GMS Magazine Podcast - RPGs, Board Games reviews, interviews, advice. Mostly Asian and Indie games.

A few days ago before posting this video/podcast, Quackalope, a well know, large YouTube channel dedicated to board games, came under fire when a company released data que showed what looks like an extortion attempt by the channel’s staff.

We go into detail in the video, but in a nutshell, Quackalope offered to scrap some 50 hours of footage they had recorded because they found the game difficult to deal with, and replace it with newer footage for a 7500$, reduced from 12.500$.

Then things got ugly. You can read more about it in these sources:

Over the last few weeks/months we have seen a ridiculous amount of bills passing in the USA against the Trans and Queer communities.

How is that affecting the gaming community and what can we do?

Chris and I talked with Matthew Makak, co-founder of Room51 about their experiences and perspective on the matter.

Bad experiences at conventions is something most people, luckily, don’t experience. Conventions tend to be pretty awesome places. However, it can indeed happen and, in this episode, Chris and I talk about some of the bad experiences we’ve had over the years.

Mythic Britain & Ireland is the supplement for Free League’s Vaesen written by Graeme Davis and that came to Kickstarter with great success. I had the chance to ask Graeme about the book, how it came to be, what it contains and what makes it worthy of attention. Also about his experience with Free League and creating creatures for the Year Zero Engine.

In this episode, Chris and I talk about tackling tough subjects and what the role of a sensitivity reader is in a game and whether if you get rid of one issue you have to get rid of all of them.
