Expedition to the Grizzly Peaks: Recent Episodes
Andy
Expedition to the Grizzly Peaks staggers to a close. This is it - really - really, the final episode. Thanks to everyone that has listened, called in, contributed, inspired, befriended, castigated, chastised, humoured, loved, hated, but mostly put up with, this collection of mostly meaningless ramblings, which will now sit on Spotify's servers gathering dust until someone one day decides to unplug the life support.
You've all been awesome. Except for Barney.
If you want to hear more from me (and Barney and many others) head over to Grizzly Peaks Radio
Peace!

H.G. Wells is so well known that you don't have to bother reading his books, you already know them, except you don't. I rather ashamedly had never actually read an H.G. Wells novel until a week ago. That all changed and I'm a better person for it.
Corrections:
The tedious Brit drama is of course Downton Abbey
The album is by Jeff Wayne not Jeff Lynne (easy mistake)
There was a movie of War of the Worlds from 1953 but the album is a fictional soundtrack as suspected
Most the science I expound on is at least slightly wrong

They say you never want to see the sausage get made - but we are making a horror game so a bit of intestine and gristle is par for the course. This may not be everyone's cup of tea but I think it's interesting to hear how we are collaboratively building the setting and characters for our forthcoming delve into real horror (or as real as you can get it). Listen in as Scott Dorward (Good Friends of Jackson Elias), Spencer Game (Keep off the Borderlands), Barney Dicker (Loco Ludus), and TJ Drennon join me for our session zero of (Name Pending) horror game.
Listener discretion advised: There is an actual real life monster attack at about the 40 minute mark - so anyone of a sensitive disposition may want to skip.

After my first episodes of the Preparing for Epic series Mike got in contact and gave me a bit of a telling off (very gentle don't worry) about my assertion that you need to do a lot of extra preparation beyond the campaign book to run Masks well.

About 3 months ago I did this Interview with Judd Karlman one of the creators of Sons of Kryos. Along with Jeff Lower and Storn Cook they put out one of the very first gaming podcasts ever made and one that was hugely influential I believe to many podcasters who came after. I'm a huge fan of those early days of RPG podcasting, when things were more innocent and iPhone's and D&D 4th edition didn't exist.

For our 50th episode a very special treat. This adventure was intended to be showcased at GaryCon XII and was the second part of a scenario based on the amazing Path to Carcosa story cycle from Arkham Horror the card game by Fantasy Flight Games.
