Episode 29: Miniature Madness & Mysterious Mashups

Til Dice Do Us Part

We may be a little late (and a little tired) but we got there in the end! It's Episode 29 of Til Dice Do Us Part and it starts with a return to the Ask A GM mailbag. The Mailer Daemon might be behaving a bit weird but he still brings us a letter from a player who is finding their GM's constant use of miniatures in every combat irritating. In our answer we'll talk about the history of miniature use in RPGs, how often we've used them, and even what figure made George's little cousins make an impressed noise.
Then, back by popular demand, we return to something we haven't done in many an episode: one of our X Meets Y style mashups in which we roll a D20 on a list of random DVDs, books and the like that we own and attempt to combine two different properties together to get our creative juices flowing. This time round we're going to be combining such varied ideas as giant monster movies, eighties zombie films, sixties sci-fi masterpieces, and cosy catastrophes in strange and unconventional ways. Some of these ideas will be better than others... and some will lead us on very strange side rambles including about King Kong Lives, All Flesh Must Be Eaten and The Two Ronnies.
On top of all that we've got the usual chaos that comes with an episode of this show. We've got recollections of student union gaming, predictions of what's more likely to be the next big news event in 2022, explaining who Diana Dors is to younger and/or non British listeners, fighting off the Inch High Incel in our usual fly-swatter equipped fashion, and our latest episode sponsor who is going to take you across time and space to share the most tasty treatos.
