  • The Mega Meeple Podcast – Episode 048 – Alpha Players (w/ guest Jonathan Gilmour – Dinosaur Island)
    In this episode, Thomas rants about alpha players at the gaming table. There’s a difference between someone guiding another player to learn the game and a person that tells another player what to do. One helps, the other dictates.
    My guest this episode is Jonathan Gilmour that is here to talk about another island. This one doesn’t have fireballs but it does have dinosaurs. Check out the successful Kickstarter of Dinosaur Island (including Duelosaur Island).
    QUESTION OF THE WEEK: How do you deal with alpha players? Are you an Alpha player? If so, why are you like that?

  • The Mega Meeple Podcast – Episode 047 – Return On Investment (w/ guest Rob Daviau – Fireball Island)
    In this episode, Thomas rants about people’s comments on Kickstarter. Some people just can’t handle disappointments nor do they grasp the reality that the world doesn’t revolve around their expectations. Kickstarter is not a store; it is an avenue to invest in projects. Any investor will tell you that you don’t invest your money if you’re not prepared to lose it.
    QUESTION OF THE WEEK: Have you ever been disappointed in a Kickstarter project you invested in?
    Leave your comment below or post on any of our social media pages.
    Our guest this episode is Rob Daviau talking about the most requested game reboot by Restoration Games, Fireball Island. Rob talks about how the game was reimagined and some of the expansions they have planned for it. Thom also apologizes for poo-poo-ing Stop Thief!

  • The Mega Meeple Podcast – Episode 046 – Shelf Of Shame (w/ guest Bjorn Torstensson of ListIt)
    In this episode, Thomas talks about his Shelf of Shame. Games that he bought with every intention of playing but for some reason has never gotten to the gaming table. Perhaps it’s because he hasn’t had the time or the group of people that were interested in learning a new game. Maybe it’s because he used to play and enjoy the game a lot way back when he first got it but now it has been demoted in favor of newer and more exciting games. Sometimes it’s a game that just left a bad taste or experience and he’s waiting in hopes to rekindle that love again in the future.
    QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What games are on your Shelf Of Shame and why?

    Our guest this episode is Bjorn Torstensson talking about ListIt, a successful group game that just recently finished up on Kickstarter. Did you ever wonder what your friends ‘really think about things? This hilarious party game will reveal all.
