**Don’t Give Up Skeleton: A Dark Souls and Bloodborne Podcast**

Don’t Give Up, Skeleton is a podcast inspired by one simple question: how did you get into the Souls games? Every week, Jeremy Greer interviews a guest about their own personal Souls story. Guests include a wide variety of people, both well known on the internet and completely unknown. Each episode is a bit different, with guests discussing what the games mean to them, whether it be a technical look into the inner workings, how NPC quest lines mirror personal relationships, fun and exciting lore stories, or lengthy discussions about the music in the games.

Hello skeletons! This week on the podcast, we are joined by Judson Cowan, who you might know if you've been following Souls stuff for awhile. Besides making some great videogame soundtracks (like Rogue Legacy 2), he's also the creator of Laudate Solis, the most perfect map of Dark Souls 1 that has ever existed. Until his new one comes out, anyway. We talk about his history with the games, the magic of making maps, and more. Enjoy!

Lordran & Beyond 1st Edition Anthology by Zach Sharpe — Kickstarter — Nearly seven years ago, with aspirations of writing comics but no entry or foothold to establish myself, I launched Lordran & Beyond, the on-going Dark Souls web comic. For years on a monthly basis, I worked with various amazing artists to deliver chapters in a cumulative 25 different stories! Supporting us every step of the way have been the hundreds of amazing patrons on Patreon, and this partnership between creator, artist, and supporter resulted in over 300 comic pages of delicious, Soulsy material.

Hello skellies! We're back with another DGUS Remastered episode, this time with my buddy Paolo.

Episode 182: You Died Dec 11, 2019

Show notes

NEW EPISODE OUT OF NOWHERE!

My good friend Jason Killingsworth is Kickstarting a new edition of You Died, the book he and Keza MacDonald wrote about Dark Souls back in 2016. You Died is a celebration of Dark Souls, and contains stories, anecdotes, and lore about the game. It was an inspriation for this podcast, and I'm not just saying that because I'm in it, I promise! Jason brought his designer, Andrew Hind, to the podcast, and the three of us talk about the book, the game, and of course, the community. Enjoy!

DGUS Remastered - Sean aka The Lore Hunter Jul 31, 2019

Show notes

Hello skellies! If you haven't been following me on Twitter or on the recently closed Patreon, I have some news. My original plan after putting DGUS on hiatus was to begin recording and releasing "remastered" episodes, in which I'd re-interview some of the original guests of the show and see how things have changed. I recorded one of these, which you are hopefully listening to right now, and since then have decided to shut down the Patreon. I don't have any direct plans to record more of these, but if I do they'll be publicly available on this feed.

All of that aside, the guest is my friend Sean, who releases content under the moniker The Lore Hunter. Sean is a lore junkie, as you might imagine, and in the three years since we recorded the first time his life has gone through many changes. He has more kids, he bought a house...the usual stuff. Also: his Souls content began to get way more popular than usual. Popularity is a good thing right? Not always. As Sean tells us in this episode, sometimes it can lead to all sorts of unusual places.

Enjoy the episode friends!
