305: How to be an Investigator (advert free)
Added 2025-01-28 00:01:00 +0000 UTCThis episode is our attempt to sharpen our own skills as investigators, or at least hope that others can learn from our mistakes. Scott and guest host Seth Skorkowsky have been playing an in-depth investigative campaign together recently, and both independently realised that they are terrible at investigation. So we spend this episode trying to work out how to get better at gathering clues and making sense of them once we've done so.
Our Guest Host
We are delighted to have YouTuber, podcaster and author Seth Skorkowsky join us for this episode. Most of our listeners will know Seth from his ENnie-Award winning YouTube channel, as well as the Modern Mythos podcast, which he hosts with Jon Hook.
Seth is also the author of many fine books, spanning urban fantasy, sword and sorcery, and horror. His main focus right now is his ongoing video diary for the Traveller campaign, Secrets of the Ancients.
You can hear Seth’s previous appearances with the Good Friends here:
Illusion Horror Con Panels
Matt and Scott both attended The Illusion Horror Con in December of 2024, taking part in a number of panels. All these panels were recorded and they are now available online. Happy viewing!
