Docking Bay 94 The Board Game Reviewers Podcast

Summer keeps ticking along, and the chaos of moving digs its paws deeper into it. I'm close to seeing the end of the move and by the end of August life should be grounded and stabilized and content should be back to its regular schedule. Until than, I apologize for the sparse content through the months of July and August and Wash and I would like to thank all of our listeners for their patience and loyalty through it all. This episode includes Ian from Magic Meeple Games talking about Kickstarter, his game Fire of Eidolon on Kickstarter right now, and many other games and subjects.   Links: Fire of Eidolon Kickstarter Page Magic Meeple Games Website Magic Meeple Games Twitter   Pathological Nerdcasters Network Docking Bay 94 Podcast Page Link Docking Bay 94's Stitcher Link Docking Bay 94's iTunes Link  Jason Hancock's Twitter Jason Washburn's (Talon Strikes)  Twitter link   Talon Strikes Facebook Page Link Talon Strikes Homepage

Summer, why do you have to be so chaotic! I apologize for our unscheduled hiatus for most of July. My Yeti microphone had crapped out on me right before the Fourth of July Weekend. After the holidays, I was able to get a hold of Blue to help me take care of the problem, which they happily did! All I have to say is “Thank You, Blue!” They’re customer service was phenomenal. They advised me that Yeti microphones have a two year warranty, (which I wasn’t aware of) and I just had to send mine to them and if there was a defect, they would promptly send me a new one, which they did. So, if you are a podcaster, looking for a new mic, be sure to check out what Blue has to offer. They haven’t disappointed me yet! So, pair that with just life in general being busier than normal, and July is already gone by! I apologize in the delay with our programming. BUT! WE have fixed this today! In this week’s new episode, Moe from Club Fantasci joins me again to talk about a GM less RPG called Labyrinth by Chris Zimmerman. Links

If you are looking for something to pass the time away as you wait for the Fourth of July, Independence Day, activities to kick in to high gear, or it's just another dreary boring Monday for you, than we have a treat for you! So, just sit down with Wash, our guest, Nathan Kohatsu, and I, as we chat about our gaming origins, Kohatsu's top five games of all time, and games we've been playing. Happy Independence Day to all who celebrate and a late Happy Canadian Day to all our friends North of us! Of course, I hope everyone else's Monday goes as well or better as a Monday can go! Cheers!

A bonus episode with Edo from Pencil First Games dropping by to talk about his game on Kickstarter, Heroes and Tricks, co-designed with Jonathon Gilmour. Be quick though, after this airs, there won't be much time left in the campaign. We also discuss Edo's Youtube channel of videos that range from game reviews and previews, to his new series of videos helping new creators and publishers with advice about running their own Kickstarter projects.

This week, Wash and I welcome back renowned board game designer, developer, publisher, and President of Lone Shark Games, Mike Selinker back into the studio. We stumble upon many topics ranging from the digital implementation of the Pathfinder ACG, Apocrypha, to an upcoming Lords of Vegas expansion to crossword puzzles and more.

I wanted to take a quick moment to say to all the veterans and their families around the world, for they have given up more than many of us can comprehend. "Thank you. I know the words themselves can never be enough, but I hope the appreciation that underlies those words start to be." This week Aaron & Quentin sit down with us to discuss podcasting, Asmodee news, board games, Kickstarter, and other random topics for this week's episode.

We talked about some of the games I played at a small local convention, PDXAge, that I attended last weekend, and Wash talks about some of his games he's been playing in his spare time.

Aj Porfirio of Van Ryder Games sits down with me in Wash and I's  virtual studio for a little chat. Surprisingly, without the help of my amazing co-host this week, I managed to stay on point throughout most of our conversation. Only a couple of minor squirrel moments arose.

This week we have something a little different for you. During Gamestorm 18, I was part of a panel that contained members of the Pathological NerdCasters Network. I was joined by TC and Carissa of the Tattered Board Podcast, Brandon Burke of Spaghetti & Meeples, and Andrew Mayer of Level Up Design Podcast. We had some hiccups and technical difficulties with a wire short with one of the mics, but overall it came out pretty well. We had a blast chatting amongst each other and all the guests that joined us during the panel. We are working on the video from it and will have it up soon on PNCN’s YouTube Channel. So, here you go!

After a week away from the mics, we are back. We were excited when Anthony from the Cardboard Jungle podcast wanted to join us and chat about the board game industry. His specialty, other than talking to his two partners on their podcast, and pushing chits and rolling dice, is helping publishers and volunteers find each other, as well as being a volunteer himself for many years now. If you've ever wondered how you can be more involved with the board game companies you love, or a new or old publisher looking for tips and how-to's for gathering minions to help you at the conventions, or you just want to hear three old guys ramble about board games and the industry that fuels our habits, than this is the perfect episode for you! 17:03 Volunteering Anthony's email for volunteers: CardboardCorps@gmail.com 1:04:51 Kickstarter Projects Mentioned Walking With Ramona, Overlords of Infamy, Watchmen of Destiny, Ancient Sands, Dirty Cops, Red Dragon Inn: Battle For Greyport, Prism Dice Important Links: Anthony's Twitter

This has been a busy week for Wash and I as we polish the gifs, jpgs and videos for the House of Borgia Kickstarter page launching early Feb. 15th. But, not too busy for us to sit down for our usual chat about games we've been playing, the flood gates of games that have washed ashore on Kickstarter, and our thoughts on some of the latest news in the board game industry.

Sorry to be running a little late this week, but I think you will find the content well worth it. Since Wash has been busy prepping and preparing for the House of Borgia Kickstarter fixing to launch on February 15th, I asked Moe to stop by our virtual studio and hang out for this week's belated episode. This actually works out perfect since we both had received review copies of Victory Points Hearty Health Hospital at BGGCon last year. This gives us a chance to review and discuss about the cooperative game at length. We also talk about our time spent on Tabletopia playing Draco Magi and our impressions of the virtual world that is invading our tabletop space. Of course, a podblast wouldn't be complete without talking about some Kickstarter projects on Kickstarter right now, and reveal two projects Moe and I have received lately that failed in their delivery of the final product. 5:00 Games Played Section: Healthy Heart Hospital, Draco Magi, Tabletopia 17:00 Kickstarter Projects: e-solo-e, Polyversal 6mm Mini

Its a new year and a new podblast! At the end of last year we discussed our favorite games of 2015. This week, to start off the new year, we chat about the upcoming games of 2016. This is by no means a full list of games we are looking for, but some that we deserve a little extra buzz going into the new year.
