Ep 095: Dune/Root GenCon Impressions Aug 13, 2019

Show notes

While at GenCon, we had the opportunity to sit down with designers Bill Eberle of Dune and Patrick Leder of Root. We spoke with them about their upcoming releases and about the ways fans interact with their games. We also got to see Dune played and have been playing a fair amount of Root ourselves, and in this episode you’ll hear our first impressions on both games.

Ep 094: GenCon 2019 Live Show Aug 06, 2019

Show notes

THIS EPISODE OF SCPT IS RATED PG-13 FOR SUGGESTIVE CONTENT AND LANGUAGE.

We finally had our first LIVE SHOW! This was our event held at GenCon 2019, where we played the archaic Twilight Imperium RPG (which is quite bad). We were joined by fellow Portland comedian Steven Wilber and member of the RPG group Rat Queens, Jessica Lynn Verdi! This was an incredible experience that we look forward to doing more of in the future.

Ep 087: Promissory Notes Part 1 Jun 18, 2019

Show notes

The Galactic Council has another great pick for you this month: Promissory Notes. These little things are something we notoriously had trouble analyzing early on in TI4, but now that we’ve had some time to sit with them, we’re starting to feel more confident with how to use them. There’s a LOT of meta-meat on these bones, so it’s not all going to fit in one episode!
