We’re all mad this week as the Dice Men attempt to climb and then escape from a Mountain of Madness thanks to fiendish designer Rob Daviau. And even if you didn’t want to know, it’s Leons birthday and he’s going have a party full of games and beer and beer and games, would you like to know more? And we wrap up this week with the tiniest of games in Deep Sea Adventure and A Game of Thrones: Hand of the King. So many games!! And for that we thank Area 52 as always!

If you thought the Dice Men we’re done with D&D, you are so wrong it’s not funny! We don’t even talk about what we’ve been playing this week as we have a special guest who runs D&D sessions with primary school kids for fun and so much more! Can you imagine running a session with a group of 12 ten year old kids? This special guest is very brave. Or stupid. Or maybe both. Yes, we are thanking Area 52 again, but only because we love them!

It’s true, we can’t take the sky from you, but we certainly CAN take away nearly an hour of your life, as this week the Dice Men talk about Legendary Encounters: A Firefly Deck Building Game and how it compares to the many other Legendary offerings. We also look back 10 years to 2008 and discuss the amazing games that came out then (seriously, you should take a look!) and then Leon fills all of us in about the latest Werewolf night the Silver Bullet Society hosted at our FLGS Area 52!

So here it is, episode 200! What kind of intro can we say that you haven’t already heard before? Yes, we talk about what we’ve been playing lately (that’s Martin Wallace’s AuZtralia), yes we talk about games that might be the new classics, yes Leon wants everything to be big, and yes Mark wants you to spend money on Kickstarter. Normally that would be too much for one episode, but not this one as it is 2 hours long!!! Or nearly two hours once we remove the songs for copyright reasons….200 bloody episodes, woo hoo!

We’ve never seen a diamond in the flesh, and we cut our teeth on wedding rings, not in the movies, but at the Gamer wedding of the year. We may never BE Royals, but we played it, and we’ll tell you why you should too. We also fill you in on all the glamorous details of the afore-mentioned wedding, as well as some Kickstarter updates and a bit of news.

We have finally found a game that none of the Dice Men agree on, as we discuss Ethnos, and why it has caused such a wide range of views amongst gamers.

Mark gives us a mega Kickstarter update, as the New Year brings in some awesome game campaigns.

We also give YOU a chance to be on air for our upcoming 200th Episode.
