More Crap Books Episodes

Some good news! Due to the popularity of the Crap Books episodes, Podside Picnic decided to have me on once a month to ramble some more about my genre mis-education. This will continue for as long as it’s still something Pete and I are interested in doing.

I’m currently racking my brains to list different novels I’ve not yet discussed for upcoming episodes. Full disclosure: we may reserve the right to circle back for a deeper dive of certain tie-in novels we’ve already discussed at any time. For the moment, we’ll very likely discuss the Shadowrun novel, Burning Bright (which I’m currently reading in preparation), as well as the Vampire: the Eternal Struggle CCG (!) tie-in, House of Secrets sometime soon. We’ll probably want to also explore what Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman wrote after Dragonlance. There’s plenty of material to draw from already, but we wanted to gauge interest.

This is where you come in.

Below, I will list some tie-ins (and a couple of comics) to discuss in a future episode of Crap Books. Based on your feedback, we may decided to prioritize one or more of the titles below.

In no particular order:

  • Shannara (limited to Sword, Elfstones, Wishsong and maybe the TV show)
  • Xanth (I stopped reading these after Golem in the Gears)
  • Incarnations of Immortality (the main ones; Heaven and Hell are hazy)
  • Dark Sun novel tie-ins (Prism Pentad, Tribe of One, Brazen Gambit, etc)
  • Thomas Covenant (I know — very grim; 1st and 2nd Chronicles only)

If you’d like us to discuss any of these feel free to comment on to this post or contact me with which one(s) pique your interest. I’ll also run some polls on Twitter with some of these options.

Until next time!
