Talk About Origins Fiasco with them Rescinding an invitation to Larry Correia, author guest of honor?

• Also FWIW, registration and hotels have been a hot mess, as the admin team apparently struggles with growth again.
• Accused by third parties of being racist, sexist, etc.
• His reaction piece was highly critical of Origins leadership but more indicative of how being outspoken and political online can create enemies and issues that persist over time in our highly politicized world.

Delk– is 1 play a year of a good $50-$60 game worth the initial investment?

2: is it a negative on a game that after 6 plays I feel like I have gotten everything out of it that I’m going to get? Case in point for me Game of Thrones: the board game

 

Don’t worry Franz we will get to your Q’s soon too!

It’s here!!! The GOTY show for 2017!

Our panel consisted of Dan, Chris, Delk and Mosley for this top 20 of 2017 show.

I hope everyone enjoys it.

I had some problems at the very end with the system and there is a little bit of buzz during the interview. I think I have figured some of it out but I am STILL trying to make sure the guests and myself sound good with no buzz. Which is a WiP.

Thanks For listening!

SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS

As the title and many warnings state this is part of our “spoiler alert” series in which we review, spoil and discuss movies.

So that’s your final warning!

Myself Kirkman and Riddle have a blast just talking all things Last Jedi and all things Star Wars.

I hope everyone enjoys the show.

And as I say on the show, we don’t care if you love it or hate it, have your opinions we love to talk junk and have opinions too so please respect everyone else and don’t pick fights.

That being said we all get a little (well maybe me more) ranty at times in the show so just sit back and enjoy don’t take em personal if you don’t agree.

And for pete’s sake let’s get some discussion going on the topics!!

As always Thanks for listening!!!
