Episode 235: Mike Tunez (Firelock Games)

This week I talk once again to the amazing Mike Tunez of Firelock Games. Firelock develops awesomeness. Their games are fun and engaging, from their settings to their mechanics, and all their interactions with us. I find them amazing. One of the biggest reasons why I love this hobby is that where in other hobbies you wouldn’t dream of or have access to the big cheese at the top. For example, you wouldn’t dream of just contacting the guy who made Ping, the golfing company, but in this hobby, people like Mike actively seek interactions with us, it’s pretty special.

Episode 234: Count Vampz (How Much Does Stuff Cost?)

This week I talk to Vampz, and we talk about how much different things cost. You may remember the ‘sustainable gaming’ chats we had around episode 150, a group of 3 episodes on the subject. I wanted to revisit the idea and when I was doing my research I checked out a video by Count Vampz Painting and Wargaming where he had plotted out the off-the-shelf price of getting involved in various tabletop wargames and their comparative costs.

Episode 222: Robert Salters (Battlespace, Rusty Dagger, Heros Among Us)

In this episode, I speak to Robert Salters who writes mini-agnostic rule sets. You hear about them in the show, but the one you may know of most is Battlespace, an ultra-modern solo/co-op rule set with some interesting mechanics, which you will hear about in the chat. It was fun to talk to Robert, and I thank him on our behalf for taking the time to chat.

Episode 221: Dave Taylor (The Art Of)

In this episode, I speak to Dave Taylor the Publisher extraordinaire. Dave finds miniature painters who are interesting and who he feels are deserving of a spotlight in which to express their ethos and skill. These books are called The Art Of and you can do a bit of a search for them if you want and see if they tickle your fancy. I think Dave is an interesting guy and it is an interesting concept so check it out if you want. Check out ep 177 for a little more insight into Dave and his history, we dont talk about it in this show, so maybe refresh by listening to that before you slide the whip off the underpants of this episode.
