed the town was and the map. I generated a lot of commoner NPCs to flush out the other buildings. The whole of the town is now part of my game world.

@@stephenclements6158 I liked how they detailed where the various sewer caps were at. My players stayed in the sewers and checked each to see if they could find a place to climb out without being seen. They entered the palace behind the palm trees... ...and proceeded to stealthily take out the brigands one by one. Murder-hobo'd the whole place, then took their time finding the cup. They decided to venture out into the town looking for the rest of the brigands and ended up fighting the Mad Dog and his band in the streets. For me, the detail of the town was my favorite...provided many ideas about how to set up a town. I spent some time adding NPCs to the un-detailed buildings and it's a town that's a permanent part of my game world.

I loved reading all that. You definitely made the most of it! While this adventure is in a generic setting, I would love to explore and flesh out this region and the distant lands mentioned.
