67. Fighting Fantasy #8 – Scorpion Swamp (Part 1)
29:11||Ep. 67This week on the Old Mates New Laughs Podcast, we kick off our latest Fighting Fantasy adventure with one of the most unique gamebooks in the series — Scorpion Swamp. Known for its open-world style exploration, magical gems, and multiple quest paths, this swamp is packed with danger, confusion, and absolutely no clear sense of direction whatsoever.Armed with questionable instincts and a magic ring we barely understand, we head deep into the murky wilderness in search of adventure… and probably an early death.Expect suspicious strangers, terrible navigation, swamp creatures that definitely shouldn’t exist, and the usual amount of panic and laughs!Will we survive the opening stages?Will we make sensible choices?Or will we immediately wander into disaster?Grab your provisions and prepare to get lost in the swamp 🎲If you're enjoying what we're doing and want to help us grow — our goal is to of become an on-camera podcast — you can now support us via Ko-Fi (totally optional, massively appreciated), here's the link should you feel inclined...https://ko-fi.com/oldmatesnewlaughsYou can also follow us on our social media accounts here...Website - https://shows.acast.com/old-mates-new-laughs-podcastFacebook - www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61572709568634Instagram - www.instagram.com/oldmatesnewlaughs/?hl=enTwtter (X) - x.com/OMNLpodcastBlue-Sky - bsky.app/profile/oldmatesnewlaughs.bsky.social

Simple.We’re diving into everything that made Knightmare so memorable:The iconic characters and slightly terrifying Dungeon MasterThe puzzles and riddles that caused absolute chaosThe phrases we all still rememberAnd the moments where it all went horribly wrongWe’re also chatting about the legacy of the show, whether something like it could work today, and if it should ever make a comeback.It’s nostalgic, chaotic, and proof that 80s kids TV was built very differently 🎙️If you're enjoying what we're doing and want to help us grow — our goal is to of become an on-camera podcast — you can now support us via Ko-Fi (totally optional, massively appreciated), here's the link should you feel inclined...https://ko-fi.com/oldmatesnewlaughsYou can also follow us on our social media accounts here...Website - https://shows.acast.com/old-mates-new-laughs-podcastFacebook - www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61572709568634Instagram - www.instagram.com/oldmatesnewlaughs/?hl=enTwtter (X) - x.com/OMNLpodcastBlue-Sky - bsky.app/profile/oldmatesnewlaughs.bsky.social61.
