Any chance we have to put Doug in the hot-seat has to be a good episode, right? Well, if you wondered how Doug managed to screw up DVG’s development of Fulcrum Leader, this is the episode for you. With veteran game designer Roger Gerrish sharpening his knives, and the podcast’s own Steve Toth getting ready to dig in on design mistakes deeper than a tick on a hound - this episode might just break Doug’s outrageously overblown ego once and for all.

Can’t figure out what to buy for the gamer in your life? Or perhaps you don’t know what to ask your Hobby Secret Santa for? Wait, who are we kidding, Grognards wouldn’t participate in a Secret Santa! They’d be more likely to run a Secret Hobby Krampus circle! (or is it a pentagram?)
