Thank you comrade!

Is there a source on this, especially globally?

[–] IvarK@hexbear.net 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Owlcat’s 40K Rogue Trader. I’d never really delved into 40K before, but man it’s really good so far. Writing is excellent, combat super fun, and 40K is such a cool setting and world. Highly recommend if you’re a crpg person.

Another kkkracker down

[–] IvarK@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah it’s pretty intimidating but at least the characters are good

[–] IvarK@hexbear.net 1 points 1 month ago

Oh yeah that one’s also on my “don’t like” list. It’s weirdly paced and relies too much on gore imo.

Oh and if you like kph 100% check out Acephale

[–] IvarK@hexbear.net 1 points 1 month ago

I absolutely IMPLORE you to check out The Silt Verses, David Ward is a great author and both the verses and eskew are excellent pieces of fiction

Oh yeah I’m all caught up on that! Pretty good, compared to TMA s1 I’d say it’s more eventful tbh, but the “statements” haven’t been quite as gripping I agree.

Legend is a personal favorite

I read Left Right Game on nosleep when it first came out so it’s not on the list. It’s good though! It clears my “thriller is ok if it’s creepy at the start and has strong writing”-bar

KPH and Acephale are both anthology pods, so stories are very loosely connected at most, but mostly entirely independent. KPH is very famous, Sorin Narnia is probably this generation’s best horror writer imo. Acephale takes a few eps to really hit its stride but once it does it’s just nonstop bangers. They’re both very much more on the audiobook side of the podcast spectrum, and are both really slow burn horror, all about the vibes and sense of place.

Thank you for replying!

 

I’m really into horror audio dramas and/or anthology podcasts. Because of this I’ve burned through so many over the past year or two I feel like I’m scraping the bottom of the barrel, which sucks

Ones i like (kind of ordered by how much i like them):

  • Knifepoint Horror
  • Acephale
  • The Silt Verses (and I Am in Eskew)
  • We’re Not Meant To Know
  • Magnus Archives
  • Malevolent
  • Modes of Thought in Anterran Literature
  • Archive 81 season 3
  • Sleep Wake cycle (haven’t tried all of their pods yet, they’re kind of a lot)
  • Ghost Wax (kinda kid but more good than bad)

Ones I DIDN’T like:

  • Tower 4
  • Welcome to Nightvale
  • Road of Shadows
  • Hello from the Hallowoods
  • Wrong Station (occasionally good)
  • The White Vault (not horrible but idk a bit corny somehow)
  • Alice is Dead
  • Lovecraft Investigations (it was fine but idk turned too thriller)
  • The Black Tapes (not a fan of the overproduction)

Basically I like shows that

  • Have enough faith in their writing to not rely on a thick coat of quippy self-aware sarcasm marvel slop
  • Are heavy on atmosphere, focus on the fiction, not on the host and their haunted podcast studio or whatever
  • Do not devolve into action hollywood thrillers UNLESS the writing is good enough to support it after a couple of seasons of more horror leaning stuff

Oh and if you want recs from me just ask and you shall receive I’m dying to talk about these shows kitty-cri-screm
