  • Episode 52 - Second Edition First Impressions
    We have points. We have played a few games. There is a LOT to take in. We give you our (most likely wrong) impressions of what may be good. We focus on archetypes rather than trying to predict the meta or anything outlandish.
    We also have James back and discuss his experience at the recent ETC.

  • Episode 51 - Jousting Revisited
    We’re joined by the Swarm Lord himself, Andrew Pattison.
    We’re starting off a bit of a back-to-basics series leading up to 2.0 and revisiting some fundamentals of the game.
    In this episode we discuss the the fundamentals of jousting. How to do it, how not to do it. Rock placement and engagements. We talk about some first edition staples in many of the examples but the intent is that is is relevent now but also useful for the transition into second edition.
