Iteration 146 - Hapless Heroes - Neither Brains nor Brawn
the direct download link for this episode is here: http://traffic.libsyn.com/thesimulationist/Iteration_146_-_Hapless_Heroes_-_Neither_Brains_nor_Brawn.mp3
send us email at thesimulationist@gmail.com
In this iteration of the Simulationist, fifty episodes of Game of Thrones, and 100 episodes of My Little Pony. Our main topic, which we eventually get to, is about heroes who rely on things other than brains or brawn. Are there any heroes who win without either wits or ability? Can those kinds of characters be interesting, or are they uncompelling?

Iteration 088 - Unfinished Worlds
Direct Download Link is here: http://traffic.libsyn.com/thesimulationist/Iteration_088_-_Unfinished_Worlds.mp3
In this iteration, as always, Josh and Ryan relate their adventures in simulations, from their favourite video game, Minecraft, to the horror movies of the week, and then it's on to a D&D topic: using Ravenloft as an example, what should be done about all those underdeveloped areas of the campaign world?
