We're Not Wizards, Tabletop And Board Games Podcast

Carla Kopp joined us from Weird Giraffe Games to talk to us about her up and coming Kickstarter, Stellar Leap, that goes live on the 18th September.

We were joined by Mike Barnes from Who Dares Rolls, who is also the UK Regional Manager For Dized, the Tabletop Companion app that teaches you while you play.  We spend ages talking about Mike and then realise we've done a Frank West and should be talking about Dized as well.  So we do. And we have a fantastic time doing so.  If you are interested in looking at companions apps you should consider given Dized a look, details below.  https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/a-ho-ho-on-the-go-go-mike-barnes-who-dares-rolls-dized-uk/id1084198405?i=1000392038647&mt=2 LINKS OF NOTES https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/dized-board-games-made-easy-app-application#/ https://twitter.com/getdized https://www.facebook.com/getdized  http://www.whodaresrolls.com/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84F7fzrhePI  https://twitter.com/whodaresrolls    If you like what you have heard, please take some time to Rate, Subscribe and Review us on iTunes. https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/were-not-wizards/id1084198405    YOUTUBE - PLEASE

Richard is joined by the Legend that is Steven Tudor from Polyhedron Collider who paid us £8.76 to tell everyone he is a legend.  Take a trip down nostalgia lane as we delve into Steve's beginning in the hobby, teach you all about the Yellow Pages and adverts for boardgames in the 80s and we forget we're recording and just have a laugh with no real agend or idea what we are doing.  This was a lot of fun. I'm struggling to pick my favourite now.  (it's still Jon) LINKS OF NOTES  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wC2QJa8olUk - HEROQUEST ADVERT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keNpZG4xxgA  - CENTURIONS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeicexenTmU - YELLOW PAGES ADVERT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ERmUzs1O5E - SPACE CRUSADE https://en-gb.facebook.com/PolyhedronCollider/ - PC Facebook https://www.youtube.com/user/polyhedroncollider - PC Youtube https://twitter.com/polyhedronc - PC TWITTER http://www.polyhedroncollider.com/ - Polyhedron Collider Website.   If you like what you have heard, please take some time to R

Richard is joined by Phil Collins from Board Game Crate to chat about all things cardboard and to give us information on how he started his subscription service for boardgame lovers.  He talks about some of the games he's been playing, including potion explosion, and the excellent The Captain is Dead.  Phil goes into detail about the technology behind the service, including how the software selects the games you get based on your likes and current collection.  It's a really interesting discussion and finishes with one of most agonising answers of the zombie question.  LINKS OF NOTES https://cmon.com/product/potion-explosion/potion-explosion  https://www.alderac.com/thecaptainisdead/  https://www.facebook.com/boardgamecrate/ https://twitter.com/boardgamecrate  https://www.boardgamecrate.co.uk/  PLEASE HELP SPREAD THE WORD. https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/other-shelving-units-are-available-phil-collins-board/id1084198405?i=1000391765020&mt=2 If you like what you have heard, please take some time to Rat

CONTAINS A FABLE 2 SPOILER Richard is delighted to be joined by Richard Ham, aka as Rahdo from Rahdo runs through it.  Unlike our normal chats, we go futher back into Rahdo's past and talk about his work on Fable 2 and dealing with Peter Molyneux, his movement into starting his own channel, why Richard is the only person who thinks Rahdo's commentary is relaxed and why he likes where he is even because of the Spiky people. And why Boardgame design is something he will never do. We really appreciate Rahdo's time, firstly because he's a busy man and secondly because he sat in 90 degree heat to speak with us.   You can check out all of Rahdo's fabulous works below in the notes.  Links Of Notes https://www.facebook.com/RahdoRunsThrough/ https://www.boardgamegeek.com/user/rahdo https://www.youtube.com/rahdo http://feeds.feedburner.com/RahdoTalksThrough https://twitter.com/Rahdo    PLEASE HELP SPREAD THE WORD.

Richard is joined by Rory J Somers, and we have the Web Cam on during the Skype call which leads to all types of shenanighans. Rory talks about how he got into the hobby, Plague Inc, loving Sub Terra, backing lots of Kickstarters and why you need to have custard crems in the house if Peter Blenkharn visits you.  We had a laugh and a half and Rory will be coming on again in the next couple of months.  Please follow Rory on his various channels and make sure you challenge him to a game of Star Realms!!

Richard is joined by Henry Jasper from Grublin games, creator of the fabulous Cornish Smuggler, Waggle Dance and the soon to be released Perfect Crime. Richard and Henry talk about his history, the success of cornish smuggler, reprinting games, angering the Daily Mail and some general nonsense.  There are some audio issues with this episode as Richard's computer lost a couple of parts of his side of the recording that he need to redo, so while Henry was fantastic, Richard needs to go sit on the naughty step and think about what he has done.  Henry will be back to tell us about the three new games he has coming out in the future that he decided not to tell us about. He was an excellent guest.    LINKS OF NOTES  https://grublin.com/ https://twitter.com/grublingames  https://www.facebook.com/GrublinGames/  YOUTUBE - PLEASE SUBSCRIBE https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC03LRG64f05w0C3Bs3aZ4sA   Board Game Geek - https://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgamepodcast/35093/were-not-wizards  Website - www.werenotwizards.com

Richard is joined by Callan Sargeant from The Playful Gnome, to chat about his Kickstarter Runicah, the challenges of facing your second attempt at a campaign and the importance of showing your working when you are a maths teacher.  And we have a big chat about Pandemic, because we don't assume everyone has played it and they might want to.
