Ever outrun a demon deer with too many teeth, watched a mine explode for reasons you definitely didn't cause, and then discovered a whistle that works like a horror movie pause button? No? Then you haven't listened to Part 3 of the Old Gods of Appalachia charity stream, where the RPGBOT crew learns the hard way that in Williams Holler, even the local wildlife deserves a GM intrusion. Support MD Anderson Your donation today could help save someone's tomorrow. The RPGBOT team streamed this series to support the MD Anderson Cancer Research Center, a world leader in cancer treatment, research, and prevention. You can continue that mission right now by visiting https://mdanderson.donordrive.com/participants/9351. Every dollar fights for better treatments and a future free of cancer. In Part 1, Jessie and Isaiah arrived in Williams Holler and learned two things: the town is (1) deeply superstitious, and (2) definitely full of supernatural creatures. After a chilly sermon and a backyard horror encounter, the party descended into the mine for "community service." In Part 2, things got darker underground—literally and metaphorically. Armed with lanterns, folk tales, and a little moonshine, the group met Tommyknockers, broke into an ancient part of the mine, found cursed artifacts, and narrowly escaped through collapsing tunnels. Now, in Part 3, they face what's waiting above ground: hungry not-deer, orchard-bound protections, and a whole new misunderstanding about what they unleashed beneath the mountain. Let's grab our rifles, run uphill, and hope Jam's whistle can save us again. Show Notes Recorded live as part of a charity stream benefiting MD Anderson Cancer Research, this episode continues the flight for survival through Old Gods of Appalachia, using the Cypher System. As Jessie, Isaiah, and Jam escape through the woods, they're hunted by not one but two things that are not deer—abominations with antlers, claws, and too many reasons to drag trespassers back into the mountain. Episode highlights include: Clue the dog becoming the true MVP A silent whistle that scares off eldritch horrors Evidence that the orchard is protected by something older, and possibly hungrier, than anything underground Jessie's moment of terror in the creek, reminding us how trauma echoes The return of Mr. T and his legendary rifle skills Hard questions about why ancient boundaries were broken—and who (or what) wants to mend them Key Takeaways Environmental horror works best when nothing is safe – Water, dirt, light, and air all become points of tension. Player intrusions build cinematic moments – The ability to introduce surprise allies or repel enemies makes scenes feel like horror films. Animals matter – Clue the dog's ferocity creates bond and bravery, giving the party both plot and emotional stakes. The orchard hints at deeper power – Something about the trees turns horrors away, but no one knows if it's a shield or a cage. Group trauma drives the narrative – Jessie's flashback and Isaiah's guilt contextualize the horror on a personal level, not just a cosmic one. Mr. T is officially the coolest person in Williams Holler – Long rifles, gold chains, dead-eyed deer standoffs: what more do you want?

Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Apparel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ Tara & Andrew head back to Westeros to CONTINUE their Game of Thrones Reaction, Breakdown, Commentary, Analysis & Spoiler Review! Tara Erickson & Andrew Gordon react to Game of Thrones Season 2, Episodes 5 (“The Ghost of Harrenhal”) & 6 (“The Old Gods and the New”), continuing HBO's epic adaptation of George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire. With kings rising, alliances crumbling, and dark magic reshaping Westeros, these episodes mark a major turning point in the battle for the Iron Throne. Following the shocking death of Renly Baratheon, Catelyn Stark (Michelle Fairley – 24: Live Another Day, The Others) and Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie – Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Wednesday) flee for their lives, forging one of the strongest bonds in the series. In King's Landing, Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage – The Station Agent, Cyrano) uncovers Cersei's wildfire secret while Joffrey Baratheon (Jack Gleeson) faces the rage of the common people during the unforgettable King's Landing riot. Meanwhile, Jon Snow (Kit Harington – Eternals, Pompeii) meets Ygritte (Rose Leslie – The Last Witch Hunter, The Good Fight) north of the Wall, sparking one of the show's most iconic relationships. At Harrenhal, Arya Stark (Maisie Williams – The New Mutants, The Owners) plays a dangerous game of wits with Tywin Lannister (Charles Dance – Dracula Untold, The Golden Child*) while forming a deadly pact with mysterious assassin Jaqen H'ghar (Tom Wlaschiha – Jack Ryan, Stranger Things). Across the Narrow Sea, Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke – House of the Dragon, Me Before You) seeks alliances in Qarth, only to face betrayal, stolen dragons, and the cryptic threats of the warlocks. Iconic and highly searched moments include the King's Landing riot, Arya's whispered kill-requests, Renly's shadow-beast assassination aftermath, Jon and Ygritte's first banter-heavy encounter, Daenerys' dragons being taken, and Theon's brutal takeover of Winterfell, setting the stage for the chaos to come.

Have you ever gotten up for a full day's work in a haunted coal mine and thought, "Boy, I really hope that bird in a cage doesn't stop singing and doom us all"? No? Then you clearly weren't with the RPGBOT crew in Part 2 of our Old Gods of Appalachia charity stream—where coal dust has claws, headlamps are your best friend, and it turns out you can get shot-in-the-foot vibes without ever firing a gun. Buckle up, y'all. Things are getting deep, dark, and very dusty. Support MD Anderson Cancer Research Before we go further, remember: this campaign was part of a live charity event supporting MD Anderson Cancer Center, one of the top cancer hospitals in the world. Their mission is simple but critical: end cancer for patients everywhere through advanced research, treatment, and compassionate care. You can still make a difference. Donate today at https://mdanderson.donordrive.com/participants/9351 — every dollar helps bring hope, healing, and lifesaving treatment to real people in the fight for their lives. Previously, on the RPGBOT charity stream: Jessie and Isaiah arrived in Williams Holler—an Appalachian company town where coal mine doom meets fire-eyed-almost-deer and fatal sermons about salvation through suffering. After a run-in with a not-deer and a meet-and-greet with Mister T and his questionable Applejack theology, our heroes found themselves deep in the mines for mandatory community service, hammering rocks for redemption. Episode 2 picks up right where we left off: with moonshiner chaos, clumsy pickaxe injuries, Tommyknocker rituals, and a collapsing mine shaft that proves this town is as deadly belowground as it is above. In this episode of the RPGBOT Podcast, the gang digs deeper into Old Gods of Appalachia—both narratively and literally—as they're sent into the bowels of the Williams Holler coal mine to "earn their keep" under the watchful eye of foreman Josh CC. Join Jessie and Isaiah as they: Learn about Tommyknockers—ghostly Appalachian mine spirits who love pennies and hate eye contact. Perform citation-needed rituals involving canaries, fish bits, and whispered thanks. Fail basic pickaxe maneuvers (looking at you, Isaiah) and experience the dark gift of GM intrusions, brought to you by generous donors. Discover strange, ancient artifacts deep underground—hint: they might belong to the town's ominous apple orchard daughter. Encounter a creature that definitely isn't a dog made of coal and bad vibes. Try desperately to outrun physics, collapse, and tiny angry men with stone axes through lightless tunnels. All while raising money for MD Anderson Cancer Research, whose work helps real people—unlike some podcast characters we could name. Key Takeaways Horror is better underground: Claustrophobic tunnels, unstable lanterns, and monster-dust dogs? That's premium Appalachian fear. Cypher System shines in survival tension: Speed and might rolls build both narrative and actual sweat. Tommyknockers are the coal miner's cryptid: They warn you with knocks—if you leave them snacks and don't embarrass them. GM intrusions are extra spicy during charity games: The more you donate, the more you make the players quietly panic. Jessie can shoot, quip, and pull people out of holes: The perfect outlaw protagonist energy. This mine is getting worse by the minute: Strange artifacts, broken elevators, dead canaries? It's all very "maybe we leave now." Basket of weird fruit: The orchard, Mr. T, and a thing calling itself "the green" are part of a cosmic tug-of-war that's barely begun. Thank You to the Old Gods and Monte Cook A huge thank-you to Steve Shell, Cam Collins, and the DeepNerd Media team for creating the masterwork that is Old Gods of Appalachia.

Tolkien was no believer in the power of geo-political solutions to better the state of man, convinced that his duty was to fight “the long defeat” while awaiting God's miraculous and unlooked-for deliverance–eucatastrophe. Though he would not publish the Lord of the Rings for another twenty years, this 1931 poem shows much of that thinking was already well-formed. Happy reading. This is a public episode.

The topic of Forsaken Paladins is the meat in a three listener question sandwich this week. We start off with the idea of corruption, and just how the Old Gods managed to bend the kobolds eating Milly Osgood's grapes in Elwynn Forest to their will, being that they're generally not all that geographically adjacent. Besides which -- kobolds? Really? Then, the Forsaken Paladin discussion, which dives all the way back into a history lesson on how Paladins came to be in the first place. Lastly, why hasn't Lor'themar stepped up and become king of the Blood Elves already? It's been like 15 years since Kael'thas croaked twice in one expansion, dude, I don't think you're reagent-ing anymore. But why hasn't he made that formality a reality?Disclaimer: management may not agree with the opinions expressed by Matt and Joe and therefore please don't yell at us about it.If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon, where you can get these episodes early and ad-free!

Welcome back to When Words Fail, the podcast that battles depression one riff at a time. James Cox—a self‑styled “handicapped” guide on a mission to prove that music can be the therapy we all need.In today's episode we sit down with the ever‑mysterious Jeff Tuttle—known for his work with The Dillinger Escape Plan, the post‑hardcore outfit Old Gods, and the lightning‑fast super‑group Shock Narcotic. Jeff walks us through his winding road from a small‑town Michigan kid who grew up with the eclectic bassist and became a songwriter behind some of the most relentless, under‑a‑minute tracks in modern metal.We'll unpack:The “Super‑Group” Myth – Jeff's take on why labels like “supergroup” can feel limiting, and why the chemistry of a true unit matters more than star power.Songwriting in the Abyss – How he wrestles with riffs that won't fit, splits them into new songs, and finally lets the creative flow take over.From Old Gods to Shock Narcotic – The evolution of his sound, the freedom he finally found writing his own heavy material, and the collaborative dance with vocalist Sean.A Time‑Travel Tour Fantasy – If Shock Narcotic could crash any era, which one would it be and why?Personal Passions Outside the Stage – Jeff's love of classic horror (the Evil Dead forever), his admiration for John McLaughlin's jazz‑fusion vision, and his secret devotion to Sleep Token.Whether you're a metalhead craving ferocious riffs, a fan of genre‑blending experiments, or simply looking for a reminder that angry music can still be a soundtrack for happy souls, this conversation will hit all the right notes.So crank the volume up, tighten those headphones, and get ready for a raw, honest, and unapologetically heavy dive into the mind of Jeff Tuttle—only on When Words Fail. Let the healing begin.

House Umber produces unusually large humans, so large that there might be some giant's blood in their distant ancestry. The Greatjon was King Robb Stark's most loyal Lord… and his Kingmaker. If he lives up to the Umber sigil - a giant breaking its chains - watch out Lannisters and Freys. But House Umber also has a dark side, both in their political dealings and their connection to the Old Gods. Join us for a deep dive into the history and future of the house that lies farther north than any other.Bonus Eps & More - www.patreon.com/historyofwesterosShirts & Stickers - historyofwesteros.threadless.comwww.historyofwesteros.comIntro/Maps - https://klaradox.deFacebook Group - https://bit.ly/howfbDiscord - https://bit.ly/howdiscordNina - goodqueenaly.tumblr.com/

Two listener questions form bookends to an overarching concept this week on the Lore Watch Podcast. First, what is happening to Outland as it is now, 20 years after we visited? Is it still crumbling as it was, and what is becoming of the people and creatures still living there? Then, continuing on the theme, the next question asks, what if Azeroth's fate -- after burrowing Old Gods and Titan stabbing and 20 years of varied psychic abuse -- is already sealed, and our planet is doomed to crumble as well?It's a very optimistic, cheerful episode of Lore Watch this week. We hope you enjoy it?If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon, where you can get these episodes early and ad-free! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

While many modern Christians are unfamiliar with the story, it was previously considered common knowledge that the death and resurrection of Christ sealed away the powers of the ancient gods. Several historians, such as Plutarch, comment on the fact, while early church fathers claimed it as a victory. Pastor Anderw Isker and historian Alex Petkas join me to discuss the fascinating moment in history and what it means for the modern world.

Tonight on Veritas... our special guest is Christopher McIntosh. He's not just a scholar or a historian - he's a wanderer of worlds most people never see. From the gothic silence of Oxford quads to the torch-lit rituals in a frozen German grove, his life reads like a spellbook soaked in history, myth, and personal revelation. In his new book, The Call of the Old Gods, Christopher opens a portal - not just to the old deities of Europe, but to the forgotten places inside ourselves that still remember magic. This isn't theory. This isn't reenactment. This is a lived journey. What happens when a man born into academia surrenders to the irrational, the mystical, the sacred chaos of Pagan tradition? What does it mean to feel the land under your feet as more than dirt - but as memory, presence, and power? We'll explore visions of Pan and the pulse of myth in the modern city. The bloodlines that called to him across centuries. Sacred breath, ancient rites, and the subtle maps drawn by stars and gods alike. But we'll also confront deeper questions - What is real in a spiritual life? What is inherited, and what is chosen? How do you know the gods are calling? Christopher McIntosh's path is not a trend or a rebellion. It's a lifelong act of remembering. And tonight, we remember with him.
