In this episode of Nerd Legion, we dive into 'The Sword and the Sorcerer' (1982), a surprising hit from the 1980s fantasy craze. We explore the film's strengths, including its impressive special effects, compelling acting, and memorable cinematography. We also discuss its humorous tonal inconsistencies and the charm of its goofy yet creative elements, such as the unique three-bladed sword. Director Albert Pyun shows how to maximize each penny of a small budget while lead actor Lee Horsley demonstrates surprising acting chops as Talon in a difficult, mostly unlikeable role. Additionally, comparisons are made with other iconic films and characters of the era, including 'Conan the Barbarian' and 'Dragonslayer,' signaling its relevance and impact on the fantasy genre. Stay tuned for our verdict on whether this cult classic is worth a watch today, and get ready for our coverage of 'Andor' in the next episode.

In the war-torn lands of Sindar, city-states clash for dominance. The once-mighty Gammalast Magocracy stirs in the West.

Join Nerd Legion as we revisit the iconic 1982 film, 'Conan the Barbarian' as part of our 1980s fantasy marathon. This episode delves into the movie that launched Arnold Schwarzenegger's illustrious career, exploring its lasting legacy, the craftsmanship behind its production, and its impact on the fantasy genre. From its highly atmospheric soundtrack by Basil Poledouris to its stunning sets and John Milius' direction, we cover all that makes this film a timeless classic. The discussion also touches on the performances of James Earl Jones and other cast members, contrasts it with other 1980s sword and sorcery films, and reflects on Conan's influence on contemporary fantasy cinema. 

SKREEEEEAAWWWWWW! Following on the sandaled heels of “The Sword and the Sorcerer” and “Conan the Barbarian,” both of which mined a similar sword-and-sorcery milieu, “The Beastmaster” debuted in theaters on Friday, August 19, 1982. The world would be forever changed. On this episode I am joined by multiple guests all...

Wet Change somehow managed to survive the Council of Twelve unscathed, despite Tyler accidentally voting for the Cardinal instead of himself and Shadow Nemesis trying to feed the dark lords pizza pockets. They departed for the Cardinal's realm, and as they travelled, they found they had all gained new powers and abilities. Attempting to learn more about the dark lord they were soon to encounter, Del summoned a ghost of the Cardinal's previous victim, which was going well until New Rogue accidentally exorcised him. With little information about the realm ahead, can the troupe befriend the Cardinal before he kills them all? Featuring players Tyler Hewitt, Del Borovic, Guy Bradford, and Adam McNamara, and Dungeon Master Ryan LaPlante. Jesters of Ravenloft streams live every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/dumbdumbdice) Enjoying Jesters of Ravenloft?- Consider becoming a Patron of Dumb-Dumbs & Dice for as little as $1 a month and gain access to a ton of extra BTS fun(https://www.patreon.com/dumbdumbdice)- Buy merch on our website (https://dumbdumbdice.com/) - Watch us on YouTube (https://youtube.com/@dumbdumbdice) - Follow us on Instagram (https://instagram.com/dumbdumbdice) - Follow us on Facebook (https://facebook.com/dumbdumbdice)  Artwork by the brilliant Del Borovic - Website & Portfolio (https://delborovic.com/) - Twitter (https://twitter.com/deltastic)  Theme song by Sound Gallery by Dmitry Taras- YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@soundgallerybydmitrytaras)- Pixabay (https://pixabay.com/music/fantasy-dreamy-childrens-dark-mysterious-halloween-night-scary-creepy-spooky-horror-music-116551/)

As the meeting of the Council of Twelve approached, the troupe strategized with Ezra. Del suggested they should each vote to free themselves to avoid any suspicion that they were working with the god, Shadow Nemesis managed to store his axe without activating its curse, New Rogue realized he hadn't had much fun in his short life, so Tyler found some games to play, and Ezra took Del aside to tell her of powers that Lucretia had bequeathed to her in her will. Finally, the other dark lords arrived and the troupe was shocked to see the genie, Severian Wolfe, among them. Can they make it through the vote without arousing suspicion? Featuring players Tyler Hewitt, Del Borovic, Guy Bradford, and Adam McNamara, and Dungeon Master Ryan LaPlante. Jesters of Ravenloft streams live every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/dumbdumbdice) Enjoying Jesters of Ravenloft?- Consider becoming a Patron of Dumb-Dumbs & Dice for as little as $1 a month and gain access to a ton of extra BTS fun(https://www.patreon.com/dumbdumbdice)- Buy merch on our website (https://dumbdumbdice.com/) - Watch us on YouTube (https://youtube.com/@dumbdumbdice) - Follow us on Instagram (https://instagram.com/dumbdumbdice) - Follow us on Facebook (https://facebook.com/dumbdumbdice)  Artwork by the brilliant Del Borovic - Website & Portfolio (https://delborovic.com/) - Twitter (https://twitter.com/deltastic)  Theme song by Sound Gallery by Dmitry Taras- YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@soundgallerybydmitrytaras)- Pixabay (https://pixabay.com/music/fantasy-dreamy-childrens-dark-mysterious-halloween-night-scary-creepy-spooky-horror-music-116551/)

This '80s flick is one of our generation's defining fantasy films. Set in the harsh, mythic world of the Hyborian Age, the story follows an epic warrior on his quest for vengeance against the sinister Thulsa Doom. This necromancer destroyed his village and left him an orphan. Upon its release, the film garnered mixed reviews—praised for its stunning production design and thrilling action, but criticized for its heavy dose of violence and subpar acting performances. Despite this, it was a box-office hit and found lasting success in home video markets. So grab your steel weapon, prepare for battle, and watch out for snake arrows as Tim Williams and guest co-hosts Gerry D from "Totally Rad Podcast" and Laramy Wells from "Moving Panels Podcast" discuss “Conan the Barbarian” from 1982 on this episode of the 80s Flick Flashback.Here are some additional behind-the-scenes trivia we were unable to cover in this episode:Arnold Schwarzenegger had retired from professional bodybuilding after winning the 1975 Mr. Olympia contest. While training for his role in "Conan the Barbarian," he got back into such good shape that he decided to enter the 1980 Mr. Olympia contest. He won the contest, although there was significant controversy over whether he deserved the victory.The brief scene featuring an older Conan sitting on the throne of Aquilonia was filmed in 1980, before most of the other filming. This footage was initially intended to serve as a trailer, but John Milius decided to use it as the film's opening sequence. Following concerns from the producers, the scene was moved to the end of the film.Sources:Wikipedia, IMDB, BoxOfficeMojohttps://movieweb.com/facts-about-conan-the-barbarian-you-didnt-know/Some sections were composed by ChatGPTWe'd love to hear your thoughts on our podcast!

Having broken free of the never-ending loop of psychological torture, the troupe finally found themselves face to face with Ezra! Del continued to mourn the loss of her girlfriend and patron, Lucretia, New Rogue fell into a restful, deep sleep in the arms of his god, Shadow Nemesis tried but failed to hide his lingering distrust of Ezra, and Tyler was relieved to at last have the opportunity to ask questions of the person responsible for bringing them to Ravenloft. Wet Change has become a band of dark lords, at great personal loss, but can they survive this next phase of Ezra's escape plan? Featuring players Tyler Hewitt, Del Borovic, Guy Bradford, and Adam McNamara, and Dungeon Master Ryan LaPlante. Jesters of Ravenloft streams live every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/dumbdumbdice) Enjoying Jesters of Ravenloft?- Consider becoming a Patron of Dumb-Dumbs & Dice for as little as $1 a month and gain access to a ton of extra BTS fun(https://www.patreon.com/dumbdumbdice)- Buy merch on our website (https://dumbdumbdice.com/) - Watch us on YouTube (https://youtube.com/@dumbdumbdice) - Follow us on Instagram (https://instagram.com/dumbdumbdice) - Follow us on Facebook (https://facebook.com/dumbdumbdice)  Artwork by the brilliant Del Borovic - Website & Portfolio (https://delborovic.com/) - Twitter (https://twitter.com/deltastic)  Theme song by Sound Gallery by Dmitry Taras- YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@soundgallerybydmitrytaras)- Pixabay (https://pixabay.com/music/fantasy-dreamy-childrens-dark-mysterious-halloween-night-scary-creepy-spooky-horror-music-116551/)

Ralph Macchio spent over four decades at Marvel Comics, serving as a writer, editor, and eventually Executive Editor during some of the company's most transformative periods. Beginning his career in the 1970s as an assistant to Roy Thomas, Ralph went on to edit many of Marvel's flagship titles including Daredevil, Thor, and The Avengers, overseeing Frank Miller's revolutionary run on Daredevil, Walter Simonson's legendary work on Thor, and collaborating with legendary artists like John Buscema on Conan the Barbarian. In addition to his editorial work, Ralph wrote for several titles including Master of Kung Fu and Marvel Two-in-One. Throughout our conversation, Ralph shared fascinating behind-the-scenes stories from Marvel's history, offered insights into the evolution of the comic book industry from the Bronze Age through the modern era, and reflected on working with some of comics' greatest creators. Though largely retired from regular comic work now, Ralph occasionally contributes to special projects and historical retrospectives that draw on his unparalleled experience in the industry.  Support the show

Did you know that the most famous Spartan poet may not have been from Sparta? He also may not have written many of the poems that bear his name. This is yet another example of the weird collection of misconceptions known as the "Spartan Mirage" that have shaped the popular understanding of the ancient Greek city. According to some ancient sources the Spartans were incorruptible, never took bribes, and equally divided their land among the elite Spartiates. Is any of that true? What about the Spartan's famed educational system? Should we believe tales of Spartan youths fighting through an oppressively brutal childhood warrior training? Tune-in and find out how Klingons, Conan the Barbarian, and a childish form of government all play a role in the story.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

EPISODE 195: An American Original! – No apologies, no half-measures, all fire. (ft. Joe Buttice) Episode Description: This week, Jason is joined by Joe Buttice (Reel Spoilers) to lock and load a ranking of five films tied to the myth, the man, the cigar-smoking cinema warlord: John Milius. Whether writing frontier survival epics or directing operatic war fantasies, Milius brought a thunderous, unapologetic voice to American film. Strap in for manifest destiny, surfboard theology, Cimmerian steel, and teenage guerrilla warfare. Films Ranked: Jeremiah Johnson (1972, writer) – The loner as legend in a snow-covered survivalist western. Dillinger (1973) – Milius's directorial debut, mixing gangster cool with mythic Americana. Big Wednesday (1978) – A lyrical, wave-soaked ode to brotherhood and the end of an era. Conan the Barbarian (1982) – Barbarism, Nietzsche, and epic vengeance in the Hyborian Age.

Butthole (Ryan LaPlante, @theryanlaplante) unknowingly turned his room into a magical Sanctuary, Juniper (Laura Hamstra, @lauraehamstra) had a break through with Cormium during their talk, and Quinny (Tyler Hewitt, @Tyler_Hewitt) used his potions and masks to hide everything charming about Cormium from Butthole. But what will happen when the prisoner talks with the king?

#craftbeer #boniver #michaeljordan We review the incredible drama that is America's top casual restaurant chains and why Applebees deserves worse. Also, director Zach Cregger is back with a creepy peek at his followup to Barbarian, Weapons, as well as a new live-action Resident Evil movie in the works. Speaking of horror, Ryan Gosling is apparently producing a remake of the beloved 80s sci-fi creeper, Killer Clowns from Outer Space. Finally, we end with a debate as old as time: who's the GOAT? With criticism being lobbed at Michael Jordan's claim, we discuss if Lebron went and ruined the fun for everyone. Cheers! Beer of the Week: Fat Orange Cat Brew Co.

The troupe fought the temptation of get pulled into the nightmare loop of the new dark lords. Del continued to live Lucretia's last moments over and over until DDX and Rumpleforeskin intervened and tried to offer some perspective, New Rogue nearly killed Del in an effort to provide emotional support, and Tyler remained stuck in a shame spiral, convinced that the only way to keep the Agents at bay was to continue to play his part in Lucretia's demise. Shadow Nemesis and DDX devised an elaborate scheme to pull Del and Tyler out, but couldn't quite convince them. Can they escape the loop before they all become trapped forever? Featuring players Tyler Hewitt, Del Borovic, Guy Bradford, and Adam McNamara, and Dungeon Master Ryan LaPlante. Jesters of Ravenloft streams live every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/dumbdumbdice) Enjoying Jesters of Ravenloft?- Consider becoming a Patron of Dumb-Dumbs & Dice for as little as $1 a month and gain access to a ton of extra BTS fun(https://www.patreon.com/dumbdumbdice)- Buy merch on our website (https://dumbdumbdice.com/) - Watch us on YouTube (https://youtube.com/@dumbdumbdice) - Follow us on Instagram (https://instagram.com/dumbdumbdice) - Follow us on Facebook (https://facebook.com/dumbdumbdice)  Artwork by the brilliant Del Borovic - Website & Portfolio (https://delborovic.com/) - Twitter (https://twitter.com/deltastic)  Theme song by Sound Gallery by Dmitry Taras- YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@soundgallerybydmitrytaras)- Pixabay (https://pixabay.com/music/fantasy-dreamy-childrens-dark-mysterious-halloween-night-scary-creepy-spooky-horror-music-116551/)

The troupe finally solved the riddle of the realm! New Rogue made a deal for the genie to honour the intention of their wishes and set him free, Shadow Nemesis was delighted when the Prince was finally “sausaged” and executed by Del, and Del was horrified to discover she had caused a cataclysm by killing two dark lords herself. To prevent catastrophe, Tyler was forced to execute Del's patron and girlfriend, the Succubus Lucretia, only to leave them trapped in the nightmare of Lucretia's final moments as they both became dark lords. Can the rest of the troupe free them from their hell loop and escape back to earth? Featuring players Tyler Hewitt, Del Borovic, Guy Bradford, and Adam McNamara, and Dungeon Master Ryan LaPlante. Jesters of Ravenloft streams live every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/dumbdumbdice) Enjoying Jesters of Ravenloft?- Consider becoming a Patron of Dumb-Dumbs & Dice for as little as $1 a month and gain access to a ton of extra BTS fun(https://www.patreon.com/dumbdumbdice)- Buy merch on our website (https://dumbdumbdice.com/) - Watch us on YouTube (https://youtube.com/@dumbdumbdice) - Follow us on Instagram (https://instagram.com/dumbdumbdice) - Follow us on Facebook (https://facebook.com/dumbdumbdice)  Artwork by the brilliant Del Borovic - Website & Portfolio (https://delborovic.com/) - Twitter (https://twitter.com/deltastic)  Theme song by Sound Gallery by Dmitry Taras- YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@soundgallerybydmitrytaras)- Pixabay (https://pixabay.com/music/fantasy-dreamy-childrens-dark-mysterious-halloween-night-scary-creepy-spooky-horror-music-116551/)

How much did we love Barbarian? Go back and listen to the episode and check it out. You can probably guess that we are very interested in the new movie from its writer-director. And if we already weren't, the creepy website would easily suck us in. The Hell House LLC franchise is an underrated series that are excellent examples of found footage horror. The news that the final installment comes out later this year is certainly excit- wait. It's not going to be found footage?Anyone who has ever spent any amount of time on YouTube has eventually stumbled across a video about the greatest game show scandals of all time. And the Press Your Luck incident is one of the most infamous. After memorizing the board, the former ice cream truck driver went on a record breaking run.The Luckiest Man in America chronicles the episode and everything surrounding it. It is a character driven story that is more about the people involved than the actual scandal itself. The film uses great performances, aesthetics, and an overall tone to tell its story. If only it had more Whammys and less Johnny Knoxville.Call of the Void sets itself up to be a crazy ride from its awesome opening. It is an atmosphere that lasts the entire runtime. It is a shame the filmmakers decided to go all in with being creepy and totally decided to ignore the writing. It is a great example of what happens when being vague and weird is more important than actually telling a story. Adventures in Movies! is a part of the Morbidly Beautiful Podcast Network.

Not sure which D&D class to start with? We break down the best and worst picks for new DnD players—featuring confused Wizards, exploding Artificers, and the ever-reliable Barbarian. Summary In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, the hosts explore which Dungeons & Dragons classes are best suited for new players. With humor, experience, and a healthy dose of debate, they walk through the ins and outs of each class—from the accessible Fighter to the complicated Wizard—highlighting which choices provide a smooth introduction to tabletop RPGs and which might send new players reaching for the Player's Handbook (and aspirin). The discussion ranges from the brute-force appeal of the Barbarian to the arcane intricacies of spellcasters like the Sorcerer and Warlock. Along the way, the hosts consider how party composition, game length, and mechanical complexity should influence character selection, and they sprinkle in some banter about drink preferences to keep things lively. Whether you're a first-time adventurer or helping someone roll their first character, this episode provides a thoughtful—and often funny—guide to starting strong. Key Takeaways: General Advice for New Players: Class complexity varies dramatically and should be a key consideration for beginners. New players benefit greatly from having experienced players at the table. It's okay to change classes as players get more comfortable with the game. Simpler classes help players stay engaged without feeling overwhelmed. Class-by-Class Breakdown: Artificer Highly versatile, but too complex for most beginners. Heavy reliance on magic items and systems mastery. Barbarian Excellent starting class due to simplicity and durability. High hit points make them forgiving for mistakes. Bard Complex with many strategic spell choices. Spell traps can confuse new players. Cleric Highly versatile with a strong role in the party. Forgiving due to the ability to change prepared spells easily. Druid Mechanically rich but overwhelming for new players. Requires understanding Wild Shape and extensive spellcasting. Fighter The most beginner-friendly class. Few pitfalls and highly customizable. Monk Fun but mechanically challenging. Not recommended for brand new players. Paladin Durable and straightforward in combat. Introduces both martial and spellcasting elements in a manageable way. Ranger Offers utility and moderate complexity. Flexible due to spell-switching mechanics. Rogue Stealthy and skillful with few mechanical traps. A solid choice for new players who want to be clever. Sorcerer Straightforward focus on damage, but can suffer from decision overload. Can be beginner-friendly if spells are chosen carefully. Warlock Simple core mechanics, but pact and spell choices can create analysis paralysis. Very dependent on the build and playstyle. Wizard One of the most complex classes due to extensive spell lists. Power spike at level 5 (Fireball) can feel rewarding. Requires patience and careful spell management. Bonus Insight: The 2024 D&D rules are referred to as “aggressively fine,” hinting at minor changes that still preserve class identity and structure. The type of campaign and its length can heavily impact how enjoyable a class feels to play. A player's drink preference might not help you pick a class—but it will make the table more fun.

Our heroes are struggling with the Cormium problem!

Welcome back to Nerd Legion! Join us as we continue our 1980s fantasy film marathon with a review of the infamous Italian-made classic, 1982's Ator the Fighting Eagle directed by Joe D'Amato. This episode dives into the movie's hilarious plot, terrible fight scenes, and unintentionally funny moments. We discuss the strange prophecy, the bizarre love story involving adopted siblings, the laughable special effects, the sub-par performance of Miles O'Keefe, and the unexpected joy of watching a very bad movie that's somehow endlessly entertaining. Quickly filmed after the release and success of Conan the Barbarian, Ator provides great entertainment as a rushed B Movie attempting to capitalize on the popularity of sword-and-sorcery films of the 80s. Don't miss out on the fun, and stay tuned for more episodes featuring our take on other 1980s fantasy films!

Multiple times a week. Once a week. Every other week. Once a month. Once every several months. We've referenced how frequency of play can really alter how you run the game, how the story flows, etc. But, our longtime listener, Dr. DM, has brought up how real life has really gotten in the way of scheduling their usually weekly games and how it has affected his confidence with running the game.In this episode, Tony, Chris, and Dave sit down to really delve deep into how frequency of play affects how you run the game, and even what type of game you run. Along the way, they offer their eight best tips and hacks to help whenever life alters your gaming schedule.1:45 Our long-time listener (and now co-DM!) Dr. DM, catches us up on his seafaring campaign we discussed in episode 148, as well as his question.5:56 Frequency of play is going to change how you might want to play with certain aspects of the game, like how long it took for DM Tony's legendary Barbarian to read the Manual of Gainful Exercise.7:45 Tip#1: If you've got the time between sessions, use it to focus on your players goals.10:05 Tip #2: What is your usual frequency of play? If you start monthly, it won't be as jarring if you're used to playing weekly, and now it's a month.11:35 Tip #3: Try to end your session on a completed note. And, if you can't, the beginning recap is your best friend.12:35 Tip #4: Be big and bold with your secrets, clues, and rumors when weeks have passed since your last game – No Sublety!14:15 We return to DM Tony's Barbarian, Hawk, and his quest to forge the Sword of Power in a once-a-month “Race Against Time” type of game.17:10 Tip #5: If you're worried that the time between games is letting your DM skills get rusty, start another game to keep “riding the bike.”19:35 Tip #6: Giving something like a quest to forge a legendary sword needs to be given its due, regardless of your frequency of play. Narrative side quests and LOTRs mechanic of “The Fellowship Phase” offer some options.30:30 DM Dave's tangent about a possible Star Wars campaign utilizing the West End d6 system.31:35 Tip #7: Game flow and frequency of play is going to change depending on how new or experienced your players are.33:25 Tip #8: How long should it take your players to accomplish things? As long as it needs to in your game and your frequency ofplay. DM Tony shares the story of DM Dave's dragonborn cleric, Bhim, trying to gain proficiency in the longsword.37:50 Final Thoughts.

The troupe emerged from their long rest. New Rogue failed to convince the genie that he would free him, and Tyler finally completed his wish, upon which all of his items appeared in his pockets and killed him instantly. After being revivified, Tyler pleaded with them all to forget the genie and let him face the Prince, and unintentionally wished Shadow Nemesis into agreeing. But they realized they couldn't use their now-un-damageable items and Tyler was permanently legless, so Del suggested she could be Tyler's champion instead. It seems hopeless, but could a solution lie with a genie who suddenly seems eager to make a deal for his freedom? Featuring players Tyler Hewitt, Del Borovic, Guy Bradford, and Adam McNamara, and Dungeon Master Ryan LaPlante. Jesters of Ravenloft streams live every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/dumbdumbdice) Enjoying Jesters of Ravenloft?- Consider becoming a Patron of Dumb-Dumbs & Dice for as little as $1 a month and gain access to a ton of extra BTS fun(https://www.patreon.com/dumbdumbdice)- Buy merch on our website (https://dumbdumbdice.com/) - Watch us on YouTube (https://youtube.com/@dumbdumbdice) - Follow us on Instagram (https://instagram.com/dumbdumbdice) - Follow us on Facebook (https://facebook.com/dumbdumbdice)  Artwork by the brilliant Del Borovic - Website & Portfolio (https://delborovic.com/) - Twitter (https://twitter.com/deltastic)  Theme song by Sound Gallery by Dmitry Taras- YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@soundgallerybydmitrytaras)- Pixabay (https://pixabay.com/music/fantasy-dreamy-childrens-dark-mysterious-halloween-night-scary-creepy-spooky-horror-music-116551/)

To the troupe's surprise and relief, the mists provided, allowing them all to take a full rest before facing the Prince. New Rogue was able to join in the planning instead of meditating alone, Del spoke with Lucretia about wanting to be seen and they imagined a life together in a beautiful mansion in Hell, and Shadow Nemesis worked on drafting unambiguous wishes, one of which would turn the Prince into a human sausage so that Del could execute him easily. Tyler still distrusted the genie, so they tried a simple wish to get his items back, but it didn't seem to work. Can the troupe outwit an immortal genie and find a shortcut to taking down a dark lord? Featuring players Tyler Hewitt, Del Borovic, Guy Bradford, and Adam McNamara, and Dungeon Master Ryan LaPlante. Jesters of Ravenloft streams live every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/dumbdumbdice) Enjoying Jesters of Ravenloft?- Consider becoming a Patron of Dumb-Dumbs & Dice for as little as $1 a month and gain access to a ton of extra BTS fun(https://www.patreon.com/dumbdumbdice)- Buy merch on our website (https://dumbdumbdice.com/) - Watch us on YouTube (https://youtube.com/@dumbdumbdice) - Follow us on Instagram (https://instagram.com/dumbdumbdice) - Follow us on Facebook (https://facebook.com/dumbdumbdice)  Artwork by the brilliant Del Borovic - Website & Portfolio (https://delborovic.com/) - Twitter (https://twitter.com/deltastic)  Theme song by Sound Gallery by Dmitry Taras- YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@soundgallerybydmitrytaras)- Pixabay (https://pixabay.com/music/fantasy-dreamy-childrens-dark-mysterious-halloween-night-scary-creepy-spooky-horror-music-116551/)
