The Dead Zone with Josh Sawyer
Episode 174, Apr 12, 2023, 08:00 AM
Obsidian game designer Josh Sawyer (Fallout: New Vegas, Pentiment) harbors a not-so-secret Stephen King addiction and he joins Vespe and Wampler to talk out his feelings about his all-time favorite: The Dead Zone. Of course, being giant Fallout nerds, the Kingcast boys grill him about that a little bit as well as the state of modern gaming before diving into the Stephen King stuff. The question of what the best possible Stephen King property to turn into an RPG comes up and Josh's answer should fill you with giddy excitement.
The Dead Zone is the tale of a mild-mannered school teacher who wakes up from a long coma and comes to find out he has psychic powers. These gifts turn out to be anything but welcome to Johnny Smith, who can't help but try to use them for good no matter the personal cost to himself.
