Episode 19– Lords of Watergeekdom, and Gyroplay + Darwin vs Hawking in fight to the death.
Tonight we try and catch up by talking about a TON of gaming and movies.
We played D&D Euro — Lords of Waterdeep right before the show and talk about the impending play of Zong Shi right after the show.
In movie news we touch on the “John Carter” debate of if it’s a “bomb” or not.
And as usual we get on a weird tangent in which Gyroplay confesses why he wants to punch Stephen Hawking. This gets us on a long tirade of whackiness, to which I assure you a small disclaimer: We mean no offense EVER to any groups so please don’t be offended by anything we say ever. We just like to beat on each other and have fun giving each other crap.
Except maybe for Transformers, I am pretty sure Gyroplay wants to offend them all the time.
Enjoy and please keep a look out for our Guild on BGG and let us know any topics you would like covered in the future!
