Episode 44: Friends of the Show - Come Out of the Cold and DIVE DIVE DIVE! - Andy Benford Feb 08, 2017

Show notes

Richard is joined by Andy Benford, who after serving in the Navy on various Submarines for twenty one years, took a game idea that he developed originally in the 1970s and worked with Osprey Games to make it a reality in the form of They Come Unseen. It's a rare thing indeed that a designer takes their real world experiences and places it into their boardgame. Andy's story is fascinating from the very beginning from the original idea to the final product. He was a total delightful guest and we loved having him on the show.

Richard is delighted to be joined by Brad Talton Jnr, who runs Level 99 Games and has brought such delights to the table such as Battlecon and Pixel Tactics. We talk about how Brad got into the hobby before dicussing more about Pixel Tactics, Battlecon and others in the Level99 Games back catalogue and chatting about Seventh Cross, which will come to Kickstarter in the Autumn. Brad also helps answer Niki's (Lost Panda's) Battlecon Questions and we talk dining room boardgame etiquette. Richard does an awful Fight Intro soundbite as well. We were honoured to have him as a guest and hope you enjoy the episode.

Episode 36: Work in Progress - Jamey Stegmaier from Stonemaier Games Jan 13, 2017

Show notes

Our first recording session of 2017 is with the very wonderful Jamey Stegmaier of Stonemaier Games. We talk about what games influenced him as he was growing up and then chat about Viticulture, Euphoria and some other game about big robots and resource that you might of heard of. He also talks about his new project Charterstone, which will not be hitting kickstarter, despite Richard's awful KS references. Additional questions were provided by the wonderful @S0nicH Andy Lewis from Polyhedron Collider. Jamey as you can expect was a fantastic guest, very interesting and a real inspiration in the industry.

Show notes

Richard recorded a special show with Neil from Spartan Games just before Christmas. We spoke about how he got into the hobby, what you do with a quarter of a million soldiers, avoiding Strictly Come Dancing, and how Neil got into the hobby, as well as how does one get the rights to produce a game from a very famous videogame IP.
