Episode 6 is the season finale for Night of the Zombie King. The ending comes much, much too soon for me. NotZK really lived up to the hype. I don't know if the creators of GOLD plan to continue with these characters or the ones from season 1, but I really hope they opt to stay with the Zombie King characters. Yes, they may have taken a large leap in resolving both their in game and out of game issues, but you can't fix your whole life in a night and the Zombie King is still out there!

Episode 5: Thoughts of Darkness

Life continues to mirror the game as Jaz goes after Hicks to apologize.

Official Description: Jaz pursues Hicks, trying to coax him back into the game. Hicks explains his difficulty in coming to terms with the past, and they stumble upon a plan to salvage the adventure.

Episode four, Howls in the Night, is up on GOLD's website.



The Summary:

As Hicks had predicted, the decision to split the party results in disaster. When Jaz is unable to come up with a solution, Brian's anger boils over and he forces an out-of-game confrontation.

Night of the Zombie King continues to seriously impress, representing a Quantum leap forward in what we can expect from the producers of GOLD going forward.  

GOLD, the Series that does Double Damage, has finally returned!

They are currently following up their very successful first season with the first of their "companion adventures."  GOLD: Night of the Zombie King looks to take the series in a different direction, choosing to focus on the character of Jaz specifically.  NotZK seems to be going for a different tone than the original, but that doesn't mean the the humor is gone.

Have a look at the trailer below and head over to GOLD's website to check out the new season!

The makers of Gold recently released the trailer for Night of the Zombie King. Looks good and I love that last line!

Dead Gentlemen, along with a new production company formed by some of its members, Zombie Orpheua Entertainment (ZOE), have announced a new web based series, JouneyQuest! 

I am very excited about this new series and expect it to follow in the tradition of some other high quality web based shows such as GOLD and Doctor Horrible.  I'll be updating as more information comes available!

One of the Blogs I've discovered recently is the RPG Blog II. It's a great general RPG blog and if you haven't checked it out I highly recommend that you do. The owner of the blog, Zachary, is a big supporter of the internet series Gold. I had never heard of it before and am indebted to him and his blog informing me.

Gold is a web based series much like The Guild (and if you haven't seen that either you should check that out as well) except that Gold is about table top RPG players. Well... not just any RPG players these guys are Olympic level RPG players who compete internationally for the gold medal. I could give you a more detailed description but I'd rather show you the trailer...



Personally, I really enjoyed season one. Overall Gold is hilarious show dedicated to the hobby and all gamers should check it out. Head over there, and if you like what you see click on their donate button and do what you can to make sure you get to see more!
