Boards & Swords

One of these days I will stop putting Lord of the Rings MTG stories in the news…I’m sorry but today is not that day. Also: a tabletop minis game set in a trailer park, Gloomhaven: just smaller, and massacre your friends (but only in Texas with a Chainsaw!). And Cory and Jimmy join us to talk about Dice Theme Park from Alley Cat Games and we play the “Um, Actually” card game.

The one ring is found, Cocaine Bear: the RPG, and defend Waffle House from Zombies! Also, you know we are going to talk about 10th edition Warhammer 40K and we take a look at the Dragonlance D&D5e adventure that released earlier this year.

A couple of games being brought back from the dead, one that might be dead in the water, and Worms the Board Game? Then we talk to Brian Ibbott from The Morning Stream and find out what kind of games he enjoys playing.

Are movies based on tabletop games the next trend? (I hope not). Ticket to ride is hoping on the legacy train (hehe), and the Metal Gear Solid game is back! Also, we celebrate Memorial Day by talking about games based on historical wars.

Nerf gun RPGs, Doctor Who & Magic, and of course: a new Warhammer 40k box set!! Then, we get our Nova on as we talk with Mike from the Nova Open Committee as he tells us about all the new changes coming to the Nova Open this year - including A LIVE BOARDS & SWORDS! Come join us!

Wizards went too far…again…., a lot of nerds got together in a mall and set a world record, and we’re in Vegas baby! See what crazy antics we got into, plus Chris got to talk with Scott Johnson from Frogpants Studios about his new card game “Dungeon Murder” ( https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rockrunners/dungeon-murder-a-new-game-by-scott-johnson )

A titan is gone, Funko got more IPs, and you wont believe our last news story. Then, get ready to hear about your next vacation as Wayne from Adventure Away (http://adventureawaymd.com/) comes on to talk about the D&D movie and their service, where you can potentially play D&D in a CASTLE!

I mean, there’s April Fool’s jokes and sequels to various board games coming out, but we all know the real news lately: Warhammer 40K tenth edition is coming! I wonder what Chris will have to say about it.

Hot Pockets & Magic? Sounds like a bad afternoon in the bathroom. Plus, soccer is coming to Catan? We must have played too much spelljammer and fell into an alternate universe, so we'll talk about the D&D Spelljammer setting and our thoughts on it.

We took an episode off, but the news never sleeps! So there’s a ton of news, from new board game versions of Sea of Thieves and Apex Legends to Lord of the Rings in Magic the Gathering and also a game about butts? Oh yeah, and we talk about Twilight Inscription, the 4 board roll and write game from Fantasy Flight Games.

Paizo sold out of all their Pathfinder stock? There’s a sequel to Scythe coming? And, something something something new D&D adventure. Also, talk about the board game Oath from Leder Games.

We could do another whole episode on the D&D OGL drama, but we provide some updates and then talk to Rich from rokminis.com about what's it like taking gaming from a hobby to a career!

Welcome to 2023! Time to spend all that holiday cash and buy more games! So what are we doing this year? Also, D&D might be getting greedy with its licensing, and we’ve got board games based on video games (Deep Rock Galactic & Dark Souls)

It’s the last podcast of 2022! And what a podcast to close the year out on: a Warhammer 40k show coming from Henry Cavill, new board game and RPG announcements, and we’ve got our friends Cory & Jimmy here to talk about Pax Unplugged and all the things they saw there!

Gloomhaven is going to make a RPG? There’s a Co-op version of Carcassonne coming? Chris went to Pax Unplugged and only played 1 game? Also, there was this Tanks-giving thing to talk about. All of that and much more, as we bring back “But Wait, There’s More” in the end of the show for some good laughs.
