Somehow... Jeff has returned. Braden and Chris force him back in front of a microphone to talk about Origin's infamous Ultima IX as a special bonus episode. The three Deep Endists cover such delightful topics as the game's troubled development history, its numerous gameplay problems, and disappointing story. Will they learn what a Paladin is? Does anyone still get that reference? No? I'm sorry. I've failed you all.

Gather your herds and sharpen your swords to defend against the vile Beaker Ducks, because Braden and ZP are here to discuss weirdo Bronze Age Fantasy Clan Simulator King of Dragon Pass and its successors, Six Ages 1 and 2. They go over the games' worldbuilding, clan management mechanics, and very, very good artwork. Then maybe there's an impromptu GOTY podcast bit at the end, because they thought it'd be funny.

Stranded, Jeff-less, and lost in the dungeons of Fear and Hunger, Braden, ZP and Borgmaster venture downward to discuss the controversial indie RPG, including thoughts about marriage, violence, and [CONTENT WARNING]. I apologize in advance for this one; it's been like 10 years since I've used audio editing software. Hopefully nothing is broken becuase I'm in charge of editing this thing from now on.
