Our Patron Book Club joins us to discuss Jack Vance's "Lyonesse: Suldrun's Garden", incorrect uses of words or advanced neologisms, having less reading time in our adult lives, feeling like anything can happen, the Brothers Grimm, worlds where horrific things happen, toxic masculinity, Tolkien's influence, creating a sense of peril in combat, attacking the character sheet, the Dying Earth setting, proto-Arthurian stories, and much more!

The Abyss always comes back! In this week's episode the gang gathered together to discuss Katherine Silva's Undead Folk. Before diving into some grief, they chat up Expedition 33, Thunderbolts, Sinners, Daniel Barnett's Nightmareland Chronicles, Pilgrim: A Medieval Horror by Mitchell Luthi, Josh Rountree's Death Aesthetic, Tales of the Dying Earth by Jack Vance, You, and Withernot. Now join us by the fire and listen in!

New guest co-host, author, gamer and podcaster Adrian Tchaikovsky joins me in Derry and Toms to look at Jack Vance's The Dying Earth and discuss Vance's particular approach, his influence on Moorcock, and that mordant lyricism that defined numerous elements of the fantasy genre.

That's the question: "Is Star Trek Dying?" According to Robert Kazinsky, who played Zeph in the Section 31 film, it is -- and he says he's heard that directly from the boss's mouth. So what do we think? Is it true? A couple years ago when we were getting Star Trek for almost a full calendar year, things were looking quite positive. Has that changed? What's the state of fandom now? Has streaming helped or hurt the franchise? If it is true, and Trek really is dying, what's the remedy? What can be done about it? We will answer (as best we can) all these questions and more in tonight's LIVE show. And as always we welcome your questions and insights as well! Earth Station Trek is a part of the ESO Podcast Network, Executive Producer Mike Faber. #startrek #RobertKazinsky #section31 #prodigy #originalseries #nextgeneration #deepspace9 #voyager #enterprise #discovery #lowerdecks #strangenewworlds #picard

I've always been s huge fan of Jack Vance and especially the Dying Earth series, second only to Lyonesse in my humble etc. And amazingly we could have been neighbors - his old house (where his son still lives) is a 3-minute walk from my house in Oakland, so when Goodman Games (no relation) kickstarted DCC Dying Earth I was all over it like white on rice. My lovely friends agreed to submit themselves to a quick playthrough of a Dying Earth funnel and here are the results. So join me in the scabrous lowlife picaresque world of Jack Vance's Dying Earth as Jenn, Scott, Spencer and Archie try to make it to the end with at least once character still breathing.

Ralph Banks editor of Popular Crafts Monthly, was a short stocky man with a round pink face, a crisp crew cut, an intensely energetic manner. When a letter from the Smithsonian Institute came across his desk it caught his attention, A Practical Man's Guide by Jack Vance, that's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode.Thanks to K Vomer for another 5-star rating and review on Apple Podcasts, “Very enjoyable! Lots of vintage sci-fi stories! Love the narrator's voice. Also­ – he gives a little snippet about the history of the writer or what magazine it came from. It's fun to hear what people have imagined for the future and what life on other planets would be like. Double thumbs up!” Thanks K Vomer! Your reviews and ratings are always appreciated.John Holbrook Vance, better known as Jack Vance, was born and raised in California. Vance struggled to make ends meet as a young man and worked a number of jobs to survive, a bell-hop, in a cannery, and on a gold dredge, before entering the University of California, Berkeley where he studied mining engineering, physics, journalism and English. He worked for a while as an electrician in the naval shipyards at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. He left that job about a month before the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941.He started writing science fiction in the 1940s and his first published story was “The World-Thinker” in Thrilling Wonder Stories in the summer of 1945. He would go on to write about 50 short stories in the 40s, 50s and 60s and numerous novels.One of his best-known titles, “The Dying Earth”, began as a collection of short stories in 1950 and eventually expanded to become a whole series of books set in a far-off future. He won numerous awards: among them three Hugo awards, a Nebula and a World Fantasy award for lifetime achievement. In 1997 he was made a Grand Master of sci-fi, by the ScienceFiction Writers of America.A 2009 profile in the New York Times Magazine described Vance as "one of American literature's most distinctive and undervalued voices."Our story written by the highly acclaimed author is featured in the second edition of Space Science Fiction Magazine, Volume 1 Number 2 in August 1957. And there would be no more Space Science Fiction Magazine. Two issues and that's it. If you're interested, you can pick up a copy of the August 57 Space Science Fiction Magazine on Ebay for $35.Turn to page 102 for A Practical Man's Guide by Jack VanceNext week on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Wives always try to cure husbands of bad habits, even on lonely asteroids!

Recently, Earth Ancients has presented programs revealing evidence of ancient archeology on the surface of Mars. These programs were designed to highlight scientific research which was suppressed by NASA, or dismissed as pseudoscience by the scientific community. When the “Face on Mars” was first imaged and presented to the public in 1976, NASA immediately claimed that they were a trick of light. Additional images were take on the Cydonia region of Mars, which later presented an amazing variety of buildings, pyramids and structures that were identified and studied by a number of independent scientific groups. The most noted of these groups, The Society for Planetary SETI Research (SPSR), is an organization made up of image specialists and other scientific disciplines. Our program features members of SPSR as we present new evidence of archeology on Mars. George J. Haas is the founder of the Mars research group, The Cydonia Institute (EST1991). His research encompasses over 20 years of study and analysis of NASA and ESA photographs of the surface of Mars. He's the author ofThe Martian Codex: More Reflections from Mars, and Cydonia Codex: Reflections from Mars Dr. Mark Carlotto, Mark J. Carlotto is an image scientist with 30 years of experience in satellite remote sensing and digital image processing. His first book, The Martian Enigmas (North Atlantic Books, 1996), describes in detail his analysis of imagery of the Face and other unusual objects on the surface of Mars. He's also the author of The Cydonia Controversy. Dr. John E. Brandenburg is a plasma physicist working as a consultant at Morningstar Applied Physics LLC and as a part-time instructor of Astronomy, Physics and Mathematics at Madison College, in Madison, Wisconsin. He's the author of Life and Death on Mars (2010), and Dead Mars, Dying Earth (1999) with Monica Rix Paxson.

Aingeal Rose & Ahonu ask the Akashic Records is it the New Earth, or transformed Earth?

The 19th album from dungeon synth / dark ambient project Psyclopean. Imagine if Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd was obsessed with reading Jack Vance's Dying Earth books and watching reruns of In Search Of and early Doctor Who, and instead of band practice they played Dungeons & Dragons in a basement room hazy with pot smoke and plastered in blacklight posters. This is Nostalgiamancer. It's not for everyone, it's for those who know. Quality headphones are recommended for your listening pleasure.

Mark Carlotto & John Brandenburg: Lunar Anomalies and Archaeology Are there archaeological ruins on the Moon?Following the discovery of unknown artifacts and structural anomalies during Apollo 11 & 12 space missions, there has been great speculation that NASA was aware of other civilizations on the moon.For centuries astronomers have observed transient lunar phenomena (TLP) - lights that appear and, in some cases, move across the lunar surface. In 1968 NASA published a report describing hundreds of TLP sightings. With the recent discovery of collapsed lava tubes by Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and other probes, there is growing speculation that vast subterranean spaces exist below the lunar surface suitable for settlement and manufacturing. In this program we consider the possibility that some TLP may originate from within the moon and that collapsed lava tubes may be a more likely place to find evidence of extraterrestrial activity than on the surface.Mark Carlotto is an aerospace engineer with over thirty years of experience in remote sensing, pattern recognition, computer vision, signal/image processing, and terrain mapping. He received a Ph. D. in Electrical Engineering from Carnegie-Mellon University in 1981 and has more than one hundred publications and several books in a number of areas.

Brandenburg is a plasma physicist working as a consultant at Morningstar Applied Physics LLC and as a part-time instructor of Astronomy, Physics and Mathematics at Madison College, in Madison, Wisconsin. He's the author of Life and Death on Mars (2010), and Dead Mars, Dying Earth (1999) with Monica Rix Paxson.

In an episode that's been a long time coming, Langdon and Eden tackle Vancian fantasy, the Dying Earth sub-genre, and how these might be subverted to tell both radical and conservative stories. Works covered (beyond the obvious Tales of the Dying Earth by Jack Vance) include Adventure Time, D&D, Gor, The Dancers at the End of Time, Book of the New Sun, and more! Music played: Duel - Children of the Fire https://duel3.bandcamp.com/track/children-of-the-fire

All things must die...and that includes the planet Earth. In the vastly distant future, under a swollen red sun, mankind still struggles and strives against each other in a world vastly different than ours, yet also alike. The "Dying Earth" subgenre--which is subtly different from the post-apocalyptic genre--has been around for over a century, but the books that give it its name came along in the 1950s in a series of fix-up novels by Jack Vance. This week we're peering into that dark and brutal future to examine this seminal work that joins together several eras of fantasy and SF. Support us on Patreon and listen to the show a week early!

Julian Bernick has written across a wide variety of mediums, so Oliver discusses with him getting burnt out on novels, the Appendix N Reading List, writing for role-playing games, Jack Vance's Dying Earth series, writing lyrics as the lead singer of several bands, and more - but the focus of this interview is poetry, gothic horror, and how Julian combined the two in his most excellent book Castle Bash: A Record of the Most Unfortunate Doings at Castle Bash - As Told by an Unnamed Poet who was Never Seen Again! A narrative poem in the Romantic tradition, Castle Bash is Byronic in character, Gothic in atmosphere, Romantic in outlook and Lovecraftian in scope. When a bastard poet is given safe haven and patronage at the tenebrous Castle Bash, mystery, passion, and the forces of hell converge upon its benighted inhabitants. Spellburn Podcast / iTunes / Twitter Whistling Shade Magazine, where Julian serves as an editor of poetry.

Andy and Chris discuss ways to get your players more invested in a roleplaying game—but not before they pursue tangents including Jack Vance’s “Dying Earth” novels and how to handle keeping-watch sequences at the table.

This Episode, Keepers Murph, Dave, & Bridgett allegedly discuss writing scenarios... and when to know when they're complete. We were derailed by Elven Orgy Candles. It's kinda hard to explain. Listen at your on risk. Oh, and definitely stay afterwards and listen to some of the outtakes. Campus Crier The Campus Crier is where we keep all the mythos related news and info for the podcast, this episode was recorded on June 28, 2021. Creators! Awesome news.

TSR Games is back, but it isn't TSR Games, and it isn't TSR, Inc., And it isn't even the TSR from way back when. It's all a bit petty and strange and offensive, but if you want, you can read about it over at ENWorld. Goodman Games is running a Kickstarter for Jack Vance's seminal fantasy series The Dying Earth for their own Dungeon Crawl Classic RPG. This is an old school boxset that has been licensed by the Vance Estate and will include new Classes, spells, new monsters, & six new adventure modules.  As of recording it is funded with 23 days left and has $170k towards their $20k goal. It is $50 for the boxset alone, or $110 for the boxset with the 6 adventure modules, which is a bit strange but they must be pretty hefty. If you have been looking at getting into Pelgrane Press's excellent King in Yellow RPG then now is the time! A new Bundle of Holding has been released that will get you the Core Book and some music for $18. But for $28 you get The corebook, music, The Absinthe in Carcosa campaign, The Annotated King in Yellow (which is really quite nice), The Missing and the Lost, and the fiction compilation The New Tales of the Yellow Sign.  The Discord Plug We have our MUP Discord and we are all there!
