Indiana Geeking

Happy Friday, my friends! We are at the final pre-Gen Con episode of the Indiana Geeking Podcast! Over the last couple of weeks, we've talked with local game makers, and game accessory designers, and then to wrap it up, I have a special treat! John Kennedy is a local freelance game designer, who has worked with game studios like Kenzer & Company, Third Eye Games, and Modiphius! You may have played some of his work, as a matter of fact! Either way, John is a great local Geek, who graciously dropped by the Geek Cave last week, tried to lure away the Pibble, and talked with me about how he got started on game design, discuss Impostor Syndrome, talk about racism in Transformers, and more! We had a longer-than-usual conversation, but we had fun, and I didn't feel like trimming any of it out! So, sit back, and enjoy the next ninety-six minutes of Geekery!

Thank you all for listening! As always, be excellent to each other, and to yourselves! I’ll see you all soon!

Good day, my friends! As we creep up to Gen Con, it's time for another podcast! This one is really cool, because it's with a few gentlemen from Plow Games, makers of Last Front, which was at both Gen Con last year, and Indy PopCon this year! While they won't be at Gen Con this year, they are a pretty cool local game maker, and they gave me a run through of both Last Front and their new game, Hexes and Henchmen (Working title)! So join myself, James Vining, Greg Phillips, and microphone-less Tyler as we run through Last Front, Hexes and Henchmen, and talk about the company and other myriad items. So, sit back, and let us all fill your earholes with our voices, and the sounds of dice, for the next hour and ten minutes!

Happy Friday, my friends! We have another brand new episode of the podcast this week, as we're building up to Gen Con 50 here in Indianapolis! Jacob and JJ from Geeks 1st are joining me today, and they run a really cool company here in Indianapolis that makes sturdy organizers and cases for your games, be them card games, board games, or even sewing supplies! We discuss many of their products, which they design and make, all in-house, here in Indiana. In addition, there is a slideshow of photos of many of the items we talk about on the main blog post at IndianaGeeking.com! I'm also doing something new starting this episode: Since I use Five Year Mission songs to open the episodes, I'm asking the folks I interview what their favorite Original Series episodes are, and using the song for that episode as the opening track! Hey, I thought it was clever! So, sit back, and let us fill your ears with talk of game system storage, along with some good music from local bands!

Good day, my friends! As we are building up to Gen Con 50, I want to put focus on locals who are making games, and great gaming gear, all year ’round! In this special episode of the Indiana Geeking Podcast, I had the opportunity to sit down with Mike Finkelstein of Dodeca System Games, a local game studio that has put out great stuff like Hipster: The Card Game and There is a Game in this Book! In addition, he’s a really cool Geek, a definite cinema fan, and we do get off topic just a bit, talking about our various forms of Geekery, and just having fun. I will definitely have him on again! In addition, we welcome a new sponsor to the podcast, play some Five Year Mission and Shake Ups, and generally have a great time over the course of the show! Make sure to listen to the entire thing, for a special message at the end!
