As you may know, Evil Genius Games went into meltdown a few days ago after a number of workers left the company with complains of unethical behaviour that made their position untennable.

We also talk about ENWorld article about the topic and what bits are the good ones to keep in mind. And lastly, we answer a question that @jonathanfranklin461, one of our viewers/listeners left in the comments: "how to do handle exploration in games without the players feeling like they are making a random choice or that the adventure is on rails?" ********************************************** Please help our channel by subscribing and commenting.

Evil Genius Games (EGG) is falling like a led balloon after a number of people have left the company citing ethical concerns". In this episode we talk about that and I give you a review of the Walking Dead Universe RPG Starter Set. Among others, EGG has licenses for Pacific Rim, The Crow, Highlander and, until recently, Rebel Moon. They lost that license after NETFLIX pulled out because of alleged confidentiality breaches and both companies have settled recently.

In this episode we bring you two reviews: Cryo A mission gone wrong. Tensions continued to mount aboard your colony ship as the days dragged on. An anonymous act of sabotage has sent the ship plummeting to the surface of a frozen uncharted planet. Damaged beyond repair, the scattered remains will do little to protect you from the brutal cold. In the engine-building, worker placement game Cryo, leaders of separate, hostile factions compete to survive and claim control over the underground caverns on a remote icy planet. You need to act quickly and strategically to avoid further sabotage from other factions. Send drones out from your engineering platform to scavenge resources and save your crew still in cryostasis. Gather different materials to upgrade and customize your platform, fine-tuning new actions to suit your individual strategy. Utilize multi-use cards to your advantage, and claim the underground caverns for your faction to survive. Find out more on the Boardgamegeek website: https://boardgamegeek.c

In this episode we cover The Marvel RPG controversy, Devil Pig Games going bust and Expedition to 5X first play review. This episode comes loaded: Recently there was a reddit thread that shows someone claiming they did the work on the Marvel RPG instead of Matt Forbeck... is there any credibility to that claim? Here is the link to the thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/rpg/comments/17ewpfe/some_interesting_news_about_the_new_marvel/ On FB, there was a statement from Devil Pig Games, who are going through some dire times and looks like could be going away completely. With some dodgy things like their website taking orders but not fulfilling them, I am guessing there is more here than meets the eye: And lastly, we do a first play review of Expedición to 5X a game from Fractal Juegos that surprised us very pleasantly. ********************************************** Please help our channel by subscribing and commenting.
