This week on Acceptable Losses, Dk and Kirioth dig down into the very roots of the grimdark genre to cover the first three chapters of the 1984 classic, The Black Company. We follow the annals of Croaker, the Company’s physician and historian, as the brotherhood navigates a world where law and order belong to the highest bidder and the line between "good" and "evil" doesn't exist.

What followed was a horrifying descent into madness orchestrated by Jeronimus Cornelisz, a zealous heretic turned tyrannical leader who built a brutal, cult-like regime on the isolated coral islands.

In this episode of Acceptable Losses, DK, Kirioth, and PancreasNoWork join the table to break down how the Republic and the Jedi Order effectively orchestrated their own doom. We dive deep into the extreme disarmament of the Ruusan Reformations, how the Senate abandoned the Outer Rim to pirates, and how corporate entities literally bought their way into galactic politics. We also explore the Jedi's catastrophic fall from grace—transforming from mystical peacekeepers into corrupt political lackeys who rubber-stamped war crimes and directly created villains like General Grievous. By the time Order 66 was issued, the Republic had already become an oppressive war machine. Turns out, when it came to blindly enforcing the will of a corrupt Senate, the Jedi were just following orders.

In this episode, DK, Kirioth, and PancreasNoWork dive headfirst into the bloody, grimdark lore of Werewolf: The Apocalypse. To be a Garou in the World of Darkness is to be a rage-fueled, spiritually driven eco-terrorist fighting a desperate war to save a dying world from the horrors of industry and corruption. Before we get to the bloodshed, we navigate the absolute maze of World of Darkness publishing history—breaking down the differences between the Old World of Darkness, the Chronicles of Darkness, and the 5th Edition reboots.
