Adventure Book Theatre: Light on Quests Mountain (An ENDLESS QUEST Book)
The Lore Lords, as well as newcomer Jaik (sp?), are transported to a post-apocalyptic future full of sentient tractors, rideable plants, and one extremely sexy lizard. Can the Book Buds survive in his strange, and at times, poorly formatted New World? Or will they succumb to the horrors of tomorrow? Click play to find out!

I have been listening to the 8-Bit Anthology and I do love the way the crew finds a toxic relationship in every book.
Honestly Dan, Honestly....FUCK YOU
SHOUTOUT TO BEAR & THE NIGHTINGALE, NO ONE DOES IT LIKE BEAR & THE NIGHTINGALE!!!
I love how the Lore Lords are basically leading experts in the field of adventure books (because no else cares), and they still managed to make the most rookie of mistakes (thinking the preview is page 1), and then proceeded to blame the book the entire time🤣🤣
Lmfao 😂, let the Lord Lords horde their lore! They cookin🤣
Had to Google pineto wtf https://gammaworld.fandom.com/wiki/Pineto
"You are Ren" *starts sweating*
it kills me that they never described the fact that the lizard guy has little glasses

This post / episode is missing the Ad Free Episode tag. I'm working my way through the backlog having recently become a patron at a higher level so I may be making a lot of these comments, apologies in advance for whoever checks these!
How are they so thirsty in every adventure book run 😂
Just living their truth haha.
the speed at which murph plugged the patreon and said “we’re gonna do goosebumps or something” lmao he hated this book
I agree, that monster eating show is fantastic
Holy shit: a Beef Guerwitch reference.
Justice for this book! Play it from the beginning! Start from a place of joy and wonder!
Frosty 🥶 facial
I actually did cut my wedding cake with a broadsword (Scottish wedding) and let me tell you, it's the most DnD quest-adjacent I have ever felt in my life. I highly recommend sword cake cuttings for weddings, vow renewal parties, baby showers, birthdays - whenever you can really.
The words "horny as a tesla" are changing my brain chemistry as we speak
Ooh, Gamma World seems really fun, the apocalypse is called "The Big Mistake", the CERN Large Hadron Collider accidentally smashed a bunch of dimensions together, it's a very comedic setting
I am once again begging for an 8bit Book Club playthrough of a Japanese dating sim
Free Jake from this bit!
Never
Lol, I did assume the vibe was Adventure Time, so pictured them as full mutant/evopved humanoids, since they were riding their own horses, but it's so funny you didn't until half an hour in
It makes me sad the crew are unaware of Gamma World, the original setting this book uses
These screenshots really helped me imagine the danger
em making the ren noise when they mention his name in the beginning is so good.
Loool justice for Light on Quests Mountain and the lost pages
Fun as always though this one triggered a very specific fear of mine which is "your two friends fall in love and stop caring about you and abandon you because their romance means more to them than your friendship." Fun times all around!/lh
Did not mean to cause this much chaos by giving you this book. But glad you found a hot lizard boyfriend in the end. <3
You did good for us all 👍
Anyone wanna share GoodReads?
Need a Mixed Bag or something where the 2 Crew watches the first three-four episodes of Delicious in Dungeon
I vote for this too!
This book reminds me of the alternate reality episode of Adventure Time where Finn has a long nose and becomes the Ice King
Sarszard.
I’m tempted to send the book buds my HeartQuest books, since they’re also from the same crazy era as this, and also by TSR, plus it’ll give them a chance to live their fantasy romance dreams.
Whoah please do!! 1920 Hillhurst Ave #222, Los Feliz CA 90027! ~Caldwell
Cursed illustrations
Skylander is a fantastic portmanteau
Omg the bear and the nightingale is my fav book
Guys. This is just Sonic. talking animals, robots. Insane plot points. Dying alone in a cell.
The writing does not seem well thought out, but I really love the imagery. I had fun drawing the plant mounts and things. I might consider getting the book tbh
My favorite Emily quotes 🥰 4:32 "in the dreamier moments you can feel infinity" 31:00 "I make a life between his pecs"
“we’re as horny as a tesla rn”
I loved the reference to Wingspan because it is my favorite board game! I agree it can be a complicated game to learn how to play. Wingspan comes with a "swift start guide" to help new players learn how to play by walking them through the first few turns of a game, but even this can be a bit confusing for people. Here is a video of Mandy Patinkin and his family learning how to play Wingspan: https://twitter.com/PatinkinMandy/status/1512471452783718401?lang=en
Love the pictures from the book lol
With my last name being Pinedo this ep kept throwing my off
*pineto*
It’s gotta be pronounced PINE-toe. Like a pinto horse but a pine tree plant version
When murph kept spelling it out I thought the same thing!
I've been LOVING Dungeon Meshi since the anime started!
No thumbnail? 🥺
I love this sm
Anyone else just watch the most recent episode of fantasy high junior year and wonder what’s up with all the sexy lizards lately? Not mad about it tbh
Tragic that everyone was too distracted by the pinetos to comment on "you glance down at the hole that started it all"
Could the mounts be pronounced “Pine-Toes”? Like a play on pinto but they’re plants?
I really wish the Lore Lords would find a new shtick for 8 Bit Book Club. The obsessive toxic romance maniac bit was funny at first, but it's long since worn out its welcome. The first twenty minutes or so of this episode were really good, but as soon as they realized/decided Sars was hot, they just started retreading all the tired old jokes and I rapidly lost interest.
Yeah same here 8BBC is my favorite spin off since I came from the original podcast and the toxic relationship but is making me dread them.
Thank you so much for posting the pictures.
I was waiting for the day that they were actually burned by not heeding the warning to not read the book in order
Wow I absolutely hate being faced with what these characters look like
Ngl I think I love this setting.
Beef Gurwitch!
Dan Guewitch callout!!
Who Jeighk .??
Good surprise guest this episode
yeah i swear i know him from somewhere, but he seems forgettable enough
another adventure book, another horny, genderless bisexual with a deeply toxic approach to love
I think I've re listened to this podcast thrice. I love listening to ya'll
Omg Libby girls who then want to own the book unite!
It was at this moment that I realized Gamma World, a huge part of my gaming youth, didn’t get carried into the future like D&D.
The collective frustration with the writing of this book was everything. This was absolutely a wild ride
Love book club! I’m glad you’re doing more of them! They always make me laugh out loud. This one was wild
I want to date Sars!
“that oasis was such a blur…” was that on purpose caldwell 🧐
Omg when did they add "with special guest Jake hurwitz!" to the logo that's so funny
It’s been there for a while! Truly such a funny inconsequential detail!
I stopped and watched 2 videos on how to play the game Wingspan. This game is basically Brennen Lee Mulligan in a box.
I *just* got off a shitty shift of work after midnight when you posted this; thank you so much. Time for my audio hot tub.
Caldwell I think is referencing Xavier Renegade Angel when he says a future so far ahead it has become your past
Caldwell is just the sort of person that would love that show, but feel embarrassed to try to talk about it, so he just shoots out a reference now and then. If you get it, you get it.
I 100% agree with Murph, that’s an insane choice for the first page
I’m here for that choice. Our boy got goofed!
Oh my god is the guest Jaik from State Farm??
Drop the Sars nipple cut
I like the idea of featuring guests on the show. I think you guys should invite the bailiff from dnd court Jack on, I bet he’d be a good guest
Medford mentioned!
I read and loved Bear and The Nightingale thanks to Emily saying about it! Love these eps and a 5am drive to work requires something funny to keep me awake so thank you guys as always <3
Gonna add to my reading list
So awesome they finally got Jake on the show
Awesome!
Dang they reposted this or something because my comment from 10 minutes ago isn’t here. Eh that’s fine. Woah an EnDlEsS qUeSt? Also yoo early episode nice.
Woohoo!! I love 8bit book club! Now I don’t have to be alone with my thoughts :)
Too true
wicked good ‘sode guys! welcome to the show Zake
Leaping Lore Lords!
I love 8bit book club, but this is too often
Woah, early upload! Take it easy Lore Lords and Jake from work
