Episode 523: Never Seen With a Windsock

November 18th, 2022 | Robin

In the Gaming Hut beloved Patreon backer Elias Helfer asks us how to start researching real-world places we intend to use in our games.

The Archaeology Hut dusts off a request from estimable backer Steve Dempsey for a profile of innovative site diggers Tessa and Mortimer Wheeler.

At the behest of regal backer Paul Douglas the Mythology Hut checks of the theory of Iranian influence on Arthurian legend.

Finally the Consulting Occultist reaches into his tarot collection for HEXEN 2.0, making this also a Culture Hut installment about its creator, contemporary artist Suzanne Treister.

    Do you get some malicious pleasure from tantalising us with delicious books, saying “I’m sure it’s still available” and then we find the cheapest copy online is £500! I’m talking of course about Hexen 2.0. I was lucky to score Hexen 2039 and the Tarot before the price went silly, but you’re right, they are things of brilliance, and spilling with ideas
