In 2018 Innersloth games unleashed an innocuous-looking cooperative Hidden Role game that took the combative elements of the party games Werewolf & Mafia and wrapped them up in cute little spacemen being infiltrated by mysterious alien "Impostors". 

Thanks to a hurricane combination of good design, cross-platform social play on mobile, kids being trapped at home, and an essential understanding of classic horror film paranoia, AMONG US exploded in international popularity, leading a revolution of "sus" language overtaking the elementary and middle schools of America and beyond.

This Chocolate bar is KRONCHY, folks!  Hess & Gavin delve into the dank depths of fiction forward role-playing game DUNGEON WORLD and investigate some of the essential aspects of monster-gaming.  If you're SUPER not into the dork-fests and game discussions, this may not be the episode for you, as we go light on the monsters, heavy on the Nat20s.  

But you're all Nat 20s to us, Dear Readers.

Meatloaf Aday defined the iconic role of the reconstructed American rocker Frankenstein in Richard O'Brien's subversive masterpiece The Rocky Horror Picture Show.  We take a look at Meatloaf, at Eddie himself, the world into which he is brought, and why Frankenstein media is so flow-pirate-shirt-friendly.

In 1910 at his third movie studio, Edison's Bronx cinema team created the first monster movie.  The film was lost for most of the 20th century until a copy was shockingly unearthed in the late 70s and restored.  We discuss the film, its situation within Frankenstein and film media, and sad bastard gothic artificial men and their lovely makeup jobs. 

Gavin drags in the paramount abortion of The Asylum, a film company known primarily for trolling inattentive stoners with their knock-offs of real movies. 

But DO watch Black Summer. 

Also, there's some Tucker & Dale vs Evil in there to cleanse your filthy filthy palette. 

The thrilling conclusion to the Scholastic book based on the hit Nintendo game that teaches us, 

If you're a thirteen year old ninja you CAN save ancient relics from a demon that lives in the amazon jungle as long as you have the powers of pyrokinesis and chronomancy.  Maybe our politicians could learn a thing or two from this book.
