20 Sided Gamified Podcast

Friends- please enjoy our chat with Jacob Fathbruckner, owner of Ral Partha Miniatures. Ral Partha is one of those figure lines that both has an unbelievable nostalgia to them as well as obvious way forward into modern miniature wargaming. I absolutely love these miniatures, and I'm not alone given the reaction from folks upon hearing that this podcast was recorded! When you're done listening, give Ral Partha's website a look and feast on all of the pics. Jacob is doing a phenomenal job pushing the company forward- he was a delight to chat with!

20SG Team- we're back with more Kings of War material! If you enjoyed episode #63 and simply can't get enough of your KoW or Mantic Games fix, here is our second episode about the game, this time with Rob Phaneuf of the Counter Charge podcast! I got hooked up with Rob through Cory Ring (1/4 of 20SG's 4 Horseman stable) , who couldn't recommend him enough when it came to his knowledge and expertise of the game. I've listened to a bunch of his podcast episodes, which tackles all elements of KoW in a longform format. I love his show, and I certainly enjoyed our conversation on the 20SG platform! I hope you enjoy the show!

20SG Team! Welcome! Please enjoy the first of a 2 part series on why I love Kings of War by Mantic Games so much. It's such an elegant set of rules, beloved by many around the world. If you remember, 20SG ran some events at several universities (SUNY New Paltz and Marist College) using these rules, and to say everything went smoothly would be an understatement. The game is great for beginners and veterans alike, and I love how no-nonsense the system is. To showcase my love for these rules (and the company), I brought on Mike Carter, who runs a popular blog on KoW, and is a fixture of the wargaming scene in the Midwest. I discovered Mike's blog when I was searching for a good QRS to help facilitate my own games. He is a wonderful guy. If you've never played KoW and want to know more about the system, this is absolutely the episode for you. Please enjoy!

Friends- please enjoy the 2nd half of my conversation with my friend Nick Murray. You might remember that I aired my first conversation with Dr. Murray a few weeks ago, in which we talked all things wargaming, game based learning, etc, and focused on Nick's experiences working at the Naval War College and Johns Hopkins University. In this episode, we spent quite a bit of time talking about Clausewitz, whose text "On War" is one of the most important on the topic of war, why they are fought, and how they are fought. Please enjoy the episode. While I teach this "stuff" at in my own elective at Brunswick, Nick is the EXPERT of EXPERTS. I learned so much in this conversation, and even fixed a few errors in my own understanding of the text. It was an honor chatting with Nick, and I can't wait to get him over to school to help me with some games!

Yes, this is a long title! However, once you listen to the interview, you'll see why! The Miniature Building Authority is one of the OG's of 3D buildings for wargamers and roleplayers alike. The buildings come painted- to a ridiculously specific degree. Anyone that has seen their 25mm/28mm Medieval Castle, or has played in any of the Gnome Wars games at an HMGS convention knows exactly what I'm talking about. And if you don't, that's the whole point of the podcast! Get to know Kirk of MBA as he goes through his business practices, history in the hobby, and thoughts moving forward as the wargames figure/terrain world begins to modernize. I've included a link to the MBA website. Please enjoy the episode!

Hey everyone- please enjoy this interview we conducted with Wayne from "Adventure Away". Their business model is simple- provide your gaming group with lodging, good food, and a comfortable bed, alongside a professional roleplaying experience using D&D5E or your favorite ruleset. Wayne was a great person to talk to- I loved his approach to storytelling and game design, and thoroughly enjoyed his warm demeanor. Have fun with this one- it was a real joy to record!

For our 60th episode, Kelly and I spoke to Marcus Vine of Warlord Games. I've always been a fan of Warlord Games, given what they've done to modernize historical wargaming, and I appreciate that Marcus is always up for a chat on the show. We talked all things Warlord, including the new games in our episode title, as well as a few hints about Bolt Action 3.0. We always enjoy talking with Marcus, and this episode was a ton of fun to record. Expect to see some more Warlord updates in the coming months! I hope you are excited for this one!

20SG Fans- I'm excited to bring you one of the more "fun" recordings Kelly and I have done- a conversation with Mike Sibilia and Owen Beste of the NOVA Open. We had an absolute blast talking with these guys, who are right around our age and just as passionate about all things tabletop wargaming. If you've never heard of NOVA, it's the largest wargames convention on the East Coast of the US, and is devoted to tournaments, seminars, open gaming, and painting competitions. The con is held in the same place my Model UN team performs at each year- a beautiful spot 10 minutes from all the major sites in Washington DC. Mike, Owen, Kelly and I discussed all things NOVA- how it started, what it encompasses, and what it's like to be part of the hysteria. This was a real fun one- please enjoy the conversation and check out NOVA's website below!

Friends- Kelly and I had the utmost pleasure to interview Steve Jackson from Steve Jackson Games. It was an absolute honor. Steve was warm, friendly, and a treasure trove of knowledge about all things games. We kept this episode light and did our best to provide Steve space to tell his story. I sincerely hope you enjoy this one. I will not lie- I was a little nervous- I hope it's not too apparent during the interview!!! Enjoy!!!!
