ABOUT THE SHOW
Hosted by Rob Biehn, author of The First Stone, and his wife Steph, co-world creator.
How the night goes
- Bring your tea and your favorite mug, thermos, or other vessel. (Yes, coffee will be tolerated.)
- Catch up on what went on in Exousia this week, and tell us what you think of new ideas, upcoming projects, and teasers.
- Rob reads a brand new National Chronicle article live. It's the newspaper from inside the world of The First Stone.
- Then Steph, Rob, and you work through the "what would you do?" questions it raises.
Articles we've debated
Would you hire someone with powers if it cost your crew their jobs?
Should people with powers be forced to help in emergencies?
Should the government pass a law to force Ignarus Myths to donate their blood because it can heal people?
"Top tier experience that just keeps getting better & better."

Which faction will claim you?
Grafter CorpsMetal. Merit. Might.Verillium scales grafted into the skin, Myth blood fused into the metal. The Arbiter's enforceable will, ranked Copper to Platinum by discipline and blood.
The EyrieOrder through revelation.The Prism Spire's sharpest edge. Wrens and Ravens track Nightmares, hunt Cadence Myths, and root out the corruption festering inside the regime's own ranks.
Bellevar AcademyPurpose before power.On Sanctorum Island, Myths and humans train side by side, free of Grafters and the Pax Serum that erases power. The last fragile peace in the world.
The Dark StarDoubt before devotion.It fights by breaking the mind where lies have settled. While the others serve, obey, or observe, the Dark Star uncovers what the world was told to forget.
