    Episode #123: Mark Fry- Author of Future War Commander 2 by Pendraken Miniatures!

    Folks- please enjoy this conversation with Mark Fry, author behind the newly updated Future War Commander 2, recently published by Pendraken Miniatures! I absolutely love these rules, haven't been playing them for a number of years. When I saw that Mark was working on a newly renovated version of the game, I knew that I had to contact Leon and get him on the show! We had a blast recording this one- please check out the link below to Pendraken's website. They have a ton of army lists and a whole line of miniatures to be used with the game. https://www.pendraken.co.uk/ 20 Sided Gamified Listeners- if you’re a fan of this show and want to support what we do, join the game at patreon.com/20SidedGamifiedPodcastLLC .

    Episode #122: Jim Wallman, Director of Stone Paper Scissors LtD and Master of the Megagame!

    Friends- Jim Wallman is such an important person in the field of wargaming, having decades of experience in a number of facets of the profession and the hobby. Following my interview with Evan D'Alessandro, Evan's first recommendation to me was getting Jim on the show, particularly to discuss his pioneering of the "mega-game", which can best be described (IMO) as roleplay gaming meets historical wargaming meets a classroom lesson for a beer and wings. He was a fantastic interview- please enjoy! https://jimwallman.org.uk/ 20 Sided Gamified Listeners- if you’re a fan of this show and want to support what we do, join the game at patreon.com/20SidedGamifiedPodcastLLC . I plan on changing the parameters of what we do on patreon in the near future. See you there, and don’t forget your dice! https://patreon.com/20SidedGamifiedPodcastLLC Next, I am huge fan of Cigar Box Battle gaming mats- so much so that they're our first paid collaboration- from one game company to another!

    Episode #121: Adam Watson- Kentucky Educators for Role Playing Games

    Surprise! I wanted to drop this episode to support a colleague in the gaming world- Adam Watson and his organization, Kentucky Educators for Role Playing Gaming. Adam is an author of book called "Tabletop Role-Playing Games in the Classroom- Infusing Gameplay into K-12 Instruction", which provides support to teachers who want to use role playing in the classroom. As a teacher, I recognize how valuable this is, as well as the professional development opportunities Adam runs on a fairly consistent basis. We talked about various topics, including a workshop Adam is running on March 17th, 2026. He is a wonderful guy and someone I look forward to collaborating with in the future.

    Episode #119: Interested in Game Design Courses at the College Level? A Chat with Veronica Gregory (Center for Learning Through Games and Simulations) and Greg Loring-Albright (Game Designer: Keep the Faith)

    Folks- this episode was a real treat, and no, the title is not there just to get you interested! CLGS is a program at Central Michigan University that gives students an opportunity to play games and simulations in a variety of courses, and earn a minor in Game Design. Moreover, CLGS publishes its own educational boardgames and has numerous titles under its belt. This includes Greg Loring-Albright's game, "Keep the Faith". In this episode, we chat with Greg about his design, and Veronica Gregory about CLGS, what it does, and where it is headed. With any luck, a few of us on the 20SG design team will get out there to see what their program is all about! More on that later! 20 Sided Gamified Listeners- if you’re a fan of this show and want to support what we do, join the game at patreon.com/20SidedGamifiedPodcastLLC .  I plan on changing the parameters of what we do on patreon in the near future.  See you there, and don’t forget your dice! https://www.cmich.edu/academics/colleges/liberal-arts-social-sciences/centers-institutes/center-for-learning-through-games-and-simulations https://patreon.com/20SidedGamifiedPodcastLLC And, don't forget about our sponsor, BetterHelp!
