We are jammed full of game discussions in this episode. We revisit Camel Up Second Edition with a surprise guest. We talk about a new favorite game of Marty’s Crisis. Then we break down a new quick filler called Village Pillage that Nate Bivins brought to the table. But that is the only surprise, Marty has some special guests on to talk about the expansion for Roll for the Galaxy Rivalry. And that is not all. We play the beautiful game Call to Adventure. Want to spend some time talking about this because this game, while simple to play, is about building a story. It is important to get behind the development of the story and understand how this will drive your gameplay. There are some strategic moments in the game that can be overlooked if not careful. Hope you get a chance to get this to the table.

Now that I have a Switch, we thought it would be good to discuss an implementation of a game on the Switch. We picked Istanbul as our first one to give this a try. We have done App discussions before, but this might be the start of a recurring segment on the show. That is if we can come up with a name for the segment.

Finally, thanks to everyone who voted for us over at Boardgamegeek for best Podcast in 2018. Finally voting is going on and regardless if we win or lose, we are honored to just be nominated. Thank you so much

It's Tuesday, and as far as everyone in Atlanta is concerned, the world is coming to an end. They're predicting some snow, so, of course, everyone is loosing their stinkin' minds. Looking at the forecast, I'm not at all concerned with it. I'm more concerned with people here acting a fool because of what they think might happen, instead of what's actually happening.

Nerdherders Episode 30 (120): The 2018 Year End Spectacular

The Secret Cabal Express 44: The Joy of the Miniatures Hobby

In episode 44 of The Secret Cabal Express Bender, Aaron and Jamie talk about the joy the find in the miniatures hobby. They discuss the tools you'll need, assembly, priming, painting, basing, and a bunch of techniques they've learned to use over the years.

Blue Peg, Pink Peg Episode 138: Blackout: Hong Kong & 2019 Resolutions & Predictions

During this weeks episode:

1) The Pegs discuss their recent game plays including Architects of the West Kingdom, Gizmos, Dude, and more;

2) All the Pegs review the hand management game Blackout: Hong Kong;

3) Look back at Lisboa; and

4) Share their 2019 gaming resolutions and predictions.

Rolling Dice & Taking Names Episode 161: Pandemic-Fall of Rome, Black Orchestra, Scorpius Freighter

Time for a new year and we are trying to get things planned, at least for the first quarter. But to get the New Year started off right, we bring you three game discussions and a discussion about doughnuts.

One game we got to play was the new one from AEG called Scorpius Freighter. What makes this game different is the three action tracks. You have to advance around them to get things done, but each track is a game timer and when one of the tracks meets the requirement for game end, it is done. Very interesting mechanic and one making us wonder how we could have done it different. It is also one of those games that it ends and you just don’t believe you have enough time to get it all done. You must be efficient, or so it seems.

Marty got to play the new Pandemic: Fall of Rome and I got in Black Orchestra. Both coop games and based on our discussion with each other, we both want to get together and play them again. I really did enjoy Black Orchestra and hope to get my wife to try it since she is a big coop game fan. I can easily understand why this is in the top on many people’s lists.

Happy New Year and hope 2019 is starting off in good fashion for you.

Epic Gaming Night Episode:181 Demoing Games!

Roy and Rob talk about demoing games!

This week, the whole crew is back together in this special holiday edition of the show. We look back at 2018 and talk about our favourite events, releases and projects. We then look forward to 2019, and what we are the most hyped up about for the coming year.

A cold and blustery Monday has turned into a colder and blusterier (sure, we'll say that's a word, why not?) Tuesday. Makes me glad I got all my extra blankets out over the weekend. Seems Nature went, "Thanksgiving's over. Winter now!" It's a good time to curl up next to the fireplace with a cup of hot cocoa and listen to the radio... gaming podcasts on the radio, of course.

This week we have: The Polyhedron Collider Cast Episode 51: Dinosaur Island and Ravage: Dungeons of Plunder; Chance of Gaming Episode 119; Drive Thru FM Episode 21: BGG.CON 2018; The Secret Cabal Episode 171: Cerebria The Inside World, Yokohama and a Short Topic Extravaganza; Epic Gaming Night Episode 180: Holiday Giving top 5!; Singled Out Episode 78: Steamcon 2018 and Season 4 Trends; Geeks of the North Episode 54: Wet Your Palette; and Guilds of the North Episode 13: New England Team Tournament.

The Polyhedron Collider Cast Episode 51: Dinosaur Island and Ravage: Dungeons of Plunder

Andy is busy moving house, or playing Deep Madness in any empty flat, so it’s just Jon and Steve on this episode and subsequently proceedings are much more relaxed. Pour yourself a drink (we recommend a nice dark beer to sip on) and get cosy as Jon and Steve take you through the latest news, visit Dinosaur Island and delve deep into Dungeons of Plunder.

We also answer questions from the mailbag, which all seem to be directed at Andy – d’oh!

It's Tuesday. But it's also kinda like Wednesday, because it's the middle of the work week. But it's also kinda like Thursday, because it's the 2nd-to-last day of the work week. But since I'm typing up a Podcast Radio post, that means it's Tuesday. Let's get to it.

In episode 21 the Lords talk about Bender and Jess' new massively multiplayer online tabletop Shadowrun campaign they're about to start. Then the gang talks about a new role playing game sports tournament that will be streamed on Twitch. The Lords take a questions from a listener regarding how out GMs and players tend to describe the actions their taking. Then finally we have a discussion about alignment, what it means and how we use it in game.

Rolling Dice & Taking Names Episode 158: Arkham Horror, Shadows:Amsterdam, Hail Hydra

The annual BooBQ event at Marty’s happened and we got not only our feedbags on, but we also got some gaming on. We were able to play the new edition of Arkham Horror. If you have never have played Arkham, recommend that you do, but find someone that knows how to play to teach you and doesn’t add house rules. The rules are tough to get through the first time, but worth the reward. The game can be really intense at times, especially when things might hinge on the balance of a dice roll here and there. Overall, a great gaming experience and a must have in the coop collection.

We also got to play Shadows: Amsterdam, which was excited to play after seeing it at Gen Con. I really enjoy Mysterium and Codenames and, in my opinion, this is a smash-up of both games. If you enjoy the real-time mechanic in a board game, then you need to try this game when it comes out. Extraordinary Adventures: Pirates is a light racing game that is currently on Kickstarter and has funded. This will be one game where you can introduce people to the deck building mechanic without it being so in their face and the main focus. Do want to correct something that was said in the podcast because I smashed up the names of their previous games. Forbidden Games has produced Railroad Rivals and Raccoon Tycoon and I completely ran the two together. Sorry about that.

The Polyhedron Collider Cast Episode 50: Arkham Horror 3rd ed, Deep Madness and Monolith Arena

Any other podcast would make a big song and dance about releasing their 50th episode. Not the boys from the PHC, because they weren’t paying attention and didn’t realise they had reached such a prestigious milestone.

Instead they talk about four games that may well make their best of the year lists; Steve gets his arse handed to him by Arkham Horror 3rd Edition, Andy goes into a Deep Madness and Jon tackles Monolith Arena. Andy and Steve then quickly say how much they love Brass (Brarse), while Jon tackles the news and Steve’s delves deep into his sack, mail sack that is.

Rolling Dice & Taking Names Episode 155: Tabletop Showcase – Martin Wallace

Over the six years of doing the Rolling Dice & Taking Names podcast, we have been privileged to have some of incredible designers drop by the show and talk. Once again, the show is graced by another well-known designer who really doesn’t need much introduction. Martin Wallace took some time from his game designs to discuss his new game Wildlands.

Wildlands is being produced by Osprey Games and already has one expansion and a second following in first quarter of 2019. This isn’t a typical Wallace game, but the depth and strategy are there as you would expect. Martin mentions during the show about the use of the Interrupt in the game and just how strategic it is. To be honest, it is something we had not even thought of during our plays. So, the next time it is on the table, we will sure to be taking it into consideration.

The nice thing about having Mondays off is that you've got yourself a long weekend, and then when you get to the office, it's a short week to get back to the weekend. So, that's the best thing, to me. Anyway, as it is Tuesday, so let's get you some podcasts to listen to.

Anonymous Tabletop Episode 26: Under The Gunn

Welcome to Anonymous Tabletop Episode 26.

In this episode Lathan decides to try out for a role in a Disney commercial, Joe finally remotes in and rejoins us from his “haunted” house in Charlotte, and Katie calls out our listeners looking for some Facebook love when we find out how many of you there actually are out there.

Then we pull up a chair and get a bit more serious when we discuss the perils of fame and social media, find out that the internet truly IS forever, and one of the crew says some things they come to regret and beg me to actually do some editing for this one.

Afterwards, we talk about the upcoming crop of movies sequels to find out which ones make the grade, Tim insults another actor when he badly channels Keanu Reeves, and we really get the impression that Katie doesn’t like Tom Cruise.

And last but not least, Katie finally debuts Amazon Review Roulette, Celebrity Deathmatch gets downright anti-social when Facebook and Twitter square off, and each of us dig up our shameful pasts when we reach into the deep, dark, depths of Tim’s Sack.

Rolling Dice & Taking Names Episode 151: Villainous, Keyforge and Age of Sigmar Champions Discussion

One of the hot games coming out of Gen Con was Villainous by Wonder Forge. Demo table was always full, showed out all copies, which would make you think that this would be a hard game to get. Nope, you can pick it up at Target along with many other titles that Target is carrying exclusively. But wait, I say it should be easy to get, but all the stores around me have it sold out, not sure in your neck of the woods. If you are in the same situation, according to the Target website, the game can be shipped to your local store within four to seven days for free pickup. There you go, you can still get the game, just have to wait a bit. Don’t be expecting deep gameplay here, but this game might surprise you.

We also discuss the pros and cons of Keyforge and Warhammer: Age of Sigmar Champions and why one is beating out the other for us. We also bring the Flying Squirrel segment back to the show and discuss a topic that will need some input from the audience, what comics should we be reading right now?

Rolling Dice & Taking Names Episode 149: Detective, Carthago, Istanbul the Dice Game, Warhammer AoS Champions & Kill Team

Episode 149 is a long episode. Sorry, but that is what you get when we cram a bunch of game content into an episode. We have a guest joining us, nobody special, just Chaz. We invited him to come on so he and Marty could tell you all about the new game Detective: A Modern Crime Board Game. It is getting some incredible praises right now, so the hype engine is working hard. I have yet to play it, but looking forward to it based on what Chaz and Marty were saying. And from watching videos, there is just something appealing about how the game works that I will not be scared to break it out with the lighter gamer crowd.

Need to warn you now, we really don’t have a lot of grumpiness to report in this episode. In the two five minute segments, enjoyed both of those games and look forward to playing them again. Play Fusion/Games Workshop is knocking it out of the park and really scared with Champions. Scared in that it might take me back down a path of buying into a trading card game again. If you don’t want to have anything to do with a TCG, then the discussion around this game is worth just skipping. If you do though, you will miss out on probably two really nice mechanics that they have built into this game.

Istanbul the Dice Game will be a game I would even try and get my wife to play because of the speed of play, the light strategy, and the teaching ease of this game. Simple actions for people to follow and once again, doesn’t grow stale on the table. One ding that I failed to mention was the setup, took a little while, but that can be decreased with individual bags and maybe someone not putting out all the gems and just one to track the progress on each area.

The Cardboard Herald Episode 90: Greg Loring-"The Loremaster"-Albright explains what the heck is a "pervasive game"

Moby Dick, the essence of gaming, art theft, and pervasive gaming; this episode has it all. If it sounds like I am smiling ear to ear while talking to Greg, it's because this was one of the most casual and fun conversations I've had on the podcast in a long time. Greg is a standup dude worth keeping your eye on, because he is busy helping to interpret, shape, and realize the bright future of our hobby in some truly fascinating ways.

The D6 Generation Episode 240: Scouting Geeky Tours & Teaching Game Design

The Rolistes Episode 29 (Part 2): UK Games Expo 2018, featuring Modiphius, Burning Games, Lamentations of the Flame Princess & the UK Indie RPG League

Here’s the second part of our series dedicated to the 2018 edition of UK Games Expo.

First me meet again with Chris Birch from Modiphius following the recommendation of both Jason Bulmahn (Paizo Publishing) and Jon Lunn (Elite Dangerous RPG) in Part 1. There is much at foot at the London-based publisher/distributor with Star Trek Adventures, “Fallout: Wasteland Warfare“, “Kung Fu Panda The Board Game“, their contribution to the distribution White Wolf‘s new edition of “Vampire The Masquerade” alongside Fria Ligan, their Kickstarter campaign for “John Carter of Mars” and more;
Next, I paid a visit to Burning Games and congratulated Carlos GQ for the recent success of their crowdfunding campaign for “Dragons Conquer America“. The game is still to be delivered by the end of 2018, but the team has already several other projects in store with the “Corball – The Zero Gravity Sport” boardgame, the hope to see “Dragons Conquer Europe” as well as (EXCLUSIVE SCOOP by The Rolistes Podcast ) an ambitious miniature game / board game set in pre-colonial Mesoamerica;

Finally, I met Grant Howitt & Mary Hamilton (sadly briefly as friendly customers needed her for their purchase) from the UK Indie RPG League and Rowan, Rook & Decard.
