Our biweekly show is a chill, fun time where we talk about alignment, Dungeons and Dragons, and a general plethora of stuff we care about in the Forgotten Realms. It’s a Gygaxian affair of the highest sort, and we are experiencing our best lives as adventurers in this fantasy world.

The Running Man

We talk about Richard Bachman’s 1982 novel The Running Man. It is nothing like the film, but it does feature a high-stakes game of death spanning America.

Content warnings for this episode include: chronic and terminal illness; child death; maiming and mutilation of eyes; racism and racial slurs, misogyny, ableism, police violence, suicide, and generalized cruelty
