Dicebreaker Podcast Dicebreaker

Matt is joined by consulting detective Wheels and street urchin Meehan to talk about Wheels’ crime-solving with Sherlock Holmes, Meehan’s beef with the gods in D&D world Theros, and Matt’s Cold War spying in Pandemic Legacy: Season 0. (With no spoilers!) We also go toe-to-toe with the WWE card game, discuss this year’s ENnie Award-winning RPGs, look at the new releases coming up and answer your questions on our favourite RPG systems, planning a session zero and the board game trends we’d like to bin off for good.

Matt, Lolies, Johnny and Meehan gather for a slightly shorter episode this week, but still manage to cram in the week’s bevy of board games news - including the new Twilight Imperium expansion, X-Men game, Warhammer 40,000 app and re-release of classic D&D adventure Curse of Strahd - thoughts on what we’ve been playing (Fort, Fort and more Fort) and answer your questions about what we call rolling a 1, how to introduce new RPGs to friends and the board game world we’d choose to live in.

Matt, Johnny and Meehan crack open a fizzing can of refreshing tabletop discussion with our thoughts on Fort’s pizza economy, Pandemic Legacy: Season 0’s [REDACTED] and [EMBARGOED], and this summer’s best (only?) party game involving Irn Bru, lofts and a cousin’s wedding. We also talk through 2020’s Spiel des Jahres winners, the end of the Transformer TCG, MTG’s Jumpstart format and the next game from the makers of Wavelength. Plus, your questions on bending the rules, our pop culture treasures and video games deserving a tabletop adaptation answered!

Plus, the answers to your questions about borrowing ideas from popular D&D web series, the best way to teach board games and the ultimate showdown: gonk droid or orangutan?

Sorry in advance to any Back to the Future fans.
