The Season 8 Carol Awards are on Wednesday!

Share This Post

The votes are in, the envelopes are stuffed, and the trophies are polished! That’s right folks, on Wednesday August 14th, The Fandomentals will be playing host to the 4th (somewhat) Annual Carol Awards, the most prestigious of all awards shows solely devoted to honoring the greatness that was Game of Thrones season 8.

This year is as dramatic as ever! There was a complete tie in one category, and it will be decided live during the awards show. Of course our other live-Carol, The Editor’s Award for Most Egregious Nomination Oversight, is also sure to be a nail-biter, since there were over 250 write-in submissions.

For those wondering what to wear, it’s black tie, of course. This Carol Awards will be hosted by the MCs Kylie, Julia, and Caroline, with special guest award presentations from our Fandomentals friends and family: Jana, Blaire-Luna, Musa, Bo, Gretchen, Griffin, and former Fandomentalist guest LuciferMeansLightbringer. We’ve got quite the show ready for you, full of twists and turns and of course, dramatic satisfaction.

How can you prepare? Well, we’d argue no one is every truly prepared for those Golden Carols, but you might want to consider brushing up on Game of Thrones season 8:

Hopefully those titles alone are good reminders as to why we need to celebrate such success.

So coming to you at live, 8am EST on Wednesday 8/14, it’s the Official Season 8 Carol Awards. We’ll see you there!

The Ultimate TTRPG Tarot Offers Up Much More Than Collectible Novelty

The Ultimate TTRPG Tarot is based on the classic Rider-Waite Tarot deck, and doesn't do much to alter the overall style of the deck. Instead, Zachary Bacus and colorist Hank Jones replaced the classical esoteric imagery with things straight out of a D&D game. For instance High Priestess has become a Mindflayer, albeit a nerdy one with glasses and a DMG. The art also reflects the overall humor of the cards, which is stuffed to the gills with references and in-jokes straight out of a TTRPG convention. It's sort of like if you mixed a tarot deck up with a game of Munchkin. That writing comes from Jef Aldrich and Jon Taylor, hosts of the System Mastery podcast, who bring their pretty wide experience in tabletop to bear in this deck.
