It’s a special Halloween episode, this time on undeath! Well, okay, it’s at least a Halloween episode, and that counts for something. We start things off with a quick update on our Twitch stream schedule (Peter’s streaming Pathfinder: Kingmaker on Wednesdays for a while, leaving Jenny and Grant to stream on Fridays.) Jenny also has a special thank-you for Renegade Studios for being helpful in getting her copy of Overlight shipped correctly; and Grant plugs for his friend Patrick’s appearance on The Gauntlet Podcast, which is really a well-deserved plug for the entire Gauntlet community as a haven of indie gaming and game design. We also handle a question from Patreon supporter Zach over at Back Burner Games, who asks us what roleplaying game we’d make if we had absolutely no obstacles.
Then, after our very apt Scripture readings, we start talking about undeath! We obviously can’t cover the entirety of the topic in half an hour, but we do talk about what ‘undeath’ means, and briefly touch on some sample historical and cultural beliefs about the undead. We also discuss what Scripture has to say about the undead; why the undead in their various incarnations are scary; and how to use the undead in interesting ways as both a player and as a gamemaster. Enjoy!
Scripture: 1 Samuel 28:13-17, 1 Chronicles 10:13-14, Matthew 14:25-28, Luke 24:36-39
