The Exploring Series

Leisure EN ↓ 551 episodes

Lore, mythology, and history summaries in easy to understand and easy to digest formats. The series aren't totally comprehensive, but they provide a great springboard for someone just dipping their toes into a new franchise or topic. So far, I've covered the Cthulhu Mythos, Middle-earth, Star Wars, The Elder Scrolls, Norse Mythology, Celtic Mythology, the SCP Universe, and Warhammer 40k, but I hope to continue doing this for many years.

Exploring the Cthulhu Mythos: The Cthulhu Mythos in Bloodborne 17.12.2019 28:17

Exploring the Cthulhu Mythos: Mythos Locations 11.12.2019 8:51

I wouldn't mind living on Yuggoth. No sunburns, and you can just take a vacation every year when the eldritch horror pops out.  P.S. Some writers believe that the palace in The King in Yellow is actually located in Yhtill, a city nearby Carcosa, but I decided not to mention it.  Complete Fiction of Lovecraft on Amazon: http://amzn.to/2r0xgJu   Support the Patreon to see Exploring vi...

Exploring the Cthulhu Mythos: Cthulhu Mythos in Games 08.12.2019 6:07

I for one can't wait for Cthulhu Mythos Go.  P.S.

Exploring the Cthulhu Mythos: Cthulhu Mythos in Film 07.12.2019 5:42

Since I've already gotten a number of comments about it, Re-Animator and From Beyond are NOT Mythos stories, they are just Lovecraft stories. I recommend reading Lurker in the Lobby if you want a full history of Lovecraft stories put to film. For those wondering, my favorite Lovecraftian film is In the Mouth of Madness.  Complete Fiction of Lovecraft on Amazon: http://amzn.to/2r0xgJu   S...

Exploring Dungeons and Dragons: The History of D&D 06.12.2019 24:28

So, like I mentioned, this is obviously a pretty truncated summary of the last few decades of D&D development, and I should note that I personally have not played any edition prior to 3.5, so my knowledge of those systems is a little rougher.   Support the Patreon to see Exploring videos early and vote on new ones!: http://bit.ly/1U9QkPh  Join the Discord!: https://discord.gg/eBHHHe5...
