Story Time With Grampum Peepmpop is a very silly blend of pachinko and storytelling in which you play a slightly confused old man who has to remember stories and depart knowledge to his visiting grandchildren to keep them happy during a visit.

The green areas represent nice, family friendly words, while the red areas are more adult in nature. It’s up to you to aim for the green areas and tell wholesome and happy stories (you really don’t want to be talking about your wife vagina in-front of your grandkids!)

Given the news about the DS9 documentary, I checked the Twitter timelines of Ron Moore and Robert Hewitt Wolfe to see if they had any extra info. Neither one mentioned it. But Wolfe posted the interesting trivia above. The motto he wanted translates loosely as “don’t tread on me”.

Moore’s timeline is full of SF Giants posts. I didn’t know he was a big fan and he attends games while in SF. Moore wrote Take Me Out to the Holosuite and I now assume he specifically wanted Sisko to be wearing a Giants cap in that episode.

P.S. I’m certain many in fandom have seen the unofficial art work referenced by  Wolfe. But if you haven’t, here it is.

Listen I know everyone loves making Chewbacca a dog in modern AUs, but please consider as an alternative: Chewbacca, Han’s extremely hairy foreign friend with an accent so thick that only Han understands what he’s saying. They’ve been friends for years and never explain the circumstances of their meeting. He shows up to every family gathering and no one knows where he lives or where he came from. Everyone just accepts it.

This is so useful! I’m always racking my brains trying to figure out what sort of job random Elves or Men might’ve had in Beleriand.
