TGT On Topic 270: Bad Players Jan 18, 2022

Show notes

This week Fletcher is on his honeymoon, but Kitty is back (with a slightly raspier voice). So while Fletcher is away, Chris and Kitty talk about bad players. Pure coincidence. So what is a bad player? Can it be fun to be a bad player? And do we have fun playing with or against bad players? All that and a banter section that lasts about 15 minutes and covers all kinds of going ons. Join our discord!

TGT On Topic 269: Lego Part 1 Jan 11, 2022

Show notes

We didn't know it was going to be a part 1 at first, but we soon realized we weren't doing this topic justice in just one episode, so there will be a followup. Maybe next week, maybe next month, probably next week. But for this episode Kitty is out and Chris and Fletcher talk about Lego and how they relate to gaming, but mostly about Lego in general. Chris may have developed a new addiction... Join our discord! Just click (or copy/paste) here: https://discord.gg/phjS78TKch Email feedback and contest entries to feedback [at] tabletopgametalk.com.

TGT On Topic 263: Rewriting Game rules Nov 16, 2021

Show notes

This week Chris and Fletcher are alone again as they talk about rewriting the rules to games. That could mean rewriting a whole rulebook to make it clearer, writing rules summaries, modifying the game with your own rules, or even making up an entirely new game with the components of a game you didn't find all that great to start with. Speaking of rewriting rules, check out www.orderofgamers.com for some amazing rules summarizes. If you want to enter our 2021 giveaway, details are below.
