In this super sized episode, we have our Yearly March Madness Tourney.
This year we try and find the BEST filler game there is.
Who will win? Who will be upset? You will have to listen to find out.
This years panel includes Dan, Chris, Matt, Ruth and Adam S. With some write in tie breakers to help us out as well.
Ok so we recorded for a LONG LONG time. I, as always, just kinda figured this would be a nice let’s get together and record a quick 3 hour podcast and then play a game or two. As always this didn’t happen. Pizza, beer, brownies and cupcakes (Thanks to my beautiful bride Janice for those) and much much much talking/debating about games, next think you know it’s after midnight.
So year editing this one was a beast and I will apologize for this being nearly four hours but hey that’s all top notch free content for you! Enjoy it in bite size chunks and you won’t be disappointed at all.
Next year however, we won’t be explaining the games we put in the field of whatever themed tourney we do. It would be nice but it’s what takes the bulk of our time up. I would rather put the time into debating and not needing to edit it down at all.
Tonight once again we have a spectacular “So you want to…” type show.
We delve into playing RPGs for a live podcast/youtube production.
And for this we have 3 of the best guests the world has ever seen. We have Rodrigo Lopez the DM of the Main Campaign of the podcast Critical Hit (On the Major Spoilers network), Donald Shultz the amazing DM from the Board with Life D&D campaign, and Lance “Undead Viking” Myxter who DM’s our Youtube Campaign “BoomQuest”.
It’s a great show that I know you will love!
If you are wanting to create a RPG group to broadcast to the world this is a place to get all the tips from the pros!

We also interview the winner of our game of the year at the end of the show, please stay tuned for it.
I had a little snafu when uploading the 1st time. I had uploaded the version without the interview first. So if your episode is NOT 3:16 (I think the 1st version is 3:03) please try and re-dl the episode
Hope you enjoy and thanks for listening!
we will post the lists sometime in the future (week or so), I don’t want to spoil it just yet!
Tonight Dan, Chris and Wolfe and joined by our good buddy Matt Riddle to chat about games we played during the Holidays, an ethical question of sorts and what role does component Quality have in how good a game is?
On tonight’s special pre-Christmas episode we decided we would open ye olde mailbag and answer some questions from the guild and the listeners.
It’s been waaaayyy too long since we have done this so we thought it would be quite a fun time. Dan, Chris, TC and Darrell touch on a bunch of great questions.
Also we hit on a ton of Flash and Arrow chat and what we thought of the mid season finales and what we think is ahead!
We will try and record on or around the 1st of the year but we will just have to see what our schedules look like!
Thanks for listening! And of course Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
Tonight Dan is joined by Chris, Matt, and Tom G, as Dan Reviews Kanban and the others give their thoughts after one play.
We also give a nice in depth preview of Tiny Epic Galaxies, the next big game from Gamelyn Games in the Tiny Epic line.
We also get into some Thanksgiving gaming with our families, some BGGcon hipster games with Matt, and a couple of new essen Gems Dan got to play recently.
We surely cannot forget Q’s from the Schmoes and FLASH talk! Thanks for listening! Please don’t forget to check out the thread for the top 11 of 2014, to help us get a feel for what YOU liked this year.
And please share us with a friend and tell them to come to the guild and like us on facebook!
Tonight Dan and Chris are joined by Nonsensical ones Tiffany and Dan H as well as good buddy Matt Wolfe.
We cover last weekends 4th annual Gamers For Cures charity board game marathon and all the games that we (I should say they) got to play.
Also covered are some Kickstarters including Dragons Flame, Phoenix Covenant, Lap Dance and New Bedford.
And we even touch on the recent Blizzard announcement of Overwatch!
Thanks for listening
And to all our friends and family and listeners out there thanks so much for your support for my charity. It is humbling the support it generates from the community and for that I am ever thankful to you guys!
Due to storage limits tonight we have a real brief show.
We decided to do another great top 3 bum one list. This time we cover TV Series Finales.
Thanks to Marty from Rolling Dice and Taking names podcast for joining us (we had some connection issues here and there so if it sounds funny with delays thats why)
We also touch briefly on the Phoenix Covenant Kickstarter the Sentinels of the Multiverse app and of course the big Marvel Movie Announcements from today.
Also please check out Gamersforcures.com to help us raise money for Turner Syndrome Society of the US with our 4th annual 24 hour board game marathon!
