An Unexpected Podcast

Join us as we (Lord of the) Ring in the New Year with our first record of 2023! In addition to our usual list review, we discuss some exciting upcoming releases and then revisit an old topic, our personal top 5 favorite profiles, revised after a year of new releases, updates and errata.

Happy New Year from an Unexpected Podcast!

Have a favorite model that you feel is under represented on the tabletop? So do we. Join us as we discuss ways to incorporate models we feel are underused in your competitive lists. Furthermore, as a bonus, the crew is joined by special guest, Italian SBG sensation Alessandro Sganzerla to chat about his recent experiences at Masters level tournaments.

We've all been there. The round timer is short and the clock looms over your game. You may wish you had been given just a few minutes more, and so do all who go to play at such events. But that is not for us to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us... Join us for a discussion on how to effectively manage your time in events with short rounds!

And Happy Holidays to all our listeners!
