You may have noticed that this episode appears at a slightly different schedule than our usual podcasts. Partly, this is due to the fact that your illustrious hosts will BOTH be otherwise occupied on the Monday this episode is supposed to go Live, but – also – it just seems fitting that the episode where we lay out some of our hopes for tabletop gaming and the future of InnRoads in the coming year gets posted on the eve of 2015’s arrival.

So, in this episode, we talk about the games we’re excited for, the trends we hope to see more of in the future, and let you guys in on some of the things we hope to see from the InnRoads site in this new year. See you in 2015!
