Behind The Shield – Episode 33 – “What is a Vorthos?”

It was a slow news week, but Amanda treated us to some shared knowledge about what it means to be a Vorthos. She’s been keeping up with the stories they’ve been publishing on the MTG mothersite and clued some of us in as to what was going on in the world of Magic: The Gathering. It’s really great to hear how the story connects to the cards so many of us overlook as we play them. The next time you get a chance, maybe you could take some time and look into the current story of Magic: The Gathering and enlighten yourself as to what’s going on in the world of the game you play.

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!

Behind The Shield – Episode 31 – “Inclusivity”

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”

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!

In this week’s episode Andrew and I are joined by a familiar face, and she’s here to stick around…I think. Well, she’s always been there, but not in an official capacity. Now that I think about it, I’m still confused. Ah. Anyways, it’s a fun episode and there’s even a story about someone’s first experience into the world of table top miniature painting. Enjoy the show!

I recently got an e-mail from the fine folks over at Extra Life reminding me that the big event is only 90 days away. So naturally, I went into panic mode. This week Andrew and I talk about some of the games that were highlighted at this year’s Gen Con. We also go over some of the great Conspiracy spoilers as well as set our foot down on some Extra Life event details. Enjoy the show!
