Episode 72: A War Of Whispers, Dice Forge, Raiders of the North Sea

 

In this episode we welcome back Conor to the BBQ, joining Steve and Adrian at the BBQ. In our Sizzling Games segment Adrian has been controlling armies from afar in A War Of Whispers, Conor has been praying for a God roll in Dice Forge, and Steve has been teaching his son the art of pillaging in Raiders of the North Sea.

In our topic of the week, the team discuss what it currently takes to get a game to the table, and what influences what games they play, or don't play.

Also, the lads are bringing some games to the slow-cooker and we look forward to hearing more about those in coming weeks.

Finally, in Swear An Oath, Steve's mission to crack 300 on Ganz Shon Clever continues, Adrian is still trying to achieve $1500 in Pipeline, and Conor doubles down on his Smartphone Inc oath by adding Welcome to DinoWorld!
