Welcome to Fireside Quest! Hosted by Andres, Ben, and Michael, we embark on a monthly gaming odyssey similar to a book club for gamers. Each month, one of us selects a game spanning genres, budgets, and themes, from lesser-known gems to colossal hits. Episodes drop on the first of the month, featuring discussions on a shorter game alongside a longer game we're playing over four months. Through intentional gameplay and thoughtful discourse, we explore the depths of gaming for greater fulfillment and appreciation. Tune in as we chat and delve into our gaming adventures!
After a short hiatus, we're back! Thanks for your patience as we get back on track with Fireside Quest. This episode, we dive into Lunacid, Andres' pick, a dungeon crawler that brings the charm of old-school RPGs to life with its PS1-era graphics and atmospheric world. Fans of retro-inspired games won't want to miss this one. Join us by the fire as we reflect on what resonated most about this nostalgic yet fresh experience.
