The D6 Generation

Stephen M. Buonocore joins Russ and Craig this time to discuss how to host a gaming party in your own home. Stephen is the co-owner of Stronghold Games, which was formed only 2 years ago, but has already made a big impact in the hobby game industry by publishing great reprints (such as “Survive!” and “Outpost”) as well as great new game designs (such as “Panic Station” and “Core Worlds”).

In episode 92 the third chair is filled by Randall Bills. Randall has worked in the Adventure Gaming industry for over 15 years. He's worked on such seminal properties as BattleTech and Shadowrun, while bringing other great universes to life, such as Cosmic Patrol and Leviathans.

A great game is published, but how and why should you expand it.  Join the guys as they examine the different ways games are grown.  Which method is best for which type of game?  

Later it's time to review Super Dungeon Explore from Cool Mini or Not and Soda Pop miniatures.  Does the world need yet another dungeon exploring game populated with Chibi's?  Let's find out...

Randall Bills joins Craig and Russ to discuss our favorite old geek/sci-fi shows and ask the question: Do our old favorites still hold up?

In episode 91 the third chair is filled by Ross Watson.  A gaming industry professional for over 10 years, Ross Watson has done work for Wizards of the Coast, Games Workshop, Fantasy Flight Games and now is a designer for video games.

First up, Ross, Craig, and Russ are joined by Teras of Geek Nation Tours to talk about Gaming Conventions. Why do we go to them?  What are the different kinds of conventions?  

Later the guys get a chance to interview Ed "Not the Lord of Winterfell" Stark.  Ed is true RPG luminary and we get his perspective on where RPG's have been, where they're going, and even the inside scoop on some of the D&D 3.5 to 4.0 design decisions.

Craig, Russ, and special guest Ross Watson present an RPG primer.  How do they work, how have they evolved, and what do you need to play?

The time we all knew would come, but pretended would never arrive: Raef's last episode as a host.  Russ and Craig, with the help of the D6G listeners and Mr. Lipton, travel down memory lane with Hollywood and attempt to send him off in style.

And later.. enough with the mushy stuff, it's time for Pirates!!  The D6G team takes to the high seas with the latest Games Workshop board game modeling mega-box: Dreadfleet.

Russ and Craig discuss where the D6G has been over the years, how it has evolved, and how they're planning on handling the show in a "Post HD" world.

It's time to get furry, grab some cheese, wear a cloak, and enter the world of Mouseguard!  The D6G crew give a detailed review of this very flavorful RPG based on the beloved comic series.

But up first, it's time for another mulling mechanics.  What are the latest crop of mechanics that Raef, Craig, and Russ are finding similar across game systems?

In this Lost Chapter Craig and Russ discuss games and other things that we should like as geeks and gamers but don't.

Wizkids is wasting no time with their Star Trek license.  Their second Star Trek game in as many years promises exploration, discovery, and combat as fleets from the Federation and Klingon Empire face off.  Does the game deliver?  The D6G crew takes a close look in a detailed review.

But first, Raef had a chance to chat with a few different folks from various game companies at GenCon this year.  He shares his notes and expeirences as well as a live interview with the folks behind the roleplaying game Mouseguard.
