Sometimes life conspires against you and the things you normally do, you can’t do them normally because life has got in the way. However that doesn’t mean that what you do in a different way is any worse. In fact, it can be just as good!
In this episode, Jenn, Vickey, Dale and myself discuss what have games done for us and our lives, and also what do we think games can contribute to someone’s life. A very meaty subject that made the podcast be a bit longer than we would like, but hopefully you’ll find it insightful.
It was also my pleasure to have Scott F. Gray back in the show. As always, it was a pleasure talking to him, and it was indeed a pleasure to read his book, We Can Be Heroes. We talk about the book and its contents at length, though there are no spoilers, so don’t you worry.
This episode is a bit strange and very different from the usual.
We don’t have an interview. Instead, Jess, Dale and myself have a chat about the difference between the game trends and tastes between Europeans and our friends from the USA.

This is a special episode. It’s special because, for the first time ever, we have a guest for the second time. This has happened in the RPG podcast, but not in the boardgame one.
But first things first. Mark, Lorien and myself give you some quick reviews of some games, Start Trek, Cave Evil and others get a mention after we’ve been playing them, and if you needed to know if you want these games or not, you might be interested in what we have to say.

This time I am joined by Lorien Green to host the podcast, since Mark was away and unable to come to this episode.
We did have a great time, though! Chatted about wargaming and Salute 2012, the wargames exhibition in London Excel that has taken place for the last 40 years.

This is a special episode for various reasons. First of all because me and Dale are joined by the gorgeous Jenn from the Jennisodes to co-host our show. Apart from having a wealth of knowledge and the charm to go with it, Jenn just happens to be absolutely lovely and we had an absolutely great time.

Thanks to Margaret Weis Productions, we can now enjoy the Marvel RPG. A new game based on the Cortex Plus system that has been designed to bring the comic books to life. Philippe Menard gave us a very good insight about this game in episode 32, but I thought we needed more, so I invited Cam Banks to come to the podcast and answer a few questions about the game. Of course being the inquisitive being I am, I couldn’t stop on the Marvel RPG and asked him about more things. Tons more things!

In this, bit later than usual, episode we have got a good for you.
Mark and I go head to head to discuss if Games Workshop is a good business or not. I don’t think they are a good business because they don’t do enough from a business point of view, and for their licensed products in general (not to mention their lack of contact with the general public). I don’t think they are bad, but they are not good either. Mark says they are because they make money and thus they do what they’re supposed to. But what do you think?
