Dr. D gets the opportunity to speak to author of the first Infinity novel, Mark Barber. This is a great follow up to episode 30 when they reviewed his book and called him out for an interview. They talk nerd origin story and what it takes to write a book. They also make some terrible jokes along the way. Such is the way of Arachne!

The boys (Dylan and Brady) are coming in hot after the events at Ironweld to talk about their experiences and how to run events.

They discuss how the listeners might want to go about running events of their own and how rewarding such an experience can be.

The boys (Dr.D and Brady T) talk about Neoterra lore and some of the classic profiles associated with the faction. They have a grand ol time and slowly lose their minds as they read all of the published lore that is available for this single planet. Of course they tell some jokes along the way!

WARNING: Dr. D's microphone decided it didn't want to work anymore near the end of the episode. We salvaged what we could, but it gets choppy near the end.

We have a very special guest. We have Father Time from Mythicos to talk about their amazing game called Mythic Earth (Americas). They have a great time talking history and going over the entire game.

Dr. D made a new friend and forced him with a blank check to come onto his podcast. Thankfully, that friend was Devin from the METAchemistry podcast. They talk about Devin's nerd backstory and get into some insights on how they think people can improve their Infinity gaming. They also laugh a whole bunch because they are both goofy goobers.

The boys (Dr.D and Ernesto) talk about the very first novel that came out for the Infinity universe. They talk about what they think about it before spoilers and then really lay in it afterwards with spoilers. We recommend if you are interested in this book you give it a read before you listen to this full episode.

The new series for Through the Breach with the Big Deicht Enterprises sub-division. It was decided to release it under Arachne due to the fact that Dr.D is in it and has taken over editing for it. The boys get to some mischief on their way through the breach and find themselves in a very dangerous situation.

The boys (Dr. D and Brady T.) talk about the Umbra and by extension the EI. They go over the lore that they could find on the subject as well as review the profiles that go along with the Umbra and some of the victims of the EI's persuasive brain magic.

The boys (Brady T and Dr. D) explore the lore of the Imperial Service from Yu Jing. They review the profiles that they think epitome the sectorial while also exploring the lore of the profiles and how they fit into the great infinity universe.

The boys (Dr. D and Brady T) start talking about things that you can apply to your practice games so that you can start to improve. They talk about some of the things that they have done in the past and want to do in the future in order to up their game so they can hit the sweet spot in the middle of the rankings, and maybe even get all the way to the top one day. Thankfully, we are not holding our breathes on that one.

In the very first episode, Dr. D and Brady T. introduce themselves to the greater Infinity community through their new podcast, Arachne. They discuss their experiences coming up to this point in their lives and go over a variety of games they have played along the way.

The boys are at it again. Dr.D, Mike, and Ernesto talk about the upcoming event known as Adepticon. They talk about their lists and speculate on how they will change them and work with them until the fated day to play them at the event. And of course, they make some terrible jokes along the way.

The 3rd installment of Calamity Jack is upon us. Jack has to go through a testimony of some trouble that he found himself in and some insidious forces have made themselves apparent. Who knows what the lovable idiot will get into next time.

The boys (Brady T and Dr. D) do a lore episode on Bureau TOPH and by extension some of O12. Due to the lack of profiles in the miniatures game for this specific part of O12, it is purely a lore discussion with some joking put in for good measure. Time to jump into the part of the lore that lead to the creation and supervision of ALEPH.

The boys continue their adventure of dealing with the strangeness of Malifaux. Lets see what they manage to get up to this time.

The boys (Dr.D and Jeff) talk about Malifaux and Infinity and why the lore of these games is important to their survival. Not only does lore entertain the masses, but it also helps create the rules that we use to play the game. They also tell some terrible jokes along the way which I am told is on brand.

The boys (Dr.D and Frank) pull out the classic JSA sectorial and talk their favorite profiles and tactics. We are aware that the new edition is right around the corner so we will further expand on this topic later, but we wanted to hang out and talk about it while making some really bad jokes. We hope you enjoy!
