Episode 629: Laugh With You Near Them

Podcast – Ken and Robin Talk About Stuff

Make sure your ropes are securely fastened as the Gaming Hut asks: have we been doing falling damage wrong?

In Ken and/or Robin Talk To Someone Else, we talk to tabletop game designer of DIE: the Roleplaying Game fame (and sure, comics writer extraordinaire) Kieron Gillen.

The Mythology Hut gets festive for an encounter with the krampus, demonic dispenser of jolly Yuletide punishment.

Finally the Consulting Occultist raps tables and psychically excites the zither for a look at Victorian spiritualist William Stainton Moses.
