365: The North American Intergalactical Aug 21, 2024

Show notes

The Galactical Council is still letting us cool down a bit from GenCon and some travel that followed, so this week we're taking it easy and letting you in on the big project we have planned for NEXT year. We want to host a series of North American Twilight Imperium events IN PERSON. We've been teasing this for a while, but 2025 finally feels like the year we can make it happen. We want 6 tournaments around the US and Canada that all play into one Championship match, and we want to put as much effort in as we can to bringing those games to the global audience! We'll film the 6 semi-final matches in each of the different cities, as well as the Championship for your viewing pleasure! Tune in for more info!!

Show notes

We're back with more of our Gen-Con coverage from this year. We've got two excellent conversations with wonderful people talking about new games. First up we have Nick Brachmann talking about his new game Swarm! It's heavily inspired by Pikmin and we're very excited for the potential future fun. Following that we have the thing you really waiting for, our first conversation about the new Root Expansion with Joshua Yearsley. It sounds wild y'all.

363: GenCon 2024 Live Show(s) Aug 07, 2024

Show notes

This episode is not for the faint of heart! It is actually BOTH OGA and SCPT segments of the back-to-back live shows held at the Helium Comedy Club in Indianapolis, IN during the week of GenCon. Special guests Anica Cihla (https://x.com/anicacihla) and Jake Michels (https://woodlandwarmachine.podbean.com/) join us to improvise some game designs, and EJ Sanders joins us to read your board gaming horror stories. There are swears words and much much worse in this episode, so please don't listen to this with your family.

Hunter's out on tour this week which means Matt needed a new friend! Good for him he works with some pretty cool folks, including Nick Brachmann! Nick is a Senior Developer at Leder Games and is responsible for the upcoming Ahoy: New Horizons expansion. It more than doubles what is possible in Ahoy and Matt has been playing a lot of it recently. Let's talk game development, creativity, and fostering strategic depth! Also MAPS.
