This week's guest is Lewis S, a teacher and more importantly, huge Souls fan. He encountered the series after a long hiatus from gaming, and on this episode he tells us about his journey through them, starting with watching LPs and eventually going out to buy a PS4 for a certain Sony exclusive.

Episode 145: Lewis S

Don't Give Up, Skeleton is a podcast inspired by one simple question: how did you get into the Souls games? Every week, Jeremy Greer interviews a guest about their own personal Souls story. Guests include a wide variety of people, both well known on the internet and completely unknown. Each episode is a bit different, with guests discussing what the games mean to them, whether it be a technical look into the inner workings, how NPC quest lines mirror personal relationships, fun and exciting lore stories, or lengthy discussions about the music in the games.

Hello skeletons! This week on the podcast, we are joined by Judson Cowan, who you might know if you've been following Souls stuff for awhile. Besides making some great videogame soundtracks (like Rogue Legacy 2), he's also the creator of Laudate Solis, the most perfect map of Dark Souls 1 that has ever existed. Until his new one comes out, anyway. We talk about his history with the games, the magic of making maps, and more. Enjoy!

Heya Skeletons! It's been awhile, but I'm back with another episode of DGUS Remastered, the series where I catch up with old guests from the podcast, and see what they're up to. Today it's Zach, the writer behind Lordran & Beyond, back to talk about his experiences in the last four years, as well as his Kickstarter project for collecting all of his webcomics into a physical book. Check out the links below! 

On a personal note, I just want to say that I hope all of you are doing ok in this whirlwind of a year. Stay safe, stay healthy, and stay skeletons.

Links:Lordran & Beyond 1st Edition Anthology by Zach Sharpe — Kickstarter — Nearly seven years ago, with aspirations of writing comics but no entry or foothold to establish myself, I launched Lordran & Beyond, the on-going Dark Souls web comic. For years on a monthly basis, I worked with various amazing artists to deliver chapters in a cumulative 25 different stories! Supporting us every step of the way have been the hundreds of amazing patrons on Patreon, and this partnership between creator, artist, and supporter resulted in over 300 comic pages of delicious, Soulsy material.Zach Sharpe (@cursedsirkai) / Twitter
