The Independent Characters | Warhammer 40k Podcast Carl Tuttle & Josh Sawyer

Episode 235 of The Independent Characters takes us, primarily, on a review and recounting of Adepticon from Josh and Jody's point of view. Originally we had expected to include a bunch of information about the various game stores and events Carl went to when on vacation in Australia, but things didn't quite work out as planned on that front.
If you ARE interested in the Australia Trip, Carl will discuss that as bonus content for our Patreon members of all levels.
However, Josh and Jody go into detail about Adepticon, what events they attended and provide some advice for those going in a long discussion. We hope you enjoy!

Episode 233 of The Independent Characters takes an in depth look at the psychology behind collecting Warhammer 40k. We are going to explore the benefits and pitfalls of the hobby and take a look at some strategies for not increasing your "closet of opportunity"... unless that makes you happy! To help us with this we are joined for an interview with Christopher Will, a psychologist operating out of Southern California.
We didn't realize how long this episode had gotten as we explored this topic - so strap yourselves in for a pretty lengthy 3 hours of awesomeness!

We hope you enjoy Episode 232 as much as we did recording it!

Episode 230 of The Independent Characters has us return for an update to our Show of Force for the new Space Marines and Tyranid Codexes! Be warned that Show of Force episodes tend to be damaging to people's wallets.
We have two great guests join us as well to talk about each of the armies from a competetive perspective (which is not really our expertise!) and they do a fantastic job of educating us.
We hope you enjoy our first episode of 2024!
