  • Dungeons & Dragons Lore - The Manshoon Wars

    Lore Boys are back, and Ethan's hosting, which means we're talking about Dungeons and Dragons, of course! This episode has all the juicy D&D items you care about: beholders, dancing swords, the Harpers, wizards, Manshoon, necromancy, betrayal, and more. We're talking the lore of Manshoon, one of D&D's earliest recurring characters, and his exploits leading up to the Manshoon Wars.


    Jamie's away in Katowice for IEM this week, but Ethan and Peter hold down the fort with the quality lore and goofs we've come to expect from ourselves. Ethan explores an ancient barrow looking for an adjective, and Peter blows his hand off while trying to run for city council.

  • Lord of the Rings Lore - The Ainulindalë

    Well here it is: a late submission for likely our most important episode to date. The Lore Boys are talking about the Lord of the Rings creation myth. That's Illuvatar, the Ainu, the Valar, Gandalf, Balrogs, Sauron, Melkor, and more. Who is the God of Pouring? Of course we try and pepper in a few good goofs but in this illustrious episode tackling one of the most important pieces of fiction of the last century we try and give it to you as completely as possible.


    We ask if Legolas eats ass, we find out who makes a better Doorf than a window, and we cover Jamie in jelly and dog hair.

  • Transformers Lore Part 1: Primus and His Primes

    Lore Boys are back, this time with everyone's favorite toy-cum-cartoon: Transformers! That's right, the robots in disguise, at least their prehistory, is today's topic. We're talking before the Autobots, before the Decepticons, when all we had were two cousin planets named Unicron and Primus. They may get imprisoned in alternate dimensions which block their FM signals, but not for long! These two get BUSY.


    This week we answer what happens when you have a car full of bees and a bird lands on it. Peter activates his Matrix of Leadership, Jamie counts prime numbers, and Ethan claims godhood.

    The Lore Boys are just about ready to wrap up Sigmar's story with the Age of Sigmar. Hop on board the lore train as we speed towards the conical planets of the Eight Mortal Realms. We take our story from the End Times of Warhammer Fantasy Battle and explain how we end up in the Age of Myth, through the Age of Chaos, and finally into the Age of Sigmar.


    On this episode, Ethan leans about magnets, Peter goes fishing, and Jamie bans singing. We talk about everyone's favorite two-headed god, Gorka Morka, we try our hand at etymology, and we sweet-talk a cyclops.

  • Warhammer Lore Part 2 - Archaon and the End Times

    Lore Boys are back with part 2 of our Sigmar Unberogen trilogy! This episode we're talking about the End Times, led by Archaon the Everchosen, the Three-Eyed King, the Lord of the End Times and the self-proclaimed supreme champion of the four Gods of Chaos who was sent to command the last and greatest Chaos Invasion. If the world of Mallus is full of substitious fools ready to buy into any ol' pyramid scheme why wouldn't they buy into a weird and violent cult dedicated to the end of all things?


    This episode Peter enjoys Oreo filling with bread crusts, James experiences a miner's headlamp which can't be turned off, and Ethan learns that Sonic's made of ice. So say a quick prayer to Ulric, lace up your crusadin' boots, and get ready to crack some skulls as we continue on our journey to the Age of Sigmar.

  • Warhammer Lore Part 1 - Sigmar Unberogen

    Lore Boys, Warhammer edition! We're talking Sigmar Unberogen, big Daddy Emperor himself on this week's episode. From his humble origins in the Unberogen clan all the way up to fighting off Nagash, Lord of the Dead, and eventually Morkar the first Everchosen of Chaos himself. This episode is part one of two talking about Sigmar, with an upcoming episode describing just how exactly we went from Sigmar leading an Age of Man, to an Age of Sigmar itself, so be sure to tune in for that one.


    This episode Jamie learns about the log scale in the hole in the bottom of the sea, Ethan flirts with some necromancers, and Peter ties a bone to his pelvis and threatens to flush it all down. Strap in and let our voices (with some minor audio issues) caress your ears like the sound of creaky bones while you fuck.
