In this episode we create a vision of a hell in which daemons try to live better lives, but are plagued by crime and corruption. And of course the occasional kidnapping by humans from another world.

Episode 9 - Outlandia

Hosts: Jim, Jon & Kent

Guest: Chris
 
We build a galactic spiral arm in which magic and technology co-exist and humans and other strange species band together to defend against a threat that seeks dominion over all. WARNING: This setting combines Science Fiction and Fantasy. If that's not your cup of tea, you may want to skip this one to avoid having to crawl into a corner and rock yourself back and forth to comfort yourself against the sacrilege. In the mean time, we'll be having fun riding our magical space ships. ;)

Recommendation: Jon recommends Community.
