TGT 120 On Topic: Organized Play

December 04, 2018 11:00 - 1 hour - 51 MB

This week Chris, Kitty, Spencer, and Sydnie talk about organized play. From game stores to conventions, RPGs to CCGs, casual to competitive, we cover it all (and miss a lot more). We even go on a few tangents brainstorming ways to use legacy games for organized play...

TGT 119 On Topic: KeyForge

November 27, 2018 11:00 - 1 hour - 53.1 MB

This week we talk about KeyForge, a "unique" new game from Fantasy Flight Games. Chris is a bit obsessed with it, so of course we have to do full episode on it. But in his defense, it really is a good game and maybe the birth of a new type of game? You can follow and/or support us with these links: Email us at [email protected] - for questions and feedback.

TGT 117 On Topic: Gaming With Strangers

November 13, 2018 11:00 - 58 minutes - 46.7 MB

We're back from GameHoleCon and Sydnie and Spencer join us to talk about their experiences gaming with people they've never met before.  We cover a lot in a short amount of time, from that quiet player, to inclusiveness, to why it can be the most amazing thing ever to game with new people (it's why we're all friends and why Chris will be a father in 3 months).  Oh, and thank you Tim, Michael, Steve, and Kelly (and everyone else we talked with) for the amazing gifts and great experiences. You...

TGT 116 On Topic: Promos and Exclusives

November 06, 2018 11:00 - 55 minutes - 44.6 MB

This week Josh, Kitty, and Chris are back together to talk about promos and exclusives in board gaming.  How do they effect the way we buy and play games?  Are you like Chris who needs everything for his favorite games or like Josh who has nearly no interest at all?  Or maybe you're like Kitty sitting somewhere in the middle.  Maybe Tabletop Game Talk needs some game promos, what games should we try and sneak ourselves into?

October 16, 2018 11:00 - 1 hour - 56.1 MB

We love your feedback, and we have lots of it this week. Much of it is on Managing Your Collection. But we have a fair bit on Cheating and Complicated games as well.

TGT 111 On Topic: Complicated Games

October 02, 2018 11:00 - 1 hour - 49.4 MB

It's complicated, the game, the game is complicated. But what makes it complicated and why are some people drawn to complicated games while others avoid them like the plague?  It's certainly a sliding scale and not an easy subject to cover. One might even say, it's complicated. Ok, ok, that's the last time I'll type complicated (ok, that was one more time). But we do end up saying it a lot as well...

TGT 110 On Topic: Managing Your Collection

September 25, 2018 11:00 - 1 hour - 48.8 MB

This week we take a look at managing your collection from all sides. What games should you add? What games should you get rid of? How and where should you store them? When you only have a few games, these can be easy questions to answer. But...we all...end up with...too many games...!!! (Ok, maybe not everyone, but still.)

TGT 109 On Topic: Cheating

September 18, 2018 11:00 - 1 hour - 52.6 MB

Cheating. Seems simple enough, don't do it. But we manage to make it complicated enough to take up a whole hour. And if we do say so ourselves, it was an interesting hour. For those that follow along on the bgg thread (that's http://TabletopGameTalk.com/bgg) you won't find an input thread for this one. Chris comes up with some excuses as to why, but really, he just forgot until it was too late. A short interesting article on cheating (that we mention early on): https://mindtheethos.com/2016/...

TGT 108 On Topic: Generic Older Alpha Player Feedback

September 11, 2018 11:00 - 1 hour - 50.7 MB

We love your feedback, and in this episode we focus on it. We start with some general feedback but we eventually get into you opinions on generic themes, playing older games you've missed, and alpha players in co-ops. And oh wow do you have opinions on alpha players. No worries though, no alpha players were, physically, hurt in the making of this episode. Emotionally though, well...

September 04, 2018 11:00 - 1 hour - 51.9 MB

This week Sydnie steps in for Josh as three alpha players talk about alpha players in co-op games.  Maybe a bit one sided, but we do end up talking about three different view points from that side.  We're looking for some good feedback on this episode, so take some time and let us know what your experiences are playing co-ops with alpha players and how you deal with it.

TGT 106 On Topic: Playing Older Games You’ve Missed

August 28, 2018 11:00 - 53 minutes - 43.2 MB

This week we take a look at the idea that you should (or shouldn't) play older games you may have missed because they are icons of the genre. Or maybe because everyone says they are "great" (even though they may not play it anymore themselves). Or maybe because you want more gamer cred. Or maybe you shouldn't bother with the classics and just play good games... ? You can follow and/or support us with these links: Email us at [email protected] - for questions and feedback. Follo...

TGT 105 On Topic: Generic Settings

August 21, 2018 11:00 - 56 minutes - 45.3 MB
