Lovely Bird Friend : What’s New @ the Table

Goblin sexuality. Did I want this to be the newsletter title? Of course. But I could never do that to your inboxes, dear readers. Last week we took a holiday break from Perpetua, but released five whole episodes of Side Story looking back on some of the varied interesting gaming experiences we’ve had this year.

Upcoming Stream on January 1st @3PM EST

This Thursday we'll be streaming Jack, Keith and Sylvie playing Adam Bell's ashcan of The Locked Room Murder Mystery, a boardgame-inspired TTRPG about creating a cast of characters and setting the stage for the perfect crime.

Realis 16 - Out of the Burning City Pt. 3

Realis is a science fiction and dark fantasy series that contains discussion of violence, injury, slavery, cannibalism and disease. This campaign never depicts sexual violence, always shows you where the sword goes but never what it does, and always airs on the side of maximalism.

The ReGnostica’s Third Philosopher of Desire once wrote that “‘appetite’ is the brother of ‘impetus,’ yet acts like its father.” Yes. Fine enough. But both are children of the great Pte...

Yamcha’d Twice : What’s New @ the Table

WOW, I’m unconscious. Last week brought not one but two new episodes of Perpetua. It’s the gift of fewer cliffhangers, basically! Listen to Perpetua 26: In Too Deep 02, then chase it with 2025-12-23 15:00:24 +0000 UTC View Post

The Slop Lord - Split: Media Club Plus S02E09

Welcome to Media Club Plus: a podcast about diving into the media that interests us and the stories that excite us. This season we're watching a selection of M Night Shyamalan movies.

This episode we watched Split. THERE WILL BE NO NEW EPISODE on the 30th, we are taking an episode off for the holidays. Check back next year, on the 13th, to hear us talk about Glass.

We all hated talking about this one. James McAvoy plays 24 people and 3 of them kidnap 3 girls. Then he uses his brai...

Waste (Positive) : What’s New @ the Table

I also don’t care, but in a different way. Welcome back to the black and white side of our Realis campaign. $5+ patrons have a new episode, Realis 15 - Out of the Burning City Pt. 2, with more on the way. If you’re a fan of Berserk (or more broadly of media wher...

Realis 15 - Out of the Burning City Pt. 2

It is the great dilemma of chaos that one loses access to their reasoning faculties while inside of it. In placid conditions, intimacy generates knowledge. Exegesis is drawn from long, calm nights with a so-called holy text. A cure emerges from study done in the well managed sickhouse. The botanist lives among the trees, seeing flower become fruit become husk become seeds, seeds become scattered… and only then, finally, can they truly see the forest.

But in chaos… such intimacy is ...

Two Days : What’s New @ the Table

The School for Fast People. Last week we released Perpetua 25: In Too Deep 01 and picked things up post-chaos with the Eastern party. Lessons were learned, lessons are being learned, or lessons will probably be learned at some point depending on which character you ask. Listen wherever you do and 2025-12-09 15:00:17 +0000 UTC View Post

This episode we watched The Visit and next time we'll be back with Split. Also have you seen our most recent Patreon episode, the Last Airbender watchalong that Austin joined us for? It's good! We've got a new bonus in the can too, the Season 1 crew reassembled to record an episode on the non canon movie P...

Comedy Action: What’s New @ the Table

There’s a reason we’re podcasters and not apron-makers. Does anyone else remember how in Way of the Samurai 4 for the PS3 there was a knight character named ‘Melinda Megamelons’ because of a translation error regarding the historical name ‘de Cameron’ being written in katakana as ‘Dekameron?’ Because that’s what I think about every time I hear or read the name ...

My Beautiful Gem: What’s New @ the Table

The Horn of Honesty. I’m learning a lot about food through the western continent party in Perpetua. I’m learning that ‘salty rubber bands’ are a thing one might crave. I’m learning I’ve been underutilizing seaweed. I’m learning how many things can be flash-frozen to delicious effect. Perpetua 23: Aquatic Ambush! 01 is out in the main podcast feed now – a...

Don't Bother the Monkeys - After Earth: Media Club Plus S02E07

Welcome to Media Club Plus: a podcast about diving into the media that interests us and the stories that excite us. This season we're watching a selection of M Night Shyamalan movies.

Sexless Leguizamo: What’s New @ the Table

A quick note: As we posted on Bluesky yesterday we’ve had to take a little catch-up break on Perpetua the past couple weeks, but there will be a new episode this week – just in time to take the edge off of any Thanksgiving travel U.S. listeners may have.

You could put e...
