Greetings traveler, we're glad to see you again! Thanks for joining us for Episode 16. This week, we talk about how scary the New England woods are, and about horror in movies, RPGs, and video games. Steve talks his struggles with using oil washes, Terry tells us about the time a moth flew into his mouth, Gage gushes about A24 (probably has done it before), and Phil does a wee bit of online shopping mid-episode (we forgive him) but does tell us the best way to kill a burrow of yellow jackets (the results will SHOCK you).

Episode 14: "...because He, too, lives in fear of what He's created" Aug 25, 2023

Show notes

You're back live with Episode 14! Thanks for joining us for again for another adventure into the depths of four resin-addled brains. This week, among many other things, we finally strap Gage to the chair and interrogate him about his Last War campaign that took place last month. Additionally you'll get some insight into Gage's first game of 40k 10th edition running Genestealer Cults, Steve flips through the Realm of Chaos books and we roll up some demons, Terry swoons over battletech and how it feels to dip his little toesies into a new world, and Phil insists to a bitter end that he's never seen Spy Kids 2 (good movie).

Stay alert for a little give away this week of some very cool Knucklebones Miniature prints, but you'll have to listen to find out what the prints are (they are cool). Thank you so much to Knucklebones for being amazing and making them! (@knucklebones_miniatures)

Also we forgot to read the patron names this episode- but we will get you guys next time! Sorry!

Don't forget to keep your True Name a secret, and make sure you Bash the Planet!

Episode 13: Grimdark Recreational Vehicular Combat Aug 11, 2023

Show notes

Big Lucky 13! Thanks for joining us for another wild ride. Today we talk big about the Hondious event and Rich Grimmond, put on by Martin (@martin.mccoy.art), Mike (@gundamofficialhobby) and help from the wonderful Bill (@the_ruin.501) We tell you about all of our old and new friends we got to party with down in yonder Virginia, and the hijinks included. You'll hear about Gage driving 100 mph through the night to get us down there, Phil fills us in on a little about marsupials, Steve talks about how he would recreate a Blanche artwork in 3D if he had all the time/money/resources he needed and Terry reminds us about the scandalous artwork of Disney animation.

Big praise for Pauly Mordheim (@wyrdstoned on IG), without him there's no way the Grimdark Recreational Vehicle would have come to be, nor would the sweet sweet games of on-the-road BattleTech led by Brad (@bitsbibsorks).

For more coverage of the event please give Tabletop Wizards some love (@tabletop.wizards) and check out their video here: Rich Grimmond 2023

Remember the Rule of Carnage, and make sure you Bash the Planet!

Episode 12: Birth, Death, and Wild Willy's Jul 21, 2023

Show notes

It's Episode 12 baybee! Today we talk about how it all came to be, how the boy's stories aligned. You'll hear about Steve getting kicked out of Games Workshop for abusing his paint pot privileges, how Phil pressured one of his best friends to spend their first paycheck on a Warhammer Fantasy starter box, how Gage was taken aback by the sheer magnificence of the Catachan warriors and how Terry stumbled into the junkyard garage of a madman, with a little help from Steve and Phil. A sneaky peek into how this group of degenerates formed into one Hive Mind - and how you can get involved with your area and do the same.
