Tonight we have what might be the greatest cast of personalities ever assembled.

We continue our series with “So you want to make board game videos” with a star cast of Rodney of Watch it Played, Lance the Undead Viking, Joel from Drive Thru Review, and Chris who does TONS of Kickstarter Videos and also reviews.

Dan moderates the discussion and also we touch on the recent success of [thing=148575][/thing].
