Daniel's Dread Talk - Meet the Boo Crew

0:15 Well, hello everyone, and welcome to this special episode of Daniels dread Tales where we're going to meet some of the regular cast and answer. Some questions that you guys had. I know. Is that an intro? I don't know how to do these things. I usually write about anything is an intro. If you're brave enough this is. Yeah this is true. That's those are the words that Cafe is lived by some. So do we want to maybe go around in a circle and just say our names real quick or yeah, let's let's do that. I think top down is probably best. You're right. We don't have a circle, we are well yeah I guess we'll start with me. Hey there, I'm Daniel.

0:58 Fernandez he him. I'm the guy you here on most episodes. It's sort of my show but it's everybody show. Hi, I'm Damian. He, they, I am on a few of the episodes as well. Hi there? I'm next. Oh, hi, everyone. My name is Dominic. He him. I am one of the voices that you hear at the very beginning and I'm also the editor and for that, we love you. Oh thanks. Hi, I'm Nathan. Freedman pronouns, he him. And I'm also pretty commonly on this podcast and I do nothing else for this group. You're the one of the local Kaiju you experts, so, you know, It's weird that we have two of those, you know, it's important. You need to have a backup in case that he would either of us, goes down, true true.

1:47 There's nothing wrong with having more experts than one, and I'm Russell McCracken, eBay, I do playing in many of the games, and I'll be running a couple, and I stick my fingers in all of them. All right? So should we go through some of these questions that we have here? I'm all right. With that your Russell collected? Some questions for us, you know, what do you want to do? Want to do the questions? Russell, should I do the Sure, I can do that. Where is everybody from? I think some of our listeners would probably be surprised to learn that we have. None of us met each other. In Personnel, we are from all over the place. I live in Los Angeles. I am in London, Ontario. Actually, I'm currently in Phoenix.

2:30 Arizona, I'm in Champaign, Illinois. I am way the fuck up north. You never heard of where I am, but it's in, I We're spread across three different time zones. That's Canada that you don't know where I am though, right? Oh yeah, very Canada, very Canada. Not so far. North that it's Alaska though. If I want to be honest yeah what does everybody do? Outside the podcast? I am a teacher. I am I shape the young minds? I work in a plant that makes insulation for power Transformers as my day job. And then I also stream on Twitch and pretend that people Like what I put up there, I do I'm a I'm an it, I do a lot of troubleshooting.

3:15 I am currently unemployed, but my primary hobby is I like to write for Fun and Profit. Well, hopefully profit will get there when we get there. I understand that struggle. I am also actually more or less unemployed at the moment. I've done a lot of construction. I'm trying to be a professional painter. It's the winter. So it's not going so good because it's like minus 3 here. Nobody wants painting in - 30. Yeah, so we've got a question here from debt. Alex. He's wondering why we decided to go with horror for the podcast. Yeah, I think that one's a Daniel specific question. Yeah, I did come to you folks, with the pitch of horror. Yeah, that's fair. Two down you.

3:58 Yeah, and to be fair, some people did just okay. No, it's fine. No. People are busy or people doing other things. But horror was, it's always something I've liked to run horror games. I used to be, they would be a break from our long-running, like Dungeons and Dragons games or something that they would do. I would always want to do a Halloween special of like games that I would run. I also ended up running a couple of Like spin-off spooky games for old podcast, called Friday night quests. That I was sort of got me doing podcasts in the first place, I was the first one I was on and it really clicked with me, I'm actually kind of mixed on horror movies and media in general.

4:49 I think some of his good, but I'm not one of those guys who wants to watch like every single SQL and watch them when they get really bad, but like kind of like them. But I really like him in a tabletop space because I think you could get, like, some really interesting stuff through Horror. In particular you could deal with like, well, all sorts of tough issues, but they also could be kind of fun depending on how you want to do it. And it works really great for an anthology show because, you know, a lot of people end up dead and that's okay. You know, in a long-running narrative podcast, you can't kill off all your characters. It's frowned on anyway. Yeah, not with that, attitude. Dude you can do anything you want rules are made up, but generally audiences don't like that. And they're definitely it's difficult to build arcs what everybody ends up dead.

5:38 So, yeah, I guess that's why we're doing horror and I hope people like it. I mean, I'm a big fan, awesome. And getting involved with this is made me realize just how into order I am like, I thought I was gonna have to do some research so I could get into the right mindset in this, like, seeing it seeing it, seeing it seeing it for the longest time I was Kind of like a baby about horror. Like I didn't want to see anything like oh it's gonna be too scary. Scary is a bad emotion. My brother, still says that one of my brother says, why would you watch a scary movie? Scary is bad. It feels bad when you're scared, so you shouldn't do it. But I like them and they've grown on me partially, because my wife will watch a horror movie every now and then I'm trying to follow along, that's fair. Yeah.

6:20 Hilariously, I scare very easily. I'm not into horror movies, like I have to watch them set. In hand, first through something like the kill count, or something like that, because I frightened so easily. But I figured it'd be easier to do it in a tabletop setting and I was right? Yeah, I mean it's to be fair, it's kind of hard to be scared in a tabletop setting. I'd love if I could actually scare someone but we're mostly going to be dealing with spooky themes and stuff. It's kind of hard to like actually be like blah. Spook you out. That's that's going to Peak. I'm sorry. Dominic you're you're fine. You're fine. It's all good. It's all good. I've handed out a lot of Peaks including myself the running theme of apologizing to the editor. We do that a lot for good reason, why? I think maybe let's go on to our next question here. Alright, this one comes from Mick, moon moon. When are we doing a baby Horror Story? What the fuck does that mean?

7:17 It's children are a wonderful source of core responsibilities. The Goos it's you know it's a thing that comes up. I've never really wanted children. They're terrifying to me. I remember when I was younger. I said, I never want to pick up a baby because if you drop the baby at Straight to Hell right there, there's, there's no way you could get out. I will say I recently played the newest Resident, Evil game Resident Evil Village and there is a weird spooky baby that chases you around at one point and it is and stop said, yeah, I was thinking about dead space as well. Dead Space 2 in particular. If that's base, Dead Space 2 is Kind of whoa moment.

7:59 It was creepy fucking baby's Dead. Space is gnarly, that remake is surprisingly good. I have yet to play it. That's what L heard. Looking forward to playing it. I spent too much money on video games, so I'm playing. It's good. Also, Eraserhead has, I don't know if any of you have seen. Although yeah, raise your hand has definitely made it. So I never want to have a child ever again, actually ever. I shouldn't say ever again because you never again, that's okay. Have one, but ya never makes me want to have a child. I've sat through Eraserhead, probably too many times because I regionally, I just never understood it until like, hit me, I'm like, oh, being a single father, would sound awful? No, thank you.

8:43 Yeah. So, I will start thinking about horror babies there. They do spook me out. I know we have one parent on the podcast, though. Hello, yes. Maybe. You would know more about spooky babies, that I What cute acne. What I also have a son. I did not realize that Damien who had not mentioned it but that okay. Well hey, you know, it's get to know the cats. I'm getting to know you now to love it, babies or not babies. Children, we could have a rug rats base theme game, or it's the horrors of being a rug rat. Hey, they've dealt with some heavy stuff once upon a time. When you said, like Rugrats, I automatic, my mind automatically went to the show and I'm like, okay so we plays Characters and like Reptar is coming.

9:30 After us as mainly thinking of like dealing with the horrors of Angelica. Is that to yeah. Horrible. They always, I mean, every one of those episodes always starts with like, oh, it's like kind of bizarre looking what they're looking at because we're all like, zoomed in on it from like a weird perspective. And that's like the weird perspective of babies. There is actually a role-playing game system called monsters and other childish things, which is about small children and their imaginary Are we friends who are actual real pet monsters? That's dope, that sounds. Yeah, I that sounds pretty awesome that does so I got to make a note of that. Think we might've accidentally answered this question. I'm typing it in right now and the thing to remember this next one is from Mick mangas. Whats your favorite Pokemon or Pokemon type? Okay look they got it in one.

10:18 His name's Bulbasaur and he rules the please chairman to see, I'm sorry, I'm gonna have to disagree with you both there the best Pokemon. Ever was Snorlax. Snorlax is pretty good. He has his moments, but most of these just a real sleepy boy. Yeah, that's why it's great. Oh man, I don't know. I have a favorite Pokemon type. I don't have your way Pokemon right now. It's fire poison. It's my favorite favorite Pokemon type. I can't say anything else. Just this allows align right? I think so. That's just been my favorite Pokemon recently to use because I spent way too long trying to get the perfect celebrity. Özil to evolve it. And I didn't know you had to have like, a female to evolve it.

11:02 Ah, I did not know that, and it's, I spent probably 10 hours. You gotta have a female Soul as well because they're the sexy ones, don't Google it comfortably later, Venus of this Pokemon here, I just like the idea of fire poison, that sounded awesome. I'm looking at this Pokemon. It's, you know what? Nevermind don't don't. Don't, don't, don't think about it. Don't think about it. No, did that to yourself? No, this is my own fault. My My favorite type is bug and my favorite Pokemon is also from sun and moon. It's the wimp odd, Galicia pod line. Oh yeah, those are good. It just starts as a bug with anxiety and then it turns into a samurai, how could you not love it? That's pretty good thing.

11:42 I didn't know that and we original games. I was a real big fan of Ghost Pokemon. I could never get that canker. So, sort of developed a special bond with Hunter. Yeah, Jos were. I mean, that first game was not super balanced. Ghosts were like supposed to beat the psychic types, but every ghost, As ghosts poison, which is weak to psychic. Whoops, Pokemon gotta catch em. All, I wish to become the very best like, no one ever was. Have you seen the pokerap? Not that original one. But the Brian David Gilbert poke wrap work because all of the Pokémon all of the polka-dotted, the book, a wrap, very good. Don't think I've seen that one but I will have to look that one up there. Of course, now it's outdated because more of come out, but that shit's legendary the group dark.

12:27 Of the far future. There are like 50 billion Pokémon. Yes, you always got to have more. That doesn't sound Grim at all. That sounds great. Yeah, they're eventually gonna get to the point where, like somebody coming into Pokemon like a kid, like discovering Pokemon at some point in the future is never going to feasibly be able to catch them all, because there's just going to be so many of. I mean, nobody ever really catches them all anymore. I never caught them all. I dedicated myself to be the elite forward that I'd like, I'd beat this game. What are we talking about? Fair. The credits rolled I'm done. That makes sense to me this. This next question is, what are your favorite or favored systems for or otherwise? Oh boy, I got a lot of systems.

13:07 I like I'll just say stop it at to I really like you too. I could do more but I'll let other people say things that maybe we could come around to be later. I really, really, really like the gumshoe system. Pretty much all of the stuff for gumshoe is a lot of fun to run. I think it works very well for me. Style of Storytelling. It's very finding Clues and stuff, and not so much the fighting though. There are fighting rules and the one that's about spies vs vampires. Has more fighting rules, but that's the best thing about gumshoe is like all of the versions of it are really good. There's a lot of great settings. I've printed for them, just love it. Really good stuff. The other one I really like it's an older system. Unknown armies.

13:50 Unknown armies has the wildest setting for a book I've ever read. Some pretty decent systems. Um, and just just absolutely wild magic stuff. Like you have to risk your life to gain magical powers. So you like drive without a seatbelt and that gives you chaos magic or you got to drink a lot or just all this crazy magical rules and stuff. It's very very fun. It does sound pretty wild from what you guys were saying. Anyway, I could say several more but I'll stop there for now favorite or favored systems. I also have a few just due to the fact that I've been doing TT RPGs for as long as I have. Refs for the crunch of it is it's a very rules heavy system Mega damage. Oh yeah I don't know much about riffs I just know Mega damage is a word from Rick's.

14:38 So I just said the one thing I know other than that D & D 3.5 while just any of the three point x era of d and e, will always have a special place in my heart because I pretty much memorized all of the rules for it. Other than that, I'm really enjoying blades in the dark currently that is a Very enjoyable system. That is a good one. This one's tough, I'm a filthy crunch player. I'll MIT it. I like power gaming, I like Crunch and so the game that I've been really sinking my teeth into when I get the chance is Warhammer fantasy fourth edition. I really enjoy where Hammer 4th edition. I don't have the crazy wackiness of like, you know, second edition that Everyone likes to fondly, remember until you actually play it. Fourth edition is awesome.

15:26 Because I And slowly changing that system into my own little system. Once I get it down. Pat I'm gonna start Play testing it and using different, I guess, worlds, instead of just Warhammer to play that game. So I'm currently, I'm currently working on changing a few things to fit a blood-borne game. So interesting. Yeah, because I think the crunchiness and how when you actually do get to the KB, it's a lot of fun. Instead of rolling Miss to hit, you can change the dynamic of everything. That's it's probably my favorite system at the moment for me. I have so many systems that for me are like oh man, it's so cool. I love to play it one day so I can list to my two favorite systems one. I desperately want the chance to play because I'm in love with everything about it and the other I actually have played the one.

16:16 I'd like to play one day is called Lancer. It's a Mecca game. Yeah, that's got some crunch that game has some crunch. Normally, I'm not a crunch kind of guy, but the way customization in that game. Works activates the same parts of my brain that a job class system and a jrpg activates. It's just a very modular, very creative open way to build your ultimate perfect death machine. And I've always want to actually play it with someone and I have yet to have the chance in terms of games, I've actually have played, I love powered by the apocalypse. Oh, hell yeah, it's so simple. And so narratively driven, you could play a powered by the apocalypse game with anybody and rules, just Work to facilitate, everybody having a good time.

17:00 It's what interstitial the game that I play on Kingdom? Hearts forgotten era? That that's the system that uses. So I've seen that it can just be a lot of fun powered by the apocalypse is the shit definitely. It's sort of what renewed my interest in tabletop RPGs for a while, so absolutely love it. Yeah. And I'm a huge fan of blades in the dark, which I think sort of a spinoff from powered by the Apocalypse in some way. I don't know the exact relationship there. Most of us, go ahead plays in the dark uses the forged in the dark system. I'm not sure it's relation to powered by the apocalypse, but they have they have some similar similar ideas. They have a lot of similar ideas, so I think.

17:41 Yeah, I don't think there's a direct one-to-one like, oh, it's a spin-off of powered by the apocalypse but it definitely takes some of those ideas and runs a little further with them in a pretty cool way. It's a fantastic setting and there's a crime going on. There's the weird mystical stuff. Some demons everywhere and yeah, the rules are real simple and most of us and played in a game. We've been running for a couple years which is swell and also a special mention to paranoid. I only played it once but I enjoyed the hell out of it. Paranoia is fun. That was actually one of my first like big silly spin-off games. I ran it wasn't a Halloween thing but my normal group I got up together and we're like, we're gonna play paranoia, and we did, like we had him take a personality test before we got started and then like, as part of it, they were getting spam messages on their phones.

18:26 So I had like little piece of paper that had crumbled up and just started throwing them at them. It was very fun. That's great, that's hilarious. I also I'll say one more system. I like this is like be tossing, a grenade into the room and then then running away, fourth edition, Dodgers of dragons. Thank you. We've had this conversation before and you know what I will say this, it is a good, miniature tabletop game. It is a bad. PG agree to disagree. I will. So I I will not yuck, another person's, yum that you enjoy, that system, that is awesome.

19:07 I after trying it once was like nope this is not for me to be fair though. I'm not even a huge fan of fifth edition, they've done some things, right? But I personally believe, even fifth edition is too simplified with how they did things. Like it, just removes some of the customization that you could do. I was mostly joking. Nobody needs to re-litigate touch the arguments on the internet. So let's move on real quick. Just know it's only fair. You get to say it's a talk to because the thing is at the risk of severely dating myself and making everybody else in the room feel old. I was basically a kid when fourth edition came out and as a result that was my first tabletop RPG. Well he just a little baby.

19:53 Yeah. So for E will always have a weird Special place in my heart. I have like seven books for it. Still. After all these years that said I get it. It's definitely different from every other version of DnD, that's for sure. As I later learned in life, should check out 13th age, which has some of the designers on 4th edition went on and made another fantasy RPG. That takes a lot of fourth edition stuff and makes it even better. I actually have played 13h once enjoyed my time with you and I like 13th. All right, I may have to take a look at it. To see what they've done with it. The last thing I'm going to say on this point is kind of adjacent to the topic I guess because it was less a question and more a topic.

20:34 One of the things that I really like about TT RPGs, no matter the system. The system itself is really when you boil it down, just a frame. You could take something like the the world of Darkness d-10 system, scrap the world and use that system in whatever world or setting you really want to if you you know put your mind to it a little bit. So there's really always System for the game you want to play? And it kind of brings out that creativity. I think we got one more question here. Is that right? Well I actually thought of another one that I forgot to put on the list. Do you have any favorite moments in your own role playing? Oh man, I don't want to bore people. With my role playing stories. Everyone has one.

21:16 Come on bar s. Okay, everybody gets one. No, I very rarely am a player in role-playing games. The thing I'm almost always the case. A game master. So it's fun to occasionally, be the player. I think maybe the best game Mastery thing that I ever did. This is a game. I ran back in the day. It was my college D&D game. I had a really good Cliffhanger. We had one of our characters, what our players wanted to switch their characters out? They thought they built their character poorly. They wanted to build another one. They ended up building another bad character. This is you might not Mike Christensen. Is this person? He used to do some of those other podcast. I did that, that you cannot build characters for shit. He gets himself, I hope he hears this, he gets killed a lot, he's great, I love him, he's character left, and then we kept doing a thing and then we had a big reveal of like the big bad guy who liked came after them all. And it turned out it was Mike's old character showed up again as like the big bad guy and he like knew all the secrets or whatever and just the way that it played out, I was able to use like things that Mike had said earlier, is that like? Oh now he's saying it like in a Sinister way or whatever and that it was perfect because it was right before, For the winter break.

22:28 So I had him like attack the guys that they all got captured. Like, okay, great, winter break. We'll see you all next year and that was like the big Cliffhanger. It was very, that's nice. That's pretty good. The the only one that I can really think of is not necessarily a well, it's a fun memory, it was not a good action on my part. Other than for the role play itself, it was when Russell Dominic and Daniel or will remember this when we did the alien one shot? Oh yeah. Have fun memories of that. That's that was phenomenal. So I was playing the Weyland-Yutani. Representative it got down to, it is like right down to the wire. The other, there was another Weyland-Yutani representative who is an NPC who had woken up, and we were trying to get away, the aliens were out and causing havoc and and all that fun shit.

23:17 I got the other Weyland-Yutani rap to basically get their escape pod, ready to launch. And then at the very last moment, UND basically had betrayed them and force them to overdose on the drugs that they had been hiding in their own room. And then escaped on my own, you were the only one to survive that whole thing, there was also more than what there was room in the Escape pod. There was room for the layperson, you know, the glory was to be all mine. I was the the good company man, that's how Weyland-Yutani works. You certainly were you've all seen the movies. At least I think a real perk.

23:58 Oh yeah. Like I said, it was not a the actions of a good person but it was in character and it the way it worked out if anything because, like, it was like right down to the wire. Even after that, there was like a chance that I was not making it out of there because our unfriendly neighborhood Android was like pounding at the door. I got one. So this is the first time I've ever played. We're a fantasy fourth edition with a bunch of Of friends. A, we had a group of a dwarf, Slayer, a priestess of Sigmar a beggar who I was playing, and then a witch hunter, we are playing the law. I can't remember what it is, but you're locked in the in and there's something in the basement.

24:40 And so we played two sessions and the guy that was playing, the Slayers never played War hammers, never never understood how Warhammer works. And so we got to the basement and we found out the in the basement is a vis, a vampire thrall. And if you get bit by the Empire thrall, you have a chance of getting the disease where you get vampirism. And so, my beggar was inadvertently, the Frontline play or the Frontline Fighter for everybody for some reason. And so my character got bit in the arm and I was able to roll the endurance save where I didn't have to take the the disease, but the Slayer character thought it was a good idea because he was playing in character to chop off my arm and so In Warhammer dismemberment is death if you don't get to a surgeon or anything like that.

25:32 So in this sewer water slyke filled basement of some rundown disease like horrible. In this Slayer thought it was a good idea to chop off my arm and so me being the person that was going to be like this is going to be your introduction to how bad this world is. He's like I'm going to chop off your arm like no, you're not. So we rolled a brawling test and he One because it's a divorce layer. And so he chopped off my arm. And so the Priestess of Sigmar tried her best to do a heel saved at least stop the bleeding. So for 4 rounds, my poor character Sig, sigismund was just bleeding out.

26:12 In this horrible, terrible thing, screaming a brutal death and everyone's face at the table is like, oh, oh, you actually really die in this game. It's like, yeah, you just straight up. Up killed him. Wow, my poor friend Tim and I've actually never wants to play Warhammer ever again because that kind of traumatized him a little bit because he killed me and like he killed this poor beggar in like cold blood and everyone just like holy shit and it's like yeah man, that's just how bad the system is because we just got done playing a fifth edition campaign. So there were right writing High.

26:52 We're all 20th level characters and all that but like that was just Cold shock for everybody. It's like, there's no saving this. This is your dead and so that's like placed a very fond memory in my TT RPG mind of just just watching the, almost helplessness that no one could do anything about this. There's no magic. There's no magical potions. It's just you did. Yeah. It was awesome like granted. It wasn't awesome for me at the moment cause I'm like to don't do this, please don't do this. But it was gonna happen. So, all right, my personal favorite role-playing moment, at least. The one I can think of off the top of my head comes from the other podcast.

27:37 So, I'll kind of try to keep it as vague and spoiler free as possible. I don't spoil it promises in the other podcast. I play as a character named the Solaris and my whole gimmick is that, he's a shounen protagonist who uses improvised weapons, basically exclusively improvised weapons, like, even when he He has a weapon. He does not use it the way it's supposed to be used when he actually does finally get a keyblade because again, it's a Kingdom Hearts podcast. Just roll with it. He holds it in his teeth. And the first time he used it, he ended up holding in his teeth while having a pencil, and a light stand in his hands. Great.

28:19 That's the kind of shit I like to run. So during one episode, which was very intense, huge plot Revelations, like everything went to shit that day and one of the main villains told something dramatic to Solaris like about his backstory, which again, I will not spoil but, you know, it was suitably. Ee earth-shattering. So Solaris, picked up a gun and started using it like a gun. Ah, whoa and I I was really proud of just like making the situation dramatic by just doing something as simple as using a weapon. The way you're supposed to, that felt cool that was a good episode. Does your character have green hair and wear a bandana? No but you're not the first person to make the comparison.

29:02 Yeah, just just making sure just checking. I'm glad I wasn't the only one whose mind went in that direction because I'm like So Kingdom Hearts, or oh cool. Yeah, when when it when it happened I think it was bream in the podcast. He said so so so so Zorro from one piece and I'm like, yes but shut up. Nice for myself. I have just so many favorite role playing moments because I play a lunatic pretty frequently, but running blazing the dark. I think big highlight for me is just the volume of malice eye level it to from anything. Thing that comes from the sea. Yes, like there was the one that I lovingly referred to as we fought a zoo Squid gets out and stocks the Shadows.

29:48 Someone needs to roll a resistance and they create. So I guess you're relieved to see that. It's escaped your vision through, those are bad. Good times. The ocean is bad. Stay away from the ocean. Yeah, anytime I try to put something threatening in front of you. Like, if it's a person to dance up, being some sort of sea, life, taker, gross, person, fun stuff. I really enjoy just Putting bunker stuff out there. Who actually I do have a second honorable mention event also amusingly enough. It's my character kind of acting like a bastard in the blades in the dark game. When we were in New Dasha and my original whisper basically followed through with their by any means necessary way of thinking and ended up splitting from the Party by lightning bolting. Oh yeah.

30:39 Oh yeah. Yeah, one of the bride's at a wedding. Yep. Siobhan hyena. Take Rosie. We should move on from that or I'm going to start yelling at you. I guess what? Yeah man. What's the last question? What's your favorite horror tropes? Sorry. Favorite horror troops or chirps. You'd like to explore. You know what? I just saw this movie malignant the other day. I just want to have them a link in it in a whore thing. No spoilers. That's a big. That's a that's a big one. You cannot reveal that. Yeah. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna spoil it but I'm gonna have to watch that me too. It's a final clue.

31:20 What you're speaking of I'll have to think of something better but that's the first thing that comes to mind. Just a malignant you could do that and paranoia like in all honesty you could do malignant paranoia and that would be kind of great actually. Maybe I'd want to do like a thing sort of like take it over. Are people's bodies sort of thing and figuring out who's who still good and who is evil and stuff like that. Oh, and love to do some sort of social deduction game. Yeah, that could be fun. I don't know for myself. I would like to do the Trope of being like hunted from the Shadows where you know, you have a mysterious force that you may or may not know what it is but it's like inexorably chasing. The characters like, is this kind of like a It follow. Yeah.

32:11 Or it follows um original alien less scene and more like you don't necessarily see what's chasing you more. So you see the effect afterwards type deal? Gotcha I'd be down for that. Yeah which reminds me I need to reread through Hunter the Reckoning? Yes. Well that would be a fun one if you play people that are vampires and they're Being hunted by the doctor that would actually be fun. Okay, so I don't we touched on it at some point recently, but what I was thinking with that is more, the players are playing neophyte Hunters who are sent out after what they assume is vampires and it ends up being something else.

32:59 And something far more Sinister, more Sinister at the vampires Mega vampires, it's world of Darkness. There are a lot of things more Sinister than a space vampires. Right. Right. Right. Right magical girls, there was a Choose Your Own Adventure book, with space, vampires that I have not gotten out of my head for years. That does seem like it would be difficult to get out of your head. I used to love Choose Your Own Adventure books. Those are great, aim. I had one that where you were in high school and you end up finding out that the high school had one day, there was full of zombie kids. And you were, you were stuck in that. I remember that Choose Your Own Adventure book. I cheated at that because I was tired of dying Fair. Is it cheating?

33:40 Or is it just having a good time anyway, I just whatever I think of vampires. I for some reason think about space vampires and there's like the cover of the old, Choose Your Own Adventure book with like a vampire in like a goofy spacesuit, attacking two, little kids at space suits and inexplicably there in front of the sun which seems like it would stop the space vampire. I don't really know. He's in the spacesuit. Exactly. That's why he's in the spacesuit, got it. Okay. Okay, it's not like he needs to breathe. I think the Troop that I am a big sucker for comedy horror Evil Dead, 2 Tucker & Dale vs. Evil, like top tier but I also really, really enjoy the first two movies of Hellraiser. Oh he'll make is also Hellraiser the Remake was actually pretty solid and I enjoyed it.

34:31 I do like the idea of unleashing something that you thought was going to be you know for Your benefit but actually it's a rabbit's foot type of situation especially at the end of a rabbit's foot remit, monkey's. Paw a monkey's. Paw, thank you. God, did I not catch that? Yeah, thank you for catching that. Um, but I enjoy, I enjoy monkey Paws situations, those are my favorite type of horror tropes, that's solid. I can get behind that. Yeah, at the risk of being a broken record, hear me out. Okay, giant monsters. I also like a giant monster. Yeah.

35:13 And well you know, that is partially a joke partially it's not because there are some scary fucking giant monster movies out there. The first Godzilla film was objectively a horror film. I don't know how one would translate a horror themed giant monster story to tabletop, but I'd love to see someone try. You can do like Cloverfield, that is basically what I was just thinking is like, Cloverfield is essentially a Yeah. Kaiju movie. That's supposed to be supposedly a horror movie? Yeah. Clover Fields the big one in that regard. Yeah. But you know we could make it good. Yeah yeah. Yeah. Big Cloverfield guy but that's neither here. Nor there.

35:54 I wasn't a fan of the first one either and I didn't see any of the others that second one with John good. But it's real good Cloverfield lane or whatever it is. The one where they're in the bunker. Yeah. Yep. Yeah, yeah. I really, I actually really enjoyed that one, that one eye. I thought was a much more solid movie. I've still yet to see it. It's wrapped in a bunker might be thing to bottle episode. Yeah, I think my favorite horror Trope is horror movies that. Don't age very well, not like, for political correctness reasons but just because they cannot be taken. Seriously anymore such as my go to for that is wish Master. There is so much. I'm guessing it was unintentional comedy and the first movie?

36:37 I don't know. I think wish Master knows it's Too funny, that's fair. Like, there's the scene with security guard defend. Your wish Master is trying to convince them to make a wish he's like, yeah, I wish you'd go away and he's just slowly. Sadly walking off saying no, no, I got to get in and then there's later on there's a casino that might be in the second movie and about that. The sequester is spinning around in a chair at Jake. There's nobody in that room, this is the second time he's And around, what is he doing? But debuff just devours, the cedar eat every seed. He said, so it makes it very good. That's fair. Deep off, being the actor and that is our last question.

37:21 All right. Well, I hope that everybody enjoyed this little different episode. We'll be doing it every now and then doing we probably won't need to introduce ourselves every time.
