The lawless game pitchin' podcast.
Here's the deal.
Each episode, we draw 3 words from a hat and try to turn them into a brand new pitch for a video game.
Then we take those 3 words and alternate between independently brainstorming off mic and then discussing on mic.
We truly don't know what the words will be or where they will take us, but we will always find a way to turn them into a pitch.
We try to cover the core concept, some details about gameplay and the story, and then finally a title.
At the end, we write up our final pitch and deliver it to you - the listener.
Every episode we're on a journey to figure out what the game will be and we hope you have fun tagging along with us.
Keeping the table top community in the know about what's going on in the minds of the people behind their favorite games. From voice actors, to game developers, and many more The ForCast is here to inform and entertain!

Hi, we are Jennie and Chris, your friendly hosts and we'd like to welcome you to the Melbourne Meeples podcast, the Friendly Meeple Lounge!
What is Melbourne Meeples? We are a Not-For-Profit Organisation who runs board game events all around Victoria. As such, we set our eyes and hands on a lot of different board games, and we want to share what we know with you! We know, there are lots of people out there already talking about board games, but we noticed that not many people are talking about how friendly games are for people who are Neurodiverse or who have disabilities, such as Colour-Blindness. So, we break it down, give you some tips to make the game more friendly, bringing along our significant others, friends and even members, as well as many other special guests, to talk about it.
To find out more information about Melbourne Meeples and all of our events, you can check us out here: https://meeples.org.au/
