In Episode 112 Albert & guest host Chris discuss the recently wrapped up Solo Print & Play design contest.  We look at the top winners and a few honorable mentions.  We also have a brief KS segment in which we show off just how good Julius really is at Kickstarter stuff.

Like two hobbits with the same birthday, Albert & Julius celebrate the eleventy-first episode by covering two games.  First we look at the Lord of the Rings Adventure Card Game then we look at the Networks.  There is off course the usual KS segment and a quick chat on what we've been playing.  Oh, and don't forget, we fix one of these games by adding in the missing piece.

Episode 109 is here!  This time Albert describes Shadowun: Crossfire.  This is a deck buidling game set in classic cyperpunk Shadowrun universe.  Also Julius interviews B.J. Galley and Brad Lawrence on their upcoming re-Kickstarter game, Victoriana.  Plus most of the usual stuff.

It's the Solitaire PnP Design contest time of the year.  We have a long chat with Chris Hansen regarding the contest.  First we look at the normal news and Kickstarter stuff.  After we do the normal game review stuff.  This time, we look at Samurai Spirit by Antoine Bauza.  It's a neat little co-op game for the math lover & film buff in you.

Episode 104 is here!  This time we have a good PnP report, an interview with the designer of Dungeon Crusade: Book 1 Genesis of Evil, which is currently in Kickstarter.  Then we discuss the merits of owning your own lawn mowing business.

Albert and Julius celebrate episode 100 with a review of an older game, Pax. We also interview Ian Zang about the Expedition RPG and listen to Chris talk about Austerity. Plus, there's a contest!

Another long episode.  This one features singing, comedy routines and baseball!  It's late so let's just list the links.

This latest episode of the show, we cover a cool new solo game called Airborne Commander.  It was designed by Aaron Lauster and published by Stratamax Games.  This deck-building game is not unlike Friday in style, size and color.  We also talk about the idea of story in solo games.

In this very late at night episode, Julius and Albert talk about Kickstarter & Mistfall and a bit more.

We receive an unexpected phone call from an old friend this week. Join Albert and Julius as we discuss the theme of Cthulhu in gaming. We also review Cards of Cthulhu as an example of a Lovecraft-themed game,
