End of Summer AMA

2 hours 22 minutes

End of Summer AMA, Tabletop Transitions. Discussion topics include going back to earlier editions of D&D for players who really like min/maxing, transitioning from competitive games to cooperative ones, swapping from blogging to podcasting, RPG systems we did not enjoy, the shift to online gaming, and success in content creation. Sticking with the theme we take a looking back at Azul Summer Pavilion and look forward to spooky season with a review of Scooby-Doo! Escape from the Haunted Roller Coaster. Finally some early and disappointing thoughts on CO2 Second Chance and Watergate. I also got a chance to play Welly Can Land a rather amusing beer-based board game and Unlabeled another beer-based game we recently reviewed.
