Greetings friends! Today on the pod we've got much talked about author Peter van Dop in tow! If you haven't come across Peter's name, he is the owner and rules author of BelloLudi games, a series of supplements that can both stand alone as interesting games themselves, but are also meant to bring in new players to the historical miniatures hobby. I had a blast speaking with him, and I hope you enjoy listening!

Today on the pod, we've got Dr. Franklin Rausch from Lander University, which is located in Greenwood, South Carolina. Frank is an award winning professor of history, who also happens to be a big advocate for game based learning in the classroom. His primary area of study is Asian history, with an emphasis on Korea. However, Frank is also well versed in Japanese and Chinese history, as well as interdisciplinary studies such as his course on the history of comic books in both the east and west. He is a wonderful guy, and I absolutely loved to hear about his experiences teaching using different game based models. Please enjoy!
