Spooky Season (2024 Edition)

It's the best time of the year: Spooky Season! And darn it if Mark and Scott didn't forget to record a segment on this for release in an October episode. The joy of not considering release dates during pre-production. That'll be changing in the future, but until then have a whole singular helping of the topic. Enjoy!

**Mark would have totally put Nightfall on the list had he remembered it. What an oversight! It would have taken the place of The Few and Cursed most likely. You'll hear about that soon enough probably.

**There was an additional conversation about a game called Coma Ward that was ultimately cut from the episode. It was an attempt at another publisher to come up with a modern version of Betrayal at House on the Hill and it ultimately failed. Mark didn't want to just dunk on it in this episode, so that content may come out in a future Odds and Ends episode.  

**You might be wondering why Neither Mark nor Scott mentioned Horrified (a specific entry or the series) and it's because ultimately neither one likes it enough. Mark feels the first game is by far the best, but gets tired of the pick up and deliver whereas the rest of the series is deeply unbalanced and missing a lot of rules. Scott thinks that while the original Horrified felt very groundbreaking at the time that it was released, the other versions don't bring anything new to the table and there are a lot of games out there that are scarier and (for him) more fun. 

**We did discuss the Night Cage and considered putting it on the list, but the issue is that neither of us feel like it's a very good game. It's an incredible and substantially creepy theme with a really solid production, but in Scott's words: "I love its idea, its just not that great of a game. It ends up being Top Deck: The Game." Mark can't really disagree with that feeling and wants another try from the publisher at it. 

**Both Scott and Jason really enjoy the game Atmosfear. It is possible to find it online for anywhere between $50-$80 normally and all the video content is available on YouTube so you don't have to rely on a VCR. Go wild! Be spooky!

**And as a final side note, Scott thought about pulling a practical joke on Mark and do the Top Five Snoopy Games but he was very tired and forgot the joke until after post recording.
