Hive Scum

Choo-choo buckaroo, you made it back, and we are proud of you. To all the folks who went, and are listening to this post-Adepticon, hopefully this carries you back to your homelands, where you can get a little sleep after some late-night hangs with the HS crew. In this episode we're back to our goofy selves, our topic for today was raised by Phil and we take a look at inspiration that we glean from historical, real life, or mythology and folklore. Gage talks about he's bad with historical events but how Greek mythology really floats his boat, Terry remembers how inspirational Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark was, Steve breaks down why the new Matrix movie is meta-cool and how real life atrocities can kick off ideas for dark settings. Paul talks about why his warband leader needs to be dripped out and Phil strings us along on a yarn and explains how he develops his characters using real life historical figures. By the end of this you're gonna be begging for a tribal sleeve that goes up to your neck (go see From Dusk til Dawn).

Jump on in mfer, we're going to Adepticon! It's a couple weeks out but not too soon to talk about it. In this episode we break down what to expect, both from our grimy side of the con, as well as our favorite parts of the con as a whole. A lot of our listeners will be going for the first time this year, and hopefully this'll give you a good idea of what to look for! It's five of us today, as Terry is back from Dadcation, and Paul's here too as our resident Adepticon first-timer. Gage talks about his board for his Forbidden Psalm scenario and tells us about middle-of-the-road Chinese food. Steve explains when to get the best deals, and how to clean up on loose sprues. Terry talks a bit about how hobby life is as a new dad, and reminds us about the hidden historical wargame hotel. Paul came stacked with great questions about the event, and discusses the Earthsea cycle and Elden Ring. Phil is a menacing presence and tells you why you should be walking around looking over shoulders at what cool games people are playing. Whether you've been there before, it's your first time, or you want a taste of what the party is like, come along and ride on a Fantastic Voyage.

He came from Planet Piss, he's just alright at painting, he's everyone favorite historical fanatic... Dark Tyler (@tylerisalrightatpainting) has joined us for another sick little episode of Hive Scum! This week Phil really wields the sword and leads us on a discussion of Sci-fi vs. Fantasy. Tyler chats about historical accuracy, his love for low fantasy and Robert Eggers. Steve explains whispered theories of the 40k ties to the Old World, and Gage talks about high fantasy and how the more outlandish the story the better in contrast to Phil's "Bronze Age or Bust" mindset. We've got a lot of ground to cover, see you in the trenches!

Thanks for joining us for Episode 26. We're on the back-end of NEMO and boy, what a wild ride. Paulie Mordheim (@wyrdstoned) is back in the saddle again as we bring you a bit of a twofer-doofer. We start the episode with a look back at the event, how we feel it went, and what we can do about next year. The second half of the episode puts you right in the action, coming live from NEMO 2024. Joining us are some old pals like Cole (@colecifer_xxviii) and Matt (@totally_not_panicking) and some new friends who travelled a long way to be with us like Sam (@cupboard_of_shame), Dave (@shootypunchy), and Brandon (@banway99) among many others. You'll hear about the return of Sprite Kid, how Paul of Chained to the Bottom of the Ocean feels about zenithal highlights, and of course it wouldn't be grimdark if our arch nemeses the Wiers didn't show up on the mic as well!

The gates of Mordheim grow ever closer! Shoutout to all those scumlords who are heading to NEMO this weekend, we are putting this out a couple days early to give you something to enjoy during your travels!

Thanks for joining us for Episode 25. Today we've officially ousted Terry and replaced him with the much more handsome Paulie Mordheim (@wyrdstoned). Paul brought us our topic for today, "what type of gamer are you?" What do we like in a game, what do we look for in a game, what do we want to get out of a game, and how does the hobby side tie into it all? Phil talks about how he creates his narratives in his head through the act of playing the game, and Steve talks his love for Morrowind and how it informed his obsession for exploration rolls. Paul talks about almost losing an eye pewter casting, and Gage talks about how it's style over everything in gaming, starting with a seed of a narrative prompt and building off it.

SEE YOU TOMORROW IN THE CITY OF THE DAMNED!

Hear ye, Hear ye! Gather round denizens for another haunting tale of grimdark goodness. Thanks for joining us for Episode 24. Today we are acting on our goals we've set and Phil's taking us on a journey into the Nü Age of Sigmar. He breaks down the detailed map he's drawn up for the new campaign and how it'll all work. In true Hive Scum fashion we have a bit o' banter (and arguing) about it. Terry talks about his idea for a new Vastarian cult, the Convent of the Sacred Mask, Steve professes a newfound love of One Page Rules Age of Fantasy Regiments and talks about his game with Maggot Ian. We imagine a world where Phil wields a finger smashing hammer for any time anyone comes up with a bad idea, and Gage drinks a diet Dr. Pepper and talks painting his chaos dwarves while trying to control the audio levels. Wish us luck in figuring out a solution for our broken VCR/DVD player. We are not sure what to do and we may have to cancel NEMO is we can't watch the Mummy Trilogy.

All aboard who's going aboard! Thanks for joining us for Episode 23. Today is a bigtime goal-making day and tonkin' about the future - and boy, does it look bright, or dark, or grim, whichever you like. We discuss all of the dreams we have for our hobby lives post-New England Mordheim Open. Gage leads us in a discussion of Ben (@apocrypha_now) and we gush hard about his enthusiasm and wild-idea generating brain, and offer a few (genius) suggestions for games. Phil discusses his goal of reinventing the Age of Sigmar campaign, and how he plans to draw out the map of the campaign (watch out MWG Studios). Steve goes coke zeroless this episode, and talks about how hoarding unpainted models is peak hobby brain activity. Terry is curious about our grimdark ancestors, and begins his musings of blanchistu of adepticon's past. Luckily we have the Wier's brains to tap for knowledge.

Crawl from beneath the wastes with us! Thanks for joining us for Episode 22. Today we talk about a year of Hive Scum in review, can you believe it? We've apparently done a lot, both with our digital communities, live events and just goofy hijinks and half-brain schemes (bigger and better things to come). Steve introduces all of the upcoming events happening in the Grimdark Hallway at Adepticon, Phil's birthday is coming up and he only wants countless Mummy VHS tapes, and is on a tear basing his autumn themed beastmen. Terry talks about placing in a couple of great challenges put on by the community, Gage introduces the New England Mordheim Open Collaboration with Matty Knuckles (@knucklebones_miniatures) and leads us through the past year's events.

Let this be the hour when we draw swords together! Thanks for joining us for Episode 21. Today we talk shop, breaking down our favorite narrative engines and in-game mechanics and why they hit home so sweet. Steve talks about his Gelida Mech he's building (s/o @magos_buer), Phil punches through an entire coffee filter making little tiny leaves, Terry refuses to acknowledge his lack of corpse carts and swoons over Mordheim Exploration Tables, Gage dangles the musical act names for NEMO and talks about Moria Gobbos for Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game: Battle Company (It's really good).

Today you get our reactions to the new space, as well as hear the first updates of how we are handling the ramp up to this year's New England Mordheim Open (please build a board!!). Terry talks about his deep dive into Gorkamorka and his plans for his warband, Gage talks about his #kingofthehillgiant and how he used it in a narrative scenario against our boy Dakota, Steve talks about watching someone fail at a backflip, and Phil lets you know his favorite bread, and his plans for his Lustria board.

Welcome to an extremely rules heavy Episode 19! (Gage is back to his old ways). This week we've all been really busy with personal projects and we have a sweet little piece of news that we are exciting to tell you about! Phil exposes a small sliver of the insane fantasy world that he has brewing, Gage challenges Adepticon goers to stay up later than him and Steve (you won't), Steve talks about his cute little Coraline doll he's making, and Terry professes his love for Jean Luc Picard. We talk all things from Richard Scarry to augmented sphincters to prosthetic leg hauntings. Not one to miss!

Welcome to an XXXtreme Episode 18! This week we dig into Steve's game Flames of Orion (thanks to playtesters!), we discuss our Hill Giants for #kingofthehillgiant contest put on by Hill Giant Games and argue about Space Marines and their (lack of?) training. Phil tells us about his disdain for pronunciation lawyers, Gage doesn't follow any rules (Anarchy99), Terry starts to crack after he finds out live that he missed the #simpsoshieldslam contest (I suck), and Steve talks about the demon hole in Russia and how he'd love to wiggle his body down it.

Greetings traveler, we're glad to see you again! Thanks for joining us for Episode 16. This week, we talk about how scary the New England woods are, and about horror in movies, RPGs, and video games. Steve talks his struggles with using oil washes, Terry tells us about the time a moth flew into his mouth, Gage gushes about A24 (probably has done it before), and Phil does a wee bit of online shopping mid-episode (we forgive him) but does tell us the best way to kill a burrow of yellow jackets (the results will SHOCK you).

Welp, back again with your dose of grime from the underhive! Thanks for joining us for Episode 15. Today we dive deep into some questions from listeners, that of course spur us on to wild conversation. This week, we talk about games we would like to play, and directions we would like to take our hobby, Phil fills us in about the illegal reptile trade and talks about shrews, Terry struggles to remember a Christopher Nolan movie title, and Steve and Gage act out the most exciting improv Ewok hunt scenario as we talk about Renzo's (@_qminis_) cool idea for Star Wars Legion.

You're back live with Episode 14! Thanks for joining us for again for another adventure into the depths of four resin-addled brains. This week, among many other things, we finally strap Gage to the chair and interrogate him about his Last War campaign that took place last month. Additionally you'll get some insight into Gage's first game of 40k 10th edition running Genestealer Cults, Steve flips through the Realm of Chaos books and we roll up some demons, Terry swoons over battletech and how it feels to dip his little toesies into a new world, and Phil insists to a bitter end that he's never seen Spy Kids 2 (good movie).

Stay alert for a little give away this week of some very cool Knucklebones Miniature prints, but you'll have to listen to find out what the prints are (they are cool). Thank you so much to Knucklebones for being amazing and making them! (@knucklebones_miniatures)

Big Lucky 13! Thanks for joining us for another wild ride. Today we talk big about the Hondious event and Rich Grimmond, put on by Martin (@martin.mccoy.art), Mike (@gundamofficialhobby) and help from the wonderful Bill (@the_ruin.501) We tell you about all of our old and new friends we got to party with down in yonder Virginia, and the hijinks included. You'll hear about Gage driving 100 mph through the night to get us down there, Phil fills us in on a little about marsupials, Steve talks about how he would recreate a Blanche artwork in 3D if he had all the time/money/resources he needed and Terry reminds us about the scandalous artwork of Disney animation.

Big praise for Pauly Mordheim (@wyrdstoned on IG), without him there's no way the Grimdark Recreational Vehicle would have come to be, nor would the sweet sweet games of on-the-road BattleTech led by Brad (@bitsbibsorks).

It's Episode 12 baybee! Today we talk about how it all came to be, how the boy's stories aligned. You'll hear about Steve getting kicked out of Games Workshop for abusing his paint pot privileges, how Phil pressured one of his best friends to spend their first paycheck on a Warhammer Fantasy starter box, how Gage was taken aback by the sheer magnificence of the Catachan warriors and how Terry stumbled into the junkyard garage of a madman, with a little help from Steve and Phil. A sneaky peek into how this group of degenerates formed into one Hive Mind - and how you can get involved with your area and do the same.

You'll hear stories of late nights at Denny's, us stumbling to define the ungraspable term "grimdark," learn about Steve's elbow-dropping backyard wrestling days, and about In Rust We Trust's new obsession with 6th Edition Warhammer Fantasy.

The future looks bright for the Hive Scum crew, come see what's in store.

Thanks for checking out Episode 6! In this episode we got a chance to meet up and record with a lot of our friends in the Grimdark Alley at Adepticon. It's a real hodge-podge of hobbyists all telling their backstories and what they are up to currently. You'll hear about great new game ideas (if you steal them we will find you!), new perspectives on old hobby ideas, chaotic thrift store finds, and an unhinged special guest pop-in where I (terry) get bullied for wanting control of the Gotham underworld.
