Mistakes were made

Or... is it the annual episode? I don't want to spoil anything. We totally talk about that topic. DAMNIT! Spoiled it.

Here are some other spoilers!

Rudy and Al made it to 5 games played with all owned masters.

Rudy and Al's last game with each last master was AGAINST EACH OTHER! That was pretty rad.

We wax poetic about how we're going to turn the "H" part of "Hag" into a blog so we can stop doing it. One day, maybe we'll follow through! STAY TUNED!

We talk Wyrd Black Friday, and some other interesting announcements. Tournaments, henchman stuff... the like.

FINALLY! We do part two of our four part series, "What to Expect when you're expecting..." to face the guild and the arcanists. Bust episode! Strap in! Enjoy! Mistakes....... were made.

We're back!

Okay, Phoenix may be a little hyperbolic, but you know what. It's good to be back.

We talk about our new H-less H.A.G. We haven't setup the blog yet... >.

This one we all have a slew of games against Tara.

Only half kidding!

Al Starts his descent into madness. Or at least despair. He's playing Pandora. That's what I'm trying to get at.

Rudy finishes off the Gremlins and the Ressurs strong with two games of ophelia and a game of Molly.That leave him primarily focusing on the Thunders and only the Thunders.

Ken..... LIVES! He is officially here. and officially. His twitter handle even changed! I didn't even ask him to do that! HE JUST DID! http://We also introduce a new segment that we blatantly ripped off then tweaked slightly called "the Lightning Round!" (Thunder noise). Basically, we do a fast paced Before we Begin type game setup (though no board...). A deployment, a strat, and a set of schemes, and our given faction and the declared faction of the opponent. Then (in a short amount of time) we talk about what we would probably do master and crew wise in a tournament setting. (Meaning, basically, Bodyguard came up. And while I might've done it in a normal game, I wouldn't necessarily in a tournament... Anyways...)

LIGHTING ROUND! If you like the lightning round, let us know. We can tag s'more in.

Ken's a part of the show!Ken's super excited to join us today!Ken has a fever and has to bow out.

... C'mon! Okay, maybe next week we do an extra ep and talk about something where he can join in and stuff. WHO KNOWS. Maybe his sickness is your gain or something.

Luckily, he has plenty of time to rest.

Al and Rudy talk about some general games and stuff- Al went to Gencon! He had a blast. Rudy went to Beerlifaux and FNM, and finished off two masters, and one faction. Gettin' close y'all. Real close.

It's a pretty simple ep this week- we'll try and start getting some specific style tacticool content in the coming weeks as we welcome Ken officially into the fold.

Al and Rudy are joined by top players, Dan Johnson and Ted Prodromou. (I think I spelled that right. Johnson?)

We talk through the 12 person event we had last weekend in Vancouver WA. It was a blast- we had some seriously strong competition and games. A real blast.

Al tells us he's got a gag order and can't tell us about the one game he got to play. Understandable, it will be heard in depth at:

http://beforewebegin.podbean.com/Ted also has a podcast! Or, he's on a podcast? Both, I think...http://awpp.podbean.com/

We also talk about a bunch of other podcasters!Dan Miner's: http://www.fauxshow.ca/Josh Cal: http://www.throughthebreach.com/

Tune in and list to us blather on about our games last week. And while I don't say it on the cast itself, I'VE CLOSED OUT GUILD. Two factions down. The rest should be following pretty quickly.

Rudy out!

This is the one where we do a cross over with Joe and Adam of Cheated Fates!

It's been a long time in the works.

K, that's a lie. We've been talking about being excited about Gencon release stuff. We thought, with it being so close, that today would be the day they released the master-list. We scheduled it, then Wyrd sent us the head fake with the Brotherhood of the Rat, we panicked a touch, but they came through for us after all! So we basically decided it was up to use to come together to talk about all the things we want to by. To try and expel the hypeness and maybe get ourselves to a place where we could logically and reasonably go through our individual budgets and figure out what were the must buys.

So! Sit back and enjoy four geeks getting way to excited about plastic toys they probably can't afford, and spend some time on your own figuring this all out. 

And remember when you don't have time to make a mistake, listen to cheated fates radio. Or something like that.

Link to the Newsleter for the rest of it:NEWSLETTER (Contains the hypeness)Note- the site might be pretty slow. It's been a little busy lately. Trying to contain it. They hypeness that is.

Al and Rudy talk about their HGA. H'gaaaahhh... Higuuuaaaahhh. Hugaaaagghhh....... Sorry about that. Hga. We talk about it in a weird order 'cause we have a couple pretty cool announcements. It's not even, like, "sometime in the future" kind of announcements Well- one is, two are not... Well- I don't want to spoil them for you. You'll just have to read it yourself. I mean... listen. To the podcast.

We also broach a subject that's been on my mind..... basically forever. The subject of competitive play. How can you play like a champion when you're afraid of hurting feelings. How can you pick a strong list when you're brain actually tells you that the list is too strong?! TELL ME! We discuss it, and will likely continue to discuss it.

Finally, and this is a spoiler for one of the announcements, but I said I'd put it in the show notes...

Rudy

Rudy road tripped 20 hours, and now he's back and ready to report on Califaux. 

Al finally declares gremlins, but will he do it again. (Probably it is a league it would be rude to switch now.)

Henchman Hardcore - Yeah we got thatGaining Grounds - CheckGuild talk- Definitely 

Gremlins -  Checktourney report -  CheckBeer -  YepCrooligans- ...

Labeled part one because some day, Al will have an arcanasode, not because I talked for so long it needed to get split up into two part...

Wait. I'm getting ahead of myself.

I finished my first faction! I had a game with Kaeris, it was my last with her, and my last to five with the arcanists! That means... progress? I think? It's one of my two bigger factions, so I feel pretty good about having it knocked out. Unfortunately, my other big faction is the big hurdle that's left! 

We talk the H.A.G., events we're going to, perhaps we'll see you there?! WHO KNOWS! You do. Because you know if you'll be at the event we'll be at. There's no possible way for us to know your schedule. But you'll know ours... so...... yeah. That follows, right?

So tonight, we do our regular jabbering, and I talk about how I've loved declaring Colette-.... I mean..... Arcanists!
