Today's guest, Ryan Zehm, is a true adventurer. He's also a thru-hiker, bikepacker, hatha yogi, and wildland firefighter with the goal of reaching the north pole on foot in search of Hyperborea. He joins us to detail his failed attempts to reach the north pole, to discuss the connections between Saint Germain, free masonry, Francis Bacon and Missing 411, and to delve into a topic that is too hot to even list here (you'll find that at the end of the episode). We also get into connections Ryan has found betweet Tartaria and Christianity, and even some parallels between Gengis Khan and Jesus Christ himself.

In this explosive episode of Nephilim Death Squad, we welcome back Tim Constantine for a no-holds-barred unraveling of Nazi occultism, bloodline theology, and the hyper-dimensional psyops that continue to shape global power. From the SS castle rituals to the mythos of Hyperborea, Constantine exposes the hidden history scrubbed from mainstream narratives. We dig into the esoteric origins of the Thule Society, the twisted reinterpretation of the Nephilim as Aryans, and the strange military obsessions with Greenland.

In this week's episode, I take a look at some of the historical influences & inspirations that went into my new book GHOST IN THE ASSEMBLY. This coupon code will get you 25% off SILENT ORDER: OMNIBUS ONE at my Payhip store: SILENT25 The coupon code is valid through April 7th, 2025. So if you need a new book to read for spring, we've got you covered! TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00 Introduction and Writing Updates Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 244 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is March 21st, 2025, and today we are looking at some of the historical influences that went into Ghost in the Assembly. Before we get into that, we will do Coupon of the Week and an update my current writing and audiobook projects. And then Question of the Week, which we did have time for this week. This week's coupon code will get you 25% off the ebook of Silent Order: Omnibus One at my Payhip store. That coupon code is SILENT25. I'll have the links and the coupon code in the show notes. This coupon code is valid through April 7, 2025, so if you need a new book to read for these spring months, we have got you covered. Now an update on my current writing projects. I am 44,000 words into Shield of Battle, the fifth book in the Shield War series. I'm hoping to have that out towards the end of April, if all goes well. A reminder that the Shield War series will be six books, so Shield the Battle will be the second to last one. I have also started on the sequel to Ghost in the Assembly, and I am 4,000 words into that, give or take. I had originally planned to call this book Ghost in the Assassins, but I thought that sounded too similar to Ghost in the Assembly. So the fifth book in the Ghost Armor series will be called Ghost in the Corruption. A reminder that Ghost Armor will be six books long and Ghost in the Corruption will be the fifth of six books, so the second to last book in that series as well. In audio news, recording has started for Shield of Deception and Ghost in the Assembly. Shield of Deception will be excellently narrated by Brad Wills and Hollis McCarthy will excellently narrate Ghost in the Assembly. I expect both of them will probably be out sometime towards the end of May if all goes well, given how long it usually takes to record an audiobook. In Stealth and Spells Online news, I am 68,000 words into the third and final book in this trilogy. Once Ghost Armor and Shield War are complete, then I will hopefully release the final book in the Stealth and Spells Online because I've been working on that as a tertiary project for quite a long time now. So that's where I'm at with my current writing and audiobook projects. 00:02:17 Question of the Week Now let's move on to Question of the Week. Question of the Week is of course designed to inspire enjoyable discussions of interesting topics. This week's question, what is your favorite style of fantasy setting (like a more high fantasy, one like Middle Earth or the Forgotten Realms, urban fantasy like the Dresden Files or Kate Daniels or more steampunk like Everon and so on)? No wrong answers, obviously. And as you can imagine this inspired quite a few responses. Perry says: Hyperborea! Lankhmar is up there as well. Setting where magic is rare, and usually dangerous or evil. The first edition of the Forgotten Realms (the grey box from the ‘80s) was great. Enough detail to let you use the setting, lots of room to make it your own. Then all the Forgotten Realms novels started to appear with the release of the second edition in the ‘90s and everybody in the world suddenly had powerful magic at their fingertips. Elminster, the Seven Sisters, Drizz't, and others took the appeal right out of the setting for me. Joachim says: I like the Spelljammer Campaign setting best. A lot of great modules. It seemed it was not overly successful. A shame. I had a campaign running in this setting with some people who liked it. In addition to the Spelljammer modules, you can easily transfer any normal module centered on a small town onto an asteroid. Evan says: A huge Sanderson Cosmere fan here, especially Stormlight Archive. I like the magical progression tied in to character development, with a bit of mystery of how things work or an unknown that takes time to unwind or tease out. Justin says: My problem here is separating the settings from the authors. Given that near impossibility, I would cast my vote for high fantasy with a bit of techno/steampunk mixed in. Example – Andre Norton's Witch World. Bonnie says: I seem to gravitate towards the swords and sorcery genre like Frostborn, but I also enjoyed the urban fantasy/Nadia and the other genres. I have to thank you for introducing me to all of these. Michael says: Okay, Jonathan, that's the second time I've noticed you indicating a preference for sword and sorcery saga where a barbarian hero travels between corrupt city states and now I really, really want you to write this. And yeah, that's definitely my favorite type of setting too. Simone says: Definitely urban fantasy. Even in your books, which offer an unusual variety of fantasy settings, I find I enjoy the Cloak series the best. Roger says: Being an old fogey, I prefer high fantasy always. Can't seem to get my head around urban fantasy. It jars with me. John says: While I enjoy all settings, I'm also a traditionalist and want a non-industrial, non punk setting without some sprawling empire, more like the aftermath of empire with multiple successor states. Jonathan T. says: Personally, Star Wars has always been fantasy in a science fiction setting, and that remains a personal favorite. Other than that, I suppose I'm for high fantasy, although I'm not opposed to high fantasy slapstick either such as the Wuntvor trilogy. At some point I must try again to surmount the obstacle known as The Wheel of Time. Catriona says: Epic and high fantasy are my favorite, enjoy Dark Fantasy, too. Urban fantasy is a hard pass for me. Juana says: Sword and sorcery, parfait gentle knights, medieval societies, historical fiction like Doyle's The White Company and Sir Nigel. Wherever Nadia lives. Justin says: Sword and sorcery, magical creatures/beasts. Definitely needs different environments like cities and wild mountains and forests. Not sure what genre that is, but that's what I like. MG says: High fantasy. Brandy says: I like ones with a clearly defined map. Sometimes it seems like the world wasn't thought about clearly, so it makes it hard to imagine and I find those stories the least successful. The ones I go back to repeatedly, the ones I read over and over or pimp out to other authors or groups are those I feel like they have a great structure and map, even if it's added on to later. So high, low, or middle, I just really just want the author to tell a great story and make it a great one. Speaking as an author myself, I really dislike drawing maps, but fantasy readers really like maps, so that's why I have been doing more and more maps lately. Pauline says: Urban fantasy is definitely my favorite. Jeremy says: High Fantasy is my favorite. However, my favorite fantasy author is Terry Brooks. His series is Low Fantasy based on Earth. I found out years after reading the series LOL. For myself, I think my favorite would be a pre-industrial setting with a lot of city-states and various dangerous magic, like you have a barbarian hero wandering from city-state to city-state with monster infested ruins and wilderness between them. When he gets to the city states, he can fight corrupt sorcerers, arrogant nobles, and thieves guilds, and then move on to a new adventure in the next book. So basically a sword and sorcery style setting. So that's it for Question of the Week. 00:06:30 Main Topic of the Week: Ghost in the Assembly: Inspirations and Sources (Note: Spoilers for Ghost in the Assembly!) This week and now onto our main topic, Ghost in the Assembly inspirations and sources that went into the book. I should mention that this episode contains mild spoilers for Ghost in the Assembly. So if you have not finished reading Ghost in the Assembly yet, stop listening and go finish reading Ghost in the Assembly. So I thought it would be interesting to talk about some of the ideas and influences that went into Ghost in the Assembly. I have to admit, it took me a few years of thinking between Ghost Night and Ghost Armor to figure out how to write more Caina stories because Caina had become a political figure by the end of Ghost Night and political figures typically do bad things for personal advancement and then lie about it. That is in some ways the essential definition of a political figure. This of course, is hard for a writer to use as a sympathetic protagonist. Of course, I eventually realized the way around this, the success of a political figure cannot be judged by their personal morality or even their political morality, but by the results of their decisions. Did they do the most for the greatest good of their people? Therefore, I just needed to write a political figure who did somewhat sketchy things (like subverting the Kyracian houses via buying up their debt) in the name of the greater good of the people (defending them from the impending attack of the Red Krakens). I frequently said that if you want to write a good fantasy novel, you should try to stick to about 15 to 25% of the actual harshness of the past. I don't think you want to go full Grimdark, but you don't want your fantasy world to be indistinguishable from a typical 21st century parliamentary democracy because I think that kind of defeats the purpose of fantasy where you want to visit a world that is eldritch and strange and at least somewhat different than our own. So for Ghost in the Assembly, I went to about 15 to 25% of the experience of ancient Greek democracy. For the entire time that New Kyre and the Kyracians have been in the series (Ghost in the Storm was way the heck back in 2012 and the Kyracians were mentioned before that), they've always been very loosely based on the democracy of ancient Athens. In fact, the very name Assembly of New Kyre comes from ancient Athens, where the gathering of voting citizens was called the ecclesia, which translates into English as assembly. Interestingly, this is also the origins of the word ecclesiastical in terms of a church since one of the first words for the church was ecclesia in the sense of the assembly of the believers in Christ. Athens wasn't the first ancient Greek democracy, but it was one of the most successful. It was also one of the democracies that self-destructed in the most spectacularly dramatic fashion possible. The Athenians decided to convert the Delian League from an alliance of city-states into their own private empire. A demagogue convinced them to waste enormous resources attacking Syracuse and Sicily, which ended disastrously. The Athenians were eventually defeated by the more militaristic Spartans. People have debated for centuries whether or not this means democracy is inferior to the Spartans' harsher system, but that overlooks the key fact that a few decades later, Athens, Sparta, and all the rest of the Greek city-states were conquered by the Macedonians anyway. I suppose the actual historical lesson is that a city-state, regardless of its government, is no match for a larger centralized state with better leaders and better military organization. In fact, historically city-states tend to eventually get subsumed into larger political entities. If they last for a long time, it tends to be because of geography (like in ancient Greece) or because of weak and or remote central authority like the medieval Italian city-states, which were ostensibly under the authority of the Holy Roman emperor but in practice tended to do whatever they wanted. Places like modern Vatican City tend to be special exceptions. Caina's criticism of the assembly of New Kyre in the book is that it is not as egalitarian as it pretends and is easily swayed by both demagogues and bribes. The Athenian assembly of citizens had both these problems, but far worse. You needed to have a substantial level of property to be allowed to vote, and there were numerous examples of the votes swinging on bribes or last minute orations. The Athenian assembly was easily swayed into making bad decisions, such as supporting the disastrous attack on Syracuse during the Peloponnesian War that was the start of Athens' downfall. In Ghost in the Assembly, Lady Eirenea Tritos is one of the nine chief magistrates of the city, but in an Athenian democracy, women were not allowed to vote and most definitely were not allowed to hold political office. The ancient Greeks in general did not have a very high opinion of women. One Greek orator said that men had wives to produce legitimate heirs, concubines to attend to the body's “daily needs”, and prostitutes for pleasure. Because of things like that, I thought a setting with a hundred percent of the harshness of ancient Greece would be off-putting to the reader. So as I said, I shot for between 15 and 25% of the actual harshness. New Kyre is definitely richer, better governed, and less elitist and chauvinistic than the ancient Greeks. That said, New Kyre isn't an egalitarian place. Nobles have vastly more rights and money than commoners, and both nobles and commoners own slaves and only the poorest commoners own no slaves themselves. Indeed, slavery is so common in New Kyre that the other nobles see Kylon's decision that House Kardamnos will have no slaves as a sign of malevolent and sinister foreign influence. Kalliope's fear that she could be dispossessed and Kylon simply take her children is very real. If Kylon wanted, he probably could keep Kalliope from seeing Nikarion and Zoe ever again, though that would inevitably put him in conflict with Lysikas Agramemnos and Calliope is charismatic enough to powerful allies to her side. If Kylon did in fact refuse to allow Kalliope to see their children, he might well set off a civil war. But Kylon, who lost both his parents when he was young, doesn't want to deprive his children of a loving mother. Of course, the ancient Greeks never had to fight the Red Krakens and orcs. The Red Krakens, the Caphtori, are kind of written like snake-worshipping Vikings. In fact, Caphtori are inspired by the “Sea Peoples”, pirates that seem to have contributed to the collapse of Bronzes Age civilization. Historians argue endlessly about the impact of the Sea Peoples or whether they existed at all, but if they did exist, they might well have been proto-Ancient Greeks, perhaps Mycenaean in origin. Since having one ancient Greek-esque group fighting another would've been confusing in the book, I made the Caphtori/Red Kraken more like Vikings, which I suppose is a bit of historical anachronism, but Ghost Armor is a constructed world with elves, orcs, and sorcerers, so it's not like I'm writing period accurate historical fiction here. So these are some of the influences that went into Ghost in the Assembly. I don't have any grand concluding point here. Those were just some of the ideas I thought about and went into the story. Though I should mention that for a while I was a graduate student in medieval history and I hated the experience so much I left and went into IT instead. That said ,decades later it has proven a useful source of plot ideas for fantasy novels, so it worked out in the end. One final note, a reader suggested that Kalliope Agramemnos and Mardun Scorneus might hook up in later books. And I have to admit, I laughed at that suggestion. Kalliope would react with dismay at the thought of marrying anyone other than an extremely high ranking Kyracian noble, and at the prospect of marrying Kalliope, Mardun would think about it, fake his death, and flee back to the Empire, preferring to take his chances with the Magisterium rather than Kalliope. Anyway, thank you to everyone who has read Ghost in the Assembly. I am very grateful that so many people have enjoyed the book. So that is it for this week.

After doing a stint on Conan the Barbarian for Marvel, Jason Aaron and Mahmud Asrar aimed to keep their collaboration roaring. They loved their time in Hyperborea but also wanted a realm to claim as their own and one where they could unleash their most vicious instincts. Bug Wars, their latest partnership, published at Image Comics, is the beautifully brutal saga of "The Yard." Here, in the tall grass, below teenager Slade Slaymaker's home, Beetle Clans rage against the Ant Imperium while the Systers of the Spyder whisper of a coming storm. We're excited to have Jason Aaron back on the podcast, this time bringing Mahmud Asrar with him. We discuss their fascination with "Oh, No! I'm Shrunk!" stories and why their version required a bloody battleground. Our conversation also ventures into why Bug Wars may be one of Jason Aaron's most personal stories and how Mahmud Asrar challenged some legitimate creepy crawly phobias to bring this tale to the page. This week's podcast begins with a discussion about our "Comics Will Mend Your Heart" 2025 theme and how it relates to the famous Jack Kirby quote, "Kid...comics will break your heart." When and where did Kirby first say it, and what was the quote's original context? We get into it. Bug Wars #1 arrives in comic shops on February 12th. It's written by Jason Aaron, illustrated by Mahmud Asrar, colored by Matthew Wilson, lettered and designed by Becca Carey, and edited by Heather Antos. Consider continuing this conversation with Jason Aaron via his Substack, Instagram, and Bluesky. Please do the same with Mahmud Asrar via his Instagram and Blueksy.

Hollow Earth – Part Two Episode Description: In Part 2 of our Hollow Earth deep dive, we move beyond the theories and history into the wildest and most mind-bending claims of all. Who (or what) is living down there? Are we talking giants, dinosaurs, or even entire civilizations with advanced technology? We explore modern claims, conspiracy theories about government suppression, and bizarre expeditions that sought to "prove" Hollow Earth is real. If you thought Part 1 was wild, Part 2 takes it to an entirely new level. Episode Highlights: Giants in Hollow Earth — Hopi legends, the Book of Enoch's Nephilim, and Native American tales of underground red-haired giants. Dinosaurs Underground? — From “The Lost World” to modern cryptid sightings, we look at theories about prehistoric creatures surviving in underground ecosystems. Advanced Civilizations — Take a trip to Agartha, Shambhala, and Hyperborea, three of the most famous underground utopias linked to Hollow Earth theory. Government Secrets & Military Suppression — Claims of restricted access in Antarctica, secret military bases near the poles, and government attempts to cover up the entrances to Hollow Earth. Modern Explorations — We take a look at recent attempts to “find” Hollow Earth, including failed expeditions led by figures like Dr. Brooks Agnew. Wildest Theories of All — The most extreme claims about what might be hidden underground, from futuristic underground metropolises to theories of ancient beings influencing surface world events. Don't Miss the Craziest Claims! We save the strangest, most mind-bending claims for last. If you thought the idea of dinosaurs, giants, and government cover-ups was wild, wait until you hear some of these theories.

Welcome back the show peeps! Today my guest is the lovely Cassandra DeAnn.Cassandra's upbringing in a strict religious household left her with a constant need for external validation. While her natural ability as a creative led to a successful career in the wedding industry, her quest for validation influenced a theme of continuous burnout.It wasn't until a spontaneous spiritual awakening during a solar eclipse that she began venturing the path to deconditioning, healing, and self-discovery.On this show we discussed the topics of awakening, starseeds and human design. Cassandra was a lovely guest to have on the show and I will definitely have her back on when FireFae is able to join us.

"The Theft of the Thirty-Nine Girdles" is a short story by Clark Ashton Smith that takes place in the fictional prehistoric setting of Hyperborea.

The Lost Continent of Mu. Join us as we explore the tantalizing possibility that Mu, an advanced civilization predating all known history, was deliberately erased from our collective memory. What secrets lie beneath the waves, and who benefits from keeping them hidden? Key Topics Covered: The Origins of Mu: Was it the cradle of humanity, and why is its existence so fiercely denied by mainstream archaeology? Erasure from History: Could powerful entities have intentionally buried all traces of Mu to control the narrative of human origins? Advanced Technology: Did Mu possess technologies that surpass even modern capabilities, and who might be safeguarding this knowledge today? Suppressed Knowledge: How would the rediscovery of Mu change our understanding of history, and why is this knowledge kept from us? Cultural Remnants: Could the influence of Mu still be embedded in modern societies, hidden in plain sight? Connections to Other Myths: What ties might Mu have to other ancient legends like Atlantis or Hyperborea? World Control: Are secret societies or global elites using knowledge from Mu to maintain their power? Hidden in Plain Sight: Could ancient texts or artifacts contain the keys to Mu's secrets, overlooked by those not in the know? Modern Geopolitics: How might current world tensions be linked to the potential uncovering of Mu and its secrets? Prepare for an episode that will challenge everything you think you know about our past and reveal why the truth about Mu might just be the most dangerous secret of all. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/qthelight/support
Agartha, Shambhala, and Hyperborea are all names for a a mythic spiritually and scientifically advanced kingdom, always in some hidden location, sometimes within the earth, a legend which became an obsession of early Soviet spies, a mad soldier of fortune, and a mystical Russian artist during the 1920s.

#RPGaDay 2024! Apologies, I've been remiss in putting in my RPGaDay 2024 entries -- Day 3 Warhammer Fantasy is the most played. I don't have the chart done yet, but based on 1 game a week with a handful of misses, that seems to be the winner. Traveller is close 2nd! Day 4 Warhammer Fantasy gets another nod! It has had great art since the 1st Edition an continues to show the Grim Dark Old World in a fantastic, and sometimes phantasmagoric way! Day 5 The RPG with Great Writing -- [Only because Reaver isn't out yet], for me is Hyperborea. Love the Swords, Sorcery, and Weird Science vibe. Love Jeff's use of funny words and 'mis-spelling'of armor, and color... Day 6 The RPG that is most easy to use (i.e. little prep, and short learning curve) is Call of Cthulhu. Also a call in from Joe Salvador of Raven God Games (https://ravengodgames.blogspot.com/)...he gives some hints about his game world!

While playing random tracks from my hard drive full music, I stumbled upon several tunes I hadn't heard in forever. I was filled with feelings of nostalgia. That can happen quite a lot when you're as old as I am, certain albums will always remind me of times and places. I remember wearing out a cassette copy of Tangerine Dream's "Hyperborea" on an old boom box when I first started my current job 30 years ago. I started collecting a few obscure, nostalgia-inducing tracks as I listened to music over the next few months. As I sat down to make a mix from these tunes I noticed that I could separate them into two time periods - one is tracks from roughly 1976 to the late 80s. And the other turned into this mix, focusing on electronic/idm music from the 2000s. The mix starts with three of my all time favorite cuts from that period. It felt so good to hear these again and then work them into a mix. Here are links to all the music used in this mix. Because these are about 20 years old I used Boomkat to source the ones that did not have Bandcamp links. https://boomkat.com/products/views-of-distant-towns https://bfleischmann.bandcamp.com/album/welcome-tourist https://styrofoam-music.bandcamp.com/album/nothings-lost https://boomkat.com/products/far-away-trains-passing-by-2020-remaster https://thealbumleaf.bandcamp.com/album/in-a-safe-place https://boomkat.com/products/trois-gymnopedies https://komeit.bandcamp.com/album/kom-it https://boomkat.com/products/tangled-wool-3c00c3ec-205c-42f1-9fca-e0861673764a https://arovane.bandcamp.com/album/lilies https://renajones.bandcamp.com/album/indras-web https://bfleischmann.bandcamp.com/album/welcome-tourist Enjoy this electronic trip down memory lane.

"The Coming of the White Worm" is a short story by Clark Ashton Smith that takes place in the fictional prehistoric setting of Hyperborea. The tale, which was first published in the April 1941 issue of Stirring Science Stories, and sometimes includes the subtitle, "Chapter IX of the Book of Eibon", concerns the victim of a monstrous entity's scourge, and his quest to unravel the secret of the beast.
"The Testament of Athammaus" is a short story by Clark Ashton Smith that takes place in the fictional prehistoric setting of Hyperborea. The tale was first published in the October 1932 issue of Weird Tales Magazine, described as follows: "The state executioner's story of an incredible monstrosity that struck terror to an entire city."
On this episode, we read and review AZAG from Lex Mandrake of Dank Dungeons, a ttrpg inspired by Lovecraft's Dream Cycle, Howard's Conan, and Smith's Hyperborea where you treat with strange entities, battle against weird magics, and explore a world of mystery and wonder!

For centuries, people have spontaneously disappeared in the most mysterious of circumstances. From Missing 411 reports to folklore legends of strange locations, there seems to be a common theme among them. We discuss some of these reports, from the reasonable to the outright outlandish, and consider how strange weather, solar activity, and sacred myths could explain just where these people are going. Then, for our Plus+ members, we explore the parallels between the changes in the cycles of time, historic records of Hyperborea, the shift of the 'Spiritual Pole,' and the coming of the mole-men.

"The White Sybil" is a short story by Clark Ashton Smith that takes place in the fictional prehistoric setting of Hyperborea. The tale was first published alongside David H. Keller's "Men of Avalon" by Fantasy Publications in 1934. "He knew that he had seen the White Sybil, that mysterious being who was rumored to come and go as if by some preterhuman agency in the cities of Hyperborea."
Robert E. Howard (1906–1936) was an influential American author primarily known for his contributions to the genres of fantasy, horror, and adventure fiction. He is best remembered as the creator of Conan the Barbarian, a character who has become an iconic figure in popular culture. Born in Peaster, Texas, Howard demonstrated a keen interest in storytelling from a young age. He began writing fiction in his teens, and by his early twenties, he had already begun to make a name for himself in the pulp magazine market. Howard's stories were published in a variety of popular magazines of the time, including "Weird Tales," "Strange Tales," and "Fight Stories." Howard's most famous creation, Conan the Barbarian, first appeared in the story "The Phoenix on the Sword," published in "Weird Tales" in 1932. Conan, a fierce and cunning warrior from the fictional Hyborian Age, quickly captivated readers with his adventures in a world filled with sorcery, monsters, and intrigue. The character's popularity endured long after Howard's death and has inspired countless adaptations in various media, including books, comics, films, and video games. In addition to Conan, Howard created numerous other memorable characters and settings, such as Solomon Kane, Bran Mak Morn, and the mythical land of Hyperborea. His writing style was characterized by vivid descriptions, fast-paced action, and a knack for creating atmospheric settings. Tragically, Howard's life was cut short when he took his own life at the age of 30. The reasons behind his suicide remain the subject of speculation, but it is widely believed that personal struggles, including his mother's failing health and financial difficulties, contributed to his decision. Despite his untimely death, Robert E. Howard's legacy endures through his influential body of work. His stories continue to entertain and inspire readers, and his impact on the fantasy genre remains profound, cementing his place as one of the most significant writers of speculative fiction in the 20th century.

Today I'm joined by co-creators Pornsak Pichetshote (The Good Asian, Infidel) and Jesse Lonergan (Miss Truesdale and the Fall of Hyperborea) to talk about their new pet centric space adventure, Man's Best, dropping soon from Boom Studios. After my read through, this struck me as Homeward Bound 2099. Three emotional support pets on a spaceship are traveling with a crew of people who are trying to find a new home planet after humanity jacked up planet Earth. The ship crashes, the crew is missing and presumed captured, and the lovable trio set off to try and save the day with the assistance of some advanced tech. If the sound of a ragdoll cat mech, a bulldog with a rocket strapped to his back, and a disabled golden retriever that can make force fields sounds appealing, this is likely a book you are going to love. Lonergan's illustrations are just gorgeous and provide enough softness to hit that sweet spot for kids or just kids at heart. This book made me smile and longtime listeners know that ain't common. Why did Pornsak call this possibly his most personal book ever? Tune in to find out and make sure to get your pre-orders in.

La construcción de mazos es una mecánica y un género relativamente nuevos. Apareció por primera vez en Dominion, de 2008, y sus continuaciones han imitado a menudo las estructuras básicas de Dominion. La idea básica es que las cartas pueden proporcionar acciones, moneda para usar sólo en el turno actual o puntos de victoria. En el Dominion básico, casi todas las cartas proporcionan sólo uno de estos usos, pero muchos creadores de mazos posteriores las combinaron y ofrecieron a los jugadores la posibilidad de elegir cómo usar cada carta. Algunos juegos también se han expandido más allá de estos límites, como las bases que persisten en los tableros de los jugadores hasta que son destruidas en Star Realms.00:00:00 - Inicio00:01:51 - Preview del Campamento Barton 202400:14:08 - Origen de los juegos de construcción de mazos00:18:56 - Juegos de Construcción de mazo o deckbuilding01:37:32 - Nuestras recomendaciones de juegos de construcción de mazos o deckbuilding01:49:42 - AlteredJuegos que se nombran en este episodio:- Arctic Scavengers (2009)- Thunderstone (2009) Dragones y Mazmorras- Tanto Cuore (2009)- Puzzle Strike (2010)- Ascension: Deckbuilding Game (2010) introdujo el draft en el Deskbuilding- Barbarossa (2010)- Quarriors (2011) no deja de ser un derivado de dados- Friday (2011)- Blood Bowl Team Manager (2011)- Rune Age (2011)- Mage Knight Board Game (2011)- Core Worlds (2011)- A Few Acres of Snow (2011)- Eminent Domain (2011)- Nightfall (2011)- Copycat (2012)- Trains (2012)- Legendary: A Marvel Deck Building Game (2012)- Lewis & Clark (2013)- Rococo (2013)- A Study in emerald (2013)- Concordia (2013)- Asgard's Choosen (2013)- Star Realms (2014)- Valley of the Kings (2014)- Roll for the Galaxy (2014)- Hyperborea (2014)- Mythotopia (2014)- Baseball Highlihts (2015)- Hero Realms (2016)- Hands in the Sea (2016)- Aeon's End (2016)- Tyrants of the Underdark (2016)- Clank (2016)- Great Western Trail (2016)- Millenium Blades (2016)- Mystic Vale(2016)- Flamme Rouge (2016)- The Quest for el Dorado (2017)- Too many Bones (2017)- Harry Potter Howards Battle (2017)- Time of Crisis (2017)- After the virus (2017)- The Path of Light and Shadow (2018)- Pócimas y Brebajes (2018)- Obsesión (2018)- War Chest (2018)- Tainted Grail (2019)- Undaunted Normandy (2019)- Lost Ruins of Arnak (2020)- Dune Imperium (2020)- Cubitos (2021)- Rocketmen (2021)- Heat (2022)- Star Wars the Deck Building Game (2023)Enlaces:Canal de anuncios de Telegram: https://t.me/visludicaGrupo de Telegram: https://t.me/visludicaarmyPara escucharnos en audio: https://visludica.com
