We’ve been living that quarantine life like everyone else lately, and we’re starting to get a bit stir-crazy.

Games mentioned:
Animal Upon Animal
Backyard Builders Treehouse
Run For Your Life, Candyman
Ptolus
The Harvesters
Arcana of the Ancients (which Mike now actually HAS)
Tides of Time

Digital Gaming Platforms:
Roll20.net
Fantasy Grounds
Astral
D20 Pro
GM Forge
Foundry Virtual Tabletop
3D Virtual Tabletop
Tabletop Simulator
Tabletopia
Board Game Arena

Episode 133 – Scythe, Shots, Shut Downs, Sun, STEAM, and Serve

Posted on by

It’s post Gen Con life for many of us, so this episode’s title explains it all. I get jealous that Daniel brought home a copy of Scythe, we talk about Gen Can’t gaming and the Summer of One Shots, mourn the upcoming loss of weekly Gamerstable, postulate about the Invisible Sun RPG kickstarting the same day you may be listening to the episode, InnRoads showing up on Ladies of the Round Table to talk about games and STEM, and the importance of serving first – doing everything else second.

The kickstarter for Invisible Sun is but hours away, so to whet your whistle, I’ll point you to the mirror on the wall that wasn’t there a minute ago.
