What's that coming over the hill
 is it a shoggoth?
is it a shoggooooth?

Our intro this week features the fantastically talented Philip Nightingale of Zombies Run fame!

Join us this week as we head to Lovecraft country!

Yes, we'll be doing some sightseeing in historic Arkham, quaint Dunwich, scenic Kingsport and friendly Innsmouth. At least that's what the tourist board told us...

Pandemic: Reign of Cthulhu is a 2-4 player coop from the legendary Z-Man games. It's a race against time! Slay cultists, close gates, and prevent the human race from sliding into annihilation and madness! No pressure then.

We're huge fans of Pandemic and Ed is really into his eldritch horror.  Surely this is a match made in heaven right? Find out as we get to grips with Cosmic Horror 101.

Intro/outro - 'Grandpa's Great Escape by TRG Banks

Well whaddya know?! Lauren finally cracked and played a game from Games Workshop!

If you're a fan of all that is grim and dark in the far future, this is definitely not one to miss!

Journey with us into the Blackstone Fortress, battling beasties, nasties, gribblies and hammer wielding post-humans...

It may be a coop, but your fellow adventurers are merely allies of convenience as you press forwards with your own agenda. Fight your way into the depths, discovering archeotech and  clues that may help to uncover the secret at the heart of the Blackstone Fortress.

Things get a little left field at the end as we bring you an action-packed experience, featuring Lauren 'on keys'. You're welcome.

You know nothin' John Snow!

Today is an episode full of both ice and fire.

Brace yourselves for backstabbing, red weddings, wildlings and strategic medieval warfare!

This is a competitive game for 3 - 6 players from one of Ed's favourites - Fantasy Flight Games!

Fans of the series will love this. Join us as we try our level best to introduce you to the mechanics of the game and to our experiences of duking it out in Westeros. Strictly no dragons allowed.

Will we remain firm allies and bosom buddies throughout the episode? Or will this descend into betrayal and bloodshed? Listen and find out!
