This week, LC gets her geek on over two of her favorite things: board gaming and romance novels. It’s all about Pandemic: Legacy and the works of Zoe Archer, including:

  • Board games with plot: What makes Pandemic: Legacy different than vanilla Pandemic
  • How a board game can evolve with its players
  • Adventure romance, competency porn, and why Archer’s heroines are so appealing
  • Where to start with Archer’s backlog.

Many of you have asked after my health over the past several weeks, for which I can’t begin to express my gratitude. I’ve had a hard few months, and your messages of love and support have really picked me up on some dark days. Which is why I finally feel it’s safe to share with you the reason I’ve been feeling so crummy.

I’m pregnant again.

Please be advised: there’s some pretty frank health talk about pregnancy and miscarriage in this post. If that isn’t your thing, then please skip this post.

We’re back, baby! This week, LC digs into two of the things that have kept her sane over the past few weeks: Naomi Novik’s Uprooted and Trespasser, the final DLC for Dragon Age:Inquisition, including:

  • Uprooted and the the dark, bloody history of fairytales
  • Why friendship as a fairytale motivator is so unusual
  • Trespasser as humanism porn
  • How Trespasser gives Inquisition a much-needed change of perspective

Plus: Your emails!

This week, LC solos a short, mostly spoiler-free show about Hatoful Boyfriend, the post-apocalyptic pigeon dating sim (yes, you read that right) that’s eaten her brain. Highlights include:

  • A quick update about LC’s health and posting schedule
  • How did a dating sim about birds get to be so good?
  • How does one romance a bird, anyway?
  • Allegra Clark’s Hatoful Boyfriend streams

I hate to do this, but The Heroine’s Journey will be going biweekly for the remainder of August, possibly even into September.

Grief is a funny and terrible thing. Some days you throw yourself into whatever project you can find. Other days you can barely find the motivation to brush your teeth. You can’t really predict how it will touch you day to day. But you can plan for it, at least.

I love The Heroine’s Journey, but putting together the podcast on a weekly basis is just too much work to expect myself to accomplish right now.   So I’m dropping the whole “weekly basis” thing.

It was either this or go on hiatus, and I enjoy doing the podcast too much to just stop. Plus, I don’t want to let all you wonderful listeners down. So don’t worry. The podcast will still be updated – just once every two weeks instead. And as soon as I’m back on my feet, I’ll raise the frequency back up again.

Thanks for understanding, and, as always, thanks for listening.

This week, LC geeks out with Sylvia Monreal, creator of @comosedicenerd, over The Terminator films. It’s an extra-huge episode to contain our extra-huge feels, including:

  • The man in the machine, the machine in the man: Where does Kyle Reese – or Sarah Connor – end and the Terminator begin?
  • Dissecting the hell out of that love scene
  • Why The Terminator and T2 have to be watched together
  • Why the rest of the franchise never quite achieves what the first two movies did (SPOILERS for Terminator: Genisys starting at 55:35)

Plus: Daniel Jose Older’s Shadowshaper; whitewashing heroines in YA fiction; Sunset; and Tales of Xillia!

This week, Feminist Deck creator Kiva Bay returns to the show to talk about The Triplets of Belleville, the 2003 dark and weird animated French movie about road racing, grandmothers, and 1920’s movie stars, including:

  • How a movie without words can communicate so much about family, aging, and horses
  • Why do grandmothers and aging starlets threaten the French mob?
  • Exploitation and the inexorability of change as running themes
  • Why a bunch of monkeys made LC so uncomfortable

Plus: The Cat Lady and other adventure horror games; Grave Phantoms, revisited (WARNING: spoilers for Jim Butcher’s Changes at 15:30); Jeff Whitty’s Head Over Heels; Kiva’s comic for The Mary Sue on Public Secrets; an update on The Feminist Deck; Kim Swift; Steven Universe; and your emails!
