Well, we had so many folks participating in the ‘name my goblin contest, it was very hard to pick a winner. In the end however, there can only be one, and a name was picked. We also pondered a couple new segment ideas and mused over the mysteries of social media algorithms.

Today I talk about what it’s like trying to run a league whilst experiencing constant bullying from one of the league participants (Roma). We announce the winner of the round two list naming and generally get caught up on what’s going on in our AoS lives.

Roma and I discuss the pros and cons of marking rubrics for competitions, and we ponder the age old question of whether or not there is ever a good time to take your foot off the gas in a game.

The start of the Everwinter Nights league is upon us and it’s tradition to look at list names. There were some gems and some rocks, but one shone bright enough to be picked the winner. Also talk about how nasty a certain Iron Jaw army of renown is. Please enjoy.

It never fails to surprise me how much stuff there is to talk about. Roma is already locked in on False Alarm, we’ve got new nurgle on the horizon, plus the Everwinter Nights League. And then some random thoughts.

Roma can’t wait to talk about my inner goblin, her speedy games, or her new contest idea. Oh, we have a shiny new intro too.

We have been meeting to talk about the points changes all week, and we finally got time to sit down and chat about the points. It was a little longer than normal, and we don’t cover everything, but as usual, we hit he highlights, throw in our two cents, and reflect on how these changes have impacted our first couple games.

No cliffhangers here, we jump right back into sharing the second half of the weekend and discuss some of our big take aways. Use tokens. That’s basically it.

Well, we are back from the 5 Alarm GT, and I can say with utter certainty, that you will never find a more wretched hive…wait, wrong reference. You will never find a more wonderful group of AoS gamers able and willing to curb stomp you, all the while winning your favourite player of the event. I sat this one out out but still had a great time, while Roma learned that a GT is not the first place you want to encounter a chess clock.

5 Alarm GT is just a few days away now and we go over our preparations for the event and look at a faction breakdown of the lists registered at the event.

The thing is when you podcast with your wife, any time you get a stray thought, you can record. Tonight we talk about borrow hammer and whether or not we believe all the juicy rumours floating about the internet right now.

We wrap up the coverage of the Northern Wastes GT, offer some reflections, and start planning for the next event. And note, in fact obscuring objectives are the whole control area. We found the other rule once we published. 

You just can’t cover something as epic as the Northern Wastes GT in a single episode, and in fact, we probably should have split this in half but here it is. From savage beats in the pre tourney warm up to wondering if there is a daddy kink out there somewhere, we covering the highs and the lows of this year’s event. I lied, there were no lows, if was all just bloody amazing. You should probably think about coming next year. You really should.

The last episode generated a little good natured ribbing, so we felt we needed to reply. I think the Dudes have a new content producing nemesis. Saga of Dice, we are coming for you!

It might not be quite the eve of battle, but we are certainly getting close. Roma finished her last game in the league, I overcame dinophobia, and of courses the Northern Wastes GT is just days away. So much to talk about and so little time.

This title didn’t come from tonight’s episode. I’ll let you all in on a little secret, this was the third take cause the first two ended up too spicy for air. Let’s just say, we were feeling strongly about certain topics which lead to a conversation that tested the limits of the very liberal editing team here at the Dudes. However, the show must go on. At any rate, Roma covers her recent league game, and all the the excitement that is building for the Northern Wastes GT and I touch on a great game I had against FEC the other night that left me wondering just how much better the new book is actually going to be.

Roma and I both got a good look at the new KO, and I’m sure we like what we saw. Roma is also furiously prepping for some upcoming games and we still have to get ready for the GT. So much to look forward to in the coming months.

Roma fended off another wannabe and remains the belt holder of our local meta while I ponder on what it means to be responsible for my own game.

With yet another defence of her Championship belt on the line tomorrow, we interview the latest in a long line of would be challenges for the title. At least Robyn has the decency to kick into the bounty pot when/ if Roma maintains her title. With so many wannabe’s lining up these days to take a shot at the champ, it’s seems like it’s been tough to talk about anything else lately.

It’s been super busy AoS lately. Lots of games at our house, Roma got in a key game against her nemesis Fyreslayers, and I got in a fun one against a new player in the community and there are many more events on the horizon. Oh yea, now Roma had a $50 bounty on her to boot.
