Dave WarnekeHOST
Hmm.
Dave WarnekeHOST
Hitler ran for president of Germany in 1932, running against the incumbent President Paul von Hindenburg, who had led the German army during World War I and is also the namesake of the Hindenburg airships.
Dave WarnekeHOST
Paul von Hindenburg actually won the election, but Hitler got a large percentage of votes and established himself as a major political player.
Dave WarnekeHOST
So, in just a few years, he's gone from this radical guy who tried to overthrow the government to being one of the most well-known political identities in the country.
Dave WarnekeHOST
Although Hindenburg was ideologically opposed to Nazism, the country did not have a majority government and Hindenburg was reluctantly persuaded to appoint Hitler as Chancellor of Germany.
Dave WarnekeHOST
Because he's leader of the Nazi party, they've got a big percentage of the parliament, let's bring them on board.
Dave WarnekeHOST
And on taking office, Hitler immediately began accumulating power and changing the nature of the chancellorship.
Dave WarnekeHOST
So because of the Reichstag fire, the parliament enabled or passed the Enabling Act, giving the Chancellor full legislative powers for a period of four years, sort of like sort of martial law type stuff.
AlexHOST
It's not maybe quite as heavy as it would be in other more dedicated lists.
AlexHOST
But what do you think about a place with a goblin airship in here with the amount of energy you can give out?
IainHOST
I like the idea.
IainHOST
I kind of think with the Goblin airship that I then want stilts in.
AlexHOST
Because it's an animal.
IainHOST
Well, it's, it's, it's the animal thing.

Spring 1896, 1897,
Nathan RadkeGUEST
what happens? 1896, it starts.
Nathan RadkeGUEST
But people were like, wait, I can still see this weird dark shape behind the lights.
Nathan RadkeGUEST
And then within a few weeks, reports in the newspaper get more vivid and bizarre.
Nathan RadkeGUEST
When I say bizarre, one man in the papers claimed that he had come across a landed airship and it had been crewed by seven foot tall Martians who then tried to abduct him.
Nathan RadkeGUEST
But he was too strong for them in that kind of turn of the century way that people were strong.
David CooperHOST
I don't know why you got it wrong.

DavidHOST
That's the game they compared to Minecraft, but there's absolutely no fucking enemy, so I don't know how you compare a game like that.
DavidHOST
Sky Island and Airships, is it the better version of Solar Punk's idea or a completely different game? Don't know.
