Lo Rusters! Darrow, Mustang, Holiday, and Ragnar crash land in the icy wastes of the Obsidian homelands. The crash didn't kill them but the creatures and the weather and landscape of this carved, ruthless land me do the trick. And if that all doesn't get them there are some dangerous Golds hunting them.

Lo Rusters! With a Red Rising movie in some phase of pre-production, we thought it might be fun to get all the pods together for a group discussion. Here is the result - a Frankenstein’s monster of an episode featuring @fadetoobsidian, @howlerpod, @hailreaper, @bigalexanderreads, @sharkbatesbookshelf, @highkeyobssessed, @lej_s, @theforvm, and yours truly. It was a fun chaotic bit of mess in which we pretty much all just agreed we are buzzing for what’s in store. -First up @bigalexanderreads and @sharkbatesbookshelf talk Fannibals, the Hunger Games team, naked Viggo Mortensen, and how the fandom can welcome in new Howlers.-30 minutes in @fadetoobsidian and @swlarue of the @thehowlersden talk the old rights and early scripts, Howler best practices, how to avoid a Shadow and Bone situation, and why we need to not be dicks.-52 minutes in @howlerpod breaks shit, @wordswhiskeypod fixes shit (then disappears for a moment), @highkeyobsessed is as fired up as G.W. and does some excellent fan casting, and @hailreaper is all in on the movie and is ready to play Ralph!-1.45 minutes in @swlarue returns to hang with @lej_s of @theforvm and we dive in on what might happen to some of the characters, what the score or soundtrack might be, and how pumped we are for the moment the lights go down and the big screen lights up.   Music by Deepgrave Studios

Lo Rusters! Darrow and the gang are leaving town and along their way they see what the Rising really means; the violent nuts and bolts that make up a revolution. Then an old friend (maybe) ends up following them and then the shit hits the fan and the ship hits the ice. Music by Deepgrave Studios

Lo Rusters! Darrow and Holiday and Ragnar leave the street fighting on Phobos in search of an army. They pick up an old friend and head out into the Martian skies that are now a battlefield as the Rising takes its new, bloody form.  Music by Deepgrave Studios

Lo Rusters! Today we have return appearance from  ⁨@alyshafortunereads⁩  breaking down some big questions - is Darrow above the Republic? Should he be? Did Mustang make a mistake? Where is Sevro? What happened to Wulfgar? Huge spoilers so beware - go read the damn books! Music by Deepgrave Studios

Lo Rusters! Darrow is channeling Churchill in this chapter as he and Sevro and the Howlers go to war. They get all the pieces moving and execute a brilliant strike against the Jackal's hold on Phobos. And in the process, Darrow delivers a war aims defining speech, maybe top 3 or 4 in the whole series. Music by Deepgrave Studios

Lo Rusters! The long simmering pot has finally boiled over as Darrow and Sevro duke it out. The boys need to get back to basics and being brothers. Scott of Backbone Wrestling Network and @ShiffReads and @indie_artbox join us to break episode down. Music by Deepgrave Studios

Lo Rusters! Qucksilver is talking! And talking. And talking....and talking. Lots of history and philosophy and economics in this one as Regulus ag Sun breaks down some hard truths for Darrow and Sevro. He holds up a big enough mirror to the little terrorist warlord that Sevro kind of breaks. Music by Deepgrave Studios

Lo Rusters! Darrow and Sevro and the Howlers take a quick spacewalk and then get straight to business. Kavax is a prisoner and has information Darrow wants. Quicksilver is a prisoner and has information Darrow needs, But in both cases Sevro is a bit of a stick in the mud. Music by Deepgrave Studios

Lo Rusters! While Charles continues his campaign against the boiler we figured we would pause the chapter crawl until he can hop back on mic (which will be this week with chapter 19!). In the meantime we had on Indieartbox and Cicerostories for a little fanfic fun. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!  Music by Deepgrave Studios

Lo Rusters! Charles is out this week so we have Leland stepping in as we find out what happened in the conference room after the Howlers broke up Quicksilver's little meeting. How will Darrow and the Gang get out of this pickle? And what's going on with Sevro? Music by Deepgrave Studios

Lo Rusters! Darrow finds Quicksilver in the middle of meeting with two very important people - Mustang and Cassius. Before he can try to figure out why if enemy is meeting with his ex, things get a little manic.  Music by Deepgrave Studios

Lo Rusters! Darrow stumbles his first teacher and old friend Matteo while he and the Howlers seek Quicksilver. It is not a happy reunion, nor is it the last confused, unhappy, violent reunions for our hero and his friends. They do find their target but Reugulus ag Sun is not alone. Music by Deepgrave Studios

Lo Rusters! Darrow and the Howlers are on the hunt for Quicksilver as they go through the silver tycoons headquarters. Slowly Darrow is realizing that Sevro's plans are not great and he has to do something and fast. If he doesn't, the Rising might be in a very bad way, very soon. But how does he manage the ego of his best friend and commanding officer? Music by Deepgrave Studios

Lo Rusters! Darrow, Victra, and the Howlers head to the martian moon of Phobos to raise some Cain. The Goblin is planning to escalate shit by blowing shit up, maybe not the most well thought out strategy but one that will feel good. Can Darrow figure out a way to channel the blast in the right direction while not undermining his best friend? Music by Deepgrave Studios
