TCW Podcast Episode 219 - Diablo 1   We explore the monumental game Diablo! Initially a collaborative effort between David Brevik, Erich Schaefer, and Max Schaefer, Diablo brought together elements from games like X-Com, Angband, and surprisingly NHL '94. The trio formed the company Condor, producing NFL games and a Street Fighter clone called Justice League Task Force for the SEGA Genesis. At CES, they discovered another company developing the SNES port of Justice League, Blizzard Entertainment. Through a series of fortuitous events, Condor was acquired by Davidson & Associates and rebranded as Blizzard North. Join us as we explore the wild history of Diablo and its impact on shaping how we play video games today!   Play Diabo 1 Web Shareware Version: https://d07riv.github.io/diabloweb/   It was the best of times it was the blurst of times: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=no_elVGGgW8 Moria (Plato Emulator): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zvqgKKXAFI Angband: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSiX_aoUn5s Stay a While and Listen (2 Book Series): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B087JF24VG?binding=kindle_edition Gordo 106 (AGDQ): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwqlNeT9oTE Three Days of the Condor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mU8tQTNlPAM Iguana Entertainment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iguana_Entertainment MC Chris Kingdom Hearts 2 & Resident Evil 4 (EXPLICIT): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZsDUSxK5Fs NHL '94: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShqgmvGrxfM X-COM UFO Defense: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZJAFG0rjo0 The Digital Antiquarian - Diablo: https://www.filfre.net/2023/07/diablo/ Diablo 1 Original Soundtrack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcKmaLP-sQM Justice League Task Force (Genesis): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hNrLiRxBE4 Justice League Task Force (SNES): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QulgjKAsRaA TCW 054 - Blizzard: Vikings and WarCraft: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/blizzard-vikings-and-warcraft/ TCW 055 - Blizzard: Hellfire and The World… of WarCraft: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/blizzard-hellfire-and-the-world%E2%80%A6-of-warcraft/ David Brevik - Making Diablo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LI_CXw4x61E Diablo 1 - The Sin War: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWXozMHrxrM Diablo 1 All Cutscenes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aMkkf8-i-U Kali (Software): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kali_(software)     New episodes are on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: feedback@theycreateworlds.com  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theycreateworlds Alex's Video Game History Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com Alex's book, published Dec 2019, is available at CRC Press and at major on-line retailers: http://bit.ly/TCWBOOK1     Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.

Después de los actos heroicos de Beren y Lúthien, los hijos de Fëanor se inspiran para unir a los elfos y sus aliados contra Morgoth. Maedhros, el mayor de los hijos de Fëanor, organiza la Unión de Maedhros, una gran alianza de elfos, hombres y enanos. Sin embargo, las tensiones previas y las traiciones complican sus esfuerzos. Orodreth de Nargothrond se niega a enviar ayuda debido a la animosidad hacia los hijos de Fëanor, y Thingol también se abstiene por el deseo de los hijos de Fëanor de obtener su Silmaril. A pesar de estas dificultades, Maedhros logra reunir un ejército considerable, incluyendo a los enanos de Nogrod y Belegost, los hombres del este liderados por Bór y Ulfang, los elfos y hombres de Hithlum, y miembros de la Casa de Haleth. Incluso Turgon de Gondolin se une secretamente a la batalla con un ejército. El plan de Maedhros es atacar Angband desde el este sobre Anfauglith, mientras que Fingon atacaría desde el oeste desde Hithlum. Sin embargo, la traición de Ulfang retrasa a las fuerzas de Maedhros, y aunque Turgon llega con refuerzos de Gondolin, la batalla se convierte en un desastre para los elfos y sus aliados. La traición y la superioridad numérica de las fuerzas de Morgoth llevan a una derrota aplastante, conocida como la Batalla de las Lágrimas Innumerables debido a la gran pérdida de vidas. La eterna guerra contra el mal sigue adelante. Y ahora... ¡que comience la función! VOZ NARRACIÓN: MARÍA LARRALDE

El capítulo 18 de El Silmarillion narra los eventos finales de la Guerra de los Hijos de Húrin en la Primera Edad del Sol. Beleriand, hogar de muchos Elfos, ha sido devastado por las fuerzas de Morgoth. Fingolfin, Rey Supremo de los Noldor, decide desafiar a Morgoth a un combate singular. Fingolfin cabalga hacia Angband, la fortaleza de Morgoth, y lo reta a un duelo. La batalla es épica y titánica, con Fingolfin hiriendo a Morgoth siete veces. Sin embargo, Morgoth es demasiado poderoso y finalmente mata a Fingolfin. Con la muerte de Fingolfin, la esperanza de los Elfos en Beleriand se desvanece... VOZ NARRACIÓN: MARÍA LARRALDE

Happy TOMEntines day! This week we choo-choo choose to revisit the traditional roguelike-sphere with an oldie but a biggie. Tales of Maj'Eyal holds a special place in the hearts of old guards of tradrogues, continuing a legacy from an Angband spinoff in 1998. There's a lot of love stemming from a vibrant community around TOME, if you can look past the ugly duckling presentation. It's time to use our Chronomancy to turn back the clock, fight back the Spellblaze Scar, and try to charm the master of Dredfell Tower to watch some sappy romcoms with us.

The enraged Eldar furiously pursue Morgoth's forces to the very gates of Angband. Morgoth unleashes his full strength on them. Then Ulfang carries out his treacherous plan and attacks Maedhhros from the rear. His forces are scattered and the sons of Fëanor retreat. Azaghâl, Lord of Belegost, and the Dwarves hold back Glaurung heroically. Azaghâl is defeated but he badly wounds the dragon, and the beasts of Angband retreat. Gothmog, Lord of Balrogs, and a great army fight against Fingon and Turgon in the west. Fingon faces Gothmog alone. 01:28 Greg reads pages 191-195 from the Silmarillion, 2nd Edition 14:40 Recap 16:05 Discussion "Some have said that even then the Eldar might have won the day, had all their hosts proved faithful." ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch this Episode on YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Send feedback to beforethefellowship@gmail.com Follow us as we follow Tolkien: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TWITTER⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DISCORD⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ The Rings of Power comes to Amazon, but nothing compares to the real story JRR Tolkien wrote.

SILMARILLION: 3. DE LA LLEGADA DE LOS ELFOS Y EL CAUTIVERIO DE MELKOR VOZ: MARÍA LARRALDE Durante largos años los Valar vivieron en beatitud a la luz de los Árboles más allá de las Montañas de Aman, pero un crepúsculo estelar cubría toda la Tierra Media. Mientras las Lámparas habían brillado, surgió allí una vegetación que luego fue estorbada, porque todo se hizo otra vez oscuro. Pero las más antiguas criaturas vivientes habían aparecido ya: en los mares las grandes algas, y en la tierra la sombra de grandes árboles; y en los valles que la noche vestía había oscuras criaturas, antiguas y vigorosas. A esas tierras y bosques, los Valar iban rara vez, salvo Yavanna y Oromë; y Yavanna andaba allí por las sombras, lamentando que el nacimiento y la promesa de la Primavera de Arda se hubiesen diferido. Y puso a dormir a muchas criaturas nacidas en la Primavera, para que no envejecieran, y aguardaran el momento de despertar, que no había llegado aún. Pero en el norte Melkor cobraba fuerzas, y no dormía, pero vigilaba, y trabajaba; y las criaturas malignas que él había pervertido andaban por las tierras vecinas, y los bosques oscuros y adormilados eran frecuentados por monstruos y formas espantosas. Y en Utumno reunió a sus demonios, los espíritus que se le unieron desde un principio en los días de esplendor y que más se le asemejaban en corrupción: sus corazones eran de fuego; pero un manto de tinieblas los cubría, y el terror iba delante de ellos; tenían látigos de llamas. Balrogs se los llamó en la Tierra Media en días posteriores. Y en ese tiempo oscuro Melkor creó muchos otros monstruos de distintas formas y especies que durante mucho tiempo Perturbaron el mundo; y el reino fue extendiéndose hacia el sur por sobre la Tierra Media. Y Melkor levantó también una fortaleza y armería no lejos de las costas noroccidentales del mar para resistir a cualquier ataque que viniera de Aman. La fortaleza era mandada por Sauron, teniente de Melkor; y se le daba el nombre de Angband...

In this week's episode, I recall reading THE SILMARILLION for the first time as a teenager, and discuss how it later influenced MAGIC THE GATHERING. TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00 Welcome and Writing Updates Hello everyone. Welcome to Episode 164 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is August the 13th, 2023 and today we're going to discuss The Silmarillion and how it connects to Magic the Gathering and we'll also answer some reader questions and have an update on my current writing projects. First up, let's have an update on my current writing projects. I'm pleased to report that Dragonskull: Crown of the Gods, the final book in the Dragonskull series is now out. You can get it at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, Google Play, Apple Books, Smashwords, Scribd, and Payhip on my own store. It came out officially yesterday actually, and it's been selling very well very briskly. So, thank you all for that. It is also the 9th and final book in the Dragonskull series, so those of you who refuse to read the series until it's complete, you can now buy all nine Dragonskull books immediately and enjoy them. I also released a bonus short story called The Final Shield that is a preview of the next Epic Fantasy series I will write in Andomhaim in the year 2024. So if you want a preview of that series, you can check out The Final Shield. My newsletter subscribers will have gotten that story for free and I'll be doing a follow up e-mail in a week or so. So, if you sign up for the newsletter right now, you will get a free ebook copy of The Final Shield next week. Now that Dragonskull is finished as part of my Summer of Finishing Things, the next thing I will write will be Silent Order: Pulse Hand, the 14th and final book in the Silent Order science fiction series. I'm going to start that tomorrow as a matter of fact and hopefully have it out towards the end of September. 00:01:49 Reader Questions and Comments So, let's have some questions and comments from readers. Our first question is from James, who asks: I do have a question. I understand it's very expensive to create an Audible book. Are there any plans to make an Audible version for the last set of the Ghost Night Book series? At the moment, no. The Ghosts is completely in audiobook. Ghost Exile is completely in audiobook, and when I start writing a new Caina series after Silent Order: Pulse Hand, I'm going to start doing that one in audiobook right away. But at the moment, I don't have any plans to do a Ghost Night audiobook series. Things may change later, but for now I don't. Our next question is from Andy, who asks: For Dragonskull: Doom of the Sorceress, you seem to do a soft open, e.g. publish the table of contents on Wednesday and then late Friday I was able to download the book on iBooks. I'm hoping the same for The Crown of the Gods. Well, this is what I do when I publish a book: The first day I will publish it everywhere on all the platforms: Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, Google Play, Apple Books, Smashwords, Payhip, and then through Smashwords, should get on Scribd eventually, and then I leave alone the rest of that day. So the day after then I will start an Amazon auto target ad to start getting word out. The day after that I will post links. So the second day after I publish I will post links for the book on Facebook and other social media and then the day after that, ideally the third day after publishing, is when I will send out the newsletter letting everyone know that it's been read, so that way, usually by then, by the third day, it's finished processing on all the platforms and I can then send out a newsletter out letting every reader I have on every platform know that it's available on their platform of choice. So that's usually what I do. For the table of contents, I post that when I get to a certain phase of editing, and at that point I'm almost done with the book. So once I have posted the table of contents, it's not too much longer until the book will be done and I will be ready to publish. Our next question is from William, who asks similar questions: I've been listening to some of your works through Audible. I started listening to Frostborn: The Gray Knight. It seems like I'm missing some of the story. Your website says Frostborn: The First Quest is the first book, but I can't seem to find it on Audible. Is it in a bundle that I'm not aware of, similar to The Ghosts: Omnibus One? What books or series should I read before that one, Frostborn or is Frostborn its own universe? Thanks for listening, William. I'm glad you enjoyed the books. To answer your questions, Frostborn is its own universe, completely distinct from The Ghosts. Frostborn: The First Quest is a prequel novel I wrote before the main series of Frostborn, and we've never done that one in audio because it is not part of the main story and you don't actually need to read Frostborn: The First Quest to understand what's going on in the main story. So that's sort of a bonus material that's out there. Potentially someday, we might do Frostborn: The First Quest in audio, but I don't have any plans to do that right now. And I should mention that the complete Frostborn series is in audio as is the two sequel series, Sevenfold Sword and Dragontiarna. They're all available in audio and you can get them all on Audible. Our next question is from Paloma, who asks about the Dragonskull and Frostborn series. A question: the Magistri get married and have families, but I don't remember any Magistri in the books having any spouses with them. I hope that is not the men…and the men and women in the situation are like monks. So I hope Joaquin has someone amazing in his future. That is an interesting question, but in the setting of Andomhaim, the Magistri can in fact get married. If you've read the Frostborn series, you might remember at the end the Magistrius Camorak does get married to a widow at the end of Frostborn: The Shadow Prison. So it is perfectly normal for the Magistri in Andomhaim to get married. That said, they tend to get married at a much lower level than the rest of the population in Andomhaim. This is partly because a lot of the commoners and many of the nobles in Andomhaim have a deep suspicion of magic and only tolerate the Magistri because they're useful or sometimes not at all. Sometimes the Magistri themselves also get very either wrapped up in their studies to the point where they don't have time for spouse and children, or they become so in love with their own power and prestige and authority that they, you know, don't have any interest in pursuing relationships. Because the nobles are more common…or more comfortable with the Magistri than the commoners, it's not entirely uncommon for a Lord to have an affair if he happens to have a female Magistria assigned to his court. And this doesn't happen like terribly often, but often enough that it's the subject of several popular songs that the nobles and the Magistri aren't too fond of Andomhaim. So that is the bit of world building there, that the Magistri can get married and do, but not as often as the rest of the population in Andomhaim for the reasons we just mentioned. And finally, we have a comment from Bill about last week's episode about dealing with bad reviews. And Bill had this to say: Love this episode and you are 100% correct. Don't respond. Do not engage. Some people are just spoiling for an argument. Sometimes I've wrote a review and thought, you know, for your point, and sometimes I felt, well that guy totally missed the point. But most of all, don't let negative reviews get under your skin. What you write is not going to appeal to everyone. We live in this amazing paradox. There are more books than ever, and readers have access to all the books ever via online services. So why waste your time reading something you don't like and then taking the time and effort to complain about it? Sounds like some people need a hobby. Not every author's works are going to appeal to every single reader. That's OK. There is tons of other great stuff out there. The important thing is that your work will appeal to some readers, and those are folks you should cherish. That's what matters and pays the bills. So wise words from Bill there and a good reminder that it's never a good idea to engage with negative reviews online. 00:07:54 The Silmarillion and Magic The Gathering: Arena So now it's time to transition to our main topic, The Silmarillion and Magic the Gathering, and we're going to talk about how The Silmarillion and Magic The Gathering: Arena, the free app are related. If I remember correctly, I first read The Silmarillion when I was either 17 or 18. I got it at the small town bookshop in the small town where I grew up. The book shop alas, no longer exists and the storefront is now occupied by a place selling kitchen fixtures. I still have the specific copy of The Silmarillion that I bought. It was the gold mass market paperback that showed the fall of Númenor on the cover, and the cover blurb said it was the history of the Elves of Middle Earth. Since I had read the Lord of the Rings when I was 16, I was definitely interested in trying The Silmarillion. Reading the Lord of The Rings gives us a sense of the vast history behind the story, a history that had been going on long, long before Bilbo ever met Thorin Oakenshield and found the ring in the goblin tunnels beneath the Misty Mountain. At the end of Rings, there are bits and pieces of that history in the various appendixes, but it had never been fully explained. So, I thought The Silmarillion might be an intriguing read, and at 17 or possibly 18, I was already very interested in fantasy worldbuilding, which as we know, would serve me well in later…later in life. Now it must be said, The Silmarillion is kind of a difficult read. Like, it starts off with the creation myth and then has a long section where the Valar ordered the world and then explains who each of the Valar are in great detail and the elves don't even show up for a while. In terms of the text, it feels like a combination of reading an ancient chronicle like Xenophon or Tacitus combined with the Epic of Gilgamesh and the historical books of the Bible, specifically the ones where every chapter starts with King Whoever did evil in the eyes of the Lord, more than all his predecessors combined. So in terms of reading, The Silmarillion is a heavy lift. But what did I think the first time I read it? In all honesty, The Silmarillion blew my underdeveloped adolescent mind. It was one of the first fictional things I read that was truly epic in scope, like some parts of it, I just didn't get, but I had just enough historical knowledge at the time to grasp from the inspirations. Like, the Valar were kind of like the Greek and Roman gods without the jerkish behavior, Melkor/Morgoth was an analog for the devil, Numenor was inspired by Atlantis, and so forth. As you get older, some, in fact, many of the memories of adolescence tend to get hazier, but I can still clearly remember reading portions of The Silmarillion in that gold mass market paperback for the first time, the music of the Ainur, Fëanorand the Silmarils, Melkor and Ungoliant, the Battle of Tears Unnumbered, Fingolfin's duel with Morgoth before the gates of Angband, Beren and Lúthien Tinúviel, Turin and the Dragon Glaurung, The fall of Gondolin, The voyage of Eärendil, and finally the War of Wrath when Eärendil casts the Great Dragon Ancalagon The Black from the sky into the towers of Thangorodrim and Morgoth is finally overthrown. And then at the end, Maglor, in his despair and grief after so much suffering, casts the final Simaril into the sea, and forever wanders Middle-earth, singing of his regret. All these amazing, epic, and tragic scenes are cached in the imagination. I mean, I can't remember what I had for lunch yesterday, but I do remember reading The Silmarillion for the first time. About that time I started digging around in my school's library and I found some of the various history of Middle Earth books that Christopher Tolkien had published from his father's copious notes. Among them was The Lays of Beleriand, which included an epic poem Tolkien wrote about the quest of Beren and Luthien, but never got around to finishing. The poor guy enjoyed puttering so much that is probably astonishing that he finished the Lord of the Rings at all. I don't generally enjoy poetry, but since I already knew the story of Beren and Lúthien, and I was able to follow along with the poem and the sheer craft and skill that blew my mind. Like, I never have had any interest at all in writing poetry, but this was amazing. The Silmarillion, like the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, is one of those books that will endure the test of time and become part of sort of the cultural canon like Sherlock Holmes, Romeo and Juliet, Ebenezer Scrooge, and so forth. Let's jump forward many years to 2023, when I started playing Magic The Gathering: Arena. The game received a Lord of the Rings themed expansion pack, which I started playing in June, once it made its way onto the app. It's a point of pride with me that I've never spent any actual U.S. dollars on the game, but I've won enough matches that the in game gold starts to accumulate and the only thing to spend the in game gold on is in game card packs. So I've gotten more and more and more of the Rings themed Magic cards. One of those cards is the Tale of Tinuviel, which is an enchantment card that distributes its effects over three turns. On the first turn, you pick a creature to be invulnerable for the next three turns. On the second, you can pick two creatures to have life link to the end of the turn. And on the third, you can bring back one of your previously killed creatures. It's a powerful card, which is fitting, since in The Silmarillion, Lúthien forces Sauron to flee and puts Morgoth and his entire court to sleep long enough for her and Beren to escape from Angband within the Silmarils. Anyway, the very first time I played the Tale of Tinuviel card, I was losing the match pretty badly, but I played the card and turned things around just long enough for me to win three turns later. It was an interesting experience, since it brought back the memories of reading The Silmarillion and the Lays of Beleriand from the first time, all those years ago in a previous century. And amusingly, I played a match right before I recorded this podcast and I won because I used the Tale of Tinuviel yet again. So that's it for this week. Thanks for listening to The Pulp Writer Show. I hope you found the show useful. If you enjoyed the podcast, please leave a review on your podcasting platform of choice. Stay safe, stay healthy, and see you all next week.

Fingolfin, king of the Noldor, urges the people of Beleriand to unite in battle against Morgoth, but few heed his call. Morgoth launches an all-out assault, sending rivers of fire through the northern lands and massive armies of dragons, Balrogs, and orcs, thus beginning the fourth great battle, Dagor Bragollach, “the Battle of Sudden Flame”. Fingolfin, seeing that Dorthonion is lost, flies to the very doors of Anbgand and challenges Morgoth to single combat. Three friends read and react to the greatest story you've never heard — the Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien. 00:55 Greg reads pages 150-154 from the Silmarillion, 2nd Edition 19:12 Recap 20:29 Discussion "Then Fingolfin beheld (as it seemed to him) the utter ruin of the Noldor, and the defeat beyond redress of all their houses; and filled with wrath and despair he mounted upon Rochallor his great horse and rode forth alone, and none might restrain him. He passed over Dor-nu-Fauglith like a wind amid the dust, and all that beheld his onset fled in amaze, thinking that Oromë himself was come: for a great madness of rage was upon him, so that his eyes shone like the eyes of the Valar. Thus he came alone to Angband's gates, and he sounded his horn, and smote once more upon the brazen doors, and challenged Morgoth to come forth to single combat. And Morgoth came." ⁠⁠Watch this Episode on YouTube⁠⁠ Send feedback to beforethefellowship@gmail.com Follow us as we follow Tolkien: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TWITTER⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠DISCORD⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ The Rings of Power comes to Amazon, but nothing compares to the real story JRR Tolkien wrote.

Unter neuem Namen Morgoth versammelte Melkor erneut alle Diener des Bösen um sich. Mit ihnen zog er nach Angband und baute die gigantischen Hallen und Verliese der Festung wieder auf. Als Morgoth von den Elben erfuhr, die in Beleriand lebten, entschloss er sich, sie mit einem schnellen Schlag zu zerschmettern.Hier findest du alle Infos und Rabatte!Der Podcast ist unter der Lizenz CC BY-SA 3.0 verfügbar.Der Artikel wurde redaktionell überarbeitet.Zum Artikel: MelkorProduziert von Schønlein Media Cover-Artwork von Amadeus E.

Morgoth sends his armies to attack the Noldor who succeed in driving back the attacking orcs. Fëanor pursues the retreating forces, hoping to find Morgoth himself. As he presses forward, he is surrounded by Morgoth's forces, and is attacked by Gothmog, Lord of the Balrogs.

Tolkien. 00:42 Dan reads pages 106-108 from the Silmarillion, 2nd Edition 10:40 Recap 11:44 Discussion "For Fëanor, in his wrath against the Enemy, would not halt, but pressed on behind the remnant of the Orcs, thinking so to come at Morgoth himself: and he laughed aloud as he wielded his sword, rejoicing that he had dared the wrath of the Valar and the evils of the road, that he might see the hour of his vengeance. Nothing did he know of Angband or the great strength of defence that Morgoth had so swiftly prepared: but even had he known it would not have deterred him, for he was fey, consumed by the flame of his own wrath."

The Valar mourn the loss of the Two Trees, and Fëanor's corruption. They save one flower from Telperion and one fruit from Laurelin; and they work together to use these to create the Moon and the Sun. The sun rises in the west just as Fingolfin and his host reach Middle-Earth. Three friends read and react to the greatest story you've never heard — the Silmarillion by J.R.R.

Then indeed Morgoth was dismayed, and he descended into the uttermost depths of Angband, and withdrew his servants, sending forth great reek and dark cloud to hide his land from the light of the Day-star."

Ungoliant and Morgoth make their way toward Angband, his old fortress. She demands that Morgoth fulfill his promise, so he feeds her many of the gems that he has stolen; but he refuses to concede the Silmarils. So Ungoliant sends out her webs. Three friends read and react to the greatest story you've never heard — the Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien. 00:41 Cameron reads pages 80-82 from the Silmarillion, 2nd Edition 8:40 Summary 9:23 Discussion "'Blackheart!' she said. 'I have done thy bidding. But I hunger still.' 'What wouldst thou have more?' said Morgoth. 'Dost thou desire all the world for thy belly? I did not vow to give thee that. I am its Lord.' 'Not so much,' said Ungoliant. 'But thou hast a great treasure from Formenos; I will have all that. Yea, with both hands thou shalt give it'. Then perforce Morgoth surrendered to her the gems that he bore with him, one by one and grudgingly; and she devoured them, and their beauty perished from the world. Huger and darker yet grew Ungoliant, but her lust was unsated. 'With one hand thou givest,' she said; 'with the left only. Open thy right hand...'"

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we begin a new series on 1980's seminal and genre-naming title, Rogue. We set the game in time and talk about what constitutes the genre before diving into some particulars. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: A few runs Issues covered: buying the game in a box, being disappointed in the ASCII, being turned off by procedural games, the differences in later games, the lore of the game, playing on a mainframe, the roots of so many games in text format, a top 50 achievement in games, the elements of the Rogue-like, procedural generation, inventory, randomized items, permadeath, getting over the hurdles in types of games, a chain reaction of bad things, clicking with a specific experience, simulating the rogue-like, a long shadow, playing to get a feel, being terrified of letters, trying things at random, a voyage of discovery, knowledge, renaming everything, consistent descriptions, thinking about strategy, the cumbersome bow mechanics, more depth than expected, the possibilities of emergence, anecdote factory, "wait, there are bear traps?" Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: Adventure, Atari 2600, Colossal Cave Adventure, Dungeons & Dragons, Egghead Software, Moria, Nethack, Jamie Fristrom, ADOM, Angband, Zork, Infocom, Mystery House, On-Line Systems, Sierra Online, Ken and Roberta Williams, Hunt the Wumpus, Star Trek, Pac-Man, Battlezone, Missile Command, Space Invaders, Activision, Taito, LucasArts, Space Quest/King's Quest, Michael Toy, Glenn Wichman, Ken Arnold, DARPANET, World of Warcraft, Mario (series), Dark Souls, Rogue Legacy, Epyx, Spelunky, Oblivion, Morrowind, PSP/Vita, Andy Nealen, Diablo, Calamity Nolan, Dead Cells, Eggplant (podcast), mysterydip, Clint Hocking, Patrick Redding, Mark Garcia, Artimage, LostLevels, Kirk Hamilton, Aaron Evers.  Next time: Get that Amulet of Yendor!

Melkor (Morgoth) delves a fortress called Angband and makes some Balrogs. The Valar hold counsel. Should they intervene or wait for him to reveal himself?

Yet be sure of this: the hour approaches, and within this age our hope shall be revealed, and the Children shall awake. Shall we then leave the lands of their dwelling desolate and full of evil?

The Drúedain must have escaped Morgoth's Shadow; for their laughter and the laughter of Orcs are as different as is the light of Aman from the darkness of Angband; but we can't seen to escape the darkness of the world's most ridiculous and unnecessary lock and key mechanism in Amazon Prime Video's The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. Where were 500 horses hiding on three ships that should barely be able to hold 150 men? Who brought all that food to the celebration feast? Why does no one post guards to watch over anything in this show? How did Halbrand teleport to the middle of the forest? AND FOR THE LOVE OF THE VALAR IS THE HORSE OKAY???

But how long will Gondolin remain hidden, and, if it is discovered, can it withstand the onslaught of Angband's fury?QUOTE OF THE WEEK from The Silmarillion Chapter 20...The field was lost; but still Húrin and Huor and the remnant of the house of Haldor stood firm with Turgon of Gondolin, and the hosts of Morgoth could not yet win the Pass of Sirion. Then Húrin spoke to Turgon, saying: ‘Go now, lord, while time is! For in you lives the last hope of the Eldar, and while Gondolin stands Morgoth shall still know fear in his heart.' But Turgon answered: ‘Not long now can Gondolin be hidden; and being discovered it must fall.' Then Huor spoke and said: ‘Yet if it stands but a little while, then out of your house shall come the hope of Elves and Men. This I say to you, lord, with the eyes of death: though we part here for ever, and I shall not look on your white walls again, from you and from me a new star shall arise.

Join us for an in-depth discussion as we explore "Of Túrin Turambar", the 21st chapter of JRR Tolkien's The Silmarillion. Learn about the tragic tale of the ill-fated son of Húrin, one of the Great Tales of Middle-earth's First Age!WATCH THE VIDEO» https://youtu.be/ekQQ69g6J8E EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS » Kaitlyn of Tea with Tolkien, John R, Jacob Lockham, John H, Scotchy BoboThe tale of Túrin Turambar is a long one, rivaling “Of Beren and Lúthien” and “Akallabêth” as the longest chapter in The Silmarillion. It is also quite tragic, as we shall see. After giving a bit of background on Túrin's ancestry, it picks up where the last chapter left off, with Túrin's father Húrin imprisoned in Angband. The chapter then focuses in on Túrin's life.Like “Of Beren and Lúthien”, this chapter summarizes one of the Great Tales of the First Age. In fact, many of you may already realize that The Children of Húrin is a novel length telling of this story! We look forward to a chapter-by-chapter discussion of The Children of Húrin in 2023.QUOTE OF THE WEEK » "Then Glaurung died, and the veil of his malice was taken from [Nienor], and she remembered all the days of her life.

Episode Notes The siege is broken...who will stand before the might of Angband? It's Fingolfin. Fingolfin will do this thing. I'm sure that works out great for him. Also this Sauron guy seems neat.

In this episode, we explore Morgoth's breaking of the Siege of Angband, the most cataclysmic battle we've yet seen since the Noldor returned to Middle Earth. We also see the incredible fight of Fingolfin, High King of the Noldor, and Morgoth. We'll also talk about how the History of Arda will be shifting gears after this episode in anticipation of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. Thanks as always for listening and supporting this show! The Lowest DeepA supernatural horror fiction series.Listen on: SpotifySupport the show

Wir hatten für die Unterstützer bei Steady/Patreon eigentlich eine "Wusstet ihr eigentlich …?"-Folge zu Rogue geplant, doch dann fiel uns auf, dass ein großer Teil der Sachen, die noch unbenutzt in den Recherchedokumenten standen, sich mit der Geschichte des Genres der Roguelikes beschäftigen. Daher haben wir entschieden, eine kurze Geschichte der frühen Roguelikes zu erzählen. Shout-out: Christopher Bär hat maßgeblich zur Recherche beigetragen. Hier sind die Spiele in der der Reihenfolge, in der wir sie besprechen: Beneath Apple Manor (1978) Hack (1982) NetHack (1987) Moria (1983) Angband (1990) Sword Of Fargoal (1982) Fatal Labyrinth / Dragon Crystal (1990) Mystery Dungeon (1993) Ancient Domains of Mystery (1994) Dungeon Crawl (1995) Weitere Folgen dieser Art und massenhaft andere Formate gibt es auf Patreon und Steady für Unterstützer ab ca. 5 Euro monatlich.

Silm Film 5-35 (07/29/21) Corey Olsen and Dave Kale are joined by Nick Palazzo to continue discussing Episode 10. While the story of Aredhel's death is told in detail by Tolkien, the topic of this session is the most controversial adaptation choice of Season 5 - Fingolfin's vision that will lead to his fruitless big push against Angband and his eventual duel with Morgoth at the end of the season. An appearance by a surprise character and the influence of Men on the story make the final form of this episode new to everyone. forums.signumuniversity.org

Produzir um disco tem muitas etapas e demanda um planejamento meticuloso para se tornar um processo produtivo e viável. Hoje em dia, temos tecnologia pra se produzir grandes disco em estúdios e/ou em casa. O Angband não teve opção a não trazer o seu projeto para um homestudio e o resultado é a representação do Power Prog Metal iraniano. Vem conhecer essa banda e essa cena no episódio de hoje.

Back in Ilmarin, Celebrimbor and Fëanor present Feredir with the black, sister swords reforged into Angwedel, or "Iron of the Bound Star." Mor-lomin experiences the true power of the Flame of Arnor using his staff. Ezellendur is donning all three silmarils in the crown, Angrî. Okrin learns that the Mallet of Tombo, that they rescued from Angband, is essential in making the prophecy of Mandos come to fruition. And Burin learns that he is heading home to Gundabad to find the second binding chain, Angainor.

The party exits the Great Gates of Angband only to find Gothmog, the Lord of Balrogs waiting for them outside. A grand battle ensues, whereby Gothmog finds it easiest to chuck the heroes one by one into lava. Even still, good prevails in the end, and the party heads back to Ilmarin. 

The heroes learn that Littleheart, Imin, and Alatar the Blue have been kidnapped and taken to Thangorodrim. Varda informs the group that Angband, the home of Thangorodrim, is the most evil part of Arda, and that traveling there will likely change each character permanently. Once at the Great Gate, they are told by the sentry that inside the gate, "Your strengths become your weaknesses, your weaknesses become amplified, and each portal requires one of you to succumb to the virtues of the Dark Lord. They are: Greed, Gluttony, Anger, Vanity, and Obedience."

Our 2019 end-of-year mega-spectacular Also: The best and worst games we played for the podcast this year

What were Morgoth's bud holes like? What happens when you mix Titanic, 2001, and WarGames with a sprinkle of terrible decisions? Answers to these questions, plus shilling for Disney, loving lamps, and the glorious return of Dash "The Man" Rendar.

There are tales of Middle-earth from times long before The Lord of the Rings. The story told in this book is set in the great country that lay beyond the Grey Havens in the West: lands where Treebeard once walked, but which were drowned in the great cataclysm that ended the First Age of the World. In that remote time, Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in the vast fortress of Angband, the Hells of Iron, in the North; and the tragedy of Túrin and his sister Nienor unfolded within the shadow of the fear of Angband and the war waged by Morgoth against the lands and secret cities of the Elves. Their brief and passionate lives were dominated by the elemental hatred that Morgoth bore them as the children of Húrin, the man who had dared to defy and to scorn him to his face. Against them he sent his most formidable servant, Glaurung, a powerful spirit in the form of a huge wingless dragon of fire. Into this story of brutal conquest and flight, of forest hiding-places and pursuit, of resistance with lessening hope, the Dark Lord and the Dragon enter in direly articulate form. Sardonic and mocking, Glaurung manipulated the fates of Túrin and Nienor by lies of diabolic cunning and guile, and the curse of Morgoth was fulfilled. The earliest versions of this Tolkien story go back to the end of the First World War and the years that followed. But long afterwards, when The Lord of the Rings was finished, he revised and greatly enlarged it, enhancing complexities of motive and character. It became the dominant story in his later work on Middle-earth. But he could not bring it to a final and finished form. In this book, Christopher Tolkien has constructed, after long study of the manuscripts, a coherent narrative without any editorial invention.

Estimados adoradores de Erù : No hay nada mejor para volver con energía al trabajo después de unos días de relax que una buena partida de rol en la primera edad. Los de la forja os traemos nuestra partida de MERP « La Fuga de Angband» ambientada en la primera edad de la Tierra media poco después de la Dragor Bragollach, batalla con la que Morgoth disperso a los príncipes de los Noldor y se enseñoreo de la mayoría de Beleriand. Miel y Faj se ponen en la piel de dos jóvenes Elfos que son capturados y condenados a la esclavitud de los trabajos forzados en la prisión fortaleza de Angband, donde la maldad corre por doquier y la vida de los Eldar no vale nada. Esta partida de rol es independiente y no forma parte de ninguna de nuestras sagas , aunque si esta estrechamente relacionada con «Los bastardos de Feanor» ya que los protagonistas son de la misma estirpe y familia. 180 minutos de rol para escuchar y vivir en primera persona en el mundo de fantasía creado por J.R.R.Tolkien. ¡ No te lo pierdas ! Esperamos vuestros comentarios y criticas. El equipo esta formado por Victor Arenas ( XOJ ) a la direccion e Ismael Juan ( MIEL ) y Ruben Fajardo ( FAJI ) comentando la jugada.

In this book, Christopher Tolkien has constructed, after long study of the manuscripts, a coherent narrative without any editorial invention.

As we get closer to discussing the Season 3 episode structure, we need to discuss some of the creative challenges we will face over the upcoming season and answer questions like: Why do the elves decide to live in a cave? Is ice the only dangerous thing in the Helcaraxë? And what exactly is Angband like?

In Chapter 22 of The Silmarillion, Húrin is released from Angband to finish his son’s work of destroying everything he touches, and his visit to Thingol starts a chain reaction leading to war between Doriath and the Dwarves of Nogrod. As Menegroth falls, the Silmaril comes through the hands of Beren and Lúthien to their son Dior, and is noticed by seven guys we haven’t heard from in a while. Plus, a look at Tolkien's explanation of the kinship of Celeborn and Nimloth tells us how to get to Sesame Street.

In Chapter 18 of The Silmarillion, Morgoth breaks the Siege of Angband with a sneak attack, beginning the Battle of Sudden Flame. As the fires die down, Fingolfin responds by challenging the Dark Lord to single combat. Meanwhile, displaced survivors of the Edain start down paths that will forever intertwine the fates of Men and Elves. Plus, Tolkien's best-known villain moves into the fortress next door with his annoying pets.

Cuando Melkor robó los Silmarils creados por el elfo Fëanor, provocó el mayor éxodo élfico conocido, el éxodo de gran parte de los Noldor, la tribu a la que pertenecía, desde Valinor hasta la Tierra Media. Una vez allí, los Noldor se encontraron con aquellos Teleri, elfos también, que habían decidido permanecer en Beleriand y no viajaron hasta Valinor. Aparecen en este momento los grandes reinos élficos, que crecieron y medraron hasta la llegada de los humanos y mucho tiempo después, conteniendo la mayor parte del tiempo a Melkor en su fortaleza de Angband. Pero la paz y la prosperidad de los elfos no podía durar eternamente. En una gran alianza sin precedentes, elfos, humanos y enanos atacaron la fortaleza de Angband. Pero la batalla tuvo un giro inesperado, cuando un grupo de humanos orientales traicionó a la Alianza, y finalmente Melkor se alzó victorioso destruyendo al ejército aliado. Esta fue la Quinta Batalla de Beleriand, conocida como Nírnaeth Arnoediad, o la Batalla de las Lágrimas Innumerables. A partir de este momento es Melkor quien domina el panorama de la Tierra Media en esta edad, con la resistencia de los últimos grandes reinos élficos: Doriath, Nargothrond. y Gondolin. Prepárense pues amigos para conocer los secretos y las reliquias de los antiguos pobladores de la Tierra Media, viajemos junto a elfos y hombres al corazón de los relatos del maestro Tolkien y contemplemos con asombro las maravillas de la Roca Escondida, y el heroico destino de los pobladores de la poderosa Gondolin.

A great feast is held in the conclusion of Chapter 13 of The Silmarillion, but not all is well in Beleriand, and two Elf-princes receive important messages about taking action before it’s too late. The Noldor successfully place Angband under a siege that will last for centuries, but Morgoth has a new secret weapon in development. A question from Barliman’s Bag gives us a chance to revisit Fëanor - and Tolkien’s own thoughts about the character - one last time, and we stretch the limits of pop culture reference.

Recorded on August 8th with Brian Fife, James Fingal, Thomas Westberg and the crickets in Brian’s basement. Brian, Jim and Tom talk about grind. Grind is eventually defined as time or effort that isn’t enjoyable, that must be spent in a game reach an objective, gain an item, or an achievement. Some may look fondly (in retrospect) on past labors that led to high achievement in a game - but often we look back at time we spend grinding and wish we had done something different. Grind doesn’t always have to be a bad thing. It’s sometimes nice to be able to kill time with a game – just like junk television. Persistent/MMO games also allow you to upgrade your character status while you do this.

After discovering roguelikes through playthroughs of The Binding of Isaac and Dungeons of Dredmor, Ethan talks with Josh about the history of this unforgiving video game genre and discovers that he’s only scratched the surface. The Cursed Checkpoint is a topical video game podcast focused on discussions and interviews about a single video game, genre, news headline, or industry story. It features a rotating cast of up to 3 members of the Horrible Night writing staff and/or video game industry professionals. Oh come on, Isaac, suck it up. Episode Background Josh and Ethan enjoy punishing themselves when it comes to gaming and roguelikes seem to be the perfect type of game to do just that. From randomly generated levels to perma death, they discuss their affections for the genre and talk through the history of roguelikes and the games that best exemplify what it takes to be “like Rogue.” This episode is recommended for anyone who has heard the term “roguelike” but has no idea what the genre entails, fans of The Binding of Isaac that are looking to try related games, and fans of roguelikes in general.
