It’s a new week, but this time Andrew and I are all by ourselves. We can’t spoil you every week with a cool guest. This week we take on the Spiel Des Jahres and I butcher the name every time I try to say it. While we haven’t played most of the games in the lists, it does open our eyes to a whole world of other games we need to play. So come in and listen to this week’s episode and discover some new games for you to play.

This week, Andrew and I are joined by a special guest – Alex Moon. He’s on this week to talk about his experience playing Warhammer 40K. We also pick his brain about how to get into the game as a beginner. More importantly, we talk about the decline of the game and what can be done to help preserve it and help maintain a healthy level of competitiveness.

It’s been some time since the end of the convention and some of us are still recovering. I pulled muscles that I didn’t know I could pull. Andrew and I have a Derek back on to talk about PAX Post mortem and possible future plans. It was a great show, and if you couldn’t be there this year, hopefully you can join us next year.

(Originally recorded on 4/23/2016) What a weekend! Somehow Andrew and I were able to find some time with a few other guests and talk about what’s been going on this weekend from the convention. This is an unedited and “un-raw” cut. Still it was a lot of fun recording and you can hear how ridiculously tired I was. What the heck is unraw? I honestly haven’t heard the clip in it’s entirety. I got home and I just uploaded it. So if there is something terrible in it, then oops. Otherwise, enjoy the show!

I know we talked about it last week, but this week we’ve got Chase to give the full details about what it’s like putting together the show at PAX East. It’s a lot of work, but well worth the effort. And if you’re interested in getting a spot on the crew to help out, then take a listen to this week’s episode! Big shout out to Josh Warren! We love you, man!
