We’re back from our summer break with Season 2, flying casual and somewhat overwhelmed with the post Gencon flood of gaming stuff. Brian and Chris get together in the studio for the first time in nearly ten weeks and cover a wide variety of new games, gaming play, system free games, the small press price point, and some ashcans.

Retraction: Our comments about the numbers on Pinnacle Entertainment’s Savage Worlds Explorer Edition were off. As it turns out, they have plenty in stock and the issues retailers are having are because Distributors have severely underestimated demand, not Pinnacle. Our apologies!
