Jamie, Ariel, and John go on a snack break, try to figure out what a Catan TV show would be, and end the episode with a "The more you know" PSA...

John and Jamie are joined by Ryan, COO of AEG and someone with an amazing history in gaming! Join us as we talk about the original OGL, CMON's woes, and Essen Speil's triumph!

John and Jamie are joined by the Creative Director of Rules and Lore for Pathfinder (best title ever) Luis Loza as they talk about Luis's journey to his current role, the new Draconic Codex that he's so excited about, and also news on Magic's new sets and how it's padding Hasbro's margins. Jamie also dives deep into some of the changes at GAMA to be more proactive in the board game world. 

With Jamie out and about, John calls in Alexis and Co-founder of Rio Grande Games Jay to speak on Jay's career in the industry, as well as what GAMA is doing to help local game stores, what CMON is selling off next, and is the next big industry event in...dubai?

Jamie and John realize that Jamie lives "um actually" every day, then explore problematic settings, GAMA's lawsuit success, and start getting excited for FlatCon!

Jamie and John are on video, and it shows. They still manage to talk about Cmon's continued issues, Lucky Duck change ups, and D&D is heading to true sci fi space!

Jamie and John are back from GenCon, and can confirm are 50% free of covid! But what the did pick up is a lot of info on new games we love, games we didn't care for, and surprises that were had! But don't worry, we're still relevant, as we talk about Diamond's continued disaster, WOTC bringing the Magic to Romantacy and K-Pop, and how Gamefound still has problems. 

Jamie and John sit down to discuss all the moving and shaking going on in the industry, how warhammer is now going to be hit by tariffs a bit harder, and how John had to stop being an adventurer because he took an arrow to the knee...I mean chest.    Also, stick around if you want a spoiler filled review of James Gunn's Superman!

Jamie and John discuss a lot of RPGS, an update on the tariff tirade, and proves Cooler Ranch chips did exist. 

Jamie comes back mere hours from Origins to let us know who the big winners were from this year, as well as talks with John about management moves from Embracer and Darington Press, asmodee taking on Jamie's beloved Zombicide, and where you can pet cats and play games in Champaign.  

NITRO!!!! With only a limited amount of time, Jamie and John push the petal to the metal to deliver that same amount of content in half the time! But that doesn't mean they don't dive deep into who the game of the year award winners might be, talk more about the decline of CMON's catalog, and discuss how Origins may be making some headway into being a top tier convention!

Jamie and John talk about all the cool card games Jamie got a sneak preview of while also discussing CMON needing help, Baulder's Gate Mini's needing help, and ways that you can support a 3rd Vampire hunter D movie. 

Jamie and John talk about how people are already pulling out of Gencon and why, how Wizards could not be happier with their Final Fantasy magic set, and the Diamond Publishing drama continues. 

Jamie and John take all the new tariff news and condense it into a new segment so they can leave room for talking about Wizards's love of Final Fantasy, how Mensa passed out some awards, and how Gunpla influenced Overwatch.

John and Jamie talk with the person with purchasing power Alexis to talk about how the tariffs feel to the store

Hey Guys, life got in the way but we'll see you again in two weeks!

Jamie and John look at Warhammer 40K news you can use (and some you can't), and then talk about how many TV shows and Movies are popping up in the geekery we all love.
