December 22, 2017 C&C D&D: The Miracle At Grey Home, Part 1
It’s time for something a little different. In the run-up to Christmas, we’ll be posting our first-ever Dungeons & Dragons live play podcast: a magical mystery murder adventure called THE MIRACLE AT GREY HOME. This is part one.
Expect part two tomorrow, part three after that, and so on. You can listen on YouTube if you prefer, or receive your MP3s via the regular C&C podcast feed.
THE MIRACLE AT GREY HOME is an adventure that Chris wrote, played using D&D 5e rules. Our characters began life at level 1 in a warm-up session, and begin this adventure at level 2. This is Chris’ first time DMing 5th edition D&D, so don’t be surprised if he gets the rules wrong. If you’re the sort of person who gets annoyed when people get the rules wrong: Chris says sorry. In the third person, apparently.

December 15, 2017Episode 219: Everybody’s Gone To A Party
Get ready for a visceral Christmas experience as Chris, by himself, talks about Hello Neighbour and Hellblade. By himself.
This is, needless to say, a bit of a stopgap episode before we gather for this year’s annual roundup special. As such, Patreon backers will not be charged for it.
There’s a lot more C&C coming over the course of the next week. Hold on for our D&D special, Miniatures Monthly, Bloodborne, a video podcast special, and so on.
If nothing else, I hope you find some use for this episode as a kind of bearded man videogames ASMR experience. Or something.
Chris has been playing Hello Neighbour.
Chris has also been playing Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice.

Chris, Tom F and John Roberts discuss indie news, Seven: The Days Long Gone, Destiny 2’s first expansion, Sorcery!, Shadowhand, and more.
‘More’ in this case includes the opportunity horse, the verb ‘to suchet’, a bit of Warhammer, the changes to Patreon, our upcoming Christmas specials, and so on.
Joakim Sandberg’s Iconoclasts has a release date!
As does Gorogoa!
Davy Wreden is hiring programmers.
Bennett Foddy’s Getting Over It is out.

Here’s Patreon’s blog post about the changes, which we unpack a bit in this episode.
John’s been playing Seven: The Days Long Gone.
Here’s Shacknews’ Quake making-of, shamefully not called ‘The quaking of’.
Chris has been having an okay time with Destiny 2: Curse of Osiris.
Tom fell down a big hill in Sorcery!.
Ponder the opportunity horse in Shadowhand.
How many jokes can we wring out of Deus Ex and the City? The answer: less than you’d think.
Finally, Chris’ terrible case of generic videogame man face strikes again, this time in XCOM 2
