June 22, 2021 06:53 - 1 hour - 53.5 MBThis week we're talking about story driven games. Those games that put story first and mechanics second (or maybe eliminate most mechanics altogether).

June 08, 2021 06:50 - 1 hour - 57.8 MBThis week Kitty and Chris are on their own as Fletcher didn't want to be around when Kickstarter came up.

We don't actually get into the future of crowdfunding as we promise at the beginning of the episode - but spoiler alert, it's only getting bigger.

TGT On Topic 216: 2020 Games
December 09, 2020 04:51 - 1 hour - 55.5 MBThe first rule about 2020 is that you shall not talk about 2020... or at least that's what it seems. Monday night Kitty's audio recorder corrupted her audio (and Chris didn't have a backup recording) so we had to re-record on Tuesday night. Tuesday night Fletcher's audio was all static for the first 20 minutes (but this time Chris learned from Monday and had a backup recording, but it's not as good as the primary recording). So Fletcher is going to sound a bit distance after the intro and ...

November 10, 2020 06:15 - 1 hour - 50.5 MBThis week we are NOT talking about the size of the box. No no, we're talking about the SIDE of it. Ok, we're really not talking about that either. What we're really talking about is the info the publisher puts on the box (often the side) for player count, time and age. What's up with that and why is it almost never right?
