Gamers Lounge Ep. 98 – Almost 100

Episode 98 is a long one for you the dear listener. The show opens up with Bill giving a bit of an intro then dives straight into a discussion with Zach from Mini’s by Zach on commission painting. It’s a fun discussion about commission painting, Zach’s background, and then the general Gamers Lounge rambling.

Following that we dive into nearly 2 hours of good introduction and explanation for Relic Knights. Cheated Fate’s Joe is looking at the game and asked Bill and John to answer some questions for him. These turn into an in depth exploration of different mechanics of Relic Knights and a high level overview of how the game is played. This is good for anyone new to Relic Knights and especially good for any Malifaux players looking to start playing.

Enjoy!

Gamers Lounge Ep. 97 – Aetherium Genesis

Episode 97 brings you two interviews with some fantastic information about Aetherium, due to hit the markets in November. Along with that we get some great glimpses behind the scenes at the kickstarter, the game graphic development, and also the interests and views of the people involved.

First up are Brian and Chris from Anvil-8 who join Bill for an hour long chat. In this segment we discuss what Gencon 2014 was like for the Anvil-8 guys. This was their last year to be “attendees” opposed to attending as Anvil-8 the exhibitor. Following that chat we talk about the Aetherium kickstarter, where things are at, and what steps are left to getting the game in the backers hands. We also chat a bit about future plans for the game.

Segment 2 is a chat with Mike “The Dark Templar” about his experience as the Graphic Designer for Aetherium. We have a great chat about the process and he lifts the curtain a bit on why a Graphic Designer is important to games.

Enjoy!

Gamers Lounge ep. 94 – Why Not?

This episode ended up going much longer than expected by both parties on the recording. What started as a conversation regarding “Why Not Wild West Exodus” quickly moved to a conversation about communities and changing community views. Chandler is a community leader who is the guy who ends up bringing new games to his play group. We talk about the challenges introducing new games into a group who has become entrenched with a specific game system.

Overall, I really think this is a great conversation for some insight into trying to lead your group to new games.

Gamers Lounge Ep. 91 – Not what I expected

This episode has Bill all discombobulated and un-prepared. Michael was the guest I was expecting, but not the topic I thought he wanted to discuss. That said, Michael and I have a fantastic conversation about WWX, Books, Movies, and general Geekery.

It’s a lighter episode, but has some WWX coverage as well.

Enjoy!
