The Lore Lords, as well as newcomer Jaik (sp?), are transported to a post-apocalyptic future full of sentient tractors, rideable plants, and one extremely sexy lizard. Can the Book Buds survive in his strange, and at times, poorly formatted New World? Or will they succumb to the horrors of tomorrow? Click play to find out!

Woah, early upload! Take it easy Lore Lords and Jake from work

Palmate Antlers

I love 8bit book club, but this is too often

cornbread

wicked good ‘sode guys! welcome to the show Zake

Grass

Woohoo!! I love 8bit book club! Now I don’t have to be alone with my thoughts :)

Meapyboy1234567

Dang they reposted this or something because my comment from 10 minutes ago isn’t here. Eh that’s fine. Woah an EnDlEsS qUeSt? Also yoo early episode nice.

Rennifer

So awesome they finally got Jake on the show

Polly Theobald

I read and loved Bear and The Nightingale thanks to Emily saying about it! Love these eps and a 5am drive to work requires something funny to keep me awake so thank you guys as always <3

Rennifer

Gonna add to my reading list

Rennifer

Ha! I just found it on Libby!

Cameron Seker

I like the idea of featuring guests on the show. I think you guys should invite the bailiff from dnd court Jack on, I bet he’d be a good guest

Parks

Drop the Sars nipple cut

Reid

Oh my god is the guest Jaik from State Farm??

RatPrincess

I 100% agree with Murph, that’s an insane choice for the first page

Forrest Taylor

Caldwell I think is referencing Xavier Renegade Angel when he says a future so far ahead it has become your past

Clever Innuendo

I *just* got off a shitty shift of work after midnight when you posted this; thank you so much. Time for my audio hot tub.

Clever Innuendo

Caldwell is just the sort of person that would love that show, but feel embarrassed to try to talk about it, so he just shoots out a reference now and then. If you get it, you get it.

Forrest Taylor

One of the funniest shows I've ever seen and I would never recommend it to anyone, so yeah

Rennifer

I stopped and watched 2 videos on how to play the game Wingspan. This game is basically Brennen Lee Mulligan in a box.

Rennifer

I’m here for that choice. Our boy got goofed!

Ilana Galpert

Omg when did they add "with special guest Jake hurwitz!" to the logo that's so funny

9on

“that oasis was such a blur…” was that on purpose caldwell 🧐

Claire

Love book club! I’m glad you’re doing more of them! They always make me laugh out loud. This one was wild

Thomas Hegarty

The collective frustration with the writing of this book was everything. This was absolutely a wild ride

thiswayjose

It’s been there for a while! Truly such a funny inconsequential detail!

Paul Gude

It was at this moment that I realized Gamma World, a huge part of my gaming youth, didn’t get carried into the future like D&D.

Ellie

Omg Libby girls who then want to own the book unite!

Mason Murtha

I think I've re listened to this podcast thrice. I love listening to ya'll

Hunter Gay

another adventure book, another horny, genderless bisexual with a deeply toxic approach to love

Ryan

Good surprise guest this episode

Kjersa

Who Jeighk .??

Colin Kilzer

yeah i swear i know him from somewhere, but he seems forgettable enough

Papí

Beef Gurwitch!

ACK

Ngl I think I love this setting.

Hue

Wow I absolutely hate being faced with what these characters look like

Gearbox

I was waiting for the day that they were actually burned by not heeding the warning to not read the book in order

Avi Rubinoff

I really wish the Lore Lords would find a new shtick for 8 Bit Book Club. The obsessive toxic romance maniac bit was funny at first, but it's long since worn out its welcome. The first twenty minutes or so of this episode were really good, but as soon as they realized/decided Sars was hot, they just started retreading all the tired old jokes and I rapidly lost interest.

Dave Large

Could the mounts be pronounced “Pine-Toes”? Like a play on pinto but they’re plants?

Aidan Boyle

Tragic that everyone was too distracted by the pinetos to comment on "you glance down at the hole that started it all"

Kat Sokol

Anyone else just watch the most recent episode of fantasy high junior year and wonder what’s up with all the sexy lizards lately? Not mad about it tbh

Anna

I love this sm

Mink

I've been LOVING Dungeon Meshi since the anime started!

Jason Ramirez

When murph kept spelling it out I thought the same thing!

Luis

With my last name being Pinedo this ep kept throwing my off

Josh Kable

I loved the reference to Wingspan because it is my favorite board game! I agree it can be a complicated game to learn how to play. Wingspan comes with a "swift start guide" to help new players learn how to play by walking them through the first few turns of a game, but even this can be a bit confusing for people. Here is a video of Mandy Patinkin and his family learning how to play Wingspan: https://twitter.com/PatinkinMandy/status/1512471452783718401?lang=en

“we’re as horny as a tesla rn”

Becca_rebaker

My favorite Emily quotes 🥰 4:32 "in the dreamier moments you can feel infinity" 31:00 "I make a life between his pecs"

David Allison

I think he’s the guy that played Yugo

Del

The writing does not seem well thought out, but I really love the imagery. I had fun drawing the plant mounts and things. I might consider getting the book tbh

Zeon Liberation

Guys. This is just Sonic. talking animals, robots. Insane plot points. Dying alone in a cell.

Grass

Omg the bear and the nightingale is my fav book

Gumbercules

Skylander is a fantastic portmanteau

Blobby5678

Cursed illustrations

Courtney W

I’m tempted to send the book buds my HeartQuest books, since they’re also from the same crazy era as this, and also by TSR, plus it’ll give them a chance to live their fantasy romance dreams.

Summer, Autumn Eladrin

This book reminds me of the alternate reality episode of Adventure Time where Finn has a long nose and becomes the Ice King

Kris Barnes

Need a Mixed Bag or something where the 2 Crew watches the first three-four episodes of Delicious in Dungeon

Sagerenee

Oh noooo! That just unlocked a childhood memory.

Bridget Santos

Did not mean to cause this much chaos by giving you this book. But glad you found a hot lizard boyfriend in the end. <3

YaniShadelynn

Fun as always though this one triggered a very specific fear of mine which is "your two friends fall in love and stop caring about you and abandon you because their romance means more to them than your friendship." Fun times all around!/lh

Stations & Starships

Loool justice for Light on Quests Mountain and the lost pages

kimbo ★彡

em making the ren noise when they mention his name in the beginning is so good.

Mork

These screenshots really helped me imagine the danger

Lovecraftian

It makes me sad the crew are unaware of Gamma World, the original setting this book uses

Verdigree

Lol, I did assume the vibe was Adventure Time, so pictured them as full mutant/evopved humanoids, since they were riding their own horses, but it's so funny you didn't until half an hour in

Verdigree

Ooh, Gamma World seems really fun, the apocalypse is called "The Big Mistake", the CERN Large Hadron Collider accidentally smashed a bunch of dimensions together, it's a very comedic setting

Two Deers Beep

Yeah same here 8BBC is my favorite spin off since I came from the original podcast and the toxic relationship but is making me dread them.

PercyJackedSon

The words "horny as a tesla" are changing my brain chemistry as we speak

Nikolaus Cox

I actually did cut my wedding cake with a broadsword (Scottish wedding) and let me tell you, it's the most DnD quest-adjacent I have ever felt in my life. I highly recommend sword cake cuttings for weddings, vow renewal parties, baby showers, birthdays - whenever you can really.

Justin Medrano

Exactly this! And pronounced like “pine-toe”

Clotilde

Justice for this book! Play it from the beginning! Start from a place of joy and wonder!

John Beckman

Holy shit: a Beef Guerwitch reference.

Noah Crystallize

hard disagree. If booktok has taught me anything, its that people who read books are insanely horny and need to write fanfic to let it out. Our lore lords are just embodying the target audience here.

Nicholas Rand

I agree, that monster eating show is fantastic

Chloe Peifly

the speed at which murph plugged the patreon and said “we’re gonna do goosebumps or something” lmao he hated this book

Kelsey McNeil

How are they so thirsty in every adventure book run 😂

Kellyd

Have you sent these to them i am thirsty for more 8 bit book club episodes 💔

Ken W

This post / episode is missing the Ad Free Episode tag. I'm working my way through the backlog having recently become a patron at a higher level so I may be making a lot of these comments, apologies in advance for whoever checks these!

Mark

Never

aiyana graham art

it kills me that they never described the fact that the lizard guy has little glasses

CommodoreBlue

I love how the Lore Lords are basically leading experts in the field of adventure books (because no else cares), and they still managed to make the most rookie of mistakes (thinking the preview is page 1), and then proceeded to blame the book the entire time🤣🤣

Murf'nLurph

Lmfao 😂, let the Lord Lords horde their lore! They cookin🤣

kalihahaha

SHOUTOUT TO BEAR & THE NIGHTINGALE, NO ONE DOES IT LIKE BEAR & THE NIGHTINGALE!!!

BurtMcKraken

I have been listening to the 8-Bit Anthology and I do love the way the crew finds a toxic relationship in every book.
