Jeff, Hoi, and a rotating roster of special guests discuss the adventure, fantasy, horror, science fiction, and weird fiction that inspires our gaming
Our Patron Book Club joins us to discuss Lloyd Alexander’s “The Black Cauldron”, the case of Joseph’s unreturned hardback, the unsuccessful animated adaptation, the advantage of nostalgia, complaining about invisibility, the butchering of the Welsh language, annoying anatogonists, a horse’s suicide, Thor’s hammer, bringing relatively low-level characters into a big epic continent-spanning war, contacting the Alexander estate, and much more!
Becky Annison joins us to discuss Lloyd Alexander’s “The Book of Three”, the Dungeons and Dragons movie, dwarven guides, Welsh myth, characters with firm personality hooks, spaghetti westerns, the Black Cauldron, clear linear mission paths, giving each character their moment, changing the stakes of successes, horror mechanics, destroying books or cards for art, and much more!
