Season 4

Absolutely delighted to be joined by Marc, Lacey and Tom from Orange Nebula to chat about the success of Vindication, their current campaign for Unsettled on Kickstarter and why they are one of our favourite boardgame designers and all round favourite people. 
If you haven't checked out the campaign yet, then you have a couple of weeks left, but being in the Orange Nebula community is an experience in itself. So even join for a dollar to get involved. It's extremely positive to be part of.

Richard is joined by John Mizon of SW Megagames to chat about 30 player huge turnabouts of fun. AND ITS MEGA. 
Links of Notes
Megagames are massive day-long experiences that blend roleplaying, board game-style mechanics, social gameplay and model-UN style simulation to a venue filled with anywhere from 30 to 300 players. Though the themes of games can range from sci-fi colony planets all the way to medieval courts, the unifying feature is simulating a massive, confusing crisis or conflict, and seeing how the existing structures and factions deal with the challenges of information and communication that the situation brings.Links:

When you want to play the new hotness but everyone wants to play some they know instead. 
A classic with some slightly tabletop lyrics instead.
Board Town Road..
 
Yeah,I'm gonna take my games to boardgame club,
I'm gonna drive so I can take them all
I'm gonna take my games to boardgame club,
I'm gonna drive so I can take them all.
I got board games in the back,
Board games in my lap Got a special bag,
With board games I can pack.
With the hotness I can source,
(Kickstarters of course.)
Adding to my tally
Spending too much of my lolly.
They are gonna want for nothing (gonna want for nothing)
Of my games, they play nothing
We end up playing nothing.
Always end up chatting,
Catching up and laughing
Always end up playing,
That Mars game that I'm hating,
My life is a Movie
Of Watched it Played and Rulebooks
And learning games each session
Answering their questions
Playing all the new games(Do we have to play a new game?)
They want to play an old game (We know how to play an old game?)
Yeah,I'm gonna take my games to boardgame club,
I'm gonna drive, so I can take them all
I'll not play my games to boardgame club,
Next time, I'll leave them in the car..
