Ade-15-feb-marc013-FO68A45BB591-V1-Rev3-1-e1487650406794.png

Can you hear in my voice how excited I am to talk to another board game reviewer? For an hour, we geek out about games, creativity, criticism, and Archipelago. It is absolutely apparent in reading even one of Marc's articles that he lives up to his moniker. If you are listening / reading / viewing my junk and not checking out his, you are doing something wrong.

Episode 90 - Greg Loring-"The Loremaster"-Albright explains what the heck is a "pervasive game"

July 25, 2018 Jack Eddy
greg-loring-albright-FA-300x300.jpg

Moby Dick, the essence of gaming, art theft, and pervasive gaming; this episode has it all. If it sounds like I am smiling ear to ear while talking to Greg, it's because this was one of the most casual and fun conversations I've had on the podcast in a long time. Greg is a standup dude worth keeping your eye on, because he is busy helping to interpret, shape, and realize the bright future of our hobby in some truly fascinating ways.

Chuck Pint, president of SFR, inc, comes back on the show to talk about the new kickstarter to reprint Swamp Stalkers, which also kicks off the release of the much anticipated 4.0 rules.

I have no official affiliation with SFR or Dragon Dice, other than being a long time fan, and I happily asked Chuck to come back on the show to talk about Dragon Dice with me.

Episode 79 - Kwanchai Moriya Artist Extraordinaire

May 9, 2018 Jack Eddy
kwanchai moriya jubilee.jpg

If I could have all games illustrated by only 5 artists, I know for fact that Kwanchai Moriya would be the first one on that list. His illustrations incorporate wild, diverse styles with tons of personality, reflecting the very core nature of the game itself. So it should come as no surprise, I was a little starstruck in this one. We talk about how he got his big break, challenges, accomplishments, and all the rad stuff he has right around the corner.
