20 Sided Gamified Podcast

Good morning friends! I'm on about 4 hours sleep, sitting at my Northwest Frontier table here on the second floor of the Lancaster Convention Center. Yesterday, Titch and I waxed philosophical about all things Historicon, topics including the dealer area, flea market, wargaming rules, and many other topics. If you don't like profanity- be advised! In my exuberant enthusiasm, I certainly got into the zone during recording! Titch is always the easiest guy to talk with, and we had a total blast recording the episode. Please enjoy!

Friends- I'm posting this episode from my lodging space in Lancaster PA- home of Historicon 2024! Kelly, Titch and I got in yesterday and it's been a whirlwind thus far! Now- the first episode I'll be dropping today, for your consumption, is my conversation with John and Greg from Pico Armor. They are one of the best- if not THE best- in the field when it comes to the smallest scale miniatures- 3mm! I have tons of their stuff, and when I saw that the Greg was spearheading a new project which took the classic game PanzerBlitz and turned it into a minis game, I knew I had to have them on! If you're here at the con, find these guys and say hello! Please enjoy the conversation!

Fans of the show- in the words of the immortal Bruce Buffer, we......are......live! From the sold out Lancaster Convention Center.....it's time!!!!!! 5 rounds at the most premier historical wargaming convention in North America! This first episode was recorded around 5pm on Thursday from the new 20SG HQ on the second floor of LCC. It's a great spot. Hugely thankful for having HMGS host us, and we're gonna do our best to give you an accurate record of everything going on here at the con. This episode is all about first impressions- if it sounds overly enthusiastic and somewhat manic- that's because it is! We're stoked to be here! Enjoy!

Friends- the tables are turned once again in which a friend of the show takes over the helm! In this episode, part 3 of continuing Friendcast about wargaming projects in 2024, Titch crafted a series of great questions for Jared and Cory about being a game master (GM). We did our best to give quality, thorough answers about what to do and not to do when putting together a game for friends, family, or strangers at a convention. I warn you- this is one of the most meticulous episodes we've recorded. It is super, super specific, a huge credit to Titch who put a lot of time and thought into drawing out the best answers from us. So, if it sounds like those questions were thought out- they were!!!!! Thanks Big Dog!

For our 70th (yes 70th!!!!) episode, we start to get hyped for Historicon 2024 which begins Wednesday, July 17th. The 20SG table will be running beginning Thursday afternoon, and over the course of the con, Kelly, Gavin, Adam and myself will run a total of 7 games. If you're interested in playing, chatting, or you just want to meet the team, swing by to say hello! To get hyped for the con, we devoted an entire episode to talking about the games we're running, what the inspirations were, and what we're most excited about regarding the convention. We're stoked to be a part of the con, and as always, we'll record at least 1 episode while we're there. If you have interested in the AWI, Dark Ages, fur trading in Alaska, or the Northwest Frontier, this episode is for you. Please enjoy!

Friends- for my second posting following the July 4th holiday here in the states, I present to you one of my favorite historical wargames- Bloody Big Battles. It is a phenomenal game for many, many reasons, and to showcase the rules, I brought on the man himself, Chris Pringle! Chris has a long history in the wargaming world, and BBB is one of his finest rulesets. Along with fan and scenario designer Vincent Tsao, we chatted all things BBB, including the origins of the game, some basics about how to play, and where the game is headed in the future. It was an awesome discussion- please enjoy!

Friends- this is a real special one. From the moment I started this podcast, Joe McCullough was one of the folks I wanted to have on as a guest. He is arguably one of the finest contemporary game designers out there right now, penning titles such as Frostgrave, Stargrave, Oathmark, and many others. It was a delight chatting with him about his start in the hobby, his transition to living overseas, and his thoughts on being a full time rules author. Please enjoy!

Only on the 20 Sided Gamified Podcast folks! In this meaty, 2 hour episode, Kelly and I finish our conversation with Ken AKA "The Yarkshire Gamer". However- there is a little bit of a twist. Due to a timing issue on my end (or, was it?) Peter from Baccus Miniatures (owner, rules author, and maker of the finest 6mm figures there are) hopped into the Zoom space and it turns out he knows Ken! Instead of editing or splitting the episodes, we simply kept going and did the first "megasode" in 20SG history. Please enjoy it!!! And, please check out Baccus Miniatures at the following site:

Friends- Please enjoy our conversation with Ken Reilly, AKA the "Yarkshire Gamer". I first came across Ken's work on his "Yarkshire Gamer" blog, and noticed just how prolific he was when came to his painting and attention to detail. From there, I checked out his podcast, Youtube videos, interviews, and lastly, his work on Instagram. Ken's dedication to miniature gaming is only surpassed by simply how delightful he is to talk to, solidified by our in person meet up at Salute 2024. We hit it off and knew that at some point, 20SG would be invaded by all things Yarkshire! So, enjoy part 1 of our conversation with Ken, and if I were you, I'd blast right into part 2 for a surprise special guest who got a certain joy out of ribbing our new friend!!! Yes- we chatted with Ken twice!
