We are finally sharing with you the rather abbreviated panel we hosted at 221B Con this year! We played a game called "Empire Building": You are James Moriarty, aspiring crime lord, and you have the ability to recruit anyone from all of fact and fiction to build your empire. Who are you recruiting and why? Because of the timeslot, 10-11am Saturday morning, we didn't get a lot of players, but there are some great ideas and some fun discussions to be had here, so we hope you enjoy the recording! Your hosts are Madeline Quiñones and Dixie Parkinson. Contact us at [email protected], and follow us on Bluesky, on Facebook, and on Tumblr.

There was a fascinating panel at 221B Con that we got permission to record, and now we're sharing it with you! The panel was called "Adam Worth: The Napoleon of Crime," and the panelists were Heather Holloway, Crystal Noll, and Chris Zordan. Adam Worth was one of the real-life inspirations for Professor Moriarty! The sound quality isn't great, and we apologize for that. We hope you enjoy anyway!

Note: Please mind the explicit tag. "Villains get all the good press — in real life! They're cool, they're awesome, they're — no, wait, they're not, they're actually pretty pathetic. Join our podcast for a fun discussion as we dismantle the reputations of iconic bad guys (and see where Moriarty, Moran, and other Canonical villains fall in the ranking!)."
