Lance sits down with noted boardgame reviewer Forrest Bower to talk about how the world of tabletop media has changed in the last 5 years.

We see retail branding everywhere we go, but how does branding come about? How does a company get a positive brand associated with it? How does one get a negative one? What are some of the prevalent brands within the boardgame industry today?  These are some of the questions Lance and Michael try to address and answer in this weeks podcast.

Rick Schrand is the Sales and Marketing director of Tasty Minstrel Games. He and Lance Myxter recently attended Dice Tower Con in Florida and had a great time - the convention is large enough that there is a fun and exciting atmosphere with plenty to do, but it is still small enough that you don't get lost in the shuffle. Listen in to hear more!

Hot off the always exciting Summer Steam Sale, I corner Michael and make him talk to me about the future of digital boardgames.

We heard from the president of the company last week, now let's hear from Seth as he talks about Origins, testing out new games, and his upcoming game, Crusaders: Thy Will Be Done.

I got Daniel Hadlock, President of TMG, to take some time to talk about Origins Game Fair - what it is like to attend the convention, what it is like to be a vendor, and the overall feel of the Con.

Michael Mindes, founder and CEO of Tasty Minstrel Games, loves to travel to Japan.  I get him to talk about what he likes, about Tokyo Game Market, and why it is important to the gaming industry.

With Origins right around the corner, Michael and I sit down to talk about conventions - both in general, and what they mean to publishers and what we think will happen with them in the future.

(My apologies for my puppy getting excited in the background. She saw ducks in my backyard.)

I have known Seth for a long time, so I convinced him to sit down with me and tell me how he got into designing games and what led him to be a founder of a board game company.

In this episode, Michael Mindes and I sit down and talk about MAPP pricing and what effects it is having, and might have, on the boardgame industry.
