With his professional experience at Japanime Games and his own company Kids Love Tigers, we talk about the process and trials and tribulations of creating a board game world filled with miniatures. Also included is our usual games played and Kickstarter roundup. Unfortunately, due to a corrupted file and a crappily recorded back up, we lost about the last twenty minutes of the podcast. Luckily we made it through most of the meat of the podcast before this had happened.

First off, a HUUUGGEEE "THANKS!" to everyone, listeners and non listeners, we talked to, hung out with, met with, played games with, that took even a second of their time to say "Hey!" All of you made our first BGGCon an astounding good time. We met, talked, and gamed with a lot of friends, new and old, and without all these amazing people in our board game community, we wouldn't have had the long, fun days that we did. Thank You! This week's episode is just a very quick recap of our shenanigans, games we played, and people we met and talked with at BGGCon. We recorded in between Wash's busy work schedule and the holiday to get it out for you guys today. Games Mentioned: WWE Superstar Showdown, T.I.M.E.

This week, High Heavens designer and publisher, Ryan Lesser joins us in our virtual studio! Not only is he now a board game designer, but Ryan's full time job is Art Director at the video game company Harmonix. So, needless to say, we were extra excited when we not only got to talk board games with him, but also some of my favorite video games, Freguency, Amplitude, Guitar Hero, and Beatles Rock Band!!! With busy schedules this week, Wash and I at BGGCon as we speak, and Ryan Lesser spending his weekends shipping High Heavens to his Kickstarter backers, this episode is a little shorter than normal.

This week's episode marks two monumental milestones. The first is recording and publishing our twentieth episode this week. The second being the first time we've had four guests in our virtual studio at one time; bringing the total of six people on our podcast at the same time! Unfortunately, the down side is that the sound quality did suffer a little. I tried to clean it up as best as I could, but my sound editing skills are still a little on the rough side. This is our first time having this many people on at one time and it took a little bit of learning how to manage and handle that many people and still try to keep our conversational format. I think it shows that we had a lot of fun recording together even with the technical difficulties and look forward to other collaborative projects in the future with the guys and gals of Tattered Board! Board Games Mentioned: Nothing Personal, The Grizzled, Pandemic Legacy, Game of Thrones LCG 2nd Edition, Warhammer 40,000 Conquest, Elysium, Kingdom Death Monster  Kic

This week we chat about some of the games that have made it to our table, Kickstarter Roundup, Kick The Box, and a little more information about House of Borgia. Games Mentioned Discoveries, Cthulhu Realms, Arcadia Quest Kickstarter Projects Mentioned 7Th Continent, Morocco, Xtronaut, Battletech

Yaaayyyyyy!! Gil Hova is back in the house! We talk about podcasting, difficulties in designing five player games and why some four players games don't work as five player games and the challenges of designing five+ player games. We also hit the subjects the difficulty of dealing with shipping for Kickstarter, and differences preparing Kickstarter campaigns for a party game, Bad Medicine, and a medium weight strategy game, The Networks. Kickstarter Games Mentioned: The Networks, Clear For Takeoff, Campaign Trail(Unfortunately Canceled atm, but we will let you know when you can expect a relaunch!), Bad Medicine, Cloud Dungeon, Looting Atlantis, Nautilus Industries., Stockpile, O'Pack of Games, Avalanche at Yeti Mountain.

We can barely contain our excitement this week. Entering our virtual studio is none other than Dice Hate Me's Chris Kirkman. He takes time out of his busy schedule of convention hopping and recovering from a nasty bug to sit down with us to chat about several different subjects including one of my favorite podcasts, his own The State of Games. Of course, we try to stay on topic as much as possible as we hit our normal Kickstarter roundup for our second segment. The last segment of the podcast is a very informative comparison between the two Kickstarter campaigns for New Bedford. The first crowd funding attempt for it was cancelled as it struggled to find its footing. About six months later, the second campaign was more than an attempt. By the end of it, it had soared passed the $100,000 mark, quadrupling what it previously had done. We pick Chris's brain about the tweaks that were made and why he thought the second attempt was such a smashing success. Games Mentioned: Codenames, Stuff & Nonsense Kickstart

This week board game designer and publisher Levi Mote enters our virtual studio to talk about the advantages and disadvantages with working with different publishers, self publishing, and do's and don'ts of speed dating.

Games Mentioned: Spyrium, Forbidden Stars, High Heavens Kickstarter Games And Projects Mentioned: The Networks, The Others, Avalanche At Yeti Mountain, Gempacked, Kings of Air & Steam: Worlds Fair, Private Die, Gloomhaven, Trove, . . . and then we held hands, Privateers!

I talk about the first time we play Castles of Burgundy as a two player game and the last of the Mystery Rummy series Murders in the Rue Morgue and Escape From Alcatraz under our playing belts. Also talk about learning the rules to Marrow Productions kickstarter game Journey:Wrath of Demons. We also reveal the next evolution in Talon Strikes two player jousting game, Kings Champion, and how you can be a part of it!

Welcome 94'ers to another remote podcast episode. I had the pleasure of sitting down with one half of the owners of Cloud Cap Games, the Tattered Board Podcast, and several guests as we wind down from a long day of gaming during Cloud Cap Games GenCant festivities. Unfortunately we did have some technical issues recording, but TC of Tattered Board was able to salvage a good chuck of it. Thanks TC and gang for letting me sit in with them and the time it took to work your editing magic. Look forward to more joint podcasts in the future.
