Mythology has been part of games since, well, almost always. It especially comes into play in TTRPGs (tabletop role-playing games) and LARPs (live-action role-playing). At Gen Con 2026, I met game creators who take mythology in their games extremely seriously, making sure they're culturally respectful while ensuring players have a great time.

These interview teasers are to share these gents' games and studios, as well as any upcoming events. So hopefully you all can join me in supporting them, and maybe you'll even run into them at a gaming convention, and you can tell them I said hi.

Part 2 of my Historical commentary

We not only dive deep into the travel montage and the details of the flashbacks, but also get a bit nitpicky about real facts that contradict the logic of the movie and the story being told. Hope we can have a few laughs along the way.

Sequels go harder than the originals. Would that make them more or less accurate? It certainly makes them more of an experience to dive into. Watch to experience a magical world of Egypt in 1933 and join us as we sort through the fiction and non.

“Impudence.” - Ba’al

“No tuna.” - Jack

Stargate wasn’t the first to mess around with Ba’al’s characterization. Follow the storm-god from his ancient Near Eastern origins through his later demonization, then compare that long religious history with Stargate SG‑1’s Goa’uld Baʿal to explore how symbols of godhood are built before being torn down.

Inspiration continues to come from anywhere. It wasn’t just during the turn of the century that L’Art Antique, or the art of the classical/antique world [Egypt, Greece, Rome], was finding its way into so many facets of our aesthetics.
