Museum of Future 9/11s

We go back into the whimsical world of flying cars, and Dubai’s plan to make them largely mandatory by 2026. Also - Riley invents a historical Euro-board game called Shadow Doge, ordinary Americans are given formal permission by the President to get their skin reversed by cartels, and fraud is legal again the world over.

the healthiest reaction to seeing the characters 9,/,1 & 1.

drednorzt

in a weird brain moment, I read the title of this episode as containing a fraction, ie "museum of future nine elevenths." I guess that means I forgot.

d'egg

I live in Dubai, and cannot justify it or myself. Everything you say about it is true.

Matthew Petty

I'm not even Canadian and I know the lyrics to Barrett's Privateers. This means Canada must grant me asylum I believe.

Shadow Doge sounds very much like Mistborn: House War, but, so, so much better and longer

Chuck Finnley

nova dropping her bg knowledge during this segment is a real parasocial challenge

DB

In Shadow Doge can we play as the Avignon Popes?

Tezzy Pup

Riley's idea of "Shadow Doge" is just describing how Merchant Republics work in Crusader Kings lol

Hazel Rafter

I propose that gendered competitive sports are inherently a discriminatory product of a hierarchical society. In the USA (and most of the world) the practice of sport as a capitalist experience is a major arm of the patriarchy. Sport is not war, nor business. We have wrought an abomination.

Joshua Hamilton

Yay Stan Rogers reference finally! Also "couldn't Folker cause they wasn't feeling that Dinglemass."

Mark Schwagner

I'm so glad you guys discovered PAL-V. I saw a billboard for them on the highway near Schiphol last year and immediately thought that a Dutch flying car was straight out of a TF bit.

Matthew Daniels

This episode was brought to you by Raid: Shadow Doge.

Well now I feel stupid AND like a piece of shit, I genuinely didn’t know there were books out at the time. Excuse me while I go eat some shoe

Saaaame. Our aunts took me and my sister to the theatrical re-releases, and I got heavy into the novels. I was at Courtship of Princess Leia, and the Thrawn novels basically as soon as I could get adult books out on my own recognizance.

Shadow Doge sounds a lot like John Company

Fake boardgame T-shirt plz thx

I'm counteracting positive energy by saying November makes me feel bad because I don't know stuff about literally everything.

The cocaine energy off Riley inventing a board game 😂

So what this conservation is telling me is that in a hundred years there’s a real risk of animated musical where Musk is an undead wizard trying to find and kill Don Jr’s kid

John Leavitt

Listening to Riley reinvent "Republic of Rome" from first principles was a trip.

Jon W

The only song vesides the national anthem that I know the words for is Barrett's Privateers. It's a type of guy, who also likes Trashfuture.

Mallard Reactionary

F1 door gunner patch is merch I would buy immediately

Sneakyfins

For November specifically: You helped me change myself in a way I thought was impossible, if things breakdown to the point I am no longer within the range of your voice I wanted to thank you personally for everything you've done and will continue to do. Our voices reach the people who need to hear them, somehow.

Platinum, Queen of Dread

As a Canadian who is into boardgames, this episode is activating me like I'm the Winter Soldier.

James Rule

Suddenly very aware of this episode’s title as I play it on a plane

Kalan Birnie

There beter be a series of Codexes for each Shadow Doge family / faction, with an eye watering amount of lore.

Oliver Cant

It's always great to hear the people who waste hundreds of millions of dollars on some startup bullshit to tell you that people are living beyond their means and not working hard enough.

Insom

I'm afraid, wealthy venetian families trying to influence the vote for doge has already been done. https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/854/doge

kalifschorsch

A lot of people couldn't watch the films on TV or VHS but could borrow the books from the library or get them cheap secondhand

my decently younger ex got this in a parental xmas stocking ten years ago (i never read it but this doesn’t surprise me)

Shivvy

i appreciate being motivated by spite but it’s lame the way he does it

Shivvy

my time has come at last

Shivvy

oh hey A friend of mine is a really talented board game designer even though she's mostly doing this as a hobby right now. My best friend's bf is a graphic designer for Asmodee, and collects and also designs board games (one of his favourites is Scythe which you could definitely take as a base to build Shadow Doge on top of). I'd happily give you their contacts

Ilian Petit

I've only ever eaten poutine in the summer, so who's up for mall ratting in Dubai?

Andrew Davis

Some of us read EU fiction before the prequels came out, THANK YOU.

Andrew Davis

Not only do I know the song, I was one of Barret's crew. It was Me and Red who had the job of reinforcing the cracked 12 pounder gun barrels with duct tape. Good old Red, he wasn't handsome, but he sure was handy. Which was especially important after the first broadside cut both mine off at the wrists.

spaced_out_armour

I would play the ever-loving shit out of Shadow Doge.

Brian Taulbee

Playing a dingo mancer in shadow doge is the real meta

Elek Tolman

I remember the survival books

FBH

haven’t checked the comments but in real time, not enough love for Milo’s ‘hold me closer’ aside #dingomancer

Shivvy

Trash future the boardgame is turnip28. In my mind anyway. Maybe its scabs.

Paul Dewsnip

I am so deep in fhe pod meta i’m wondering if i made up a WTYP episode on the flying ford pinto. Which didn’t.

I’m an amateur bookbinder and I would absolutely hand bind the shadow doge manual & expansion manual & expansion of the expansion manual with period-correct materials if that was a thing

Eva

Looking forward to your boardgame developer rivalry with TrueAnon

bourgeois aggreivement is what powers fascism

Riley I am a game designer working on historical games specifically. I am extremely willing to help you make Shadow Doge. By way of portfolio, I am currently finishing my master's thesis, a deckbuilder based on the Bronze Age Collapse. https://bsky.app/profile/vogontheater.bsky.social Would love to help out, let me know!

Zues and Hermes arrive that the Trashfuture studio, are turned away by every podcaster but the TF crew, treat Reilly to the best wine he's ever had, put gum in the gum tray, and then turn the whole place to dust.

Alistair SM J

If y'all haven't seen Redline (2009), you're in for a treat! Our hero races a transam through the anime version of the enganced games racing. One of my favorite movies.

Aaron Epstein

Trashfuture Monopoly when? Filled with the usual tech pessimism on every property and card.

Alistair SM J

You cannot convince me that "PAL V Liberty" isn't the name of a Qassam brigades rocket.

Alex Hennessey

Adding to the chorus of yes to Shadow Doge. I'm not a professional designer but I'd be happy to be involved in play testing / write a few bits if it gets to that stage. In my mind it could take something from John Company and work in the bits about the financialisation of renaissance Italy from the Borgias No Gods No Mayors episode.

Michael S

Can we use the cartel law to finally crush the Quebecois maple syrup cartel?

Joshua G

I’m not talking sh*t, she’s literally my favorite podcaster

Anthony Pugliese

How did Nova somehow *read* the name “Coruscant” before she *heard* the name “Coruscant”

Anthony Pugliese

I found a photo I took of it, it was called "The Complete Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook" by Joshua Piven and David Borgenicht. I have shitty phone camera scans of the text if anyone's curious how bad it was. The "How to determine the gender of your date" chapter was right after the "How to tell if your date is an axe murderer" one. There were also sections on how to date three people at once (and not in a poly way) and how to spot breast implants.

Nova Zicko

it's played at a 1 to 1 timescale so you have to have actual children to take your place in the game in case you don't outlive the Doge.

jamin

I had "The Worst Case Scenario Survival Guide" and it had a chapter on how to tell if your date is secretly a man

Nova Zicko

Not to mention the fact that if it happens there's a pretty high chance of musk getting into a twitter argument with the trashfuture hosts and I'd love for him to get publicly flogged like that.

kiwi

That's a pretty accurate summary of his entire life. Dude let's everything that's ever slighted him pilot his brain.

kiwi

I would like to sign up for an alert when the Shadow Doge Kickstarter launches

Finn Ahern

Riley invented the board game Harry can play with Kim in Disco Elysium

Noblesse Oblahaj

Wait. Elon wanted to call PayPal X, but everyone said that was dumb, then they fired him. So he bought Twitter, renamed it X, and is now turning it into PayPal. This whole thing has been about a 20 year old grudge that a bald divorced idiot can't let go

Noblesse Oblahaj

Haha! November and I convergently conceived of the XÆ A-12 SAPI plate bit. I dropped that in the work slack and it got fucking nothing, but I'm totally unappreciated in my time, so that's not surprising. (Is convergent evolution of bits anything?)

Yeah, and we’re not even gonna get a clean “ending.” Apocalypticism is just a perverse kind of optimism

No more of this disgusting flesh

Very flattering to be mentioned, but I just extended things I learned from left on read

Give me your @ on twitter or bsky - November and I are genuinely interested in designing Shadow Doge.

Riley's description of Shadow Doge sounds... disturbingly plausible. I love it! 😆

Lydia Scribe

what if the mesoamerican ball game was a boardgame

jacob BL Baldwin

Viticulture mentioned!

Colin English

and it's expansion pack, the Mesoamerican Boardgame

Ijon Tichy

Yeees we need the trashfuture boardgame

HappyJa

Riley - I'm a game designer at a traditional games studio and also a freelance game designer. Legitimately hit me up about shadow doge, this sounds like a lot of fun

Evie Moriarty

the US government encouraging the creation of private military formations within its own borders? why, might the colonial violence perchance be returning to the metropole?

marilyn

i went to university in sackville new brunswick and riley talking about screaming barrett’s privateers blackout drunk caused me to have potentially the most vivid flashback of my life

If Riley does a board game please add it to the BGG. (sorry, you triggered my special interest there)
