In this episode, as well as covering all the latest news from Agents HQ - Such as our marathon game of Moonstone, we're talking about Games Workshop's Small Box Games.

Could the company make more out of them? They seem very popular amongst casual players, but GW seems to take a fire-and-forget approach with them. Are we asking too much of GW, after all, what after-purchase support do standard boardgames usually get?

This was one of biggest live audiences, so do check it out and join the fun!

As well as all the latest Agents and gaming news in this week's episode we discuss an article from September's Tabletop Gaming Live.

Ben Maddox wrote about "Stuff." Is it time for games to slim down? Can the Kickstarter model of towering boxes of plastic be sustained?

A relaxed episode this week, as Robin recovers from Covid and the summer slow-down means there's not much gaming going on.

We look at new releases, our plans for the coming weeks, and ask why do people get so stressed about the "Lore?"

Warhammer, Star Wars, Marvel or Tolkien. The Lore ever shifts so that companies can make money (Don't get Robin started on Winnie the Pooh) yet some people are convinced it should be set in stone.

In this episode, Pete and Robin round up all the Agents' news, looking forward to our games of Moonstone and 0200 Hours. We also pick over the latest news about Marvel Crisis Protocol and GWs updated contrast paint range. We talk about our travails on the painting table before moving on to the subject of the week. Should more games use apps?

Whether to help you track rules interactions or provide a more dynamic narrative experience, apps could definitely enhance the modern tabletop game, why then do games not use them?

In our community shout-out, Robin mentions #fabulousmarines and #fabulousmarines2022. Pete discovered on air that is linked to a charity - The Trevor Project. More details can be found here. https://fabulousmarines.com/
