This is the longer unedited cut for backers only.

Bride of Listener Suggestions - Blasphemous Tomes

Late last year, we used Discord and Twitter to ask our listeners what kinds of things they’d like to hear us discuss. The response was overwhelming and we now have a massive list of possible topics. Although these suggestions were exceptional, there are a good number we’d struggle to turn into complete episodes. Rather than ignore these, we’ve decided to go through the replies and see what we can address succinctly.

We started going through these suggestions in an episode a couple of months ago, but we barely scratched the surface. Here, we delve into several more topics, including Gothic Horror, Espionage and the Cthulhu Mythos, White Dwarf and Dagon magazines, literary genres, potential strange NPCs, solo gaming, and Japanese Call of Cthulhu scenarios.

Thank you to Dirk the Dice, OrbitalAxolotl, Sarah D, OK Ghouls Hear Me Out, and DMBadWrongFun on our Discord server for the topics we discuss in this episode.

Please do let us know if you have any suggestions of your own. Well, apart from those ones.

Advert-Free Episodes on Patreon

As of a few months ago, we started putting commercial breaks in episodes of the Good Friends. These are just for our own products or other podcasts we like, but some people will still want to avoid them. If you prefer your podcasts without adverts, the releases on the Good Friends Patreon feed are completely free of interruptions.

Hounds of Tindalos Reading

Mike Perceval-Maxwell of Mr Spike’s Bedtime Stories recently released a reading of Frank Belknap Long’s weird tale “The Hounds of Tindalos”. Our very own Scott Dorward joined him to voice the character of Halpin Chalmers. We have put the episode out on the Good Friends feed as well. This follows our recent episode discussing Long’s tale.

Back Issues of the Tome

All back issues of The Blasphemous Tome are now available as PDF downloads for our Patreon backers. This is the fanzine that we produce for our backers, which largely existed only in physical form until recently. Each issue contains a full scenario written by the Good Friends.

Anyone backing us at any level on Patreon can now download the entire back catalogue as PDFs.
