Episodes

  1. Assault! Switching to On..

    The FINAL EPISODE of Season 1! This has been a really fun project to create. Join me, Jake, Walt and Greg as we push to the end of this book and have a few more laughs.

  2. Assault Buildup: Barad Nulla

    What kind of shenanigans can we get into this time?! Listen how we, again, go completely off topic regarding the happenings of Talker and the Rangers. We learn about Barad Nulla and just GETTING there. Don't listen to us.

  3. World Building Time!

    GREG joins us and we discuss the world building (so far) of The Ruin as the Rangers just barely escaped the orc horde.

  4. Happy Combat Patrol (maybe we're at Chapter 46?)

    BACK AT IT! Finally the Rangers can take a break and rest for ten seconds while Jake and I go over some intricacies. Actually we lose our bearings and go completely off course. Enjoy. Sorry.

  5. Werewolves, orcs, and giantsthrowingmultitonboulders OH MY

    GREETINGS TRAVELERS! We are back from a long break. RELAX and listen to the silky smooth voices of jake and I as we discuss the rangers making for the Philosophers Palace!

  6. She's a witch! May we burn her?

    The Rangers encounter the Witch! This is my favorite part of the book. Until my other favorite parts. The definition of violence of action. GET SOME as Jake and I break down this event. Also, Jake. How long were you even gone?

  7. Indig gonna Indig

    Talker and Autumn E&E and then get some! Join me, jake and WALT for a special give away and a few tangents! I pull a POTUS and can't complete a thought, but luckily jake and walt pull us back together.

  8. Rangers Pop Smoke!

    With a deteriorating situation spiraling downward, the rangers weigh their options. I try to be the voice of reason and jake apparently hates scouts. yeah, who knew? JOIN US!

  9. Elven Love and also some cleaning involved

    Talker is lovestruck by Autumn...Last of Autumn. Also there's some... cleaning... involved. Jake takes us off course. I join him. It's a good time.

  10. Ranger Alamo!

    The Rangers hold the line at Ranger Alamo. Chaos. Giants. Kennedy...? Cool stuff happens. We have fun.

  11. Phase Line Charlie...Reached!

    The Rangers fight their way to Phase Line Charlie. But the battle is far from over. Jake temporarily loses his mind.

  12. Evac to Phase Line Charlie!

    The Rangers deal out some serious hate and bad intentions. Jake does the most grunt things possible. I can't keep up. Stay tuned to the end for our "sponsor"!

  13. The Rangers Are Betrayed

    We have a hunch Mike the SEAL isn't on our side. Or is he just being a normal SEAL? ALSO what can we expect from The Forgotten Ruin RPG? Find out as we are joined by Walt Robillard and Nick Cole! Chaos ensues!

  14. Talker talks with the prisoner

    We're still at it! Talker talks with a new character (prisoner). Jake and I lose it multiple times...so.. there's that. JOIN US as we discuss Talker's interrogation and some other stuff. Talker rant vibes are strong.

  15. Chapter 11

    WELCOME BACK weary travelers! Here. We. GO!

  16. Chapter 10

    Talker talks with the smaj. Also, shennanigans ensue with your favorite two hosts!

  17. Chapter 9

    We struggle. I don't know what happened. We couldn't get it together. But we DID do the show so... we got that going for us. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARINES! 246 years of laying that HATE! RAH

  18. Chapter 8

    Chief McKluskey Enters the chat! listen as I mess up and Jake gets us back on track. We get a big info dump from the SEAL chief who SPOILER ALERT is a freaking vampire.

  19. Chapter 7

    Intel gathering, magical IEDs, and hilarity ensue in chapter 7 of Forgotten Ruin! (written by Nick Cole and Jason Anspach) Join Jake and me as we explore the different elements in chapter 7 and get some interesting perspective from DnD sources. **FACT CHECK** The "Dark Wanderer" is from GE not...

  20. Chapter Four/Five/Six

    You read that right! Chapters FOUR FIVE AND SIX in one episode! We couldn't break up the reaper mission into several episodes. We just couldn't LET'S GO! The Rangers go after an HVT. Jake and I have multiple technical difficulties. Thor is the MAN. Also reapers gonna reap. Hope ya'll enjoy!

  21. Chapter Three

    Like every exciting story...there is a beginning. We look at how Talker came to be part of the Rangers and his early days as a trainee. Some predictions are made. Also, Jake is inappropriate and I try to stay focused. He's such a grunt sometimes.

  22. Chapter Two (.1)

    Forgotten Ruin written by Nick Cole and Jason Anspach! Jake and I (Max) look at Chief Rapp, SgtMag Stone, Sgt. Kurtz (cuz BAMF amiright guys?) and some "point" who tries to pull rank. SPOILER ALERT: it doesn't go well for him. Hope ya'll enjoy!

  23. Chapter One

    Chapter 1 breakdown. The Rangers first engagement with the orc "Horde". We take a look at Talker, Tanner, Sergeant Thor, Sergeant Kurtz, and the all loved PFC Kennedy. Also I make an inappropriate narcotic reference. supported by www.Santabarbararoofcompany.com
