Happy New Year! We return with an in-depth creator chat between Russ, Kyle and two of the voices behind The Adventures of Bud and Herb Evan Bivins and Anna "Fitz" Fitzgerald. In this nearly hour long conversation we walk through each other's process, what we have found rewarding about actual play podcasting and SO MUCH MORE! We had an absolute blast speaking with them and look forward to more collaborations to come. After the chat you'll hear an episode of The Adventures of Bud and Herb - Out in the KoldhørnThe Adventures of Bud & Herb is a hybrid show — half polished audio fiction, half actual play — but all one big unfolding story. If you've ever wished a TTRPG podcast felt like a TV show in your ears, this is it. The first half of the season is scripted, the second half is played in a game of Daggerheart by Darrington Press. No one, including the creators, know how the season will end.

Send us a textIn Episode 94, the hosts take a hard look back at the Warhammer hobby in 2025 and ask a blunt but necessary question of Games Workshop: what have you actually done for us lately?This is a year-in-review episode that cuts through the hype to examine the good, the bad, and the ugly. Which factions genuinely received attention and meaningful support—and which were left waiting? Were the reveals and roadmaps exciting, or did some feel like teases without delivery? And in a year full of previews, balance updates, and edition talk, where did expectations line up with reality… and where did they miss the mark entirely?The conversation also turns inward. After everything that happened in 2025, how do we actually feel about the hobby right now? Are we still excited? Still optimistic? Or just cautiously hopeful?This episode is equal parts critique, reflection, and honest discussion—no salt for the sake of it, but no blind praise either. If you've ridden the highs and lows of Warhammer this year, this one's for you.Survey (closes Dec 31st)Support the showEnjoying the podcast and want to help support it?There are plenty of ways to show your love and keep the content coming!

Tonight on the GeekNights Book Club, we discuss Jacqueline Harpman's phenomenal I Who Have Never Known Men.I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman is a dystopian sci-fi novel. It was originally written in French and published in 1995. It was not very well known until recently it surged in popularity.This renewed interest in the book is not unfounded. Although it is only thirty years old, I was convinced it was at least twenty years older. It reads much like the foundational dystopian sci-fi novels like 1984, Fahrenheit 451, or Brave New World.It tells the story of a woman who has lived her entire life in a prison. She has no memory of anything else. In the prison cell are only women. The other women do remember life before the prison, but nothing else. They don't know why they are there, and assume they will never be let out. From that point, various events begin to unfold.Related LinksForum ThreadBook Club: I Who Have Never Known MenDiscord ChatBook Club: I Who Have Never Known MenBluesky PostBook Club: I Who Have Never Known Men
