The 14th-century British legend of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight inspired David Lowrey’s lyrical and moody The Green Knight. That film has inspired a throwback tabletop role-playing game in the vein of Dungeons & Dragons, a game which we have played the latest episode of Overboard.

We played the game with the special guests Dave Schilling and Jonah Ray. Normally they host Polygon’s podcast Galaxy Brains, but on our adventure they played the loquacious Sir Willy and the gravel-voiced bard Glonk, respectively. They joined our heroes on a quest to meet the Green Knight … and their fate.
