In this Special 50thEpisode and 1 Year Anniversary (or is it Podcstiversary?) episode, Thomas looks back over the past year to humble beginnings and how far we’ve come. A big THANK YOU to all of our guests over the year for your time and contribution. A bigger THANK YOU to all our listeners and supporters for joining the ride and hanging in there while I explored my niche in the wide sea of board game content creators.

Here’s to the Year Two and the next 50 episodes!

In this episode, Thomas talks about getting the Ultimate Table of Gaming Kickstarter and how it’s going to improve and increase the output of content on The Mega Meeple YouTube Channel. He also talks about plans for Year Two of the podcast. We’ve come a long way in one year and the momentum is just going to propel the show to even better things!

This episode’s guest is Artem Safarov talking about the successful game on Kickstarer, Unbroken. This is a strictly solo play game designed for solo players rather than a tacked on variant or afterthought.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What game should be the first one played on the new table?

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?

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?

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!

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?
