The D6 Generation

Episode 30 brings us back to Warmachine. The D6G team has had a chance to play a few games with the Mark II playtest rules and we analyze what the changes are along with what Privateer Press is trying to accomplish.  Are these the kind of things other game companies should do?

But first, our listeners have really stepped up to the plate with some very creative betrayal contest entries.  Join us as we listen along and have a laugh, as well as award some prizes. 

All that and our usual 'not too horrible' humor, with features such as:

Episode 29 is massive. We just had so much to squeeze in.  But if it helps, think of it this way.: The D6 Generation is not a 4 hour show released every two weeks.  It’s really just a two hour weekly show released bi-weekly.   :-)

In this episode we interview Curt Covert, the man behind Smirk and Dagger games and creator of Cutthroat caverns.  Curt gives us a lot of great insight into what it takes to start a game company and some of the pitfalls one should try and avoid.  Later in the show we dive into the details of Cutthroat Caverns and give an in depth review of the game.

Episode 28 turned into another mega show while we weren't looking.  We start off with an interview with comic book artist Scott Wegner and talk about how he got into the industry as well as his hit comic series "Atomic Robo." 

After Scott we dive into two reviews.  First the western themed card game Bang! and then the Warhammer 40,000 based computer game Dawn of War II.

[Technical Note: There was an audio issue during rapid fire this week.  For the first couple questions you can't hear Raef or Norbert's responses.  This is corrected about half way through Rapid fire.  The rest of the show is fine.  Well, as fine as it normally is. ;-) ]

In episode 27 we interview Dr. Norbert Brunhuber, Warmachine tourney veteran, and get his thoughts on charity gaming.  Specifically the Foodmachine drives.

Later we examine the question "Is Privateer Press jumping the shark?"  New plastic models, a complete reboot of the rules announced with Warmachine Mark II?  Are they heading down a risky path?

In Episode 23 is a megasode!  It's been a couple shows since the full D6G team was togeather, so we wanted to give our listeners added value with a long show.

Later we do a detailed review of the unique game "Galaxy Trucker" from Rio Grande games.

Craig is out of town, and we've got crazy holiday and vacation stuff going on all around us, so Episode 23 had to be delayed.

But, we didn't want you to start off the New Year with out at least SOME D6G to listen to, so here's a bonus episode.

This doesn't have all the usual segments of a regualar episode, but we did manage to slip in a little bit of content:

Raef & Russ 'a Ramblin:

- Gamer Tech

- Russ vs the Cable company

- Raef's vid game woes

- How NOT to teach a board game

When Wives Attack
