Oops All Monsters

Hess and Gavin are getting into professional Game Mastering!

***

I’m giving listeners of this show a special opportunity to play Hess's first hosted sessions of DUNGEON WORLD: ESCAPE!

Currently there is scheduled an 18+ version at 630 on Thursday March 16 - 5 slots open

And a TEEN version at 2pm on Sat March 11, also up to five players.

Times are Eastern Standard Time USA (EST)

And if you’re not familiar with Dungeon World it’s a rules light, character focused fantasy take on games like Dungeons and Dragons, and in ESCAPE...

 ***

The Heroes play a band of nefarious convicts, being unjustly (or perhaps justly in your case?) shipped into servitude over sea to a notorious prison colony. Playing as races typically associated with villainy (hobgoblins, bugbears, etc), they will have to fight for their lives and their FREEDOM!!!

If you have questions or want to organize a more custom game, or at a different time, shoot me an email at [email protected]

In the revolutionary dystopian RPG originally published in 1988 by Mike Pondsmith and R Talsorian Games, CYBERPUNK (various, from TTRPG to anime to FPShooter) explores the edges of humanity, capitalism, and personal frailty amongst a neon backdrop of acid rain, body-altering cyberware, and techno-wizardry. 

No characters personify the monstrous alienation of this world more deliciously than MAELSTROM, a gang of cyber-maniacs that take de-humanization and self mutilation not as eventual goal, but stepping-stone for entry into their bloody, maniacal cabal.  Whether it's selling morbid "better-than-life" hallucination chips or dealing in zero-nutrition insect "food stuffs" through their ALL FOODS front, MAELSTROM is a bleeding chrome tooth in the manicured aesthetic of NIGHT CITY'S cosmopolitan facade.

Unbuckle your pants and load your bazookas, cuz it's blobbin' time! In 1988, exactly 30 years after the original film, Kevin Dillon and Shawnee Smith starred in a gruesome horror comedy full of over-the-top gore effects and middle-fingers to the man. 

Whether you are currently, or on your way to being, a blobficianado, join us on our journey to answer the immortal question...can we blame the Russians for this one?

Lace up your leather jacket and polish your wine bottles full of precious bodily fluids, it's time to suck the life out of adolescence!  NOT adolescents...adolescence!  Leave the teens alone.  Or help them? They need help, perhaps in the form of a wildly involved, super-system of roleplaying games built on a foundation of punk rock, goth music, shoe-gazing mental illness and reductive ethnic stereotyping that DEFINITELY ISN'T CARRIED INTO THE 21st century by its parent company.

2022 brought us a nightmarish new vision of demonic bliss in the restart of the HELLRAISER series, so HAPPY FU*%ING NEW YEAR!

Show Creator Greg Mcracken, when forced to change his devilish villain from a traditional tailed and horned goat man by the censors at CARTOON NETWORK, turned to camera and growled under his breath..."Not a problem...suck on THIS instead," and delivered this week's infernal topic...His Infernal Majesty, aka HIM.

There's a vicious space cockroach inside of Vincent D'Onofrio, and it needs you to give it sugar. 

This wacky space-crime-on-earth action comedy about a secret intergalactic government agency that steals your thoughts in order to keep you ignorant about the magnitude of life's real dangers is HILARIOUS. 

RIP Kevin Conroy

Hess examines the impact of Jack Arnold's cinematic sci-fi masterpiece, connecting the Creature (aka Gill-Man) to Michael Myers, and understanding the film (originally conceived as an adaptation of Beauty & The Beast through the very heavy presence of the male gaze.
