For the next few episodes we'll take you into the world of tabletop gaming as the world Kingdoms and Clashes tournament descends upon our very own Eagle's Lodge. This installment: we break down Kingdoms and Clashes itself: what's the game and what is its rules? 

These Are The People

#14: Tournament Part 1: The Game

This week on These Are The People: the jalapeno pep pepper menace. Is it real? Join us as we investigate a landmark court case rocking the halls of justice like to many cousins Vinny.

#13: Peps

Ancient Dutch tradition means a lot in our great city. Ever since our ancestors came here, lured by the moderate fortune promised by the Coal Rush, we’ve held to the tradition of placing wishing jars on our stoops around C*****mas time. This year, someone stomped on that tradition. Or at least knocked it askew thoughtlessly. After a lengthy personhunt, a culprit has been pinned. Join us here, on the eve of the ruling that may put a child behind bars for 20 years, as we investigate: The Jar Tipper.

#12: The Jar Tipper

When there's something you want but know you can't possibly obtain, like a Red Ryder BB gun, or actual democracy in America, you wish for it. This month on These Are The People, we tackle wishing, talking to several T******ians united by one thing: they made a wish on a well, and it came true. Or did it? It did. The wishes came true, and we're reporting on them. Enjoy!

#11: Wishing Well

The following is a legally-obligated public service announcement from *PR on the dangers of fireworks.

#10: Fireworks: the Hidden Menace

Progress takes different forms. There's progressive rock and/or roll. Progressive insurance (not a sponsor). Today, we look at bad progress: gentrification. You may have seen them popping up here and there around the nation: cool cities. You might even live in a cool city right now. Maybe your city is becoming a cool city. Maybe you don't like it. What we call it when we don't like it is gentrification. That's what's happening to T****lvania right now, in our Tin Shed District. We decided to investigate whether or not T****lvania should be a cool city. Join us this week (won't you)?

#9: Gentrification

This month, These are the People slows down and turns the focus on ourselves. Specifically, on the studio pet, a cat we found in the crawlspace named Percy. Recently, Percy’s been acting strangely, and has taken on a surly countenance. Unable to find a medical diagnosis for “stinkin’ thinkin’” from a medicine doctor, we reached out to some of ****sylvania’s foremost pet psychics. Join us, won’t you?
