So, we have good news and bad news. The good news is that Jenna has a brand new AC that works, the bad news is it REALLY works! At about minute 22, it kicks on and was picked up on our recording. We've done our best to minimize it but the audio quality isn't great. Sorry! We are still learning, and we will get better!

In this episode, we review Joker and Hive. Some things we are excited about include a Crokinole board on its way, Kickstarters Roll Player Adventures and The Whatnot Cabinet, and IceWind Dale. In other nerdy pastimes, we are reading the Dresden Files and watching Crossing Swords.

Before the stay at home orders, FLGP traveled to Madison, Wisconsin. This is the story of our trip, which seems so long ago now! Bonus episodes that feature travel have been given the super mature title of "Portapod", we hope to bring you more of these in the not-too-distant future!

We visited two very different but equally great stores; I'm Board and Noble Knight Games. In this bonus podcast, we describe the atmosphere, product and draw of these establishments. Let us help you plan your next Madison trip, looking forward to a time when we can all game in person again! Additionally, both stores have a great online presence if you are local to Madison and looking to support your community at this time.

This is your friendly local reminder to wash your hands and stay healthy, we want to see you at the game table again soon!
