Acceptable Losses is a podcast that delves into grim and twisted universes, exploring everything from the dismal no-man's-lands of Trench Crusade to the shadowy and twisting cities of The World of Darkness. Hosted by Kirioth and DkDiamantes, and edited by Shy, all known for their work on Adeptus Ridiculous, the podcast explores the grim stories and lore from tabletop games, book series, movies, and video games with a lighthearted approach. Join us on this journey as we delve into the macabre and unsettling aspects of these dark universes with a touch of humor to make it a little less terrifying.

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Been listening to Ad-Ric for a while so had to check this out. It does not disappoint. Dk's goofy enthusiasm and Kirioth's ability to read bonkers lore with a deadpan delivery are great. Can't wait for more eps!

WillrowHood5150 · Oct 2025

Really like this concept as a podcast. 40k really got me into the whole vibe behind grimdark and then over the years expanding into 30k and now Trench Crusade I am really interested to see what other grimdark worlds/universes exist out there that I might not be familiar with and taking a deep dive into them. A favorite of mine is the alternate earth controlled by AM in ‘I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream’ by Harlan Ellison that I hope Acceptable Losses gets a chance to poke at some day. Think it would be a real fitting short story and game to get covered here.
