Welcome to We're Not Wizards. We talk about Tabletop, Board Games, Card Games and sometimes TTRPGs and D and D. We chat about games we've been playing and what we think. We have a huge back catalogue of interviews with people from the tabletop industry. Sometimes there will be audio versions of reviews from our website. Mostly, we're just trying to have fun. make bad jokes and try to entertain. If you like anything we do, remember to give us a rating, or comment on the episode and tell other people we exist. We are many things, but We’re Not Wizards.

    S10 Ep556 Board Game NuMedia, Crowded Nazguls, Cardboard Retreats and EmGameScoring

    Joined by EmGameScoring to chat all about being involved in the latest hotness of this new Instagram media stuff, which I'm not convinced will take off. However they are doing very well in the space and so I thought it was definitely worth a chat about the new BG media landscape, and why you simply can't have all the Nazgul in one space. Please give them a follow in all their relevant links, they're doing a great job to highlight the retail spaces in the hobby as well as create some great short form content. It was a fascinating chat to get their viewpoint as someone so new.. Please make sure you check out the links below you lovelies. Links of Notes Check out THIS LINK PLEASE!
