This is such fun!

This is such fun!

I am currently at Act One: Chapter 5, and I am having such a fun time. I suggest rereading or relistening The Infinite And The Divine and going straight into this book.

Looking for an episode

Hello fellow AdRic fans. I'm trying to find a certain chaos knight house that I fairly remember was mentioned in some AdRic episode. I'm looking for the episode where house Mantikor/Mandrakor? is mentioned. Is not on the imperial houses episode nor the chaos knight houses episode. Somebody knows? Or I'm suffering some mandela effect shenanigan?

Did they spoil the armageddon book on the podcast?

I was in a game shop and they had the armageddon novel on the shelf in hardback, so I thought it must be knew, but i listened to the recent podcast episode on armageddon, so I was wondering was it the book they were talking about or if it was something else.

Kirioth Appreciation Post

Long time listener, first time poster here so if this has been posted/discussed before, apologies!

Just wanted to express how much I think Kirioth brings to the podcast really!

I loved listening to DK, Shy + Bricky weekly for ages but I really feel Kirioth's addition to the team brings a new depth to discussions, humour and overall greatness.

And it's always fun to hear them react to some British slang for the first time 😂

Tried my hand at custom detachment after watching episdoe

OK so I've been working on this for about a week. I know there are a bunch of Night Lords detachment but none of them felt right.

Thematically, I like the battle-shock, but mechanically its meh. Further, disruption... Not good mechanically and stealthy recon feels more Night Lords anyway.

I tried to fix those problems what do y'all think?

EDIT: My late night brain thought this was Poorhammer. Lol. Thanks for the feedback and sorry for any confusion.

Would the game “Grounded” and possibly “Grounded 2” make for a good Acceptable Losses episode?

On first glance Grounded may look like the video game version of “Honey I Shrunk The Kids”: Four teenagers roughly the size of ants must find a way to return to normal while trying to survive the dangers of ‘The Back Yard’.
Sounds simple enough, and for the most part it is. However if the player is able to look past the giant killer bugs and the bright nostalgia of the late 80s and early 90s, the game is actually darker than it appears. Especially in the sequel.

Broad Stroke Key Points:
• An international Mega-Corporation with a dubious scientific division practices unethical research and development focused on the advancement and application of technology. They answer the question of “can we, and how” but never ask “should we, and what are the limits”.
• A cold and utterly ruthless director with no morals willing to make any sacrifice for the sake of science and profit.
• A brilliant, if eccentric, scientist battling personal demons as he is caught in a losing battle between family and the scientific breakthrough of the century.
• A community experiencing an unprecedented number of missing children.
• The effects of the game’s McMuffin on local wildlife.

[Side Note For Shy And Possum]

Hi there, big fan. Just wanted to say that if you guys even make this into an episode I would suggest playing it as a four man team. The reason I say this is that although the game is perfectly playable solo, the player characters often spout “color commentary” that offers some additional insight into the game’s world. The lore is often expressed in the form of context clues, notes, and recordings found throughout the game. And that the developers are quite amenable and should be open to interviews, discussions, and offering commentary about the development of the game.

This was an idea I had the other day and just wanted to see if there was any interest or possibility of the game ever being covered. I mean I know that the game is not really all that Grimdark when compared with everything else the crew has covered. But I figured that it would be kind of funny to see how the guys react when they learn of the darker elements. Namely the kidnapping experimentation execution and disposal of teenage “test subjects”.
To be honest, I almost feel like Shy would do this to hear either Kirioth or DK to say “Not the kids. Don’t experiment on the kids”. And of course Possum having a field day with all the “millennial” jokes Possum could make.
