In this episode, Thomas brings in Matt, Courtney, and John; a few friends from the Savage Worlds RPG that he’s been playing for the past few months. They all discuss some memorable events from the campaign and why they like role-playing in Savage Worlds. (Host’s note: Our friend Richard does not smell of fish!)

My guests this week are Bob and Ryan Craig of One Day West Games to talk about their game, Monster Highway, going live on Kickstarter on Jan 15.

In this episode, Thomas and Al talk about board games with apps, both as an assistant and as an integral part of the gaming experience. We talk about how and when the mix of digital and physical mediums complements one another. We also consider why some people may be hesitant to embrace such a thing. Hey, you got your app in my board game! Well, you got your board game in my app! It’s the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups of gaming. Does technology have a place in hobby gaming or never the two shall meet?

The discussion continues with this episode’s guest, Seth Locke of FatNastyNerd Runthroughs YouTube channel. He also talks about his experiences as a content creator and what he’s learned in the past 3+ years.

Happy New Year! In this episode, Thomas and Al gaze into their crystal ball to talk about what games they are salivating for in 2018. Albeit this is only taking into consideration what has actually been announced for a 2018 release, so your mileage may vary. You can probably consider this a Pre GenCon List. Once the games are announced for the later half of the year for next holiday season, you can expect a Part 2 or Post Gen Con List of Most Anticipated Games from us then.

Thom also takes some time to reflect on the past year – or more specifically the past 8 months – of the podcast and where it has come and where I hope it can go in 2018. Not so much a New Years Resolution thing but rather a verbal contract to our listeners of what the road map looks like right now. If you have any ideas or suggestions, please reach out to us via any of our social media pages (links at the website).

Thank you all for a great 2017 and all your help and support. I’m glad that there is an audience out there for my particular style of infotainment. Kudos to all of you for walking on this adventure with me. As I said on the “pre-episode”, it will improve and evolve with time.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What are you looking forward to playing in 2018?
