We play a lot of games, and watch a lot of media. And sometimes, we wonder why a particular franchise that seems ripe for a game has NOTHING. And of course, there are the perfectly good games that have fallen into obscurity and could use a reboot. So let's talk about some of them- from Crimson Skies and AT-43 to Pokémon and Stargate, Grand Theft Auto and Dinotopia.

In this episode we do a little trolling. About trolls. A staple of fantasy, and derived from Scandinavian mythology and folklore, there's a lot to be said about trolls. So we talk about them for a while.

The Dungeons and Dragons movie just came out. It's good! But it wasn't the first film to bear the title. If you've ever wondered about the D&D movie from 2000, here's your chance to learn about it without having to sit though some god-awful fantasy schlock.

Sing muse, of the monsters of Greek mythology! From the deadly minotaur to the poisonous hydra, we look at classic Greek monsters who have been translated into Dungeons and Dragons.

Imperial troops have entered the podcast! Imperial troops have entered the -gzrk!

Today we're talking about the tabletop wargame, Star Wars Legion, published by Fantasy Flight Games and then Atomic Mass Games. If you want a fun, mechanically competent tabletop game with solid miniatures, and you like Star Wars, you're probably already playing this.

Episode 69. Nice.

We use the special number as an excuse to talk about Succubus and Incubus, the folklore demons of sexy-times, and how they have been presented and used in modern roleplaying games and wargames. It's not a great look for games, honestly.

Great Scott! This episode appears to have traveled forward in time! Perhaps it's because we're talking about time travel, and how everyone's favorite way of causing paradoxes has been implemented in TTRPGs, board games, and very occasionally wargames.

It's slime time! Join us as we discuss slimes from the delicious sounding but terrible tasting black pudding to the equally foul tasting ochre jelly and the Gelatinous Cube, the cube that eats you!(TM).

Chess! En Passant! Checkmate! Castling! Horsies! It's time to talk about chess, the classic abstract strategy game. Originally from India, but adapted heavily into what we know today. Also we really don't play enough chess to be experts in the game, but when has that ever stopped us! Execute order 66!

The king of the undead! It's time to talk about liches, the classic wizard turned evil dead monster. With their phylactery, forbidden magical knowledge, insane paranoia, and all the other goodies, they provide an important high level foe for classic dungeons and dragons players. Also, they are going to eat your soul.
