Series premiere! This week we leave The Shire behind to embark on our journey through Middle Earth and the epic fantasy genre!In the spirit of Lord of the Rings, we've divided our miniseries into three parts, and we're starting today with Part 1: The Road to Mordor. And that road begins with, you guessed it, Ray Harryhausen!Peter Jackson's trilogy would not exist without the sword-and-sandals stop-motion action of Harryhausen – so as we voyage towards Mordor, we must first trek the scorching sands of Ancient Greece, where harpies fly, gigantic statues terrorize, and gods try to kill us out of boredom! Oh, and spooky skeletons.Next week, we spend some time with a different type kind of Hobbit in Rankin and Bass's animated THE HOBBIT.

Schick uns deinen Themenvorschlag oder deine Frage zum Buch schreiben und veröffentlichenEine fantastische Welt, die an das Mittelalter erinnert, eine Prophezeiung, die das Schicksal der Welt verändern könnte, und verborgene Kräfte, mit denen die Hauptfigur gesegnet ist. Es gibt viele Klischees, die in der Fantasy vorkommen können – und die zu Vorurteilen führen: Fantasy-Geschichten laufen immer gleich ab, sie leiden unter zu wenig Logik und zu viel Beschreibung und überhaupt sind sie einfach nur billiger Schund, der obendrein noch vom Teufel geschickt wurde!So oder so ähnlich klingen sie, die Vorurteile gegenüber dem Fantasy-Genre. Dabei ist es ein so weitläufiges Genre, dass keines dieser Vorurteile je auf alle Werke der Phantastik zutreffen könnte. Und manche sind auch einfach purer Humbug.

"Die Prinzessinnen" – Uwe Kullnick spricht mit Christian Endres – Hörbahn on Stage Es liest  Cassiel Metris  (Hördauer ca.  89 min, Gesprächsanfang bei min. 24) "Die Prinzessinnen: Fünf gegen die Finsternis" ist ein actiongeladener Fantasy-Roman von Christian Endres, der die Geschichte von fünf ehemaligen Königstöchtern erzählt, die als Söldnerinnen durch eine Welt voller Gefahren ziehen.Die Protagonistinnen Aiby, Mef, Decanra, Cinn und die neu hinzugekommene Narvila haben sich als knallharte Truppe einen Namen gemacht. Mit Schwert und Streitaxt kämpfen sie gegen verschiedene Kreaturen wie Räuber, Werwölfe, Oger, Kobolde und Drachen. Ihre Spezialität ist das Retten von Thronerbinnen in Not.Die Geschichte nimmt eine Wendung, als die Prinzessinnen den Auftrag erhalten, Prinzessin Narvila zu befreien. Statt in ihr Schloss zurückzukehren, entscheidet sich Narvila dafür, sich der Söldnerinnentruppe anzuschließen.Der Roman wird als "Grimdark-Fantasy" beschrieben, eine düstere und brutale Form der Fantasy-Literatur1. Die Handlung ist geprägt von expliziten Kampfszenen, bissigen Dialogen und einer rauen Welt2. Der Autor spart nicht an heftigen Details, und die Kämpfe werden oft blutig und brutal dargestellt.Trotz der harten Action gibt es auch Raum für Charakterentwicklung und zwischenmenschliche Beziehungen. Die fünf Protagonistinnen werden als vielschichtige Antiheldinnen dargestellt, die weder klassischen Fantasy-Stereotypen noch romantischen Klischees entsprechen.Der Roman bietet eine ungewöhnliche Perspektive auf das Fantasy-Genre, indem er starke weibliche Charaktere in den Mittelpunkt stellt und mit Genrekonventionen bricht  Christian Endres, Jahrgang 1986, lebt und arbeitet als freier Autor in der Nähe von Würzburg – inmitten von viel zu vielen Büchern und Comics. Im Mai 2024 ist sein Roman Wolfszone bei Heyne erschienen, eine Mischung aus Hardboiled-Krimi und Science-Fiction – ein Roman über ein Deutschland der nahen Zukunft, zwischen künstlicher Intelligenz und Klimawandel, Cyborg-Wölfen und einer gespaltenen Gesellschaft. Im April 2023 erschien bei Cross Cult sein Fantasy-Roman Die Prinzessinnen – Fünf gegen die Finsternis, der schon vor Auslieferung in die zweite Auflage ging. Im November 2023 folgte Die Prinzessinnen – Helden und andere Dämonen. Das von Funda Vanroy eingelesene Hörbuch des ersten Bandes stand auf der Shortlist für den Preis Der Goldene Stephan. Für November 2024 ist der dritte Band Die Prinzessinnen – Hoheitliches Gemetzel geplant.

In this episode, Janeen Ippolito discusses the intricate relationship between world building and genre in science fiction and fantasy writing. She emphasizes the importance of understanding genre definitions, cultural influences, and reader expectations. The conversation provides practical tips for authors on how to navigate the complexities of genre research and effectively connect with their target audience.• World building is essential for defining genre in speculative fiction.• Genres are influenced by cultural factors, including economic needs and reader expectations.• Readers of sci-fi and fantasy particularly seek immersive world building.• Understanding genre requires reading widely within the genre and its subgenres.• Successful authors can provide insights into genre-specific tropes and expectations.• Engaging with reader communities can reveal what audiences expect from a genre.• Trial and error is a natural part of the genre research process.• Authors can influence genre evolution through innovative storytelling.• Crossover effects from other media can shape genre trends.• The choice of genre and its elements ultimately lies with the author.

The fantasy genre often features magical worlds ruled by kings and conquerors with no mention of Indigenous people or of the harms of colonization. This week Rosanna speaks with Indigenous creators who are changing the narrative of fantasy from novels to comics and even board games.

If you're a long term listener, you'll already be aware that the concept of 'genre' is mostly just a tool to aid categorisation, especially when it comes to selling books. That said, there are points on the timeline that are considered recognised emergence points for specific major genres. This week, Jules and Madeleine take a look at the evolution of fantasy: where did the idea come from? When did it diverge from fairy tales and folklore? And how did it become the speculative fiction power house genre it is today?   Part 2 of a 2 part episode.   Title music - Ecstasy by Smiling Cynic

PATREON MOVIE DISCUSSION: Shesmadeofwords Podcast & InstagramShirleon joins Melvin in discussing Millie Bobby Brown's latest acting venture: Damsel! From it's wild, fluctuating tone to actually making a dragon scary, there's plenty to be explored in this latest girl-power fantasy tale! Topics:(PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 30-minutes discussing "Why It's Never Been Easier to Land in Director's Jail", a write-up by Mia Galuppo on The Hollywood Reporter, and one of its observations: that producers look at a Director's Rotten Tomatoes Scores in deciding who to hire, and who to ignore. (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) Shirleon has started her own podcast called "Shesmadeofwords", a podcast about the books she's reading, bookstagram, and so much more!Shirleon liked Damsel, even texting Melvin to check it out after watching the film, and liked its twist on the traditional storybook of yore.Melvin felt there was a "confusion in tone", but otherwise still enjoyed the fact that the Dragon was handled more like a horror-movie villain than your typical mythical beast.Melvin has already seen Damsel before. He watched it back in 2022. Back then, it was called The Princess and featured Joey King as its lead. Jokingly, he compares the two films, and how he liked The Princess a lot more.In various, different ways, Shirleon and Melvin both wanted more from the film.Shirleon loved Millie Bobby Brown's performance. Melvin, on the other hand, felt something was seriously off for this otherwise consistently stellar performer. So begins a long thread about acting as an artform.Discussing specific plot details (with spoilers) and how the movie fails to telegraph important details.

Eine gute Entscheidung, dass Villeneuve wieder an Originalschauplätzen gedreht hat – was erst einmal wie eine mittelgute Pointe klingt, beschreibt die visuelle Qualität von DUNE und noch mehr von DUNE: PART TWO sehr gut. Der Film vermittelt tatsächlich den Eindruck, als hätte sich Villeneuve einfach gegen CGI entschieden, wäre nach Arrakis geflogen und hätte die Fremen überredet auf dem Wüstenplaneten vor die Kamera zu treten. Das bedeutet für mich als Zuschauer eine enorm immersive Illusion. Vergleichbar ist das – wenn überhaupt – nur mit der visuellen Dimension des ersten LORD OF THE RINGS von Peter Jackson im Fantasy-Genre und lässt alle anderen SF-Epen in dieser Hinsicht weit hinter sich.Frank Herberts Roman lässt sich durchaus missverstehen als Verherrlichung eines Feudalsystems und als Heldenkult – oberflächlich lässt sich Paul Atreides als White Saviour lesen, der kommt, um das religiös manipulierbare Wüstenvolk der Fremen zu befreien. Herberts kritische Ansätze über religiösen Fundamentalismus, Manipulation, Naturzerstörung, Ausbeutung, Faschismus und den rücksichtslosen Kampf der Eliten um wichtige Ressourcen, werden in der spannenden Handlung schnell überlesen. Villeneuve bemüht sich diese Kritik sichtbar zu machen: Paul spricht es mehrfach direkt an, dass es ihm als Außenweltler nicht zusteht, die Fremen zu führen. Und er weigert sich lange, seine Rolle in der politisch-religiösen Intrige der Bene Gesserit zu spielen.Villeneuve macht auch deutlich, dass der religiöse Fundamentalismus der Fremen das Ergebnis einer Manipulation durch eine Elite ist, der Film demaskiert Religion als Machtwerkzeug. Ein absoluter Gänsehaut-Moment, als Paul Atreides die Messiasrolle annimmt, um sie zu seinen Bedingungen auszufüllen. Während ich beim ersten DUNE noch mit Timothee Chamelet als Paul Atreides gefremdelt hatte (zu viel Kyle MacLachlan abgespeichert), hat er mich dieses Mal überzeugt als schlaksiger Königssohn, der zu früh und gegen seinen Willen erst in die Rolle des Herzogs, dann in die Rolle des Messias gedrängt wird – ein Hamlet der Wüste.Villeneuves DUNE: PART TWO ist auch ein Science-Fiction der starken und vor allem klugen Frauen: Die Bene Gesserit, die die toxisch-maskulinen Männer am Nasenring durch ihre Jahrhunderte alte Agenda ziehen, Pauls Mutter, die als Reverend Mother die Kontrolle übernimmt, die scharfsinnige Tochter des Imperators und vor allem Pauls Lebensgefährtin Chani, die sich (anders als in der Romanvorlage) gegen Pauls Heiligen Krieg stellt. Am Ende dieses zweiten Teils sind die Protagonisten ambivalent (Achtung SPOILER!): Die Überlebenden des Hauses Atreides werden das ganze Universum in einen Krieg mit vielen Millionen Toten führen, die edlen Freiheitskämpfer werden fanatische Werkzeuge eines Heiligen Krieges … Ich hoffe sehr, dass Villeneuve irgendwann einen dritten Teil dreht (der sich dann um DUNE MESSIAH drehen würde).Direkt nach dem Kino sind mitten in der Nacht vor dem Mikrofon: Johanna, Kathrin, Hendrik, Tom und Thomas. Wir diskutieren über Villeneuves Vertrauen in die Kraft seiner Bilder, ob das Epische ermüdet oder auch nicht, über Butlers Dschihad, Schauwerte und Bauchgrimmen, optischen Ekkletizismus, den visuellen Faschismus der Harkonnen, über abwesende Navigatoren und Christopher Walken als alter Imperator.

Mehr Infos zur Folge: Unser heutiger PC Games Podcast steht ganz im Zeichen des kommenden Action-RPGs Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden. Das französische Studio Dontnod hat sich spätestens mit Life is Strange in die Geschichtsbücher geschrieben, aber auch seitdem gab es etliche coole und spannende Spiele aus Paris - etwa das Kletterabenteuer Jusant, Tell Me Why und vieles mehr.2018 versuchte man sich bereits am Fantasy-Genre und ging für "Vampyr" eine Partnerschaft mit Focus Home Entertainment ein. Dieses Mal, bei Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, ist einiges gleich. Wieder stehen Fantasy, Kämpfe und düstere Themen im Zentrum, auch Focus ist zurück als Publisher. Der wichtige Unterschied: Banishers ist absolut grandios!Unser Spieletester und Redakteur Carlo Siebenhüner, Redakteur Matthias Dammes und PCG-Moderator Maci Naeem Cheema sprechen in unserer knapp 30-minütigen Folge ausgiebig darüber, was die kleine und kompakte RPG-Erfahrung so besonders macht und warum ihr unbedingt ebenfalls nach New Eden aufbrechen solltet. Direkt hier findet ihr natürlich auch unser Review-Video zum Spiel. Wenn ihr uns noch nicht auf YouTube folgt, dann solltet ihr das schleunigst nachholen. Gleiches gilt natürlich für den PC Games Podcast, versteht sich.

Angie Thomas's 2017 novel “The Hate U Give” was a game changer, addressing racism and police brutality for young readers. It also sold millions of copies — and faced multiple book bans. Angie's gone on to write a bunch of bestselling YA books, and she talks about why shifting to fantasy is a whole new way to talk to kids about racism.

“Do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment. Even the very wise cannot see all ends.”We Finally Talk About Peter Jackson's Epic Fantasy TrilogyConsidering our immense love for this film and the original material, it's a bit surprising that it's taken us into our twelfth season to discuss The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Peter Jackson and his amazing team believed in this world and crafted a script, found a cast, built a crew, and gave it their all to deliver a series of films that perfectly told a cinematic version of J.R.R. Tolkien's books while also creating a model for fantasy filmmaking as well as a model for massive scale film production. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we kick off our Lord of the Rings series with a conversation about Jackson's 2001 film The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Here's a hint at what we talk about.It's a challenge having a conversation about this trilogy as so much has already been said and documented about the production, etc. Still, it gives us a chance to discuss what Jackson brings to the table.

We certainly prefer this one, but there are interesting actors to discuss. How do the extended and additional scenes work to expand the story for us?

“Do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment. Even the very wise cannot see all ends.”We Finally Talk About Peter Jackson's Epic Fantasy TrilogyConsidering our immense love for this film and the original material, it's a bit surprising that it's taken us into our twelfth season to discuss The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Peter Jackson and his amazing team believed in this world and crafted a script, found a cast, built a crew, and gave it their all to deliver a series of films that perfectly told a cinematic version of J.R.R. Tolkien's books while also creating a model for fantasy filmmaking as well as a model for massive scale film production. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we kick off our Lord of the Rings series with a conversation about Jackson's 2001 film The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Here's a hint at what we talk about.It's a challenge having a conversation about this trilogy as so much has already been said and documented about the production, etc. Still, it gives us a chance to discuss what Jackson brings to the table. How does his production style work in the film? We talk about the cast and many other options that are in the could-have-been version. We certainly prefer this one, but there are interesting actors to discuss. How do the extended and additional scenes work to expand the story for us?

We're revisiting our favorite movies in the Fantasy Genre as each episode goes deep into the common tropes of the beloved Fantasy genre. Stay tuned for episodes on Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon, Tales in Dungeons and Dragons, Fantasy Novels and Folklore, and so much more like I promise you there's a lot of stuff to talk about here.    

Christen Horne refers to herself as a nerd, geek and gamer. She's a big fan of reading and loves Star Wars.As an accomplished singer, she received her Masters in Opera Performance. In addition to the entire family being singers and musicians, archery became a big part of their lives as well.  When Karla, Christen's mother, was in high school she became the California State Champion Archer and the family still enjoys the sport today. Having a mom that worked wasn't that unusual for Christen. Her mom had been a paralegal for years after completing her associates degree.  As the three children were growing up, Karla was  leading worship at the local church.  They spent a lot of time at the church. But my guest says she enjoyed it because they were always singing.Ms. Horne fondly remembers her mom embracing whatever fun activities the kids would be involved in, including  going to water parks and going down the water slides together, playing board games and spending quality time involved with the family. Years ago, Christen was actively involved in her community theatre programs.  She fondly retells the story of  the production of  "Fiddler On The Roof," when her mom and aunt  were  "volun-told' that they  had to play village fathers.  There were no other boys/male actors to play the part.  They still laugh about it today.Christen considered her mother as being firm yet compassionate when it came to disciplining the three kids.  Homework definitely took the priority especially over video games. Homework wasn't done, no one got  to play. Christen says  "mom was always really good about helping us find the balance in things. Making sure we had time to play  and making sure we got our homework done."  It wasn't until Christen started to realize  that she often hid her emotions, that she started to recall other instances from her childhood that were clearly  unhappy. She had suffered from depression at a young age that was left undiagnosed. She felt that her mother was embarrassed when Christen showed her true emotions. Horne shared with me that "through my mental health journey, I've gotten more comfortable being more myself around my mom."  Often feeling "this is my fault," Christen often blamed herself and felt that if her mother rejected her, it would be devastating.  It's scary to be a young child and not understand complicated emotional situation.Working with coaches on a regular basis has helped Christen tremendously. "You pick one hurt, then move on to another," reflects Horne. Through working with her coaches she says her relationship with her mom is so much better and she's very grateful for all the support.Christen is now working on her fantasy book which features her main character 'Alkara' who's named after mother and who also is an archer.

In this instalment, Janina and Lucy from The Fey Fellowes podcast return for a chat about the age-old tales of Beowulf and King Arthur. We look at the story behind these two tales and how they've endured for so long. We also explore the influence that they've had on the founders of the fantasy genre, such as Tolkien and CS Lewis. And we consider what writers can learn from these classic epics.

     Saul and Jolene have been asked and seen many posts on social media about alternatives to D&D.  Saul decided to stay in the Fantasy Genre and chose a couple of games that are in the same genre but come at Fantasy from a totally different perspective.        This was supposed to be a single episode discussing a couple of what Saul considers very good examples of being Fantasy RPGs but as far removed from D&D as possible in rules and setting.  The first to be discussed is Warhammer Fantasy RPG.   Saul discusses how Warhammer Fantasy Roleplaying game is different from the very popular D&D 5th edition.        From the Grim world setting which is very different from most setting in D&D to the very deadly system which pairs very well with the world of Warhammer.  The rules are not only deadly but a bit more crunchy/complicated than D&D 5th edtion.   The system makes the players play in a different style.  Combat is always brutal should be a last resort and often ends with brutal consequences even for the victor.       This was supposed to be a single episode featuring two alternative Fantasy RPGs to D&D.  Unfortunately we only discussed Warhammer so this must be a two episode topic.     As Always Thank You All for Listening.    Web page art by Jim Foster    Episode Art by Michael Shean-Jones.       Music by Janelle Avery, song Hammer it All, off the album My Songs.     Available from Tribeofnoise.com

Robert Jordan — How the Wheel of Time Creator Became an Icon of the Fantasy Genre James Oliver Rigney Jr. (better known by his pen name Robert Jordan) is best known for his breakout fantasy series "The Wheel of Time," which breathed new life into a genre that had grown somewhat stale since Tolkien took the scene by storm decades earlier. But before he wrote the several million words that would become his legacy, Rigney/Jordan served in Vietnam, became a nuclear engineer, and had a near-death experience that inspired him to finally pick up a pen. AND he was a good husband and human, y'all, which Tyler and Hannah were very excited to learn. Longtime listeners know we don't get to feature a lot of healthy relationships on this show, but you'll be delighted to hear about Rigney/Jordan's marriage to Harriet McDougal a woman who was, incidentally, also a huge part of shaping the "Wheel of Time" series. Also, Tyler announces the upcoming release of his fantasy sitcom series "The Penny Lich," available June 7th!

Notes:Definitions:- Fantasy is a sub-genre of speculative fiction involving magical elements, typically set in a fictional universe and sometimes inspired by mythology and folklore. Its roots are in oral traditions, which then became fantasy literature and drama.- Science fiction is a sub-genre of speculative fiction that typically deals with imaginative and futuristic concepts such as advanced science and technology, space exploration, time travel, parallel universes, and extraterrestrial life.The Verbivore reads two quotes towards the beginning of the episode. They are:- “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” - science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke- “Any magic that is sufficiently systematized is indistinguishable from science.” - science fantasy writer N. K. JemisinThe Verbivore talks about a conversation between James Cameron and George Lucas about if Star Wars is science fiction on James Cameron's Story of Science Fiction series. George Lucas has said previously, "Star Wars isn't a science-fiction film, it's a fantasy film and a space opera."Here are some articles and videos that we found helpful in preparation for this conversation:- MasterClass Article “What Is Science Fiction Writing?

In this episode, we discuss the incredible influence that Dungeons and Dragons (DnD) has had on the fantasy genre.

The Fantasy Inn is rather fond of fantasy books... it's in the name. But when and why do we read outside the fantasy genre? After all, there are so many truly incredible books out there. Please note that our reading skews toward fantasy, so this is not an episode that extensively explores other genres. Instead, we examine our reading habits, the appeal of other genres, and why we sometimes find it difficult to read outside our comfort zones. Note on Acronyms: We mention "TBRs" multiple times throughout this episode, which refers to "To Be Read" lists... essentially a list that some readers create to organize the books they plan to read in the future.
