Podcasts about Sunless Sea

This episode was recorded as part of a live panel event at Pelican House on the 13 April 2025 celebrating the London launch of Max's board game Billionaires and Guillotines, published by Pluto Press. In this episode we talked about the role of games and play in the coming revolution; the game mechanics of Billionaires & Guillotines and what its format might offer players; why Max chose the guillotine as the instrument of abolition; and we even played a game role-playing a war profiteer, an aristocrat and a tech overlord. Danny Dorling is Oxford geography professor and bestselling author of books including Seven Children: Inequality and Britain's Next Generation and Peak Injustice: Solving Britain's Inequality Crisis. Meg Jayanth is an award-winning narrative and game designer whose credits include 80 Days, Sunless Sea and Horizon Zero Dawn. Max Haiven is Canada Research Chair in the Radical Imagination, writer of books including Palm Oil: The Grease of Empire and Revenge Capitalism: The Ghosts of Empire, the Demons of Capital, and the Settling of Unpayable Debts. Against the Fascist Game is the second season of The Exploits of Play, a podcast about games and capitalism. Join host Max Haiven and producer Faye Harvey as they interview game designers, critical theorists and grassroots activists struggling with games to understand, confront and abolish the rising threat of fascism in our times. We ask questions including: how is the far-right around the world using games as platforms for ideology, recruiting and violence, both close to home and around the world? How have vicious reactionary politics emerged from a form of capitalism where most people feel trapped in an unwinnable game? What do fascism and antifascism mean today? And what role, if any do play and games have in confronting the fascist threat and creating a new world? The Exploits of Play is a production of Weird Economies, a platform for exploring the intricacies and excesses of our economic imaginaries, in cooperation with RiVAL: The ReImagining Value Action Lab.

Voilà notre investigatrice dans un bien joli pétrin ! Voulant suivre un individu d'intérêt, Virginia Vaughan a pénétré une demeure abandonnée dans un quartier du nord de la ville d'Arkham. Ignorant un avertissement, elle se retrouve face à une menace qu'elle n'avait pas prévue sur sa route… Pour cette troisième partie, nous avons l'occasion de tester LE COMBAT. On explore, on teste, on échange sur les mécaniques et les possibilités du jeu. Bonne écoute ! ------------------- Présentation de l'univers ---------------------- Noir Abysse (Ou Cornebrume, on n'est pas encore décidé) propose une uchronie lovecraftienne dans laquelle le fameux grand ancien s'est finalement réveillé pour mener le monde dans un chaos sans fin. L'océan a avalé la civilisation humaine, les étoiles se sont déplacées, et le temps est maintenant quelque chose de tellement confus. La seule mesure de temps qui compte est celle qui permet de rappeler qu'il y avait un avant, et un après l'éveil. Nous sommes dans cet après. Avec le réveil du grand ancien, les sciences occultes sont désormais plus accessibles, tout comme la folie. Elle peut à présent aider à l'élaboration de machinerie qui autrefois était de l'ordre de l'imaginaire. La civilisation humaine est fracturée, mais n'a pas cessé de croitre pour autant. Il existe alors des points centraux qui sont toujours hors des flots et qui sont des références. Arkham (une ville importante dans l'univers de Lovecraft) est toujours hors de l'eau et demeure une des villes les plus populeuses, mais corrompue jusqu'à la moelle. C'est le nouveau "centre du monde". Dunwich est dorénavant un dangereux marécage dans lequel des fermiers survivre comme ils le peuvent. Et tout ça, c'est sans mentionner ce qui se déroule à Innsmouth... Le moyen de transport le plus utilisé est le bateau à moteur, rendant un simple navire de pêcheur une possession prisée qui permet les déplacements entre des ilots humains. Les plus riches n'ont pas attendu la fin de tout pour construire des villes sous-marines qui ont l'air plutôt d'un tombeau en métal rouillé aux allures de plusieurs sous-marins accrochés les uns aux autres plutôt qu'une véritable cité florissante. Mais le grand ancien, présentement réveillé, n'a pas redonné signe de vie depuis sa destruction volontaire de la civilisation. Il doit pourtant être quelque part ? Au-delà de cette mer brumeuse qui constitue présentement l'ensemble du paysage... Seul le temps nous le dira. Dans Noir Abysse, on y incarne des bougres qui veulent réussir à tirer leur épingle du jeu. Des marins, des journalistes, des explorateurs, des aventuriers, des contrebandiers, des criminels, des cultistes, des mercenaires, des monsieur-madame-tout-le-monde dans un univers qui n'a plus rien de commun.

Le système de jeu est basé sur la deuxième version du Mutant Year Engine. Il s'agit donc d'un dérivé de ce qu'on peut voir dans Twilight 2000 et Blade Runner.

Une expérimentation ! Un test ! Un laboratoire ! P.P. et Marika se lancent ensemble dans un actual play qui sert à la fois de portail pour visiter l'univers du jeu proposé, mais également pour tester ses mécaniques. Noir Abysse (Ou Cornebrume, on n'est pas encore décidé) propose une uchronie lovecraftienne dans laquelle le fameux grand ancien s'est finalement réveillé pour mener le monde dans un chaos sans fin.

This is the seventh episode of The Podgoblin's Hat, with Nina and Dave. You can find it on it's own feed wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back to a new season of the Podgoblin's Hat! This week, Nina is reading the Exploits of Moominpappa and Dave is reading the Memoirs of Moominpappa. Our theme for these books is Memoir. This episode is all about unreliable narrators, self mythologising and the fundamental mystery of our parents. Moominpappa has finally finished his memoirs and is reading them out to the children. Did he really build a Moomin house, or did he just draw it? How much of this story is true? We have a question for Snufkin from upcoming guest Martin Zaltz Austwick, who you can find here. Our Spirits of the Moomins are both memoirs: Fun Home by Alison Bechdel and When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit by Judith Kerr. Dave's spirit of the Podgoblin's Hat is Down to a Sunless Sea.

In deze "Halloween special" podcast spreekt Peter "Retrogamepapa" met horror schrijver Nick Vossen over hoe H.P. Lovecraft zijn schrijfwerk en Cthulhu Mythos menig enge game inspireert. Hierbij gaan ze games af die zich ook echt in de Cthulhu Mythos wereld plaatsvinden alsook games die sterk geïnspireerd zijn op het werk van de wereldberoemde duistere prins van horror literatuur. Nick Vossen heeft hierbij een lijst gemaakt met wat meer Lovecraft "inspired" games, en Peter is gegaan voor een lijst met iets bekendere titels (onder de kenners) die wel volledig in de Cthulhu wereld en lore plaatsvinden. Titels als Eternal Darkness, Sunless Sea en Darkest Dungeon passeren de duistere revue. Uiteindelijk zijn er zoveel titels op te noemen en is er zoveel gebaseerd op de Cthulhu Mythos dat er ook nog een tweede podcast is opgenomen met de oude garde van de ridders.Check Nick Vossen zijn schrijfwerk: https://nickcronomicon.wordpress.com/Retrogamepapa artikelen over Lovecraft: Lovecraft & Videogames, Lovecraft & Social Justice Warriors

Down To A Sunless Sea A Tiller Galloway Adventure Written by David Poyer Narrated by Edison McDaniels “A powerfully written Florida adventure . . . a compelling glimpse at the mysterious world of cave diving.” – The Orlando Sentinel “One of his best novels yet . . . bristles with suspense . . . What makes this novel particularly memorable are the extensive, harrowing descriptions of cave dives, which are riveting enough to terrify experienced divers.” –Publishers Weekly “Fans of Clive Cussler will love this thriller. An essential purchase.” – Library Journal. “White-knuckle diving scenes, constant action.” – Kirkus Reviews “Tiller is a character who grows on the reader . . . As usual, Poyer provides a smashing climax, this one fraught with danger from man and nature.” – Jacksonville Times-Union "There can be no better writer of modern sea adventure around today." – Clive Cussler “Claustrophobics beware! David Poyer's suspenseful cave-diving novel, DOWN TO A SUNLESS SEA, takes readers into water crevices, submerged limestone tunnels, cramped wormholes and subterranean hell holes that give suffocation new meaning . . . Vivid, believable descriptions . . .We can get the fear and adrenaline of cave-diving without ever leaving the dry safety of our favorite comfy chairs.” – Tallahassee Sun Democrat Welcome to the most dangerous sport on earth: where cave divers step into murky Florida ponds and end up hundreds of feet below the ground, threading through the narrow passages of Swiss-cheese-like rock formations, heading down tunnels that may open into caverns of breathtaking beauty, or else suddenly collapse in rockfalls that crush out their air and their lives. Open-water diver and ex-con Tiller Galloway has come to this watery underworld to find out why an old friend died young – and take one last shot at being a father, a lover, and a friend. But with a woman opening up her heart, and a deadly conspiracy closing in around him, Galloway must navigate between lies told aboveground and truths hidden in the depths . . . where a violent battle is about to explode. Combining the knife-edged action of Clive Cussler with the heart stopping storytelling skill of John D. MacDonald, USA Today-bestselling Dave Poyer continues to be one of American's most popular and remarkable thriller writers . . . and a master of underwater suspense. “A ripping good read! Poyer raises the bar with this one. The cave-diving scenes are riveting, claustrophobic, terrifying, and beautiful.” – Booklist Available right now on Audible. https://www.audible.com/pd/Down-to-a-Sunless-Sea-Audiobook/B09V96SKF4?qid=1658209408&sr=1-9&ref=a_search_c3_lProduct_1_9&pf_rd_p=83218cca-c308-412f-bfcf-90198b687a2f&pf_rd_r=E6J71JV1Y8MMPM3PWAD5 To hear more from Edison, listen to all episodes of THE SURGICAL FICTION PODCAST, right now right here! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-surgical-fiction-podcast/id1547756675 #podcast #audio #audiobook #Audible #fiction #nonfiction ★★★★★

Content note: our chapter book touches on bullying, mortality and euthanasia. In discussing it, we also talk about dementia, and how Terry Pratchett dealt with it in his books for children.   This is an episode all about magical, virtual, invisible hats as worn by a pair of powerful girls. And for the first time, we have a guest host! Many thanks to Dave Pickering for stepping into Matt's wonderful shoes.   Our chapter book is A Hat Full of Sky, by Terry Pratchett. It is the second of the Tiffany books, and it's the one where she leaves home and starts to learn witching. We talk about coming of age stories, mean girls, self-respect and how bad thoughts don't make you a bad person.   Our picture book is Satoshi Kitamura's Millie's Marvellous Hat! It's a charming story about imagination and self-expression, and our discussion of it contains a large portion of bickering about what makes a hat a hat. Brim or brimless? Ribbon or no ribbon? Dave brings their experience as an early years library outreach worker as well as their past as a hat-wearer to bear, and shares some ideas about how you could bring this story to life for a group of under-5s. See all of Laura Ellen Anderson's new covers for the Tiffany sequence here: http://www.pickledink.com/blog/terry-pratchett-covers-laura-ellen-anderson   You can watch Pratchett's documentary about living with Alzheimer's here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmejLjxFmCQ&ab_channel=TheDocumentaryChannel112   And watch Satoshi Kitamura tell a kamishibai version of his book Hat Tricks here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtPm7B9_Ri0&ab_channel=BookTrust   Dave and their work can be found here: http://davepickeringstoryteller.co.uk/ We especially recommend their podcast Down to a Sunless Sea here: http://downtoasunlesspod.com/ And if you want to argue with them about hats, you can catch them on twitter @goosefat101   If you enjoyed this Pratt-chat, we also talked about The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents in our episode about Fairytale Retellings: https://eventhetrunchbull.podbean.com/e/episode-14-fairytale-retellings-pattans-pumpkin-and-the-amazing-maurice-and-his-educated-rodents/ And you can hear Dave's first appearance on the show in our episode about dementia: https://eventhetrunchbull.podbean.com/e/episode-12-dementia-moominvalley-in-november-and-the-remember-balloons/   What A Wonderful Day is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License by Shane Ivers of silvermansound.com

What makes games 'savoury'? Why is Twitter such a bad place to get game design advice? And is it ever sensible to push a count off a cliff?This episode, Lottie and Alexis talk art, games and critique, through architect Christopher Alexander to Jack Cohen and Brian Aldiss' fight over speculative xenobiology in Helliconia.

Even when she was writing Harry Potter fanfiction as a child, something I'm sure she won't thank me for sharing, she was doing something she still does now: questioning the world and challenging the parts of it she doesn't like. It's a mindset which would catapult her to fame when collaborating on Inkle's celebrated game 80 Days, as she unpicked the novel Jules Verne famously wrote, and challenged the backwards, colonial attitudes in it.   Since then, she's gone from strength to strength, working on renowned gaming projects like Sunless Sea, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Boyfriend Dungeon and, more recently - in fact very recently - open-world adventure Sable.   She is - drumroll - Meghna Jayanth, and this, in roughly an hour, is her life.

Vi er tilbake igjen etter en god påskeferie og er klare til å snakke om survival crafting-spill, en spillsjanger som vår nyeste programleder Peter kan en hel del om. Vi tar praten om spill som Valheim, Minecraft og 7 Days to Die for å finne ut av hva som kjennetegner spillene og hva som gjør dem appellerende. I lytterposten får vi høre hvilke spill lytterne har måtte legge fra seg til tross for at de prøvde å fullføre dem, og i kunngjøringsspalten snakker vi om betydningen av den kommende nedstengelsen av nettbutikkene til PS3, PSP og PS Vita. Spill vi snakker om i episode 62: 7 Days to Die, Valheim, Minecraft, ZombiU, Red Dead Redemption 2, Horizon Zero Dawn, Lunar: The Silver Star, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time/Majora’s Mask/Minish Cap/Breath of the Wild, Xenoblade Chronicles, The Witcher, Cuphead, Dark Souls, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Divinity: Original Sin, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Ori and the Blind Forest, Super Mario 64, Mega Man, Sonic the Hedgehog, Jazz Jackrabbit, The Talos Principle, Command & Conquer: Red Alert, My Summer Car, The Lion King, Persona 5 Strikers, Apex Legends, Little Nightmares, Alien: Isolation, Baba is You, NieR: Automata, Analogue: A Hate Story, Snake Pass, Half-Life, Black Mesa, The Fall, Republique, Alpha Protocol, Burnout Paradise, Celeste, Dying Light, Hob, HUE, Oceanhorn, Sunless Sea, The Book of Unwritten Tales, The End is Nigh, Unmechanical, Schrödinger’s Cat and the Raiders of the Lost Quark.

Original Air Date: Monday 5 April, 9 pm EasternDescription:The first half of this week’s show is all about the art and craft and future of podcasting! Storyteller Dave Pickering joins us from his home in Lancaster in the north of England to talk about his brilliant podcasts (“Getting Better Acquainted”, “Down to a Sunless Sea”, “The Family Tree” and more), about college lectures he gives about podcasting, about where he sees the art form at present, and what he thinks the future might hold. Actress Lily Holleman drops by in the second half of the show to reveal her Screen Actors Guild Awards ballot and to discuss what she looks for in performances. A whole bunch of great movies and performers get discussed. Great podcasts and great movies – truly two of our favorite things!

Dans cet épisode presque printanier de 3d8plus4, on jase nouvelles avec la prochaine sortie de l'expansion Barbarossa pour le jeu Unity of Command 2, du jeu gratuit Sunless Sea sur EPIC Store et de la technologie DeepNostalgia qui permet de bouleverser nos vieilles photos! Côté jeu vidéo, Dan et Luis ont joué un peu à Geneforge 1, un remake d'un jeu vieux de 20 ans - et pas grand chose d'autre! Luis jase ensuite du désastre que constitue 'Kill Team : Pariah Nexus', la nouvelle boîte inexplicable de Games Workshop.

USA Today -bestselling author David Poyer writes gripping undersea thrillers in the tradition of Clive Cussler and John D. MacDonald. This time on THE SURGICAL FICTION PODCAST, an excerpt from David Poyer's novel BAHAMAS BLUE, with the continuing undersea exploits of Tiller Galloway and his sidekick Shad Aydlett. Narrated by Edison McDaniels. Salvage diver and ex-con Tiller Galloway vowed he'd never work for "The Baptist" again. Until the menacing kingpin makes him an offer he can't refuse, sending him deep into the beautiful blue Caribbean to raise fifty tons of sunken cargo-- a dive to the razor's edge of death. Caught in the cross fire of a crazed underboss, hostile islanders, and a corrupt Bahamian government, Tiller and his Hatteras Island sidekick Shad Aydlett take on a nightmare of double crosses, as a scenario more sinister than he ever imagined begins to unfold. From the author of Down to a Sunless Sea comes this shattering sequel to Hatteras Blue, a tale as explosive as those of Hammond Innes and Peter Benchley, and packed with some of the most breathless and vivid undersea scenes ever written. Bahamas Blue was originally published by St. Martin's in 1991, as the second book in the Tiller Galloway series. This edition incorporates many minor cleanups and improvements. I'm happy you can enjoy it once more! I hope you'll like it, and will go on to read the other Galloway novels: Hatteras Blue, Louisiana Blue, and Down to a Sunless Sea. Audiobook available soon on Audible. Narrated by Edison McDaniels. //////////////////// THE SURGICAL FICTION PODCAST is narrated by Edison McDaniels.

Jim spent many years working at PC Gamer, founded Rock, Paper, Shotgun and has since set up his own video game studio, Big Robot, and made the games Sir, You Are Being Hunted and The Signal from Tölva. We talk his early memories of Amstrad CPC and Amiga gaming, why philosophy is important, how S.T.A.L.K.E.R represents the open world we were promised, the genesis and risks of Rock, Paper, Shotgun, whether or not he misses video game journalism, and why he's the best at Speedball 2.

(CN: Discussion of dementia and memory loss) This week we're reading books linked by themes of dementia and memory. Our chapter book is Moominvalley in November, by Tove Jansson, the last in the Moomins series, which sees various characters returning to Moominvalley, trying to remember and forget in turn, in the absence of the Moomin family Our picture book is The Remember Balloons by Jessie Oliveros, illustrated by Dana Wulfekotte, which draws a beautifully simple metaphor for dementia. We have our first special guest this week – Dave Pickering is an aficionado on all things Moomins. He also explores dementia in his podcast Down to a Sunless Sea, in which he documents a series of conversations with his father living with dementia. You can find Down to a Sunless Sea here - directory.libsyn.com/shows/view/id/downtoasunlesssea Dave has also created many other podcasts and projects – find out more at http://davepickeringstoryteller.co.uk/ He also contributed to this book for children about masculinity: https://www.waterstones.com/book/what-is-masculinity-why-does-it-matter-and-other-big-questions/jeffrey-boakye/darren-chetty/9781526308146 You can find Dave on Twitter @goosefat101 What A Wonderful Day is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License by Shane Ivers of silvermansound.com

Our picture book this week is Sumi's First Day of School Ever by Soyung Pak and illustrated by Joung Un Kim. We talk about how scary it can be to start a new school, especially in a new country, and how drawing can be a bridge between people even in the absence of a common language.

General content note for the series: death, dementia, old age, mental health issues Additional content note: sex, assisted dying, war  This episode is the last episode of the first (and possibly last) season of this show, and it's about legacy. I’ve been planning this show for years. The earliest recording I’ve used was recorded by my dad on cassette tape in 1984. This show has covered 96 years of my dad’s life and 38 years of mine. I started recording interviews with my dad in 2011 and began writing essays about our relationship and his journey through old age towards death in 2017. I’m glad I made this show. That it hasn’t just remained an imagined show. It’s been a tough journey at times, but it’s one I’m so glad I’ve made. Thanks for travelling on it with me.

General content note for the series: death, dementia, old age, mental health issues Extra content note: grief, suicide, terminal illness, abuse, bereavement In the final full episode of the podcast using content funded by the British Podcast Awards and the Wellcome Trust I talk to counselor and psychotherapist Karen Pollock MBACP about grief and death. This is an episode about ways of thinking (and feeling) about bereavement, therapeutic approaches to change and loss, how the systems and attitudes around and inside us effect the ways we deal with difficult things, and so much more. It is the only episode of the show that doesn't feature my dad's voice but he is very present in the conversation.

General content note for the series: death, dementia, old age, mental health issues Additional content note: euthanasia/suicide But no matter what he forgets, it can’t take away the love we have shared, that existed, and will always have existed, even when he has forgotten it; even when he is no longer alive to remember it; even when I have forgotten it; even when I am no longer alive to remember it. It happened. And that has to be enough. This episode is about movement, memory, change, time, distance, tears, connection, therapy, sadness, love, grief and everything else that can come in waves.

General content note for the series: death, dementia, old age, mental health issues Extra content note: bereavement, pain, terminal illness (including cancer) and the caste system In the seventh full episode of the podcast using content funded by the British Podcast Awards and the Wellcome Trust I talk to Khyati Tripathi about studying death. This is an episode about understanding and navigating mortality and creating spaces where we can talk about difficult and taboo topics.

General content note for the series: death, dementia, old age, mental health issues Additional content note: euthanasia/suicide I realised that maybe our positions aren’t that different after all. And I wondered if, in the moments that I manage to believe in hope, I seem as inspiring and naïve as he does. It made me wonder if maybe the spark I see in him, that belief in people and ideas, if that isn’t also in me, despite my frequent feeling that it isn’t. If I might communicate that to other people regardless. If the world as humans know it lasts for long enough for me to reach a similar age as my dad, I wonder if I will be someone who frustrates and delights young people with my faith in them, whether I will still accept the possibility of hope and change? This episode is about belief, hope and progress. It considers technological change, generational change, spiritual change and political change.

General content note for the series: death, dementia, old age, mental health issues Extra content note: operations, medical procedures, assisted dying, euthanasia In the sixth full episode of the podcast using content funded by the British Podcast Awards and the Wellcome Trust I talk to sociologist Dr Gill Haddow about embodiment, replaceable hearts, everyday cyborgs, humanimals and unhealth. This is an episode about possible futures and how we feel about our bodies.

General content note for the series: death, dementia, old age, mental health issues Additional content note: war, medical operations, suicidal ideation I’m still pretty terrified of my dad stopping existing. He has been such a part of my life that it feels like a world without him in it is impossible. But ever since I was a child, I have been imagining that world. I’ve played out his death so many times. I’ve written it into fiction and songs. I’ve spent hours in my mind going through how it will be. What I might think and do. How it will affect me. How it will affect my family. And I’ve always thought it would probably happen soon. But it never has. This episode is about confronting death and confronting love. It includes the story of my dad's war and of his heart attack and quadruple heart bypass.

General content note for the series: death, dementia, old age, mental health issues This episode is about creating things: imaginary worlds, homes and friendship. It's also about walls: drawing on walls, putting up boundaries, and pulling down the walls inside your mind and heart.

On today's show, Marc starts off talking about Apex Legends and how/why they're thinking about retiring from the game for good, followed by some rumors of a potential upcoming Xbox event. After that, they talk about what they've playing, from a game about shooting emojis and rabbis to a game about who knows what 'cause the game doesn't do a good job of telling you anything. Anyway, something-something in da zee and I think I have to pee, cheers and enjoy the anime-zing(ly confusing) show. Anyway, that's it and that's all folks. If you're feeling extra generous, you can become a patron, donate a little something-something, or subscribe to show your support for the site, the plentiful podcasts, the various videos, the absurd art, and all of the other nonsense we make over here at Pixelated Sausage.
