Like much of our content, it’s hard to believe. Unlike much of it, it’s true. Ken and Robin Talk About Stuff has reached its milestone 350th episode. Yes, we’ve been laying down the skinny on aliens, phantom cats, conspiracies and oh yes, the exciting world of tabletop roleplaying games for a whole seven years.
Longtimers know what that means: LIGHTNING ROUND!!! Enabled by our beloved cast of Patreon backers, it’s time for rapid fire question answering, with topics ranging from unloved Old Ones and introducing historical important GMCs to player homework and the dread influence of the Yellow King.

Earlier this week, I ran Pathfinder Scenario #45: Delirium’s Tangle, by Crystal Frazier, which features a maze that the characters must navigate to rescue someone. Because Mazes are Boring (as one sidebar boldly states), the process is abstracted to a series of skill checks. To make it interesting, there are multiple skills that can be used (though, naturally, Survival is easiest, to track the victim and abductors). If the party fails a check, they make no progress; if they fail by too much, they encounter a trap or monster.
For the record, I recall Phil Brucato acknowledging that Doissetep (a big, weird, Gothic chantry/fortress in Mage: The Ascension was somewhat inspired by Gormenghast. Phil certainly knows his Peake. How well that came through can doubtless be debated.
