In our first-ever live show, Ryan tries to persuade a boatful of explorers that he is a deity. Plus our live studio audience attempts to "bake a gun" in revolutionary France. If you were sent back in time you could persuade people of all sorts of things given your advanced knowledge of future events. But could you persuade them to worship you as a deity? This is the victory condition set out by GameMaster in today's episode of PastMaster.  It turns out GameMaster (powered once again by Claude) had some pretty specific ideas on what it takes to become a god. There were even progress graphs to prove it.  Setting sail with Christopher Columbus on the quest to discover the new world, Ryan planned to convince the crew of his godhood by being extremely stylish and telling everybody to wash their hands. Elsewhere, we unleashed our live studio audience on their very own play-through of PastMaster.  This episode was recorded Live at the Cheerful Earful Podcast festival.
