October is spoopy skeleton month, so Aaron, Tom, and I answer your questions about horror!
Note: There was some problems recording this episode, resulting in some occasional crackle – I have reduced it but was unable to entirely remove it. Sorry! I will take greater care to prevent that in our next episode.

After Hours Episode 56: Palladium Skills
0 Comments
Too many RPGs have bloated skill lists, but not the games of the Palladium Megaverse. Special guest Chris, Aaron, Tom, and I go through some of the Palladium games and discuss the merits of their skills from fly fishing to entomological medicine. Find out which game has the worst and best (?) skills!

After Hours: Trappers
0 Comments
Caleb and I discuss traps, particularly ones from Grimtooth’s Traps Too. Why do dungeons in fantasy RPGs often have so many and so impractical traps? The implications of obsessive trap builders are fascinating. We also review many of the traps from the book.

Don’t Cross the Stream: Diner Scenes
0 Comments
We’re trying something a bit different for this episode. Instead of focusing on one movie or show, we are talking about a type of scene in many movies and shows: the diner scene. I got the idea from watching Midnight Diner: Tokyo Stories on Netflix. Bridget, Fae, Thad, Kat, and I discuss how we can take this scene and create an interesting storytelling game about it.
Check out Cry by Bridget and Fae!

After Hours Bonus Podcast: A Discussion of The Room
0 Comments
Shaun and I watched The Room at the Alamo Drafthouse last year. It was his first time watching it. After it, we discussed the movie. What did Sahun think of the cult classic? It’s…complex.
I have been saving this podcast for a rainy day and since I am heading to Los Angeles for Patrecon (a conference for Patreon creators Nov 1 to 3) I am posting it now. We will still have a regular episode of After Hours this month and a new episode of Don’t Cross the Stream, but scheduling issues have kept me from recording them yet. When I get back, I will get them recorded and posted as soon as I can.

Don’t Cross the Stream: Blade 1 and 2
0 Comments
For our spooky October episode, we head back to the late 90s and early 2000s for a double dose of Blade, the vampire hunter. Wesley Snipes looked very cool in his sunglasses and leather trench coat as he murdered the World of Darkness, one bloodsucker at a time. Birk, Richard, and newcomer Kat from Best Pal Brigade joins us as we figure out what kind of fun games we can make from the first cool superhero movies.

After Hours: The Were-Predator
0 Comments
Aaron, Tom, and I recently saw The Predator, the latest flick in the venerable sci-fi franchise. It was a hot mess, to put it lightly. So, how else can we improve it? Add another hot mess, of course! Each of us took some elements from Synnibarr, the classic fantasy heartbreaker RPG.
I also review Edge-On, an adventure anthology for the Cyberspace RPG. It’s weird.

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.
