Show notes: 

1. Thewgosh was inspired partly by reading Thongor Against the Gods by Lin Carter. I counted at least six instances where he described the hero or some other character as “naked save for” a harness or loincloth or whatever. 

2. Thewgosh introduces himself with descriptors like Thewgosh the Wanderer, Thewgosh the Freebooter, Thewgosh the Usurper. These are all descriptors from titles of books about another sword and sorcery hero you may be familiar with. 

3. The name of the wizard “Chay-esh” is derived from Cheech Wizard, the comic character by Vaughn Bode. Yes, this is how I come up with most of my D&D and ttrpg character names.

4. Charlton Heston voice: It’s chopped liver! Choplivria is made of chopped liver!
