Wednesday Dec 21, 2016
Wednesday Dec 21, 2016
Richard is joined by Frank West, the creator of The City of Kings. A new game scheduled to be hitting Kickstarter in early 2017.
Frank tells us about his self built monopoly type game he designed as a lad, we talk dating tips and hugely long sessions of Eclipse, playing Terraforming Mars and why not to email someone who triggers if they hear someone saying they are a wizard.

Richard is joined by Aron West, who as the Creative Director for Elzra Games can claim responsibility for bringing a huge smile to Colin's face.
Which is no bad thing. In fact, you can here how much we love Catacombs here.
Aron talks about Caylus, one of his favourite games before taking us all on the journey of the Catacombs Kickstarter. You'll be delighted to know that Richard shut up and let Aron talk for a change.
It's fascinating to here not only what Elzra have achieved but where they are going with the franchise.
We have a couple of exclusives to share on where things are going which is very exciting.

Episode 31: Work In Progress - Kevin Young - Inspiring Games - Legends Untold
Tuesday Dec 13, 2016
Tuesday Dec 13, 2016
We said we would get him back in if he funded - we never guessed it would have been eight hours after the campaign launched. Dropping back in to chat during the whirlwind campaign with days to go is Kevin Young from Inspiring Games.
Brilliant guy to talk to and we can't wait to see the finished game when it launches.

Continuing our series of chatting to creators in the industry we speak to Peter Blenkharn, who as the Co-founder and Managing Partner of Inside the Box Boardgames is reosponsible for bringing the businesses ideas to life as well as publishing other creators content.
We talk about his start out with Broken Shield before his movement into his first successful Kickstarter Molecular, before moving into Statecraft and then what the future holds with subterra.
It wouldn't be a We're Not Wizards chat without a little sprinkling of nonsense. It's a interesting listen and we really are grateful to Peter for his time.

We've spoken to those in the middle of Kickstarters, or prelaunch so we thought it was time to look at a post match analysis of what happens once the dust settles. Excuse the first of many football based puns.
So it made sense to bring in Mark Pearson from The London Boardgame Company to tell us all about what happened after the campaign is closed and funded as well as some of his thoughts on the creative process itself.
He talks about how he got into the hobby with Ticket to Ride, before moving on to chat about how he made his own idea a reality.
It's a really interesting listen if you are interested in the industry at all with regards to kickstarters

Sometimes it just seems right to get someone on the podcast. No they don't have to be known in the industry, or be internet famous, or have something to casually promote. They just bring some good old fashioned conversation to the table and a lot of laughs as well.
This was the case with Niki, who after listening to the now infamous trilogy of Jeremy Greer, Bryan Wade and Charles Turner asked if she could be on and talk about her boardgaming. The episode you hear is only about 40% of what we talked about before we decided to actually record the show, which maybe explains the giggling at the beginning but not the rest of the nonsense that ensues.
We spoke about a fair number of games, all of which are mentioned in some shape or form below.
Niki was a delight to have on the show.

Richard is joined by Tracey from Chaos Cards, an online retailer that has seen a massive boom in business over the last couple of years due to the popularity of boardgaming, RPGing and Cards.
But we want to find out more about Tracey's involvement in the hobby, her LARPing, White Wolfing, Shadowrunning, Call of Cthulhuhuhthuhtulu, and her obsession with getting hold of Arkham Horror....
We then talk about Chaos Cards itself, including the Drawer of Treasure and the opening of their bricks and mortar shop/cafe that Tracey will be the manager of.
And we add some special messages, just for Tony, the Owner.
Tracey was a great guest and we hope you enjoy the episode as much as we did.

Richard is joined by Alice Bell, one of the key writers and content creators for Videogamer.com.
We thought it was about time to ask her on so she could tell us all about her D&D days, playing Shadowrun, and having to deal with the source of all evil. A tortoise with an attitude and a grudge. We talk Funemployed and Dr. Magnethands and have a chat about why we need boardgames when we have everything Videogames can offer.
We really appreciated Alice's time and we hope you enjoy the episode.

Richard is joined by Charles Turner, aka VaderVanOdin, aka Really Genuinely Great Guy to talk through time about his own special relationship with cardboard and lead and the beloved Games Workshop.
We delve into sibling rivalry and Heroquest before jumping into his current passion for Talisman and we once again curse Bryan Wade for having to be that guy. We talk about games Vader would like to play and games he would like to give a kick as well.
It's an excellent chat and Charles was an excellent guest and I emplore you to go follow him on Twitter www.twitter.com/vadervanodin and subscribe to his excellent youtube channel www.youtube.com/vadervanodin as well as listen to him on www.twitter.com/darkinsight

Episode 24: Friends of the Show- Yes? Keeping Up With The Nick Joneses
Monday Nov 07, 2016
Monday Nov 07, 2016
Some people deserve no introduction, Nick Jones deserves a ticker tape parade and a holiday named after him.
His genuine enthusiasm for supporting podcasts and us smaller content creators knows no bounds, with him being responsible for most of the listening hours we've seen on We're Not Wizards.
It made complete sense to get him on the show so we could publicly thank him as well as help him understand the difference between the Red and Blue versions of Pandemic Legacy.
We also jump back into Dead of Winter because why not?
We never spoke about Heroquest, so expect a follow up Retro show in the future.
We really appreciate Nick's time, and all of his continued support.

Wednesday Nov 02, 2016
WARNING - Contains massive amounts of Scottishness that some listeners may find incomprehensible. Richard is joined by Kevin Young from Inspiring Games in the latest in the series of 'Work in Progress' episodes. We touch on how Kevin got into the hobby, and what inspired him to take it one step further and develop his own Card/ RPG Hybrid 'Legends Untold' Kevin was a whole lot of fun to speak with and we thank him for taking the time out of his busy schedule to come on the show.

In a much overdue exclusive, we talk to John Harper and Greg Barr, both long term members of the Dunfermline Wargaming and Roleplaying Fellowship.
Yes, this is the place where Colin and Richard first met, and where the idea for We're Not Wizards became a reality.
This is the club where things just go cardboard and miniature crazy. But every year they run the event called Winter War, which aims to raise some money for worthwhile causes.
So tune in as we discuss how they both got into the hobby all the way through to how we deal with potential Dancer invasions.

Hold on to your hats and scarves and dice as we head into autumn as Richard is joined by David, Amara and Brian from the D&D podcast, A Quest for Magic and Steele.
Things start with a six handed clap, before we discuss playing T.I.M.E Stories and then the origins of the Magic and Steele podcast, the characters and of course, general nonsense and tangents just happen.
We'd like to thank David, Amara and Brian for coming on to the show and we heartly recommend you give them a listen is you haven't done so and their podcast is both very accessible and entertaining.

In another Friends of the Show episode, we are joined by Bryan Wade, who is here to teach Richard all about the wonderful game of Magic the Gathering. Who is a great guest right up until the Last Minute. Then he is a big DISAPPOINTMENT.
We touch briefly on the Adventure Time version of Love Letter. Then Bryan tells us about his go-to game Sheriff of Nottingham before we discuss the confusion often surrounding Netrunner before jumping head first into World of Magic the Gathering. We try to keep the jargon to the minimum so Richard doesn't get confused and we even ask the ultimate Magic Question - What Magic Card would Brad Pitt buy you if he wanted you to be his friend?
At the end of it all, Richard might even be tempted to dive in and sample some Magic..
Please note that while we continue to mention Mr Jeremy Greer in a BAD LIGHT, understand that he is actually a very wonderful and amazing human being and me and Bryan think he is totally NOT THE WORST.

In our latest in our Work in Progress series we are joined by Duncan Molloy, designer for Osprey Games and all round genuinely delighful man.
Richard gets all misty eyed as we dive back into both their childhoods and chat Heroquest, the terror of trying to get a perfect run in Pandemic Legacy, before Duncan becomes the detective and tells us about Sherlock Holmes, Consulting Detective.
We then have a chat about Osprey Games, including some of the key games in their catalogue before Duncan tells us the tale behind their latest endeavour, rereleasing and updating the classic Escape from Colditz.
It's utterly fascinating and told with a real passion and sincerity.

In another Friends of the Show special we are joined by the very talented award winning and award nominated and videogame writing (but not singing) and all round good person Kate Gray (pronounced Bob). Kate has written for a number of well known publications and websites and we were really pleased to have her on as a guest to talk all things cardboard. We start with a clap and we carry on from there to talk about what games Kate enjoys before diving into some of the more modern games available on the market. We then continue into art requests and questions before the police come along and cart us away. We thank Kate for givng us her valuable time and anyone who asked questions for the show. We had a good old chat about these Carcasonne http://www.zmangames.com/carcassonne-universe.html Spyfall https://www.cryptozoic.com/spyfall Love Letter https://www.alderac.com/loveletter/ Time Barons http://time-barons.com/index.html#top Secret Hitler http://www.secrethitler.com/ Funemployed http://urbanislandgames.com/funemployed/ These Wonderful People Asked Us Questions.

WARNING There are some audio issues in this episode that hopefully don't detract from the interview.
Richard was delighted to be joined by Matt Gilbert, the COO of Mantic Games.
Mantic Games are a UK based boardgame company that have released a popular range of games including Kings of War, The Walking Dead, Dead Zone, Dreadball, Mars Attack and Dungeon Saga primarily using Kickstarter.
Together they talk about Matt's history of boardgames before discussing the Dungeon Saga Kickstarter campaign, covering what was learned from the challenges they faced and what they have implemented for future Kickstarter projects.
They also chat about plans for the future including the release of a Fighting Fantasy series of books, one of which Matt himself wrote.
Richard also gets a bit excited at the prospect of Star Saga, the newest IP from the company.
We thank Matt very much for his time.

In the second of our Work in Progress Episodes we are Joined by Gary Devereaux and Aidan Lorenzo from Underestimated games.
We discuss their up and coming Kickstarter Skirmish game Purgatory where they give us a run down on how it works and what to expect if you back the campaign. The Campaign will go live on October 10th.
(It looks really rather interesting indeed.)
This of course wouldn't be a We're Not Wizards episode if we didn't delve deeper with them and pick the tiny corners of their minds, so be prepared to find out about the gritty underbelly of the world of Monopoly collecting and why you don't play as the car. As well as dealing with a visit to Games Workshop.
To find out more about Purgatory please check out their Facebook, Twitter and Website that can be found below.

In the first of a new Series, Work In Progress looks at a new Kickstarter project and chats with its creative team.
Joining us on this episode is Jim Keifer and his daughter Lucy, who will be talking about their Kickstarter for their
moving tile, collaborative tabletop game "Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty's Web"
We are more than aware that we have three people on this episode. We also have a special guest in the form of the gardener operating the leaf blower in the background of Jim's audio, so there the occasional blast of sound in the background. We edited him out where we could, but he still butted in and gave his opinion on Pandemic.
The other thing to note is that part of this episode will potentially send you into some kind of nostalgia based haze and Jim tells us about his history working in the industry. Prepare to either be misty eyed. Or just think whut?
It's nothing short of fascinating.

Do you remember the film Michael Caine starred with Kevin Spacey in the 70s?
Or how about how long the gluten free aisle is in Tesco?
If Pandemic did advent Calendars, what would happen?
This, plus many other important topics are discussed between Richard and Sam Turner from The Staying In Podcast. We also talk about some boardgames, how Sam recently got involved in his six sided habit and much more.
Had a massive amount of fun. Hope you enjoy.
We also need to warn you that the last 5 minutes of this show are quite frankly so full of scandal this may well be the last episode we release with a friend of the show..
It was so much fun, anything less than controversial would have been frankly unacceptable.

For our next Friends of the Show Episode, we are joined by Jeremy Greer.
Jeremy runs his own podcast Don't Give Up Skeleton, which is based on the stories of fans of the Dark Souls series of games, as well as co-hosting the Dark Insight Podcast, which is a videogame related podcast.
Jeremy is new to the boardgaming hobby, so we talk a few games he should consider picking up as a new player including Love Letter, Hive and Survive! Escape from Atlantis.
He tells us about his experiences with Marrying Mister Darcy and how he dealt with being thrown into his first ever Dungeons and Dragons game. In short - he loved it.
We also have a good old chat about the Dark Souls Boardgame Kickstarter, and what our thoughts are on it.

For our next Friends of the Show Episode, we are joined by fabulous Gary Butterfield who is one half of the Duckfeed.tv network.
Along with his co-host Kole Ross, he hosts a number of successful podcasts including the Dark Souls focused Bonfiresidechat, The Retrogame look-back Watch out for Fireballs and the hilarious Abject Suffering.
We really appreciate the time Gary gave us and he was great fun to speak with.
Gary gives us his thoughts on Codenames, RPG campaigns and we manage to pretty much avoid talking Dark Souls until near the end, where Gary reveals a startling revelation.
For those unfamiliar with his work, please visit the Duckfeed website http://duckfeed.tv/
You can find Gary on Twitter - https://twitter.com/garybuh
We even splashed out on some spy related theme music courtesy of http://www.bensound.com/royalty-free-music

In our latest Friends of the Show edition, we reach across the pond and have a chat with Jon Gilmour which unearths one of the funniest and interesting stories we've heard about getting into the hobby. We were really pleased he took the time out to talk to us and it's certainly worth a listen.
Jon, along with Isaac Vega were responsible for the creation of Dead of Winter, a personal favourite of Richard's.
He has been involved in a number of other games which he was happy to talk about as well as telling us what he likes to get to the table.
We talk about Kickstarter and the choices in the route to market and finish up with his latest game in progress, the extremely interesting looking Wasteland Express.
We answered some questions and general had a bit of fun. Even though Richard does comes across as Captain Fanboy.

Tuesday Jul 05, 2016
Tuesday Jul 05, 2016
In a first of a series we have the rather wonderful Paddy Stardust on to Co-Host with Richard while Colin is off causing all sorts of mayhem.
Really grateful for his time and he had plenty to talk about.
For those who aren't aware, Paddy is the one of the hosts of the fantastic Twin Humanities podcast. Along with CJ, they spend their time talking about things related to Dark Souls and on the other side, talk about all things wonderful and interesting in the land of Geek. They are bloody wonderful at it as well. They even have intro music!!
Got These to the Table
Paddy tells us some of the board games he played as a younger nipper including Frustration, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and the Fabulous Tower of Terror.
He moves on to chat about RoboRally and Pathfinder RPG and Space Alert.
Paddy then talks about The Pathfinder adventure card game, The Star Trek Next Gen Interactive Game and the fabulous Dungeonquest.
Get These Off The Shelf
Paddy also talked about games he would love to get hold of including Arkham Horror, Game of Thrones and Battlestar Galactica.
WE GET TO MENTION DEAD OF WINTER!!
Give These a Kick
Paddy talks about Timewatch and of course we have to talk about the Dark Souls Kickstarter.
