Tabletop Game Talk

This week we talk about about fun.  And playing for it.  Really what we're talking about are those games where the focus isn't really winning or losing, but how much fun you are having playing the game.  But first we do some announcements (including the winner of Shadespire and our next giveaway) and talk about Kickstarters.
