Join me for play-by-web games? Nov 12, 2006

Show notes

I play a somewhat steady stream of play-by-web boardgames. If listeners want to join me, just pop over to one of thsoe sites and look for games called Boardgames To Go. On the sites that use passwords for games, I always try to use BGTG as the password to restrict the game to my podcast listeners. Right now I've got games of Reef Encounter and Through the Desert waiting for players.-Mark

BGTG 49 - Jan 21, 2006 - Five & Dime Lists (with Mark JACKson) Nov 12, 2006

Show notes

Though it's happening less often nowadays, in the past people have confused Mark Jackson and myself. Though that's mostly due to the similarity in our names, we have some similar tastes in games (e.g. original Entdecker), we've crossed paths a few times, and since Jackson moved here in 2003 we're both Californians. California is a big state, though, and we're not so close that we see each other

Help a brother out? Nov 12, 2006

Show notes

I'm raising some GeekGold so that my logo designer (and onetime BGTG guest) Greg Wilzbach can get an avatar on BoardgameGeek. A nice listener spontaneously donated some GG to me last week--which was very nice--and now I'm running one of those BGG auctions where the currency is GG. The game up for auction is Alan Moon's Slow Freight, the gamekit exclusive Funagain. It's still for sale on that site

BGTG 47 - Jan. 8, 2006 - Behind the Scenes at BGTG Nov 12, 2006

Show notes

This is more or less an update of the "intro to podcasting" show I did way back in May, 2005. It's especially intended for people who might start up their own boardgame podcast--whether they were thinking about it already or not! It might also be of some interest to general listeners of the show, who are curious how a podcast like this comes together. There's not much to it, really.-MarkLinksBGTG

BGTG 48 - Jan. 14, 2006 - Retrospective on 2005 Nov 12, 2006

Show notes

For a long time I've posted a retrospective on my past year in the hobby, first to rec.games.board, then spielfrieks, then my blog. This year, of course, I've shifted it over to a podcast episode. That's the first big shift. The other comes from not having kept track of my game stats last year. And yet . . . I still have things to say. :)-MarkP.S. As I mention in the show, the call-in number for

iTunes glitch Nov 12, 2006

Show notes

A little note for those of you who download this show in iTunes (and hopefully read the blog, too, or else you'll miss this). For some reason, iTunes refuses to list episode 46A in its listing, even though other podcatching software sees it correctly (it shows up in the feed). So if you missed the first, larger half of my latest Session Report & Feedback show--the part with the news & session

Ouch. Nov 12, 2006

Show notes

That hurt.

Fight on! Nov 12, 2006

Show notes

In about an hour my alma mater, the University of Southern California takes on the University of Texas for the college football national championship. But get this--Texas is also my alma mater! Yeah, my two colleges are ranked #1 and #2, facing each other in the storied Rose Bowl today for all the marbles. Am I conflicted? (Everyone asks.) No! Grad school was more like a job--undergrad was where

Vintage Gamer (new boardgame podcast) Nov 12, 2006

Show notes

Jam Van Verth has just started a new boardgame podcast. It's called The Vintage Gamer, and he intends to cover the older games that are forgotten while we all play the "shiny, new" ones. And by older, he doesn't mean 1998 . . . he means 1978. Or 1958! Something like that, anyway. By its nature I think he'll end up covering boardgames more than any other type of game, but he's also thinking about

BGTG 46a - January 2, 2006 - SR: Lots of games, and Feedback Nov 12, 2006

Show notes

Yea! I finally got to record a new podcast! I needed to do a fair bit of catching up, which meant the podcast got to be pretty long. With that in mind I split it into two parts. This is the first part, about an hour of me catching up for lost time and talking about some games I've been playing recently. The second part, which I'll post next, is the feedback segment.-MarkLinksBGTG Frappr
