Shownotes Transcript

The year 2023 has been absolutely packed with RPGs, and there's always something flying under the radar. Darkest Dungeon 2 might just be one of those - a follow-up to a beloved dungeon-crawler that still feels like it hasn't had quite the same impact as its predecessor.

So one of our Patreon supporters joined us this week to talk the Darkest Dungeon series and why it's worth keeping an eye on the sequel. We dive into the history, mechanics, dark humor, and gorgeous art of the Darkest Dungeon this week.

Also in this Episode:

  • Kat is starting Final Fantasy V again!

  • Eric asks why there hasn't been a Godzilla RPG yet

  • Nadia throws another curve ball in the Nostalgia zone
