S3 E5: The ScreenWalkers Write a TTRPG (Part 1)
https://rss.com/podcasts/screenwalkers/2976953
Welcome to ScreenWalkers, the podcast where we, the Walkers, tell you what’s on our screens.
This week Bekah’s had an idea. An idea for a tabletop roleplaying game. Josh LOVES tabletop roleplaying games, so we thought we’d share the process of writing this game with you. Join us as Bekah introduces the basic idea for City-States of the Marant, and as we build out what our gameplay loop will look like.
Games We Referenced During Our Discussion:
- Dungeons & Dragons (we’re most experienced in 5E 2014!)
- The Hidden Isle
- Call of Cthulhu
- Carcassone
- Warhammer 40k
- Risk
- Settlers of Catan
- Sid Meier’s Civilization
Curious about Bekah’s qualifications as an amateur TTRPG writer? See her other work on her itch.io page!

S3 E4: Josh Excoriates “The Count of Monte Cristo” (2002)
https://rss.com/podcasts/screenwalkers/2905493
Welcome to ScreenWalkers, a brother/sister podcast where we, the Walkers, tell you what’s on our screens.
This week, Josh has a lot on his mind. Specifically, he has the book “The Count of Monte Cristo” by Alexandre Dumas and its much-lacking film adaptation from 2002. Join us on a deep dive quite unlike any we’ve done before, as Josh details the plot of the film, compares it to the plot of the book, and lets us know why it’s just so so bad.
Josh’s Character Map:
RECURRING SEGMENTS
Oops, once again we talked too much and didn’t leave any time for our recurring segments. That’s okay; Bekah is still hard at work on her creative writing degree, and Josh is still working to make fun things for his friends. We’ll update when there are things to update on!

Welcome to ScreenWalkers, a brother/sister podcast where we, the Walkers, tell you what’s on our screens.
This week Bekah has a lot of questions about the worst of our media. We all love our trash– but what makes something trash? If something is trash, why do we even like it? And is liking trashy things even that bad? All these questions and more as the Walkers take on some of the best worst media.

RECURRING SEGMENTS

Bekah would also like to officially apologize for the places where it sounds like she’s talking over Josh, starting at about the middle of the episode. We record on Discord and the latency doesn’t always line up properly when we export the sound files, she promises she isn’t trying to steamroll him.

S3 E2: Beautiful Multiplayer Gaming Experiences
https://rss.com/podcasts/screenwalkers/2579150
Welcome to ScreenWalkers, a brother/sister podcast where we, the Walkers, tell you what’s on our screens.
This week Josh flies us over the world of online gaming, deftly avoiding the badlands of COD lobbies and racist Red Dead Online players, to show us how beautiful collaboration can be (within very moderated guide rails). Will he convince Bekah (famously a Woman on the Internet) that online gaming can be…. good, actually?
(P.S. Josh would like you to know that while editing this episode he burned his finger on the waffle iron, so he spent about an hour soaking the burn in cool water, drying it off, pressing a shortcut, and sticking it back in the water before it starts to hurt again. Truly we are above no price for our art. Or our niche micro-podcast about pop culture.)

Valheim

https://rss.com/podcasts/screenwalkers/1140893/
The ScreenWalkers extended hiatus comes to an end today, as Bekah and Josh return to tell us, in no uncertain terms, what’s been on their screens. Bekah waxes poetic about football (kind of), while Josh laments the state of the Assassin’s Creed franchise.
There’s a very brief mention of Bekah’s obscenely long video essays playlist at the beginning. She updates it semi-regularly, if you like watching long video essays on increasingly random topics.
Other things we talked about: Skyrim, DougDoug, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Red Dead Redemption 2, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Valheim, Jotun, The Minecraft Ending, The Count of Monte Cristo (2002)
