This week, I explore Dungeons and Dragons. In preparation for a mini-series through February, where Maff and I take a bit of a deeper dive into how Dungeons and Dragons works, I take a peek at the very basics.
If you're looking for a first look at gameplay and dice or if you've always wondered exactly how it all works, this will have you covered.

Look out for deeper conversations coming in the following weeks looking at races, classes, abilities and much more.

In this episode, we hear from the 20th Century Geek, Scott Weatherly to answer 'who is Judge Dredd?'

First appearing in 2000AD issue #2 all the way back in 1977, Judge Dredd is an icon within comic books. Created by John Wagner, Carlos Ezquerra and Pat Mills, Judge Dredd's adventures in Mega City One range from the bonkers to the ridiculous, passing through the absolute nuts. The hardcore fans are here for every minute of it, including Scott! He shares with us his love of the character, the stories and 2000AD in general, whilst also giving us a background and grounding of who this character is.

Be sure to listen, there's something here for everybody.

In this episode, we're joined by Matt B Lloyd, to answer the question 'Who is Mr Terrific?'.

First appearing for DC Comics in 1942, Mr Terrific is actually two different characters, with the second appearing in 1997. Both found their way to crimefighting in unexpected ways but quickly grew into the role. Terry Sloane, then Michael Holt, are both non-super-powered characters trying to do their best for their communities. 
With a possible TV show in the works, this is definitely worth a listen!

In this episode, we're joined by Matt B Lloyd to discuss the TV show 'Inspector Morse'.

Airing between 1987 and 2000, Inspector Morse is a British TV classic. Following the titular character as he investigates crime as a member of the Thames Valley Police, each feature-length episode covered a lot of ground. Part detective show, part character-led drama, the show has many layers which appeal to a wide range of people.

Mat explores some of these layers, looking at the ones that appealed directly to him, while also explaining more about the show as a whole.
