On Aug 16th, I live streamed recording a portion of the latest Rahdo Talks Through podcast and a new episode of crowd sorcery. But in addition to that I did a big game unboxing and a fair bit of chitchat with the crowd, and this audio file is all of that extra chitchat! :)

Only 5 new games to talk about closing in the next few weeks on crowdfunding platforms, which is ironic as this is episode 5 of Crowd Sorcery, the audio edition! :)

Hey everybody, this week Ruel and I had some fun live streaming Citytrip Brugge for an hour, but we also spent an hour or so chatting, talking Gencon, behind the scenes stuff, etc. So I figured I'd take just those bits (not the runthrough and final thoughts) and post them on the podcast channel! :)
