Welcome to the first full session of time travel with the Wellsian, and my pals Blemen the Invisible Man, and Orlo the Morlock. We're going back to 1976 to flee from giant animals running wild in THE FOOD OF THE GODS, a flick based on the Wells novel of the same name but set and published in 1904. We're going in to note the similarities, and the vast differences, between the two. Strap yourself in and enjoy the ride.

SHOUTOUT to RADOVAN D., (@talentino12) on Fiverr.com who did the Blemen/Orlo podcast artwork you see for the title. I LOVE what he did and he's available to do art for you.

CORRECTIONS: in the episode I state the novel was published 119 years ago, which is really 120 years ago, but apparently I'm still stuck in 2023

I made the music using a groovy app called Groovepad. Find it in Google Play Store. Toy around with it. It's fun.

The Wellsian is William J. Jackson (call me Will), a wandering indie author of punk fiction who has always loved the stories written by H.G. Wells. In this intro I will delve into how I came up with this idea and how the gears will turn...

'Session Zero' is a term for a beginning setup of a campaign in the tabletop roleplaying game community. I've been a player and gamemaster in TTRPGs since I was thirteen. Decades ago. They're loads of fun. Try one out. D&D 5E, Aliens, maybe something steampunk because you listened to this intro?

The bit with Wells' voice at the beginning comes from 'Interview With H.G. Wells,' circa 1931, and it's free on Youtube!
