Earthborne Rangers is the debut expandable card game from Earthborne Games, a 1-4 player cooperative adventure in a futuristic, naturalistic sci-fi setting. Project lead Andrew Navarro and designer Andrew Fisher join the show to answer some tough questions about the project - How does the game actually play? Where are the gameplay videos? What do you mean by "no winning or losing?" How does it relate to other LCG? Big shout out to the One Stop Coop Shop community on Discord for helping craft good questions. Please find a link to our community in the description below.

Tanya Pobuda, social scientist extraordinaire, joins Jason to break down current board gaming demographics - who is playing vs. who is making the games, what our box covers look like, and much more. Every discussion of inclusion and diversity should be grounded in hard data, which we discuss here.

Dan Thurot the Space-Biff returns to the show to continue our critical reflection of what we are doing as board gaming media and content creators. In this episode, we take a deeper look at board game previews. We all know the epithets - hype train, cult of the new, etc. Yet, Dan and I both engage in preview content. We examine our approach and our desire to maintain healthy relationships with ourselves, publishers, and our audience.

The Space-Biff, Dan Thurot, stops by the show to chat about... what in the world are we doing! We discuss the concept of "content creation", both in terms of its largely negative roots and how it has been appropriated and used by today's board game media creators. We also discuss related topics like meaningfulness, burnout, discovery, and others that have relevance for the human beings that make the board gaming media we all enjoy.
