RPGrinders EP 762 - RPGeezers (aka Happy Birthday Eric!)

As we come ever closer to the spookiest of holidays. The night seems to come sooner. It feels colder with every passing day. Once again, the dead walk the Earth. The oblivious mortals celebrate with sin and sweets. With the feeling of death in the air, it could only mean one thing. That's right, Friday the 13th of October! It's time to celebrate the man who Satan admires, Eric! The true meaning of the Halloween is finally revealed. It's because the things that go Bump in the Night party until November! Happy Birthday, Eric!

What better way is there to honor Eric then starting the show with his hard researched news? None! That's right. Not only should you thank him for Halloween. You need to thank him for the news! There are even a few releases to celebrate Eric's holiday. Sand of Aura, Little Goody Two Shoes and The Unliving all release before November. But if your gaming schedule is booked up until the end of the month, In Stars and Time and Hollow Cocoon release before the end of the year.

Even though this episode is a party, the Grinders spend time talking about the senseless killing happening in Israel and Palestine. The Grinders stand with the innocent people caught in the middle of another horrific war. Fuck all of the genocidal madmen involved! After spending time addressing the nightmare of a situation, the Grinders pivot to something more fun. The Sweetos! What could be sweeter than celebrating Eric's Birthday? Nothing! The party is so good, even the spirits are waking up to celebrate! 

No celebration of darkness and everything awesome would be complete without another tournament! Sixty-four of the most gruesome kills and murders in cinema history! Who will claim the title of greatest movie killer? Will Freddy Krueger introduce the Predator to prime-time television? Will Leatherface use his mallet to add Alien tartare to the menu? Will the ageless wizard Shang Tsung steal Norman Bates' soul, or will Mother save his day? Pamela Vorhees has forever had to take second-fiddle to her famous son Jason. Will she be able to claim the title of best killer in the family or will Jason teach her the proper use for a sleeping bag? Will Negan and Lucille when the double team match against Elvira and her basketball? 

The bad guys weren't the only killers to compete. Some of the heroes have been proven to be just as brutal. Heroes like John Wick and John McClane are proficient with guns but how many killers are as deadly with an icicle or a pencil? Will Indiana Jones teach Connan to never bring his giant sword to a gun fight? Will Kung Lao teach Connor Macleod not to bring a sword to a hat fight? Can the quick reflexes of a cyborg overcome the face ripping vengeance of Furiosa?

As the darkness grows closer and streets get quiet, don't worry. There is no need to be afraid. The ghosts and goblins are only stirring because they want to party too! Just cause your dead is no excuse to not celebrate Eric's Birthday.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I reeeeeeeally wanted to name the show Hollow Cock but that seemed kinda rude.
