On this month's episode we are joined by special guest host, epidemiologist and wargamer, Dr. Eric Lofgren! Eric was a presenter at the first ever <a href="https://warhammer-conference.com/">Warhammer academic conference</a> and he was kind enough to share his time with us discussing <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcTkw1nXZpY">his presentation</a> and talking about what that experience was like. His presentations were focused on Horus Heresy specific events and was a fascinating guest. You also get to hear three grown men excitedly discuss their favorite diseases. Somehow, we went an entire episode with a real life plague doctor and didn't make a single Nurgle reference! Eric stayed with us to discuss the upcoming Dark Mechanicum releases, shared some pro-tips on playing Imperial Fists as a Heresy army, and took part in our closing listener Q&amp;A.Check out Eric's blog at <a href="https://variancehammer.com/">Variance Hammer</a> and follow him on <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/variancehammer.bsky.social">Bluesky</a>.Happy Halloween, don't die of plague!Logo Design by <a href="https://www.nikolking.com/" style="color:rgb(34,34,34);">Nikol King</a>Intro and Outro Music by <a href="https://skullcultist.bandcamp.com/" style="color:rgb(34,34,34);">Skull Cultist</a>Background music by Orthokeras with vox from <a href="https://aliasynesthesia.com/" style="color:rgb(34,34,34);">Alia Synesthesia</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/belladaturacreations" style="color:rgb(34,34,34);">Nicole Turner</a>Audio Production designed on the Forge world of the Vorpal Goat.
