In this meeting of the Adventure Party, we talk with Amy Frost about dressing as your character. Be it for a convention, LARP or other gathering. Amy is the co-host of The Overcast, which is a podcast about the relatively soon to be released PC game called Overwatch. She’s also been a guest on one of Galactic Netcasts’ other shows, SciFi Geeks Club. She’s also the former host of the Galactic Netbite segment called The S-Word. She is a talented artist, crafter, and seamstress who also is a cosplayer. We discuss, how she got started, what does cosplay mean, and what are some good resources to get you started in creating your cosplay.

Glenn's Game Review:

Glenn reviews the boardgame Via Appia from Queen Games. You are on the Via Appia, the famous road of Ancient Rome. You need to help finish the road that connects Rome to Brindisi. You need to quarry stone, manage, and place materials to help finish the great Roman road. It plays up to 4 players and takes about 45 minutes to play. It's a fun game that is family friendly.

Kickstarter Spotlight

Our Kickstarter Spotlight focuses on Lobotomy Board Game. Characters will fight off monsters straight out from the classic horror movies (or maybe just concerned hospital staff?), collect powerful items (or rather random trash?) and recover scraps of memory that unlock new skills and powers (also known as slipping deeper into madness). All that in an anticipation for the final battle against the Chief Hospital Administrator who holds the keys to the asylum and your freedom.
