Melonmancy Podcast

Wizards and watermelons! We play tabletop, video games, and talk about those things + more on our podcast. No filter.

If your bartender won't call it a Moscow Mule do yourself a favor and order a Dark 'n Stormy instead

In this episode we come to terms that our arch nemesis, Silvervale, has been done dirty. So it's time to clean the dirty laundry!

We promised we wouldn't spend so much time editing these episodes so they would come out on time but our hottakes on this one needed to be extra crisp.

Vast majority of this episode is weighing in on the recent release of Hogwarts Legacy, for the sake of the listeners in 2030 binging our show like some kind of nerd time-capsule we even explained the context!

I said we would return in January, this was recorded in January, still counts right?

Big thanks to everybody who tuned into the show. I know 90 THOUSAND PLAYS isn't much by YouTube/corporate media standards but it means alot to us that somebody is listening to our nonsensical ramblings

This episode we welcome back our guests Zerrva (Jordan) and Metalchicken (Robbie) from our OG community. Who help us kick off the year with a look back at what the best new games we played last year were. We also spend a lot of time talking shit about Wizards of the Coast.

This episode was not recorded live as we have made our glorious return to Mumble. Livestreams will resume once @dielan@shitposter.club figures out how to install Icecast. If anybody's done that before please tag him on the fedi. On the bright side this gives us an audio track per person again, enabling us to edit out noise, voice conflicts, and silences. Should make for a better experience than the last two seasons. Not taking the easy way out anymore!

Melonmancy Podcast will return in JANUARY 2023

This is a brief set of announcements at the beginning of the recording, followed by about 4 hours of unhinged drunken rambling with multiple guests (Including @dreamcycler@shitposter.club and @helsech@shitposter.club and @ironee212@shitposter.club – thanks so much for coming!)

TL;DR on said announcements:

  • We are going on vacation again this year. Our next episode will be sometime in January!
  • You can find out when exactly we will return by following @dielan@shitposter.club or joining our forum
    • There's no much to see on the forum right now, but we are keeping it up maybe forever so there will be thriving discussion there eventually

No amount of typing on this post about what we talked about this episode will do it justice. If you do choose to listen past the announcements do us a favor and with a modern podcasting app – such as Fountain please make clips of your favorite parts and post them!

See you next year!

This will probably be the last episode we record with Jitsi Meet. Long live Mumble
