Much like actual RPG's level 2 is kind of just there to space out level one and level three.Thumbnail by Jason Rumpff https://www.artstation.com/jrumpff64Support the showBlue Sky - https://bsky.app/profile/wordsaboutbooks.bsky.socialDiscord - https://discord.gg/6BaNRtcP8CThreads - https://www.threads.net/@wordsaboutbookspodcastInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/wordsaboutbookspodcastBlog - https://blog.wordsaboutbooks.ninja/
Westwood Studios wasn't always known for the command and conquer series. While 1992's Dune 2 laid the foundation for the RTS genre as a whole, they were more famous for their dungeon crawling RPGS, usually associated with Dungeons and Dragons. So when they decided to develop a new IP with Lands of Lore, they were coming to it as grizzled veterans, and they had no intention of messing around. It was released to near universal acclaim. Critics praised near everything about it - graphics, combat, puzzles, even the UI. It was considered to be less cruel than other dungeon crawlers, less punishing and with greater clarity when it came to puzzles and enemies. But this was 1993. The genre that Lands of Lore belongs to is very nearly dead, with only the indie scene keeping it alive by the skin of its teeth. As the genre developed, slow and methodical dungeon crawling was trumped by real time demon slaying, something that even the sequels to the game were not immune to. The friction of delving into a dungeon where death lay at every turn, and confusion reigned is something that we see very rarely today. Is this with good reason? Have we moved on from what Lands of Lore has to offer? Or is it still worth playing all these years later? On this episode, we discuss:UI. Lands of Lore has a very unique UI, with heavy use of screen space dedicated to inventory and spells and only a relatively small window showing you the real time action of what your party is doing. Does this offer excellent functionality, or is it just a bunch of wasted space for no good reason?Combat. Combat is turned based, but movement is real time. Attacking and spellcasting are tied to cooldowns, but using items is not. Enemies chase you in pods when aggroed, but you are free to rest and heal to full at any point. Do the contradictions in the combat systems of Lands of Lore exist for a reason, or does it just become a complete mess? Level Design. Lands of Lore's dungeons are elaborate mazes, filled to the brim with traps, treasure and buttons. Progressing through them is difficult, it's easy to get lost or stuck, and much of the environments look the same. Is this part of the fundamental experience of playing a dungeon crawler, and part of the fun, or is it simply an exercise in frustration? We answer these questions and many more on the 141st episode of the Retro Spectives Podcast! — Intro Music: KieLoBot - Tanzen K Outro Music: Rockit Maxx - One point to another Lands of Lore OST - Frank Klepacki — Is Lands of Lore a good entry point into the blobber genre?

Legends, Loot, & Lore: A Players's Guide to Dungeons and Dragons
Send us Fan MailA genre where characters argue about stats, loot, and XP should not feel this human, but that's the LitRPG surprise, and Dungeon Crawler Carl is the clearest proof. We're back with a new season and we kick things off with a side quest: why this series has exploded, what “LitRPG” actually means, and how Dungeons and Dragons quietly sits underneath the whole engine. If you've heard the hype but still don't get it, we give you the clean definition, the on-ramp, and the reasons it works even if you've never played a tabletop RPG or touched an RPG video game.We also talk about the secret weapon that turns curious listeners into obsessed fans: the Dungeon Crawler Carl audiobooks. Jeff Hays' narration feels like a full cast, and we dig into how voice performance changes the comedy, the pacing, and the emotional beats, especially for Princess Donut. From there we zoom out into the core setup of the story: aliens, a streamed death game, themed dungeon floors, and a progression system that makes every choice feel like a build decision with consequences.Then we get nerdy in the best way: the DnD DNA you can spot in race and class selection, party roles, rest mechanics, healing items, and guild-style teamwork. We wrestle with the creepiest “dungeon master” at the table, the AI, and trade theories on how the series might end and what Carl may be willing to sacrifice. We also hit the TV adaptation news, throw out casting ideas, and wrap with a bigger question: will LitRPG push more people into Dungeons and Dragons the way Stranger Things did, and what does fandom momentum like The Guild Kickstarter tell us about the moment we're in?If you enjoy LitRPG, Dungeon Crawler Carl, Dungeons and Dragons, audiobooks, and the future of tabletop RPG culture, subscribe, share this with a friend who needs a new obsession, and leave a quick review so more people can find the show.

Three major new pinball machines. One person who has played them all. In Episode 64 of The Flipside Podcast, Retro Ralph sits down with Jamie Burchell to discuss his exclusive hands-on experiences with Barrels of Fun's new Bon Jovi pinball machine, plus Dungeon Crawler Carl and Ender's Game for the Multimorphic P3 platform. Jamie shares his honest first impressions of Bon Jovi pinball, including its fast-flowing layout, lightning flippers, Crowd Surf ball save, Steel Horse Multiball, interactive heart mechanism, upgraded audio system and concert-style atmosphere. Is this really the best-shooting Barrels of Fun game yet, and could it convince Ralph to cancel his Tales of the Arabian Nights remake order? They also break down Multimorphic's ambitious new releases, Dungeon Crawler Carl pinball and Ender's Game pinball. We explore the shared P3 playfield, completely different rules and artwork, Dungeon Crawler Carl audiobook callouts from Jeff Hays, Ender's Game audio from Glenn Wächter, and the massive rotating mechanism that changes ball paths and interacts with each game in unique ways. Plus, Ralph and Jamie discuss music-pin fatigue, whether the Multimorphic P3 deserves another chance, the pressures of creating pinball content, podcast anxiety, Pinball Expo plans and the overwhelming number of new pinball machines arriving in 2026.

Dungeon Crawler Carl casting is heating up—but is Seth Green the right Mordecai?Seth Green has thrown his hat into the ring for the role of Mordecai in Peacock's upcoming live-action Dungeon Crawler Carl series. While he knows producer Seth MacFarlane, Green says he doesn't want to rely on that connection—he wants fans to push for it instead.Could he be the right fit for Carl and Donut's ever-changing mentor, or should someone else take the role? We also react to a packed week in pop culture, including RoboCop's return on Prime Video, Nolan's The Odyssey dominating theaters, Avengers: Doomsday's big trailer drop, DC's horror take on Clayface, and more in Views or Snooze.Who would you cast as Carl, Donut, and Mordecai?

Episode 308This week is a solo Front Porch session filled with personal updates, World Cup excitement, creative projects, and another trip into the Dungeon.❤️ Front Porch Check-In Five years after being diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, I share the latest from my doctor's appointment, my updated A1C, what's working, what still challenges me, and the habits that have helped me along the way.
Send us Fan MailCivilization doesn't fade out. It collapses at 2 AM. Anything with a roof becomes a death trap, and the only “safe” option is a doorway into a world dungeon run by aliens who package human survival as binge-worthy reality TV. We're unpacking Dungeon Crawler Carl (Book 1, Floors 1 and 2) and why it lands as both laugh-out-loud comedy and genuinely unsettling post-apocalyptic sci-fi.We talk through Carl's impossible starting conditions, the tutorial vibes that feel like a video game you can't pause, and the moment the series fully clicks: Princess Donut becomes sentient and instantly starts working the crowd like a born celebrity. From there, we dig into the AI's achievement system, the creepy humor, and the way the book turns “loot and levels” into a weaponized incentive structure. If you've been looking for a LitRPG recommendation or wondering whether the Dungeon Crawler Carl audiobook is worth it, we also get into what Jeff Hays brings to the narration and why the fandom treats it like the definitive version.The conversation gets real when we debate moral survival choices, including Frank and Maggie and the “kill or be killed” paranoia that the dungeon actively encourages. We also sit with the Hoarder scene and what it says about exploitation, audience complicity, and why Carl's anger feels like the beginning of a rebellion. Finally, we geek out over Carl's strategy and game-exploit thinking, plus standout supporting characters like Mordecai, Zev, and Odette.If you're enjoying the show, subscribe, share this with a friend who loves dystopian fiction and game mechanics, and leave us a five-star review so more crawlers can find us.Twitter handles:Project Geekology: https://twitter.com/pgeekologyAnthony's Twitter: https://twitter.com/odysseyswowDakota's Twitter: https://twitter.com/geekritique_dakInstagram:https://instagram.com/projectgeekology?igshid=1v0sits7ipq9yYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@projectgeekologyGeekritique (Dakota):https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBwciIqOoHwIx_uXtYTSEbASupport the show

They delve into the implications of this cancellation, reflecting on the legacy of the original series and its impact on the genre as a whole. The conversation then transitions seamlessly into a deep dive into the unique cinematic world of Quentin Dupieux, the talented writer and director known for his unconventional storytelling. They explore his 2010 masterpiece Rubber, a film that has garnered a cult following due to its absurd premise of a sentient tire that goes on a murderous rampage. The hosts analyze Dupieux's distinctive style, characterized by surreal humor and a penchant for blending the bizarre with the mundane, and discuss how this approach is evident in some of his other notable works, such as Wrong and Deerskin. Next, the discussion takes an unexpected turn as they briefly touch upon the iconic silent movie star Harrison Ford, reflecting on his illustrious career and the fascinating evolution of his roles from the early days of cinema to his current status as a Hollywood legend. The hosts share anecdotes and insights about Ford's contributions to film, highlighting his versatility as an actor and his ability to captivate audiences across generations. Following this, Cody takes the opportunity to inform Joe about Matt Dinniman, the creative mind behind the popular novel Dungeon Crawler Carl. He elaborates on Dinniman's journey as a writer and the recent announcement regarding the adaptation of the book into a TV series, discussing the potential this adaptation holds for both fans of the book and newcomers to the story. They speculate on casting choices, production details, and how the essence of the original narrative might be captured on screen. As the episode progresses, some exciting news surfaces about Jordan Peele's next film project. The hosts share their thoughts on Peele's previous works, such as Get Out and Us, and express their anticipation for what he will bring to the table next. They discuss the themes that Peele often explores in his films and how they resonate with contemporary audiences. To wrap up the episode, the guys shift gears to talk about Subterranean Press, a publisher renowned for its dedication to high-quality limited editions of speculative fiction. They discuss Subterranean Press's recent partnership with Conversation Tree Press, examining the potential benefits of this collaboration for both publishers and the authors involved. The conversation highlights the importance of independent publishing in promoting diverse voices and unique stories in the literary world. Overall, the episode is a rich tapestry of discussions that not only entertain but also provide listeners with valuable insights into the ever-evolving landscape of film and literature.Official Website: https://www.comesnaturallypodcast.comOfficial Merchandise: https://shop.spreadshirt.com/comes-naturally-podcast/iTunes: http://tinyurl.com/kqkgackFacebook: http://tinyurl.com/myovgm8Tumblr: http://tinyurl.com/m7a6mg9Twitter: @ComesNaturalPodYouTube: http://tiny.cc/5snxpy

House of the Dragon Season 3 finally lands, and the Battle of the Gullet gives the premiere one of the strongest hours the show has produced, complete with a death that reshapes the war and a 9 out of 10 score. It is a solo Father's Day episode, so Frank carries the news himself before settling into a full spoiler breakdown of the Targaryen civil war. Along the way Frank reacts to the first full Shrek 5 trailer and the cast joining Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, and Cameron Diaz, celebrates the official greenlight of the Dungeon Crawler Carl TV show at Peacock, and unpacks EA's new in-game advertising platform coming to Madden and College Football 26. The episode also brings back a roundtable from the previous week, where Phil and Thomas help untangle the messy, fast-moving Bricks and Minifigs consignment controversy and what it says about chasing clout in a legal dispute. Timestamps and Topics 0:00 Intro and Father's Day Catch-Up 1:03 Shrek 5 Trailer Breakdown 5:18 Dungeon Crawler Carl TV Show Greenlit at Peacock 11:10 EA's New In-Game Ads Platform 16:23 Bricks and Minifigs Controversy with Phil and Thomas 36:21 House of the Dragon Season 3 Episode 1 Review 55:53 Father's Day Send-Off Key Takeaways The full Shrek 5 trailer eases a lot of the early animation backlash, introduces the next generation of characters voiced by Zendaya, Marcelo Hernandez, and Skyler Gisondo, and reunites the original trio under returning director Walt Dohrn and co-director Conrad Vernon. The Dungeon Crawler Carl series is officially greenlit at Peacock with Matt Dinniman confirming it, Seth MacFarlane executive producing through Fuzzy Door, and Chris Yost writing, plus a Princess Donut CGI test that won the creator over. EA is rolling out a proprietary in-game ad server built on the Frostbite engine to drop swappable, location-targeted brand placements across Madden, EA Sports FC, College Football 26, and NBA titles. The Bricks and Minifigs saga started as a local consignment dispute over a massive sealed Lego collection and spiraled into a national story involving Reckless Ben, Coffee Zilla, Patreon, and harassment of unrelated stores. The Battle of the Gullet leans into spectacle with two real ships built to collide and three dragons in the air, landing the death of Jace and setting Rhaenyra up to carry the blame. The premiere doubles down on its core theme of women like Rhaenyra, Alicent, and Rayna being boxed in by the men around them, earning a 9 dragon eggs out of 10 from Frank. Quotes "House of the Dragon is about smashing two gigantic CGI dragons together and seeing who survives." "I'm going to give this a solid nine dragon eggs out of ten." "You kids nowadays, you don't know the joy of a DVD menu." "I don't believe there is good, I don't believe there is evil. I believe everybody has the capacity for both." (Phil) "When everything is said in clickbait titles instead of what is actually going on, suddenly everybody is a bad guy and everybody is a good guy."
