This week’s guest is Doug Walker. Ever since I learned that Doug had done a successful Kickstarter campaign, I’ve wanted to get him on the show. Thanks to Andrew’s efforts, we got him. He shares with us his experience running a Kickstarter, the ups and downs, and what the future holds for his company. So if you’ve ever been interested in Kickstarting something, this is the episode for you. Enjoy the show!

Introducing the Junior Planeswalker Society – A Magic Program for Young People

jps

The Junior Planeswalker Society is Battleground’s new program that is designed specifically to provide a fun, safe environment for kids who are interested playing or learning the trading card game Magic: The Gathering.

We believe tabletop games develop social skills and strategic thinking, and Battleground wants to help make these games available and accessible to the community. The Junior Planeswalkers Society aims to create a group setting to support young players, where they can make friends and improve their critical thinking, decision making, and problem solving skills. Our staff will be on hand to help, teach, coach, introduce, and play. No experience required!

 

The Junior Planeswalker Society will meet every Friday from 4:00pm – 7:00pm beginning October 7th.

 

Contact:
Chase@battlegroundgames.com
508-316-1195

 

This is a TOTALLY FREE event that will offer a structured, casual environment for young people to play Magic in, meet new people, and develop their skills.

 

The Junior Planeswalker Society will be taking place at both Battleground locations.

 

Please email, post, or call with questions.

 

Come play!

Behind The Shield – Episode 31 – “Inclusivity”

behind_the_shield_sample
 

Great discussion this week about inclusivity. It’s a hard subject to get right, but the first step is taking the initiative to do it. The store is always looking for ways to help make people feel welcome and included. So if you have any suggestions, feel free to let us know! There is also very little Star Trek (lie) in this episode even though it’s the 50th Anniversary of the series. Hope you enjoy the show!

Behind The Shield – Episode 30 – “A Short Attention Span For Games”

behind_the_shield_sample
 

In this episode we get a little nostalgic. We take notice of some of the 80’s resurgence in gaming and talk about some of our favorite games growing up and even discuss some we’d like to see remade today. However, it all goes to hell and our conversation goes from gaming to Star Trek. So apologies ahead of time if you’re not a Star Trek fan. But if you are, get yourself a snack and a drink, and enjoy the show!
