The D6 Generation

In Book 12 Raef, Craig, and Russ have a little book club review of "Wise Man's Fear." WARNING: Here be spoilers! Arrgh!

Someone on the show is a Trek fan... can you guess who?  When Star Trek: Expeditions hit the streets, the crew just had to review it.  Well, two of us did.  Does it do the series justice?

But up first: Hotness or Notness.  With Con season upon us, lots of new games are in the pipeline.  What are Russ, Craig, and Raef excited about, and what are they less than thrilled to see?

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

- The Hollywood Minute

- Total Fan Girl

- Do You Ever Notice

- & More

In book 11 we answer questions 'live' from Facebook and Twitter.  It's an interactive experience.

The mulling mechanics segment returns!  This time we examine "What Makes a Euro?"  The lines seem to be blurring these days.  Can Craig, Raef, and Russ clear things up?  Or will they just make it even more confusing?

But up first, we're excited to get a chance to interview Teras Cassidy of Geek Nation Tours to learn how he started a niche business helping geeks get where they want to go.

In book 10 Russ, Craig, & Raef spend free donut eve discussing when is a game's theme so too real and/or dark that it is tough to play.

Battletech!  A true classic that is near and dear to many gamer's hearts.  In episode 80 Raef, Russ, and Craig chat with Randall Bills, the man with more years on the Battletech project than he cares to admit.  Today Randall works for Catalyst Game Labs and he brings us up to speed on Battletech, Shadowrun, and Catalyst's new game universe, Leviathans.

After that, it's time to have fun storming the castle.  Stronghold blends euro mechanics with a war game theme: siege the castle!  Does this game appeal to all three hosts?

A lot of listeners ask us for book recomendations. In Book 9 the D6G team reviews their favorite Fantasy, Horror, and Supernatural books.

In Book 8 Ross Watson, RPG designer from Fantasy Flight Games, joins Russ and Raef as they discuss RPG philosophy. What is the best way to play an RPG? Or is there one?

Craig and Raef are back from Adepticon 2011 and report on all the fun times they had there without Russ.  Who claims he's not bitter.

Later, they guys mount up and give a detailed review of Carson City, the euro style board game with a wild west theme.  Did we mention there are cowboy meeples? 

Oh and Ep 78 also features the return of Words from Wales in which Owen gives his first impressions of Dwarf King's Hold from Mantic Games.
