It was really fun discussing how Knightmare was such a big influence on Cryptmaster for the book with the developers. It's a show that many people don't know about but certainly leaves a lasting impression.

it's so good and it's kind of wild how well they pull it off

I love watching people discover Knightmare. A massive part of my childhood, and watching it religiousluy was probably the thing that set me up for an eventual descent into DnD.

@rosetintedspectrum.bsky.social has a couple of great (and hilarious) retrospectives that are well worth checking out. I didn't grow up with the show and I've found them to be an excellent introduction.

Knighmare is awesome. This is the vibe lots of UK-developed games of the 80s and 90s were explicitly going for

Damn right, me and some friends applied to be on that show when I was a kid!

We had Nick Arcade, but it was only 1 segment, and you could see what the greenscreen was doing on some other screen offstage youtu.be/LWp42P8Jpjw?...
