This week we explore our haunted emotions and some deserted billionaire bunkers via some of those keenly imagined settings in the business. Join us as we map the inexhaustible minds of Seb Pines and Will Jobst of Good Luck Press.

Interlude (1:32)
Getting into some spooky shit with selections from Gravediggaz and Tricky.

Games of the Week (4:56)
I’m halfway through the Dwelling solo journaling RPG, so I couldn’t think of a better intermission than getting to chat with its author, complain about my trauma and feelings of inadequacy, and — along with co-host, Walt — find out what else Good Luck Press worked on recently. Hear about the hazards of touring lost billionaire bunkers with Will’s upcoming Plasmodics RPG.

Interlude (48:29)
It occurred to me that Tricky recorded the theme to my play of Dwelling decades before I knew what a solo journaling game was. Selections from another track from his Pre-Millennium Tension LP.

Intro (0:00)
This episode is late because I was having too much fun repeatedly playing SETI: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, to stop long enough to write about it. My bad.

This is Episode 124 of Breakup Gaming Society, a highly autobiographical podcast for board game freaks, hip hop junkies, and extras from space movies in control rooms who sweat and yell in front of a monitor just long enough to get their Screen Actors Guild card.

I’m the host of Breakup Gaming Society, Lord Colonel Bucolic Depressive Whatever, recording in Who Gives a Shit, Colorado.

Today we explore the scoring pathways of space and the patterns that a sample makes as it streaks across the decades of the musical firmament.

Does that sound like fun? It better, because that’s all I got.

Interlude: The Turtles and D-Nice (1:30)

Game of the Week: SETI (3:04)
Finally, a proper review of SETI: Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence. I got over the learning hump and have been playing the hell out of this for two weeks straight. I have informed opinions.

Interlude/Outro: The Turtles and De La Soul (16:05)

Before and after, kick back to two Golden Era beat selections from Philly.
