  • Lord of the Rings: The Card Game, or, Finding a New Lifestyle Game, or, Embracing a New Style of Life
    May 2 2024

    GREAT EPISODE NAME, right?!

    Season 2 comes to an end, almost exactly a year after it started. I do apologize that I haven't been more consistent with these episodes, but I'm not sorry for the reasons behind those delays. (Does that... even make sense?) Please join me in this episode to learn more.

    Thanks for joining me for this happiest episode I've ever made.

    Also, a huge thanks to Nelson from Nelson All Over Cards for joining in the episode, too. Sorry for the time(s) I say "Nelson Over Cards" instead of "Nelson All Over Cards" - I'm in marketing, and I should know better! Nelson - you're the best!

    Season 3 will be here someday. Just give me some time to settle into this new way of being. :-)

  • Scholars of the South Tigris (and the other North Sea, West Kingdom, and South Tigris games!)
    Jan 16 2024

    The ostensible purpose of this episode is to discuss the latest South Tigris game - namely, Scholars of the South Tigris. What ends up happening is a retrospective on ALL of the North Sea, West Kingdom, and South Tigris games, which I'm sure is shocking to anyone who knows how LASER FOCUSED and ON TASK I usually am.

  • Robinson Crusoe and The Halls of Hegra
    Jan 3 2024

    Back for another episode! The audio quality is a bit low on this one, and I do apologize for that - I wanted to get this one HOT OFF THE PRESSES before I get a puppy in my house shortly.

    IT'S FINE I AM NOT STRESSING ABOUT IT AT ALL

  • Interlude from a Car: Trust and Safety in the Solo Gaming Community
    Dec 4 2023

    I'm selling things from my house, which means selling LOTS of things on Facebook. It sucks.

    This episode is some musings (ramblings?) about "trust" in online communities that buy and sell things from strangers, and it offers some context for why I suck at putting out consistent content right now. I've got feelings about selling the house, and feelings of gratitude (mostly!) for you gamers out there.

    (Sorry for the poor audio quality! I'm talking into a speakerphone in my car for this episode. Maybe hearing my voice less clearly is a... good thing?)

  • Race to the Raft
    Nov 16 2023

    We'll keep this nice and short: I'm back from my lil' breaky, with aspirations for a more consistent output through the rest of this year!

    For this short first episode back, I give my thoughts on a new game - Race to the Raft - by the designer of City of Kings and Isle of Cats.

    I actually live with two cats now, and I've never had cats before this year! I'm a new man.

    Not really. I just can't think of anything else to say here BYE

  • A Quick Lil' Break
    Aug 9 2023

    Just a short announcement that Season 2 is on a bit of a pause through August 2023. I'll be back with better content when life has calmed down a bit, and look for extra stuff on the Patreon in the meantime!

  • Solo Board Games and Video Games
    Jul 13 2023

    This episode is a bit late, and that's because I went on vacation without bringing my computer! I'm very dumb, and I'm very sorry for that.

    Tune in to hear me think about solo board games in the context of one particular video game: Tears of the Kingdom. How do size, scope, and sandbox-iness all fit into the experience of playing an "epic" game -- analog or digital?

    (Please forgive the audio quality on this one.)
