1978's D1 Descent Into the Depths of the Earth (republished in 1981 by TSR as the D1-2 compilation module of the same name) took players underground and asked "for who knows who or what will be encountered in this gloomy underground world?" The gloomy underground world itself was represented by 2 maps, a large-scale map of the "whole underground complex" and another featuring "three widths of passages for the initial and subsequent travel and exploration." Adventurers fear not to delve the dark… on Map Monday aka Dungeon Day!!

A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889) is a satire by Mark Twain (aka Samuel Clemens) but also an early example of the time travel and alternate history genres. In it, 19th Century protagonist Hank Morgan uses his knowledge from the future of a solar eclipse that occurs during his time in Arthurian England to save his life. That's one to mark… on Sci-Fi Saturday!!

Wide-ranging geekout with David Finn of Signal of Doom!! Lots of comic book and MCU chat (like, a lot). Pi Day. Doctor Who, old and new. Google Gemini vs. ChatGPT. Judge Dredd satirizes fascism but can tell multi-layered stories. Godzilla finally wins an Oscar. Godzilla as a metaphor. The essence of the Punisher. It’s been a while, but Shane rants a bit (and David loves it). The Krakoan X-Men scare Shane and David’s ready for the era to move on. Current Beast makes David pine for Dark Beast. Three Jokers?? The 80s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles RPG and real-life urban ninja action. Shane’s defining Han Solo moments. David recommends Dreamsnake by Vonda N. McIntyre. A key to being an adult is being able to separate the creator from the creation in terms of enjoying entertainment. What D&D-related incident made a young Shane cry? Shane and David love the old-school CRPGs. The Asanti Series is a continuing series of fantasy books by David.

Tony Bogan had a bunch of early Apple machines with plenty of games ready for folks to play.  I sat down and took a crack at Lode Runner on the Apple IIe.  It was mighty fun, to say the least.

Saw Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. Monkey punched lizard and lizard punched monkey. Monkeys punch monkeys. Lizards punch lizards. People run around. Super dumb but a lot of fun.

According to some sources, the Battlestar Galactica from the original 1978 series was over 500 years old when the series began. The battlestars served as faster-than-light capable battle cruisers, fighter carriers, and mobile command centers for the fleet of the Twelve Colonies. In addition to the protection provided by its viper squadrons, the Galactica had turbolasers, fusion missiles, and shields. Series creators said the Galactica was about one mile long, and fan estimations based on the scale model put it around 4,741 feet. A big battlestar for a big job… on Sci-Fi Saturday!!
