In this special double feature episode, we cover two cult classics from the 90s: Bound and Deep Blue Sea. One features women who love women who love crime and the other features genetically altered sharks. Bridget and Fae and I talk about Bound, while Richard, Birk, and Aaron and I look at Deep Blue Sea.

After Hours: Kill Team Six
0 Comments
If you had to lead a squad of soldiers in the Warhammer 40k universe, who would they be and what is their mission? That’s the question I put to Aaron, Tom, and Shaun. I also reviewed two fine books:
- Spies of Lightelf: A Judge’s Guild supplement for The WIlderlands campaign setting. A kingdom of gnomes, infested with spies, and random plant encounter tables.
- Night of the Shark: An AD&D adventure about sharks and shark men and a monstrous entity called the Apodalypse, even though it’s shark based and that name makes no sense.

Bridget, Fae, Maddy, and I tackle an actually *good* movie and one of the best family dramas in years, Thor: Ragnarok! From mods for existing RPGs, to new card games, we have quite a few ideas for the movie. Thank you for your support of this Patreon!

After Hours: Seize the Initiative
0 Comments
Initiative systems in miniatures war games: the most controversial topic in all of gaming or of all time? Aaron, Shaun, and I discuss the initiative systems of various war games, from Konflikt 47, to Warhammer 40k. I also got a few of the new Warhammer books, so we make fun of the naming system in Death Tome Flesh Eaters Court, which is already a pretty silly name.

In 1997, John Woo, Nicolas Cage, and John Travolta created a unique cinematic experience called Face/Off. It’s on Netflix and we haven’t done a Nic Cage movie yet, so I thought we should dive into it. A full roundtable of Aaron, Bridget, Richard, Caleb, and I discuss how to gameify some of the elements in the movie. The games we come up with may surprise you!

Don’t Cross the Stream: Speed Racer

The 2008 movie version of Speed Racer is a trip and a favorite of many of our cast members. Bridget, Noah, Richard, Thad, and I discuss how the overly-saturated visual chaos and splendor of this movie can be translated into gaming fodder. From civilization building games that explore the cost of building the tracks used in the movie, to using slot cars in a RPG, we have it all!

Special guest Noah from Maple Syrup Blood Money and Role Playing Exchange and I try to explain Warhammer Fantasy to Jeb. Why? Because it’s the only way we can make sense of it ourselves.

Netflix released Reboot: The Guardian Code, a new series based on the cult classic 90s CGI cartoon. Renee, Noah, Aaron, and I talk about the new series and how to gameify it. Who needs acting when you can just randomly pick your emotions?

After Hours: Crossover Chaos

Everyone is excited about the great crossover event happening in a major fictional universe. Of course, I’m talking about the Supernatural/Scooby Doo crossover. I heard something about some crossover movie but who cares about that?
Anyway, Shaun, Tom, and I got together to make our crossover RPG characters. We used random character creation tables from different games to generate our team – from Maid to Beyond the Supernatural.

Don’t Cross the Stream: Infini
0 Comments
Sci-fi films can be about big ideas, but sometimes that isn’t enough. Infini tries to be about some big ideas but the execution leaves much to be desired. Bridget, Caleb, Fae, Thad, and I discuss the movie and our ideas for mining gaming fodder out of it. Things like random tables for doing stupid things in space, to mini games about pretending to be human even when you’re secretly a goo alien!
