Episode 7 – Viva Espana

Posted on 11/09/2018 by Lee

We’re back with a new setup and a new episode! It’s been a bit of a gap since Episode 6, but plans have been afoot behind the scenes, we’re certainly not going anywhere just yet! One place we have been, however, is Vigo in Spain, where Adam took part in the Interplanetary Tournament for Infinity the game!

We’re planning to be much more active here on the blog as well as on our social media accounts (Facebook, Instagram and Twitter) as well as right here on this little blog of ours in future!

Enjoy!

Episode 6: Getting into Games part 1

Posted on 09/07/2018 by Lee

Howdy everyone! We’re back with another episode! This particular episode is slightly different to our usual format (not that we really have much of one to begin with!), in that we’re going to look at some of the better games to get started with – whether that’s because you’re just starting out in the world of tabletop gaming, or maybe you have some friends that you’d like to introduce to the hobby. Because the hobby is so wide-ranging (from card games, board games, roleplaying games, tabletop wargames and all sorts of things in between), we’re breaking it down across several episodes. In this first part of our series, we look at games for people just starting out in the world of board games!

The games discussed in this episode are:

Look out for our next part in the series, where we discuss tabletop wargames, roleplaying games, and party games! (yes, we discussed ‘party games’ in this episode too, but next time we’ll talking about the bigger games that don’t use a board)

Episode 3 – three more episodes than we ever thought we’d make!

Posted on 17/04/2018 by Lee

Yep, you read that headline right – we’ve just published our third episode – it must be a miracle!

With this new episode under our belt, we’ve now recorded a grand total of FOUR WHOLE HOURS of content for you to listen to! Incidentally, if you were to lay our podcasts end-to-end, they would stretch as far as… Well, probably not very far, I’m not sure where I was going with that if I’m perfectly honest…

On this month’s episode, Adam talks about the recent Infinity tournament he attended with friend-of-the-show, Darren, as well as the epic Star Wars Rebellion session they had.
Lee talks about his foray into the new version of late 90’s GW classic Necromunda, as well as his continued fun with Shadespire.

For the in-depth looks, the pair discuss the new Soldiers of Fortune expansion for Aristeia, and talk about the Legends of the Alliance app for Imperial Assault!

Enjoy!
