Yu-Gi-Oh Forbidden Memories and Dark Duel Stories with Luke Herr

Yu-Gi-Oh is something I never really got into growing up. Or now for that matter since I've gotten into some things now that I should have gotten into when I was younger. Although I was kind of around it since I was into Pokemon and Magic: the Gathering so it's not a totally 100% new thing to me. Plus the memes.

Good thing I somehow convinced Luke Herr to come back for another session of "Luke Explains Things To Chris that Chris Should Already Know About." This time he takes on Yu-Gi-Oh and a combo shot of games in Forbidden Memories and Dark Duel Stories. Will we be trapped in the shadow realm for attempting this? Only one way to find out!

Learn such things as:

How well do card games translate into video games?
Did anyone plan this thing out or did stuff just get thrown at the wall?
How were kids who watched this not completely traumatized and as a general rule experienced mental breakdowns?
And so much more!

You can find Luke over on D’OhMance Dawn , Multiversal Q, and RPG Pals Club. Or catch him on Twitter @koltreg or his Patreon, found under Luke Herr.

Legacy Comix Fall 2022 Releases

Hot take here: comics are pretty fun. And one of those fun things is getting new stuff to check out. There's just something about the teamwork and the combination of words and art and the way they work together that just hits me in all the right ways. I love it. The creators love it. That's why I end up getting a lot of creators on this show.

But there's the publishing side of things too. So who better to have come on the show than Patrick Hickey Jr to give us an insight into the publishing side of the comics world? And to give us a peek at what Legacy Comix has coming out for their fall slate of releases? Seriously, look at these! You'll have to do it at the main site though since Pinecast doesn't let me put images here in the show notes.

Learn such things as:

What weird coincidences can come together to bring a comic into existence?
Why have I been doing this podcast the whole time?
What role do the publishers play in all of this?
And so much more!

You can find Legacy Comix on Twitter @Legacy_Comix, Instagram @legacy_comix, Facebook @LegacyComix, the Legacy Comix website.

You can find Patrick on Instagram @patrickhickeyjr, Twitter @reviewfixpat, and of course his personal website and Review Fix.

The Atonement Bell (Revisited) with Tyler Ruff

Sometimes we have to revisit some things. A blast from the past if you will. There can be so many reasons for this. Maybe there’s unfinished business. Maybe it’s just a fun trip down memory lane. Or maybe there’s something more sinister going on than you even want to think about.

Or it could just be because we previously looked at a title as a Kickstarter book and now we’re looking at it again when it’s with a publisher. So Tyler Ruff might not have any thing sinister up his sleeves in this relook at The Atonement Bell (previously heard about with Jim Ousley on Ep B57). But we can’t really know that without listening to this telling of the tale now, can we?

Learn such things as:

How can you fit real world settings into your very not real world setting?
Why are horses evil and horrible?
Would you finish your own work as a ghost?
And so much more!

You can Tyler on Twitter @tylerbruff, Instagram @tylerbruff, and Tyler B Ruff.com. You can find his stuff about The Unforgiven on Twitter @TBR_UNFORGIVEN and Instagram @tbr_unforgiven. And of course, information about The Atonement Bell on Twitter @atonementbell or by following Red 5 Comics on Twitter @red5comics.
