Play Greater Podcast: Episode #33


Listen Later

We are absolutely thrilled to be back in your feeds so soon! We are still collectively getting used to this incredibly logical, completely unconfusing "both bi-weekly and bi-monthly" recording schedule, but more frequent episodes means we get to talk about way more things! Paul and I are having an absolute blast being back in the studio, and we hope you are enjoying the show as well!

In this episode, we tackle an eclectic mix of conventions, products, community spots, and semi-sensical banter.

In This Episode:
  • Gen Con 2026 is Calling: We are officially heading back to the big show! You can find us at Booth #2856. On air, we break down why 2856 is an incredibly easy number to remember for so many reasons. Mark it down on your maps!

  • GTG Products Galore: Do we have dozens of them? Potentially!

  • Trogdor! The Burninator?!: You'd better believe it.

  • The Standard Table URL Adventures Continue: A brief status report on our ongoing, bizarre domain redirection mystery. The quest to standardize your dining room table experiences remains noble but technically weird.

  • Local Spotlight: Pieces Board Game Cafe: If you are local to the St. Louis area or planning a trip, you need to visit our friends over at Pieces. They have exclusive, first-look copies of our upcoming games sitting right on their shelves! It's the perfect spot to grab a drink, roll some dice, and get an early sneak peek at what we've been printing.

  • Seismic Activity in the Philippines: A bit of unexpected tectonic trivia. Earthquakes in the region happen to be more frequent than most people realize. Also, the Philippines and the Mariana Trench ARE both located in the western Pacific Ocean, but about 1.5k miles apart... so not THAT close to each other.

  • The Great Geography Face-Off: A completely mutual roasting of regional knowledge. Yes, Americans are notoriously bad at mapping European borders, but we argue that Europeans are equally clueless when trying to parse American state geography. It's an ignorance stalemate!

  • The Boundaries of Discourse: A highly tactical look at what we can and cannot talk about versus what we will and will not talk about.

  • Sentinels of the Multiverse Updates: News on the reprint front for Definitive Edition products, alongside a quick discussion of errata plans.

  • Sentinel Comics RPG Plans: We lay out what our upcoming schedule looks like for the roleplaying game side of Sentinel Comics.

  • Defenders of the Realm: We talk about the game, the product, our crowdfunding plans, and what the future holds for this legendary fantasy title.

Naturally, a new episode means a new turn of the Wheel of Topics. We add new topics to the wheel before giving it a aggressive spin to see where fate lands us. The result is both surprising, and also entirely unsurprising.

We will be back in just a couple of weeks with another episode! In the meantime, we need your thoughts, design quandaries, and bizarre scenarios to keep the show fueled. Use our handy submission form to send us your letters: Submit Your Letters to the Play Greater Podcast Here!

Thank you so much for listening, sharing the show, and helping us bring this back to life!
