GrogCast Season 6 Episode 1 – Kickstarter Projects & Campaign Games

23 February 2018 ~

The GrogCast is back! The GrogCast is back! The GrogCast is back! The GrogCast is back! (deeeeeeeeeep breath) The GrogCast is back! The GrogCast is back!

Did we mention the new GrogCast season is here?

Jim O and Vance kick off the festivities with a discussion of recent Kickstarter projects like UBoat, Gloomhaven, DVG’s varied projects, and (sigh) Up Front, as well as Kickstarter “exclusives.”  We discuss The Gamer’s Armory wall of ASL (see pics below) and learning a COIN game compared to other ‘programmed’ rulebooks.  Vance tells us all about the new Civ6 expansion.  We also talk about keeping key games in print, and why Brant shouldn’t being the guy giving business advice to anyone.

Also, please spare a prayer for the wife of Andy Martin, the composer and performer of our theme music, whose wife tragically passed away in February after a multi-year battle with breast cancer.

Yes, we’re still shamelessly begging for some ratings on iTunes, in our quest to get enough ratings to show up on their podcast recommendations.
