Today’s Hook: A visitor claiming to be a historian from the future is here to observe the great heroes that helped shape his civilization. Details surrounding the PCs’ demise are the parts he’s hoping to gain historical clarification on

What would you do if you absolutely idolized your older brother… but he suddenly vanished and now you and your friends are the only people who can even remember he ever existed?

If it was a brotherly love, like that of Boromir and Faramir… you’d totally freak out, right? And that’s not even the half of it, as this week the Adventure Hook guys use the powers of time travel to turn back the clock to that most eerie and mysterious age… the 1980s! And of course your two GMs bring a few Lovecraftian concepts along for good measure. Hide that “Cthulhu shit” you learned at Miskatonic University in your Trapper-Keeper… because things are about to get weird… like, totally Eighties weird…

Childhood friends united by their shared “lack of experiences” must use various different forms of time travel to unravel (or perhaps re-knit together) the tangles of their fractured memories…  From a Carter family heirloom with unlimited Astral potential, to a consciousness projecting temporal drug, to good ol’ fashioned Hypnosis… all may be needed by our band of nerds to keep the Silver Man, the Man in the Brown Van, and the Man in the Round Room each from staying one step ahead of those pesky 5thdimensional “time wolves”. Which begs the question… what’s the angle of creating a room with no angles?

Does that all sound batshit crazy to you? Then you must be reading the show notes before listening to the show, because believe us that all completely and totally makes perfect sense by the end of the episode. Especially if you consider the Mandela Effect we discuss in Episode 29: Full Disclosure…

Plus… please enjoy Aaron reminiscing about the halcyon days of his youth, where once (during one of those long 80’s summers) he tried to incite his own Satanic Panic upon his sleepy, unsuspecting neighborhood. And later, Rob reminds Aaron for the umpteenth time he doesn’t actually watch Star Trek… but based on his latest Discovery Season 2 spoilers (warning!) he probably should…

Unless you aren’t actually reading the show notes first… in which case that Spoiler Warning isn’t much help…

Banter Topic:  Adventure Hook is switching to an archival model on Patreon, and the guys talk about those details a wee bit (including some of their favorite past projects) before also discussing the comics professional’s perspective on Aaron’s new Hellblazer #1 issue landing the cover of Previews!
