Welcome to Episode 19 of We Aren’t Dead Yet, a podcast throwing magic missiles into the ttrpg, gamer and speculative fiction sphere and seeing whether we come out alive at the end.

Today’s episode… Hindsight Spotlight: Fallout, Finding Inspiration, and Sword & Sorcery

In Hindsight Spotlight, we take a look at media that struck a chord. Whether it's worldbuilding, a particular character, or even a sequence of camera shots, this content stuck out to us as something to chat about, recommend, or praise. This episode, Emily goes full fan girl on the Fallout series and starts speculating about the cosmic horror elements of the setting, Sapha discusses their interpretation of inspiration and how to write fantastic fiction without scraping your favorite media, and Dazz begins a discussion on Sword & Sorcery decades in the making. We’ll see you next week with a closer inspection of the Sword & Sorcery genre with Dazz!

Have a question you want to ask about the episode, the writing sphere or table top role playing games? Hit us up with comments on substack, down in the comments section below, or by throwing a question up on X @usurperkings or @e__armstrong.

Every little bit helps.

Cheers for now!
