The Fellowship is pleased to present our conversation with James Venhaus, creator and writer of Night Owl Society, from IDW Publishing.

Dicemasters - learning to play, having some fun

Also watched part of a M*A*S*H marathon over Memorial Day weekend [Note: Ugly John was the gas passer; Painless was the dentist.]

May 28, 2017

The Fellowship is pleased to present our discussion of M*A*S*H on (or near) the 45th anniversary of the TV series premiere. We think it's noteworthy because (A) it was a very successful TV series, and (B) it was a sitcom about war, fer cryin' out loud. We talk about its origins (the book and the movie) and about how great (and weird and political) it was. And as always, our picks of the week.

 

What we're up to this week:

Mikey's Big Bag o' Nothing® - life bit me in the ass pretty hard this week

Alamo Drafthouse's Video Vortex this week - Crocodile Fury (a real woofer of a flick if descriptions are accurate)

Twitch watch - Friday the 13th game releasing this week, and it lives up to the hype

The Fellowship is pleased to present our discussion of Star Wars on (or near) the 40th anniversary of the first movie (A New Hope).

And as always, our picks of the week.

 

What we're up to this week:

Twitch - I've been lurking there to learn more about DDO (Dungeons & Dragons Online, where I'm also kind of a lurker - common theme)

More Twitch - Mister Rogers' Neighborhood streaming to raise funds for PBS

Even more Twitch - new Dead By Daylight update/release with Friday the 13th expansion coming soon

The Fellowship is pleased to present our discussion, assisted by artist/podcaster Eddie Medina, of comics crossovers with toys. This was big in the '80s, so we get a bit nostalgic at times.

Also reading Sgt Fury Essentials volume 1

Starting to write a new story - ideas come, but the writing part is hard (podcasts as a block breaker?)
