In this arid 170th episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down podcast Tom, Ava, and Quinns are chatting about a bunch of games featuring HOSTILE ENVIRONMENTS. It’s like the Shut Up & Sit Down Annual Company Retreat after Quinns threw a War Sun at Ava. We’ll never be the same again.
In this podcast, the gang are saving tigers in Endangered and planting gardens in Ishtar; before settling down to a nice bit of post-apocalyptic bickering in Radlands. Enjoy!

Before we one-three-nine-take-two, we talk about Undaunted: Normandy, Fields of Arle, and That Time You Killed Me.

It's the Melbourne Crew on deck tonight as Mike, Conor, Jules and Dan stand around the BBQ and chat about painting minis, the latest KickStarter arrival of Nemesis: Lockdown, as well as Crossing, Cash 'n' Guns, and Root. Sizzling games this week are Bristol 1350, Final Girl, Warp's Edge, and Mystic Vale.

Finally, in Swear An Oath Conor finally donned his green tights and played The Adventures of Robin Hood, however Adrian is stubbornly preventing him from completing his second oath of Imperial Settlers. Dan is gearing up to play Radlands with Jules later in the week after delaying their playthrough last week. Jules completed painting his Unsettled minis and also played Heroes of Land, Air & Sea with Mike, and Mike played The Prodigals Club at his last game night. New oaths include the Under Falling Skies Campaign (Dan), the Oath Campaign (Conor), painting all of his Nemesis: Lockdown figures (Jules), and Clank! In Space (Mike).
