    Episode #39-Adventures in Gloomhaven: Meet the Slackers

    SPOILER WARNING Welcome back, fellow players! It is time for adventure. It is time to go on a quest and journey to lands unknown. It is time to come together and share stories of a group of mercenaries who really do not want to work, but have been dragged into a messy world filled with treachery, deceit, and some shady lady with horns. Today I begin a new chapter of the podcast in which I share with you all the stories I have gone through in the world of GLOOMHAVEN. Though already stated there will be spoilers for GLOOMHAVEN and JAWS OF THE LION, but come along and let's hear about the wonderful actions of Denis, Screws, and Pookie. As always, thank you for your support and for listening to each episode. I love you all.

    Episode #38- Shall we save Frosthaven?

    Welcome back, fellow players! Oh wow it has been a long time without hearing from me, but I am going to blame it on the treacherous journey to the great frozen north. You will not believe the dangers I have been through, and the marvelous creatures I have seen, of which only about half wanted to murder me. But I am back and I am ready to talk about this fantastic adventure to the growing realm of FROSTHAVEN. Grab your cards, prepare your attack modifiers, and let's go fight some shrike fiends.  As always, thank you for your support and for listening to each episode.  I love you all.

    Episode #37- Lord of the Rings: Journeys in Middle Earth and Dice Forge

    Episode #37- Lord of the Rings: Journeys in Middle Earth and Dice Forge

    Welcome back, fellow players! Beyond the realm of board and video games, one of my greatest passions is stories and storytelling.  When you step into a new story you are transported to a different world, experiencing the lives and adventures of incredible people.  It brings me immense joy when given the opportunity to play through epic tales within the realm of board games, and watching characters and the world grow from play to play will never cease to bring a smile to my face.  Join me today as I look at the idea of campaign games, and journey with hobbits and elves in LORD OF THE RINGS: JOURNEYS IN MIDDLE EARTH, and then try out a new mechanism I hope to see in other games, the idea of dice-building in DICE FORGE.  As always, thank you for your support and for listening to each episode.  I love you all.

    Episode #36- Rage and The Last Campfire

    Episode #36- Rage and The Last Campfire

    Welcome back, fellow players!  Oh wow, it has been quite a long time, but fear not for I, the nerd, have returned to you with another episode of my random thoughts and feelings about a topic of my choosing. Venture with me through two incredibly different and strange new worlds, one in which you must harness your RAGE and free the world from an oppressive faceless authority and mutants, while in the other we get to sit down and relax by THE LAST CAMPFIRE and discuss the meaning of life and find hope in dark times.  The road may be bumpy and the turns may be sudden, but trust me as I discuss two video games that you might just want to check out.  As always, thank you for your support and for listening to each episode.  I love you all.

    Episode #35- Scythe and Shards of Infinity

    Episode #35- Scythe and Shards of Infinity

    Welcome back, fellow players!  One of the magical things about board games is their ability to transport players to different time periods, planets, and states of being.  Whether you enjoy a more historically based game in which you experience an alternate 1920s Europe or some distant galaxy filled with warring factions, there are games out there to attract all types of people.  Join me as I take a look at how different games use player powers to create variety and unique experiences, and dive into the worlds of SCYTHE and SHARDS OF INFINITY.   As always, thank you for your support and for listening to each episode.  I love you all.

    Episode #34- Can't Stop and King of Tokyo

    Episode #34- Can't Stop and King of Tokyo

    Welcome back, fellow players!  There comes a time in any board game day, night, or event when players are nearing full brain burn and need something to keep them engaged without sending them beyond the brink, and that is where quick and fun filler games come into play.  Whether you are pushing your luck and failing terribly in CAN’T STOP or stomping around Japan to see who is the true KING OF TOKYO, these fast and exciting games can create stories and smiles that will last for ages.  As always, thank you for your support and for listening to each episode.  I love you all.
