The D6 Generation

Eric Johns joins Craig and Russ in the third Chair. Eric is one of the big cheeses over at Wyrd miniatures, the miniature gaming company responsible for Malifaux, Puppet Wars, and more nightmarish creatures then we'd care to think about.

Since Wyrd just made the jump to plastics, we figured Eric would be a great person to help us get insight into how plastic models are made, and how this process differs from metals.

Later, we discover that Eric actually plays quite a few digital games, so he and Russ talk about their favorite easy to pick up and play digital games.

All that and our other not-too-horrible segments including:

Raef "Hollywood" Granger guests with Russ and Craig to discuss geeky things they like that they feel guilty about.

This time the third chair is filled with 80 folks as the GenCon 2012 play by mob audience join us for the show!

First we play the upcoming Stronghold Games "Space Cadets" but "Mob style" with the help of Geoff Engelstein & his family. Can that many players take control of starships and battle it out in any kind of organazed way? Listen to find out.

Later Craig and Russ chat about two of their favorite purchases at GenCon this year: Evil Baby Orphanage from Wyrd Miniatures and Star Wars X-Wing from Fantasy Flight Games. S-foils have been locked in attack position as they dive in for a detailed review of both games.

Special extended edition! A Deathwatch Warhammer 40,000 RPG session lead by designer Ross Watson featuring Russ, Craig, and a cast of other podcast hosts.  Recorded live at GenCon 2012.

Norbert Brunhuber, dedicated Warmachine Player and Privateer Press Ganger, joins Russ and Craig in the third chair.

Norbert has recently moved from the US to the UK. Now that he's settled in and found some gaming 'mates' we thought it would be fun to catch up with him and discuss just how different is the miniature gaming scene across the pond?

Later we decide to tackle three recent miniature gaming supplements. The new Warmachine Colossals book, the new Dust Warfare Zverograd book, and the new digital gaming aid War Room recently released by Privateer Press for Warmachine/Hordes.

Dedicated miniature war gamer and recent US to UK transplant Norbert Brunhuber joins Russ and Craig to discuss what attracts us to new miniature war games like Dropzone Commander and Bushido and what keeps us interested.

Jon "Yakface" Regul joins Craig and Russ in the third chair. Jon runs the massive miniature gaming community DakkaDakka.com, has been playing WH40k for more years than he cares to remember, and is responsible for the INAT FAQ: The official independant Warhammer 40,000 FAQ used at major tournaments like Adepticon.

With this much 40k knowledge in one chair, we just had to devote this entire Megasode to Warhammer 40,000. First we cover 40k through the years. How has is changed from edition to edition. What did it used to be like, and where is it now?

Then we jump into 6th edition with both feet. What's new, what's changed, and how will it impact the wide variety of gamers who love this game.
