This week, I tell Julius all about the one-shot RPG, Dawn of the Orcs.  In this game, you and up to seven friends will play as the council of a kingdom under attack for a more powerful enemy empire.  To fight back, the council approves the creation of an army of orc creatures.  You play through a number of chapters describing the ongoing war and the evolution of the orcs you have constructed. I really enjoyed this game and found it easy to play. * Dawn of the Orcs (itch.io)

Orc pods and Uruk-hai origins: lore-breaking or the best possible changes? In this episode, we dig into Peter Jackson's “orc pod” scenes and the cinematic invention of Lurtz, the alpha Uruk-hai, We also weigh Tolkien's less-than-precise lore against the movies' need for explaining the Uruk-hai—and debate just how much Jackson's changes actually fit Middle-earth. We also explore: What Tolkien actually says (and doesn't say) about how Uruk-hai were made Why “orc pods” feel a bit too much like The Matrix—and whether it helps or hurts the films Lurtz as a character: does inventing a main orc villain actually make the Boromir scene more powerful?

Today Jon and Julio talk Orcs and Owlbears

Debata s Respektem: Zmínka o neziskových organizacích je v programovém prohlášení ANO, SPD a Motoristů hned několikrát. Počítá se se zřízením veřejného registru všech dotací, s povinností transparentně zveřejňovat výdaje, s označováním organizací financovaných ze zahraničí nebo s omezením využívání veřejných peněz na politický aktivismus, který však není blíže specifikován. Jak na další debatě v Knihovně Václava Havla upozorňuje vedoucí mediálního oddělení Člověka v tísni Tomáš Urban, podobný scénář neziskovky znají z autoritářských států. Včetně finančních škrtů, které vláda Andreje Babiše z ANO chystá. Ministr zahraničí a pověřený ministr životního prostředí Petr Macinka z Motoristů nedávno ve svém pořadu na XTV vyjmenovával konkrétní projekty z programu transformační spolupráce s tím, že „nezůstane kámen na kameni", přičemž kromě Člověka v tísni mnohokrát zmínil i organizaci Arnika, která se zaměřuje na ochranu životního prostředí. Její zástupce, Václav Orcígr, který je vedoucím kampaně Praha - město pro život, na debatě doplňuje, že organizace už musela začít s propouštěním. A jiných neziskovek se to pravděpodobně dotkne ještě výrazněji. Proč by lidé měli na Macinkou zmíněné projekty přispívat? Nejde v době všudypřítomných konfliktů podpora enviromentální oblasti stranou? Jak zásadní je pro neziskové organizace podpora od státu a jak se mu jejich činnost ekonomicky vyplácí? Dalo se na přístup nynější vládní koalice připravit? Moderuje Zuzana Machálková.

The official announcement of Crows by MCDM Productions, a new dungeon-crawling RPG led by James Introcaso appeared on Patreon. The game uses D6s and D10s, features a health system tied to inventory slots similar to Knave, and determines experience points based on the value of loot collected. It differs from a previous project, Draw Steel, by including potential negative results on the “power roll” but allows unlimited circumstantial bonuses for good planning. Crows also includes a base-building component where players develop their headquarters town and is set in a world where Archmages, corrupted by their magic, disappeared after warring as Necromancers. Undergoblin Heist by Hit Point Press is a hardcover adventure available with six accompanying miniatures. This wild sandbox goblin adventure is compatible with both Dungeons & Dragons 2024 Edition and Dungeon Crawl Classics. The players take on the role of the “Grotty Jacknives,” expert sneak-goblins tasked by Boss Soot to steal three magical artifacts from a cabbage goblin village. The adventure includes pre-generated characters, new species/class rules, a new spell, and a goblin Critical Hits table, and is written by Thom Denick with art and design by Bee Ho. The “Magic: The Gathering’s newest Secret Lair” drop, titled ‘Prints Charming,’ was released on February 2 as a “Chaos Vault” experiment by Wizards of the Coast. The collection is a quartet of green spells with different illustration styles, but its unusual aspect is the variable pricing tiers. Instead of a fixed price, the drop was offered at multiple points, ranging from a low of $9.99 up to $39.99 (and a foil version up to $49.99), ostensibly to test how much fans value the product. Despite the secondary market value of the cards being around $6, the experiment yielded bizarre sales results, with the most expensive $49.99 foil edition selling out earlier than the cheaper $29.99 foil edition, indicating some buyers were voluntarily paying more. The article speculates this could be due to hopes for a secret bonus card, automated bots, or individuals opting for a higher price to leave cheaper options for others. Orcs & Crafts Zine, a Kickstarter project focused on miniature terrain building rather than a game itself. The zine aims to teach the basics of creating miniature worlds, with the first 60-page issue focusing on cardboard foundations and requiring only basic tools like scissors and a hobby knife. The project emphasizes accessibility, creative control, and using everyday materials. It is supported by a team of “Orc assistants” like Crathar (Chief Crafting Officer for advanced tips), Painscar (focused on safety), and Bob (providing basic tips). The zine includes planning guides, technique breakdowns (e.g., wood planks, hills), step-by-step building instructions (e.g., Simple Cardboard Tree, Ruined Gnomish Distillery), and even unique movie recommendations from Martin for background crafting entertainment. #crowsrpg #undergoblin #eeldenring #orcsandcrafts Undergoblin Heist – 5e D&D (Hardcover) – Hit Point Press https://hitpointpress.com/products/under-goblin-heist-5e-d-d-hardcover Orcs and Crafts Zine: https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/game-machinery/orcs-crafts-zine Call of Cthulhu Bundle: https://humblebundleinc.sjv.io/Xmz13G Free Guild Ball Starter Set: https://steamforged.com/products/guild-ball-starter-kit Warmachine on MyMiniFactory: https://mmf.io/upturned Mantic Companion App: https://companion.manticgames.com/ Use our Referral code: MCTXEE Support us by Shopping at Miniature Market (afilliate link): https://miniature-market.sjv.io/K0yj7n Support Us by Shopping on DTRPG (afilliate link): https://www.drivethrurpg.com?affiliate_id=2081746 Matt’s DriveThruRPG Publications: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?author=Matthew%20Robinson https://substack.com/@matthewrobinson3 Chris on social media: https://hyvemynd.itch.io/​​ Jeremy's Links: http://www.abusecartoons.com/​​ http://www.rcharvey.com ​​Support Us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/upturnedtable Give us a tip on our livestream: https://streamlabs.com/upturnedtabletop/tip​ Donate or give us a tip on Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/2754JZFW2QZU4 Intro song is “Chips” by KokoroNoMe https://kokoronome.bandcamp.com/

The Fellowgroup continued their journey southward towards Gondor. As their guide for this leg of their journey, Guy struggled to navigate the area, but they finally made it to the large hill of Amon Hen. Yolo spotted a stone seat at the peak and rushed up to it, while Denethea trudged after him in a sour mood and GanDelf remained ethereally aloof. Adam took over as the hunter after criticizing Tyler's ability to only find watermelons, but then he could only find melons too, so he disguised them as eggs. As they argued about the source of the supposed eggs, an arrow struck Guy's hand. Can the Fellowgroup escape an ambush by orcs?

We open the month with a discussion of some recent NAF data that shows that the Orcs and the OWA are tops in both popularity and success. Should something be done?!   Afterwards, we talk about the High Elf preview from GW along with our thoughts about NAF's ruling on Slann - and you are NEVER going to believe what Darcy thinks! We recap Hammerslam, update you all on the Great Plains Grand Prix standings (thanks, Shawn!), and prime you up for both the Cry Fowl Cup and the Great Plains Open. Sprinkle in a few interviews - Charles Cassier, Quinn Ashmead, and Brandon Easton - and you have yourself a tidy little bit of Blood Bowl to listen to... ...but you will be doing yourself a disservice if you come for the content and not stay for the world premiere of "The Battle Cry of Horatio!"

Published 1 February 2026This week we try and make keel boat racing easier, cheaper, more fun and more appealing for all. After our ORC discussion (Episode 335) I had a phone call from an old mate, Brett Whitbread. He had some frustrations about IRC and handicapping systems in Australia, but rather than just whinge, he had some ideas to improve it. We run through these ideas this week and present them to the World. It could be a game changer. We are really interested to hear your thoughts.

What if The Lord of the Rings was never just a story?What if Tolkien was encoding a spiritual map for men living in the modern war for the soul?In this episode of The Manly Catholic, James Caldwell speaks with author and philosopher Paul List, co-author of Mount Doom: The Prophecy of Tolkien Revealed, to expose what Tolkien was really writing about: original sin, virtue and vice, artificial intelligence, and so much more.Paul reveals how Tolkien's mythology is a Catholic psychological map of the human soul. Hobbits as habits. The Ring as addiction. Sauron as AI. Middle-earth as the mind. Vice as Orcs. Virtue as the Fellowship. Faith and reason as elves and men.Temperance, fortitude, prudence, and justice as the cardinal virtues sent on a mission to destroy the Ring.This conversation connects Tolkien to Aquinas, Aristotle, St. Augustine, and how prophetic his beloved stories really are for the modern man.James also issues a direct challenge to men:Stop living passively. Clean up your habits. Reject pornography. Reject the virtual world. Build competence. Build virtue. Cultivate discipline. Become dangerous in holiness.This is not entertainment.This is formation.And neutrality is no longer an option.Push play if you're done being comfortable and ready to become dangerous for Christ.

We've taken a little hiatus for almost half of 2025, but Shandra is back with some special guest hosts in the new year.In Episode 75, my Filmstagram buddy, Campo, comes on to discuss the Dungeons & Dragons movies. We discuss the poorly reviewed movie from the year 2000 with Marlon Wayans, entitled Dungeons & Dragons, and then of course, the new one with Chris Pine and Michelle Rodriguez from 2023, D&D: Honor Among Thieves.We discuss a variety of things in this episode: how Jeremy Irons acted his heart out in the former film, how Michelle Rodriguez gained 15 pounds of muscle in the latter film, and why is there not a bad '90s movie, like, at all?

In this episode, we sit down with the purest of intentions and immediately derail into absolutely everything. We start by catching up on our week, which somehow includes community theater, a Christmas carol, and the realization that small-town productions carry higher emotional stakes than most blockbuster movies. From there, we naturally move into a very serious and completely authoritative discussion about orcs, goblins, and why fantasy creatures seem to have better branding than actual humans. Christmas movies also come under fire, especially the question no one wants to ask out loud: what exactly were the stakes in Home Alone, and why did an entire generation decide booby traps were a reasonable life skill? Somewhere between confessing our household maintenance failures and acknowledging projects that will never be finished, we introduce “the brick,” a digital detox tool designed to help us stop staring at our phones like they personally wronged us. That opens the door to a broader conversation about distractions, modern communication, and why texting feels emotionally hollow unless it’s padded with an irresponsible number of exclamation points. Naturally, this all slides into conspiracy territory. We explore the mysterious Tartarian civilization, debate the moon landing with just enough confidence to be alarming, and talk about how AI is quietly shaping what we believe, what we doubt, and what keeps showing up in everyone’s feed. Accents and cultural stereotypes make an appearance too, not because we planned it, but because they tend to sneak into conversations whether invited or not. By the end, we’ve questioned reality, Christmas, technology, history, and whether or not it's reasonable to use a single emoji as a response to every situation.
