The last episode before episode 100 (promise!).
This episode (a bit longer than usual, I warn you) we, as in Kara, Dr Mike Reddy and I, have got together to bring you the latest Game Buffet with our list of best traitor mechanic games out there.
Being the sort of original humans we are, we’ve got some interesting and some downright strange selection. We put our case forward and then decide as a group in what place it should go. It sounds a lot more straight forward than it is!
Our list of proposed games is:
Paco:
Dr Mike Reddy:
Kara:

The last episode before the centenary episode of the G*M*S Magazine Podcast. Episode 100 will be special. We’ve no idea how yet, but it’ll be special.
Meanwhile, I thought it’d be a good idea to interview Christopher Badell (yes, again), but this time not about Sentinels of the Multiverse, but about their new gaming venture; Galactic Strike Force.
In Galactic Strike Force, the players play cooperatively to build ships and join forces in a tactical battle system. Although it is a coop game like Sentinels, it doesn’t play the same, it doesn’t feel the same and it doesn’t look the same. This one even has minis!
Galactic Strike Force is now being funded in Kickstarter and you can take a look at the project page here.
But I shall say no more and let you get on with the interview. Enjoy the show! (please)

Gaming can manifest in many ways and it can make us do some very strange things, like web series.
We have had other web series in the past when we had Joanna Gaskell for an interview about her web series, and now we have another producer with a very different offering.
Game Knights is a web series about a bunch of friends who get together and play role playing games. The series is a mix of real-life and animated cartoons and it shows the players around the table and their adventures.
But I rather say nothing else and let you find out from the voice of Javier Palenzuela, the producer of the series.
Enjoy the show! (please)

Another episode with a twist. In this episode we don’t talk games. Well... not all the time.
I had the pleasure of taking to Joanna Gaskell, the producer, writer, actress and overall brains and passion behind Standard Action, one of the bet produced and funniest fantasy web series out there.
The series has gone through one full season and season two episodes are being screened now, with still some episodes to come. Season three is currently being funded in Kickstarter and has already got enough money to produce the third season, though there are some really cool stretch goals to come.
But there is a lot more than meets the eye to this series and to Joanna as well. And some seriously exciting plans!

Another episode of awesomeness with our much esteemed Dr Mike Reddy.
I’m not sure I want to give away a lot about this show because it was quite improvised, but you will probably like it. I mean… I hope so.
However there are two things that I want to mention in the show notes because they matter.
Firstly Standard Action. This is a web series done with little money and a lot of love by an incredible bunch of talented people in Vancouver. Although our next episode will tell you a lot about the series and the originators – because we have an interview – I wanted to give a shout about them now because they have a Kickstarter going on and they could do with even more help. Please visit their project page and help if you can.
The second bit is even more important. Goblinaid was created by Fenris Games not too long ago to help Kev “Goblinmaster” Adams and it is the hell of a cause to get behind. Kev is one of the most influential miniatures sculptors in the UK and his work creating the look and feel of goblins for Citadel is still current.
Recently he was very badly assaulted in his home and was badly beaten and stabbed. Although he’s recovering and will be able to return to work, the return is not going to be without its difficulties and Goblinaid has been created to raise some funds and help however people can.
Please visit their website and help if you can. It’s truly appreciated. Thank you.

You thought I had forgotten about Conpulsion? Well, nop!
Another of the seminars at the convention and this time Andy Hepworth, Scott Neal, Paul Bourne and Paul Canavan speak about the world of art and all the funky stuff they get up to.
And I asked a few questions. Because… you know… that’s what I do…
Remember our friends at Nearly Enough Dice have also some more interviews and videos from the convention.

One more episode and getting closer to 100!
This episode brings you an interview with Tom Nelson, the Midwest Miniatures Guy.
But before I tell you about that, two announcements. One small, and one very big one.
The first one is to give a shout-out to Standard Action, probably one of the best web series out there. It’s really funny, well written and extremely well produced. They are currently running the Kickstarter campaign to fund the third season, which means you can already see what they can do and how, so you’ll get a good idea of what sort of quality you’ll help fund. You can watch the episodes so far here.
The second shout-out is for Goblinaid. This is the initiative that the guys from Fenris Games to help out Kev “The Goblinmaster” Adams. A few weeks ago three youths broke into Kev’s home, stabbed him and beat him up quite severely. Doctors have been able to save his eye and he will fully recover, but he’s in need of help to get back on his feet. Goblinaid is trying to do just that; get a bit of money to help Kev while he recovers. Please head to the Goblinaid page now and help however you can. Thank you.
And the interview with Tom will give you a good idea of what to look for in a painted mini, why would you want to pain them and also how to find Tom so he can paint the minis you don’t have time for. At $10 per hour, I can tell you that is a steal!
Hope you enjoy the show!

Time for another podcast. This time Jenn, Vickey and I just have a chat about many things. Some of them are in the podcast!
First thing we talked about was Deimonorum, the RPG project recently started to create a community driven and written role playing game.
In Deimonorum, 1985 saw the start of a demonic plague that destroyed 99.5% of the human population. Of the remaining people, only 100.000 are men. In the whole planet.
We also discuss the news that Will Wheaton is considering a spinoff Tabletop to cover role playing games. This news came after he had a go at Savage Worlds and liked enough to consider it worth of the idea. Of course maybe nothing will happen, as producing a show to the standards we are accustomed to is *very* expensive.
And very own Enzeitgeist sends us a little piece about what considerations to keep in mind when you advertise your games and compare with other, theoretically similar games.
Enjoy the show! (please)

Third in the series of episodes from Conpulsion.
This time I bring you, with out most pleasure, an interview with Kevin Beimers, the mind behind Italic Pig. I could tell you what that is, but Kevin explains much better than I could during the interview.
Not an interview about RPGs or Board Games, but about videogames for the mobile platform, but I think you’ll find it interesting. Or I hope you will!
Enjoy the show! (please)

Second episode from the panels that took place at Conpulsion. Landscape art with Paul Bourne and Paul Canavan.
Both artists have extensive experience in creating landscape art in Role Playing games and Videogames and they’re only so happy to talk about their experiences, landscapes, software and the work they’ve done.
And with good reason. They’re bloody brilliant!
Remember that our friends at Nearly Enough Dice also have a bunch of interviews and videos int heir website!
