We're Not Wizards, Tabletop And Board Games Podcast

Marc and Lacey from Orange Nebula come back on the show to catch up with what is happening with the Epoch - The Awakening Kickstarter production.

Marc is a real inspiration about what can happen when you pick yourself up from falling down the stairs and where it can lead. Lacey is a force of nature. Richard has stopped posting rabbit pictures on twitter and has moved into potato sculpting instead. Please check out the links below.

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.
