Brant is joined by industry veterans Chris Pramas and Ross Thompson to talk about pathways into working in the tabletop game industry.

The Tabletop Game Jobs group is here (it’s public) and the Tabletop Game Job Talents group is here (it’s not).  They’re both on Facebook, so if you’re not on there, you might not be able to see much.

Also, as noted around the 53:00 minute mark, here’s the survey question about “how did you learn to play D&D”

Brant is joined by Dr James Sterrett and Jan Heinemann to revisit & update our earlier discussion way back in season 2 on The Essential Wargaming Library. In the past 5-6 years2 there’s been a veritable explosion of full-length, serious books about wargaming and those interested in these titles are now filling up a second shelf with them, instead of having room for fancy bookends and tchotchkes around the limited selection of wargaming tomes.
