Critical Twits Podcast

Trapped by a sinister madman, the Twits must podcast their way to freedom. Unfortunate, given that they couldn't fight their way out of a poorly-recycled paper bag during a particularly vicious downpour. Discussion of the tabletop RPG Call of Cthulhu, tension in horror games, inappropriate horror maze twisting, reverse screaming, and that most dreaded of childhood monsters: Pop Up Pirate. Thanks to DiscoveryME for Glitch & Static 01.

Humorous discussion of subterfuge in roleplaying and video games. Covering Batman's crying-about-your-parents minigame, that time Colin killed our gaming group, demonic bargains, the X-Files, and how to effectively punch a monkey. Correction: psychic tests are conducted using Zener cards, not Reiner cards - apologies to Karl Zener! Thanks to jamesabdulrahman for 'Permission to panic?'

Today we talk about sneaky boardgames, Codenames, Resistance and Sheriff of Nottingham. Shhh, tell everybody.

Hear ye! A discussion on Pathfinder, Dungeons and Dragons, Lords of Waterdeep, consequences in RPGs, sexy peasants, beardcraft, banning Monopoly, and diptheria. Colin has memory problems, Brian wishes he was an elf, and Aaron hates the very foundation upon which this episode was built. The git. Credit to abel_K for 'copper bell' sound used for last orders.

Good morrow! Hark ye, and hear our conflabulations upon The Witcher 3, Dragon Age, assorted fantasy authors, and sexy sexy dragons. Starring Sir Gaseous of Hotpoint, Mr Darcy, and a man who cannot count. Credit to sonsdebarcelona for 'group fighting' noise. The Witcher 3 season pass actually costs £19.99. Colin was wrong, join us in booing at him.

A whole episode spent pondering Mutant: Year Zero from Modiphius Press, a post-apocalyptic tabletop roleplaying game that, quite frankly, we love. Enjoy! And a special thanks to guitarguy1985 for air raid noise found on Freesound.

In which we fall out over Fallout, rage about Rage, and lose the thread on Threads. Also featuring hipster zombie survival tips, shambling asthmatics, outdated political references, parental sponge warnings, Call of Duty: Duty Calls Modern Ops Warfare 7: Duty Calling, supporting your local supermarket giant and James Blunt, Saviour of the World!
