Episode 198 of The Independent Characters is a return to an Extended Warrior Lodge! Unfortunately, Discord was having some issues with Google today and people could not log into Discord servers around the world. This prevented us from pulling in any live listeners during our live Twitch broadcast unfortunately. That's ok though, we WILL do this again! Carl is joined by Justin, Jody, and Josh... the three J's all wearing different name tags just to mess things up further! We have some great discussion and a ton of fun recording. I think it comes through. It's a fantastic episode, and we hope you enjoy it!

Episode 236 of The Independent Characters has us returning to the shelves and storage at the back of the Astronomicon to uncover more Warhammer 40k collectible materials. In our second go around of Rare Warhammer 40k Materials, Carl and Josh discuss several art books as well as a graphic novel which is set in the Horus Heresy era and completes a story that was left untold! With this episode being heavily art-focused, we would recommend checking out our YouTube Channel and seeing some of the graphics that are displayed in review. We hope you enjoy Episode 236!

Episode 235 of The Independent Characters takes us, primarily, on a review and recounting of Adepticon from Josh and Jody's point of view. Originally we had expected to include a bunch of information about the various game stores and events Carl went to when on vacation in Australia, but things didn't quite work out as planned on that front. If you ARE interested in the Australia Trip, Carl will discuss that as bonus content for our Patreon members of all levels. However, Josh and Jody go into detail about Adepticon, what events they attended and provide some advice for those going in a long discussion. We hope you enjoy!

Episode 234 of The Independent Characters has us taking a close look at the Sociology of Warhammer 40K Gaming Groups. We will delve into the various social dynamics within Warhammer 40,000 gaming groups such as clubs, friend groups, tournament scenes, conventions, etc. We discuss how these microcosms build camaraderie, negotiate conflicts, and create inclusive spaces for diverse players.

Episode 233 of The Independent Characters takes an in depth look at the psychology behind collecting Warhammer 40k. We are going to explore the benefits and pitfalls of the hobby and take a look at some strategies for not increasing your "closet of opportunity"... unless that makes you happy! To help us with this we are joined for an interview with Christopher Will, a psychologist operating out of Southern California. We didn't realize how long this episode had gotten as we explored this topic - so strap yourselves in for a pretty lengthy 3 hours of awesomeness!

In Episode 232 we are joined by not one, but two, distinguished guests! Distinguished may be pushing it, but we are joined by Campbel McLaughlin and Dan Boyd of the 40k Badcast! Two of our favorite people in 40k provide us with a ton of great discussion around various topics that are floating around the Warhammer universe at this time in an episode we are calling The Warrior Lodge - Collab Edition! We hope you enjoy Episode 232 as much as we did recording it!
