Oooh! It's a spooky, spooky night! Just listen to this show of spine-chillingness!
We dig into music and gaming with me, Ruby, Doug, and Matthew. We discuss what works about using music, give some specific examples, and talk about games that already have and/or use music.
We use clips from the following sources in this episode:
Midnight Syndicate, I Fight Dragons, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly OST, Escape Curse of the Temple, Deadlands OST, Diablo II OST, Bolt Thrower, Final Fantasy (IX and X2), Team Teamwork, The Neverhood OST, Tetris (by way of IFD), Warrior Nun Areala OST, Entombed (Wolverine Blues), The Nextwave Theme Song, Cowboy Bebop OST, T. Swift (blame Matt), Lord of the Rings OST, Underworld OST, World of Warcraft OST, Bastion OST, Transistor OST, Hotline Miami OST, Xena OST, Star Wars (Duel of Fates), Xenosaga OST, Saints Row Dubstep Gun, GWAR, and last but not least MC Lars.
We also review MC Lars’ new LP: The Zombie Dinosaur, which should be available soon! Check out www.mclars.com for details. Also, we do a bonus review of his Mix Tape: 22 Concepts.

Friends Don’t Let Friends Watch LOST – by MC Lars [01:39:52]
Anybody can put out a podcast two to three weeks after Gen Con. It takes real guts, though... ok, fine... I was busy... Anyway, here is the Gen Con Wrap Up from three of the SCARAB Swarm that worked our butts off @ GenCon 2015.
In this episode, Jon, Clayton, Cristin, and Jason recorded some stuff about Free RPG Day, Game Days, and a Quickstart review of Night's Black Agents. And then Toast had to try and edit the whole thing.... no easy task when Frank Zappa stops by to narrate. Oh, and there's a surprise post credit ending of Ant Man and Wasp beating up Ultron or something. Stick around, it's pretty "cool." See... I put quotes in there...
To all you fathers out there: Happy Father's day! In this episode, Ruby and I talk about our dads, gaming, and music.. The Sons of SCARAB (not to be confused with the Sons of Anarchy, but close enough) say a few things about their dads as well: Brian Gambrell, Del Collins, Matt Polkowsky, and Clayton Harbaugh.
In this mammoth episode, Ruby and I catch up with SCARAB fans Jo and Sarah at XCon, having just seen them at Gnome Con. I then sit down with Clay at Con Carolinas, where we are joined by Hayden (his son), and con guests Nick and Jenn. Topics range from gaming, Muppets, Star Trek NG re-casts, to what our favorite Friends episode is. A few surprise guests stop by to talk about Death Staxxx and pork chop sandwiches.
Con zombies at a camp! Fish will be hurt and some frogs may die. 
Day 2 of SCORPION Gamer Camp. Candid stuff, D&D5, and goblins by bonfire!
Check out some very candid audio from the very first SCORPION Gamer Camp brought to you by SCARAB!
Welcome to a new season, and a new sound for us!
Welcome back to another episode recorded live at SCARAB 5. Included on this episode, a cavalcade of guests!
Part 1 of episodes recorded live at SCARAB 5, 2015.
In this episode, I talk with Ruby about our experience with a two-player game we've been running using Pathfinder: Mythic Adventures as well as other pros and cons of two-player games.
So, I am literally preparing to leave for yet another convention even as this episode drops! Please excuse some of the noise, this was recorded live at the past couple of SCARAB Game Days at Firefly Toys and Games. Still, pretty good sound quality, huh?
Here's a little something something, we'll call it a treat, or maybe some would say a trick. Anyway, it's something to listen to to get you through your day.
Got to hang out with Kat and Doc from Mind's Eye Society. Check them out at http://www.mindseyesociety.org/ and check out their events at SCARAB 2015 on Warhorn!
GenCon is the best four days in gaming, and the SCARAB Swarm was there! What better way to celebrate that than with an extra-sized episode!
