Ep 5 Pt 1: Horror Special

Trapped by a sinister madman, the Twits must podcast their way to freedom. Unfortunate, given that they couldn't fight their way out of a poorly-recycled paper bag during a particularly vicious downpour. Discussion of the tabletop RPG Call of Cthulhu, tension in horror games, inappropriate horror maze twisting, reverse screaming, and that most dreaded of childhood monsters: Pop Up Pirate. Thanks to DiscoveryME for Glitch & Static 01.

Ep 4 Pt 2: Skulduggery Special

Humorous discussion of subterfuge in roleplaying and video games. Covering Batman's crying-about-your-parents minigame, that time Colin killed our gaming group, demonic bargains, the X-Files, and how to effectively punch a monkey. Correction: psychic tests are conducted using Zener cards, not Reiner cards - apologies to Karl Zener! Thanks to jamesabdulrahman for 'Permission to panic?'

Ep 3 Pt 2: Fantasy Special

Hear ye! A discussion on Pathfinder, Dungeons and Dragons, Lords of Waterdeep, consequences in RPGs, sexy peasants, beardcraft, banning Monopoly, and diptheria. Colin has memory problems, Brian wishes he was an elf, and Aaron hates the very foundation upon which this episode was built. The git. Credit to abel_K for 'copper bell' sound used for last orders.

Colin was wrong, join us in booing at him.

Ep 2 Pt 2: Post-Apocalypse Special

A whole episode spent pondering Mutant: Year Zero from Modiphius Press, a post-apocalyptic tabletop roleplaying game that, quite frankly, we love. Enjoy! And a special thanks to guitarguy1985 for air raid noise found on Freesound.
