MONDAY April 30th at 7pm: THE CRUCIBLE OF TIME

THE CRUCIBLE OF TIME

- by John Brunner -

Far off in space is an alien race which is so much like us, yet so un-alike. From the birth of their earliest civilization through to their attainment of star flight as their star system passes through the galaxy, we follow their development through the ages.

Aquatic by nature, this race presents some significant challenges well outside the realms of anything encountered by humanity. But they are also driven by all too familiar hopes, fears, desires, needs, wants, prejudices, impact of religious ideologies, and the quest for knowledge we have experienced in the growth of our own civilization.

THURSDAY April 26th at 7pm: SIEGFRIED vs FAFNIR pt1

"Magic, curses, doom, and destruction"

SIEGFRIED vs FAFNIR

A young boy must slay Fafnir, a shape-shifting ogre who has transformed himself into a dragon Fafnir lives with his family in a fortress-like house deep in the forest. His father, descended from an archdemon, shares the secrets of the dark arts with Fafnir and his two brothers. Regnir, the eldest, is a deformed dwarf who lusts after gold and relies on his cunning to get it. Hungering only for food, Oter, the middle brother, can transform himself into a bird of prey. The shape-shifting Fafnir desires to be feared, and when Odin, king of the gods, sets a trap with a treasure that tempts every giant, ogre, and dwarf in his domain, Fafnir becomes a dragon. However, he is about to confront an even fiercer rival: a mortal named Siegfried. This adventure-filled Norse myth is a powerful story of magic, curses, doom, and destruction featuring an unlikely hero whose perils are only just beginning.

WEDNESDAY, April 18th at 7pm: MERLIN'S DRAGON Concludes

Faerie presents the exciting conclusion of on of T.A. Barron’s most thrilling adventures, featuring a new and unforgettable character in his earliest years, live in voice.

Long ago, at the dawn of Merlin’s world, a strange little creature named Basil appeared. Part lizard, part bat, his eyes glow with a mysterious light. When Basil discovers a threat to his world and to Merlin, he begins an epic journey that takes him from the Great Tree of Avalon to the outermost edges of the spirit realm. But his boldest journey will be to face his own deepest fears. And only if he survives can he save Merlin—and find his future.

TUESDAY, April 17th at 7PM; DOON Continues

Corwyn continues this hilarious epic National Lampoon parody  of Frank Herbert's sci-fi adventure, Live in voice.

We must take care that we do not ascribe undue importance
to chance in the affairs of men. Just as the human mind is a kind  of cause-and -effect generator, so is the unterdeterminancy of action and reaction in a concomitant force tending away from predictibility. Hence the ramifications , the fundimental because consciousness is similar like a big box, so you've got , say, an animal in this box.

FANTASY WARM-UP: 

A Taste of Pratchett

- Open your eyes and then open your eyes again -

Caledonia prepares us for our sojourn to Fantasy Faire this year with selections from

"The Wee Free Men"

A nightmarish danger threatens from the other side of reality. . . 

Armed with only a frying pan and her common sense, young witch-to-be Tiffany Aching must defend her home against the monsters of Fairyland. Luckily she has some very unusual help: the local Nac Mac Feegle—aka the Wee Free Men—a clan of fierce, sheep-stealing, sword-wielding, six-inch-high blue men.

Together they must face headless horsemen, ferocious grimhounds, terrifying dreams come true, and ultimately the sinister Queen of the Elves herself. . . .

Lady Jazzica introduced Pall. The Revved-Up Mother eyed him sourly. 

Damn that Jazzica! she thought. If only she had obeyed our command! We send her out for a pound of butter and she comes back pregnant !

"So this is our candidate for Kumkwat Haagendasz," the Revved-Up Mother mused. " What's your age, lad?"

"Fifteen, Ma'am."

"Pall,"Jazzica reprimanded. "You should call her Revved-Uppedness...."

"Never mind." the old woman snapped. "He can call me anything he wants."

" So long as he doesn't call me late for dinner," Pall completed the catechism.

The old woman's eye glinted amusement.

WEDNESDAY, April 4th at 7PM: MERLIN'S DRAGON Resumes

Faerie continues T.A. Barron’s most thrilling adventures, featuring a new and unforgettable character in his earliest years, live in voice.

In the years after Fincayra disappears and Merlin has been sent wandering, a young lizard-like creature, with the wings of a bat and the magical power to produce any smell it encounters, is born into the new world of Avalon. The unlikely hero—Basil, he is called—cannot find a single creature like itself nor a person who can tell him what he is. But it is clear that Basil is much more than he seems when he stumbles into an encounter with the great Merlin, saving his child’s life, then uncovers a secret plot by the evil Rhita Gawr. It’s a race against time and across Avalon as Basil, with the help of the faithful wind sister Ailah, searches for the great wizard to warn him.

Arruckus – men call it Doon, the dessert planet. It is a sugar covered wasteland entirely devoid of entrees, patrolled by a terrifying species of giant pretzel. This savage world is the setting for an apocalyptic drama between the evil Baron Hardchargin, and young Pall Agamemnides. These forces clash over Doon’s one precious resource, a substance found nowhere else in the Universe: the mind-altering liquid know as beer…
