Join us for the third episode of our fledgling podcast about all things card gamey, board gamey and role-playing gamey. This month, we talk about Ashes organised play, casual board games you can play with ‘The Normals’, and how to send your bank balance plummeting to terrifying depths with the X-Wing Miniatures game.

We also cover the whole ‘getting back into Netrunner’ thing, livestreaming video on Facebook, and the ‘story’ in Race for the Galaxy (apparently there is one).

The difficult second episode where we overcome our creative differences, but can’t quite agree on whether Star Wars LCG is thematically appropriate enough.

We manage to stick closer to our hour target, but Joe just couldn’t edit out some of the interesting commentary on Ashes: Rise of the Pheonixborn. If your interest has been piqued by hints of that game in Episode 1, or seeing it played somewhere, then this episode is for you. We cover who might like it, why they might like it and touch on some of the ways to develop decks from the pre-constructed ones in the Core Set.

That comes after we talk a little about what we’ve been up to in the last month and where you can get some games in around the Steel City!

We did it! This is our inaugural episode, in which we introduce ourselves and tell you all about our reason for existing. Paul leads the show, and ponders who has the most annoying voice, while Joe mangles the news, and Scott talks about how bath time helps him play card games better.

We also look into some ways people in our local Netrunner meta have been helping and encouraging new players, and we explore the concept of pre-constructed deck tournaments across a range of card games.

The show finishes with a call for contributions to a Fiasco playset, based on Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight.
