In this episode, Thomas and Al talk about games that would be good for date nights or couples. Odd, considering neither Thom or Al has been on a date for years, but hey, that hasn’t stopped us before.

Our guest this episode is calling in all the way from Norway, so Petter Olsen holds the record as the farthest distance guest on the show. Petter joins the Mega Meeple to talk about his epic Roman Empire game that will be launched on Kickstarter this Tuesday Feb 20. Check it out and spread the word.

In this episode, Thomas rants about the pink elephant at the gaming table: misogyny and exclusivity against women in gaming. The first step in solving a problem is being aware that the problem exists and working together to solve it. The Mega Meeple is not shy when talking about some of the serious issues in our hobby.

Thomas has two very special guests to help tackle this subject: Brittanie Boe and Mandi Hutchinson. Both have a wealth of insight about how we as gamers can be proactive and bring change and solutions to this problem.

Share this episode with your gamer friends. There is strength in numbers and the more people aware of what can happen in your gaming circles, the more people being a part of the solution and NOT part of the problem! Thank you.
