Join Ed and Lauren as they plunge into the Icewind Dale in their first ever DnD adventure!

This miniseries charts the escapades of Ranger Amarille (Lauren) and Paladin Uridon (Ed) as they delve into the icy tundra of the Ten Towns.  Alex, our friend and DM extraordinaire, was kind enough to run a special adventure to familiarize us with the mechanics and weave us into an ongoing narrative.

We start off by introducing our characters and then go into a summary of our first session!

It’s an unwanted present... and it’s panda shaped! Today we work out how much we’ve really learned about gardening this year by taking on the job of the palace courtiers in the garden of the Japanese emperor. Join us as we attempt to find harmony between the royal gardener and a (very hungry) furry friend in the wonderful Takenoko.

After our review section, we delve into some of the highlights of 2020 and talk about what we want to see in 2021.

The second in our 'When Video Games do Board Games' series. 

Join us as we dive into Bethesda's iconic post-nuclear Fallout universe, replete with Super Mutants, Rad Scorpions and rads...lots of rads.

Ed gets particularly chatty in this one, so strap in and brace yourselves for opinions galore. Did it live up to his expectations?

Tune in to find out!

KWEEEEHHHH!!

Translation: Thanks for joining us, Chocobo pals!

Today we embark on a journey into the world of videogame x boardgame cross-overs!

We begin with one of our favourite franchises: Final Fantasy. Yes, Square Enix has provided us with hundreds of hours of entertainment over the last 20 odd years with this series of games, (as well as teaching us how to read Roman numerals!) but how well does this translate into a boardgame? 

Tune in to find out!

Uh oh... this episode, Lauren and Ed find themselves up (space)ship creek without a captain!

Join us as we fight off invading alien marauders, repair our own crumbling spaceship and try desperately to “FIX THE JUMP CORE” in the frantic sci fi spectacular, The Captain is Dead. This game is an homage to all your sci-fi favourites, but also a hoot for those who don’t know their Patrick Stewarts from their Martha Stewarts *hint* not referring to Ed.

The island fights back!

Join us for a game that has long been on our collective radar - Eric Reuss' SPIRIT ISLAND!

Immersive, deeply strategic and downright beautiful, this co-operative epic pits players - Spirits of an island - against colonial invaders. Work together, alongside the native setters, to thwart the explorations and win back the island.
