Game On Tabletop: The Interview room Podcast

October 16, 2019 by Paco G. Jaen

Game On Tabletop is a fairly new crowdfunding platform that was born out of the desire to cater to the board and roleplaying games community. Is it worth considering?

The idea of Game On Tabletop is a really interesting one. Considering that games have been a huge amount of the money that has gone through the Kickstarter doors, having a business that caters specifically for us, game backers and game creators sounds like a very good idea to me.

Considering the stiff competition out there, how is it going to fare?

I spoke with Laura Hoffmann, spokesperson for the company and managed to ask her a whole bunch of questions about the tools the platform offers and whether it can offer an experience worth investing in as a board game or roleplaying game creator.

Hope you enjoy the interview!

Podcast Episode – The Boardgame Review Room: Heroes

August 11, 2015 by Paco G. Jaen

Heroes is a deck building game for 2 to 4 players published by Rebel that combine real time dice rolling mechanics with deck building and battling all in one. And it looks truly stunning.

Now, I am not a friend of real-time dice-rolling mechanics. It just drives me mad, but in this occasion it works really well and the game is a joy to play at every single level.

The battle side of things is also pretty cool and I loved this game.

Want to know more? It’s all in the podcast.

Hope you enjoy the show!

Podcast Episode – Pre-Spiel preparations with Michael Chamberlain

October 22, 2013 by Paco G. Jaen

By Paco Garcia Jaen

And the biggest and best convention of the year is almost under way. Michael Chamberlain and I have been hard at work – well, mostly Michael – finding out what could be interesting and what games we want to take a proper look at this year. Also who we’ll be interviewing.

We asked a bunch of people to send us some clips as well, describing what their games are all about and why we should be interested in getting them.

This episode is a one-off and is a wee-bit longer than usual, but we have *so much* stuff to go through that we, simply, couldn’t make it any shorter.

Still, hope it’ll give you a good idea of what’s to come and, if you can’t make it to Spiel, head to your shop and start pre-ordering/nagging them to get the games you want.

There are many game you want. Trust me…

Podcast episode – The Board Game Review Room: Mice and Mystics review

October 13, 2013 by Paco G. Jaen

Hello everyone, today we are bring you our Mice and Mystics review for the first time!

Please, do come in and make yourself confortable. There are still some seats at the front here.

The Boardgame Review Room is open!

Today we take a look at Mice and Mystics, a game from Plaid Hat Games that took the world by storm and showed how dungeon crawlers are done.

Not just that, it also showed the world that family games can be challenging for adults and children alike while being mega fun.

And that they can be gorgeous too!

You might think after reading my introduction you don’t need to hear the podcast and must head to the shop to get a copy of this game, but since the podcast is less than 30 minutes and it’s going to take you at least that time to get to your shop, you might as well listen to us talking about the game on your way there.

Enjoy the show!

The GMS Magazine Podcast Episode 123 – The last episode!

October 6, 2013 by Paco G. Jaen

By Paco Garcia Jaen

Welcome back friends to the last episode of the G*M*S Magazine Podcast.

Every since the podcast started, and that’s over three years ago now, I’ve been addicted to it. What started as a once a month endeavour quickly became twice a month, then weekly, and then more often than that with various different shows.

We’ve had dozens of interviews with amazing people and amazing games. Some terrific Kickstarter projects and some not so great, but all taught us something.

Now things have to change. Unfortunately I don’t have time to look after the production of the podcast, the videos and the main site, so need to delegate and, at the same time, take the opportunity to diversify too.

So the podcast goes away, but not the podcasting channel. In fact, that is going to grow.

From now on, the Podbean account we have, since it’s a lot bigger and has more storage space than I can fill in one month, will become a podcast channel.

What does that mean? It means you’re going to get more episodes of more shows about more subjects and topics of gaming interest.

We’re going to have as many Rooms as G*M*S Magazine Mansions can host. Starting with The Boardgame Room, The RPG Room, The Boardgame Interviews Room and RPG Interview Room, The Boardgame Review Room… And more rooms to come!

In one iTunes or RSS feed, you’ll get all those shows. If they are of no interest to you, then just delete it and the next one will be interesting. Just like a TV or Radio channel, you’ll have a variety of shows and you can listen to those that are interesting to you and ignore those that aren’t.

This means there’s space for more rooms and if you want to have your own room and your own show, we should talk. Basically I’d like to give people out there the chance to have their own podcast without having to pay for any hosting.

So there you go.

The last episode and the last farewell, but not the last goodbye!
