This week's guest is RPG legend, Monte Cook. We talk about his time in TSR, designing D&D and being your own boss...but which games did he choose? Support the show here A Deck of Cards Chess Dungeons and Dragons The Cypher System Invisible Sun
Pocket Paragons is a what-beats-what card dueling game. Select a card; play it’s ability and try to anticipate your opponent’s next move. Duel one on one or in teams of three characters. Seven cards separate you from glory or defeat.

In this spiritual episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Matt and Tom are talking about just one game - a game that has sat alone on Tom’s ‘To-Play’ shelf like a bottle of brown sauce in a wetherspoons sauce caddy. That’s right, it’s Bitoku, a game about splodging sauce all over a beautiful forest until various bears, otters and raccoons come to lick of all the liquid from the branches and leaves: yum yum yum.
We're on the way to Dice Tower West, so we're keeping this one easy breezy with just a hot question. How many games on your shelf do you think you could teach without looking at the rulebook? Before we turn up the heat, we talk about Yokohama, Final Girl, and Mystic Paths.
Danni Loe from Pandasaurus Games and James Hudson from Druid City Games rejoin the show to talk about the benefits and increasing drawbacks of producing games through Kickstarter. KS provides upfront cash and immediate feedback from fans, which is great. It also has huge issue with lack of moderation, the move to blockchain, and overall unresponsiveness to the very creators it says it wants to highlight. James and Danni break all of that down for you.

Carla Kopp, from Weird Giraffe Games, discusses how to multiply your time and get more done.
Carla runs multiple companies while also designing games and creating solo modes for other designers’ games, so she’s had to figure out how to create more hours in the day. We talk about time management, scheduling, and all sorts of other things.
Opener: 7 Wonders: Architects, France's Game of the Year winner (the As D'Or) Do you have a Top 100 list? How about just a Top Ten, and do you update it every year? I have a sort of list, but it's the same one I've had for over twenty years. In fact, I ran through it very quickly on the first episode of this podcast back in 2005! (No need to dig up that old fossil, but my show had to start somewhere. ) I've been thinking about a new top ten of more recent games, but I'm not ready with that. Perhaps that will be in a future show, because there ARE plenty of modern titles that I really enjoy. It would be fun to talk about them, in part to contrast them against the "hotness" on BGG and Kickstarter that I often can't connect with. Again...that's a future show. In THIS episode I thought my original top ten was worth discussing all over. In some cases they are games I love just as much as ever. Others are more sentimental favorites, not really making it to the table any longer. In a few cases I think the games represented of a type of game that I still enjoy, and there are newer examples. Closer: Fragility in boardgame mechanics -Mark
We're always on the lookout for new potential taglines here at SVWAG, as our earlier efforts "that one where the guy talks to that dude" and "we shout into a can so you don't have to" have been deemed insufficient. "We like it hard" was put forth by Walker, but the editorial staff are afraid it is apt to be misconstrued. "We weaponize children" was rejected for the opposite reason, namely that it might be correctly interpreted. Specificity tends to get us into trouble, which is why we have kept "a boardgaming podcast about boardgames" for as long as we have.

On this special episode Mitch, Mike, Dan and Conor kick off Oceania Month with the designer of the much-loved Hadrian's Wall: Bobby Hill. Bobby shares with us what games helped inspire Hadrian's Wall, lets us into the clandestine goings-on of his gaming group, laments as he slowly evolves into his father, and lets us in on his next project!
In the Board Game Bracket we settle the last match-up, Wingspan vs Lords of Waterdeep, before we tee up the next battle: Viticulture vs Quacks of Quedlinburg. To make sure your favourite goes through to the next round make sure you vote on our socials.
Finally, in Swear An Oath Dan played Targi for the first time and loved it, but is still gearing up to the Under Falling Skies campaign. Mike got Clank in Space to the table and is now seriously wondering if he bothers keeping the original Clank! Conor played Imperial Settlers with Adrian, and also played Oath to mixed feelings from the group. Meanwhile Mitch is still mentally preparing to play Cerebria. New oaths include to beat a personal best in Hadrian's Wall (Dan), Railroad Ink (Mike), Zapotech (Conor), to take a break and smell the roses (Bobby), and After The Virus (Mitch).
