We're back from GenCon, we've had a few days to recovered and then we headed back into the studio to discuss what we did, the games we played, and all things GenCon. In this first part we talk about our arrival into Indianapolis and what we did and played on Thursday and Friday.

This was played a month prior to GenCon, but this is publishing the week after GenCon. If previous years are any indication our group of gamers had a great time and they are already looking forward to GenCon 2024. For those that were there, we hope you are recovering well. For those that couldn't make it, we hope you had a great time doing whatever you were doing anyway!

In this episode, Eric and some locals bring Beast to the table. Published in 2023 by Studio Midhall, it was designed by Aron Midhall, Elon Midhall, and Assar Pettersson.

Kiwi's dream job is to just walk around in the forest and count trees, somewhere where you can lose count, start over, and no one is worried about it. There's a lot of trees out there, some body has to count them. In the meantime, tune in to Eric and Kait playing Forests of Pangaia, published in 2022 by Pangaia Games and designed by Thomas Franken.

When bP was asked about an episode title, she was clearly focused on penguins: Purple Penguins, Penguin Pals, Purple Penguin Pals ... yeah, we don't know either. Then Paxton just said there's nothing funnier than watching penguins walk at 5x speed. Basically they weren't help at all.
