    1P 340 - Popular Mechanics: Miniatures

    1P 340 - Popular Mechanics: Miniatures

    This week Julius and I go out on a limb and talk about miniatures gaming.  Turns out this isn't a subject we really know much about so we struggle to come up with some good examples of it.  Still, I think the episode is useful if you are curious about miniatures gaming and want to find out a bit about what that is.
    Also, check out the new YouTube channel for an alternate way to listen to the show.

    1P 339 - Unsettled

    1P 339 - Unsettled

    This week Julius is back (but staying far far away from my teleporter).  He talks about being lost in space in the game Unsettled in which you are exploring new planets while lost in space.  It's a big big episode about a big big game!

    1P 338 - Sentinels of the Multiverse & Cauldron

    1P 338 - Sentinels of the Multiverse & Cauldron

    This week Julius and I return to talk, yet again, about Sentinels of the Multiverse.  This time we change things up a bit and talk about new content.  First, we talk about the Cauldron expansion for the  original editions.  Then we talk about the Definitive Edition and our thoughts on that.

    1P 337 - Star Trek Captain's Log

    1P 337 - Star Trek Captain's Log

    This week I'm talking about another solo RPG.  It's Star Trek Captain's Log by Modiphius Games.  Due to some technical issues, I ended up recording alone.  Hopefully any problems are resolved before the next recording.  Sorry Julius!
    This is an interesting game in which you create a character to tell stories that feel like an episode of any one of the TV  series.  It's a versatile system that is worth checking out if you are a Star Trek fan.  Just be ready for a bit of a struggle to find the fine.

    1P 336 - Expedition to Newdale

    1P 336 - Expedition to Newdale

    This week Julius is out so I have a special guest.  A podcast listener, ChrisOkay, comes on the show to talk me into playing Expedition to Newdale.  The game will eventually get played by me but that is probably years away.  Technically, I did play it a couple of times when I first got it... one solo and one with my son.  Chris thinks I should play it sooner and really get it on the table.  So, he tells me all about the game.  I have to admit, it sure sounds fun!
    Newdale is actually the 3rd game in the Longsdale series but only the 2nd soloable game.  I have the other game in the series, Tybor the Builder and have yet to play that either :|

    Oh My Goods! Big Box (BGG)
    Tybor the Builder (BGG)
    Here's the cards I mentioned in the show.  You can follow the path from the next game I'll be talking about (Star Trek Captain's Log) all the way down to Newdale, a lifetime away!

    1P 335 - Popular Mechanics: Set Collection

    1P 335 - Popular Mechanics: Set Collection

    This week Julius and I discuss set collection solo games.  We each bring three games that we think include set collection in the mechanics and are interesting solo games.  Just a footnote here... I am right about Agricola.  The first set of three sheep gets you a point.  After that, every set of two sheep gets you a point!  If you disagree, just let me know.
    08:15 Onirim
    11:00 Pandemic: The Cure
    13:25 Agricola
    19:00 Isle of Cats
    23:22 PAX
    26:00 So You've Been Eaten
