Tabletop Game Talk - TGT 147 On Topic: Huge Games
play

06/11/19 • 65 min

Today we’re talking about those games that take up a LOT of space. Sometimes that means space on the table, but it often means multiple boxes, or over sized boxes, or dozens or hundreds of miniatures. These are the games that are a challenge to store and likely a bigger challenge to get a chance to play. So today, we’re talking about what attracts us to, or repels us from these games.

This week we ask ourselves, "If we could only play 10 games for the rest of time, what would they be?" - And then we answered it in this episode. And the lists might surprise you. We had very little overlap which means you get nearly 30 games worth of ideas in case you ever find yourself stranded on Mars with the perfect gaming group and have the foresight to order a bunch of board games before that happens. Want to be a spectator while we record over zoom? Then join us! You can get all the info at tabletopgametalk.com/live. There you'll find our next recording time (typically Mondays at 8:30pm central) as well as the zoom link to use to join us.

You can find out more at http://www.thegamedesignersmovie.com Also, since most of us are now quarantined in some way, here is Suzanne's list of board game apps which is much longer than our list from last week. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1M824hQ0kgksiNuEmBMGFsAEsVPBo2VD5FvpEvYj6UVI/edit#gid=693775771 If you want to read the credits, send an mp3 (or similar audio file) of you reading the following names.

Tabletop Game Talk - TGT 133 On Topic: Games vs. Puzzles vs. Activities
play

03/05/19 • 59 min

Today we’re talking about what makes something a game, or a puzzle, or an activity. Yeah, this could turn into us arguing semantics, but hopefully not. Really what we’ll try to do is identify the traits of each of these things and see how that affects our choices of games we like. Email us at [email protected] - for questions and feedback.

Tabletop Game Talk - TGT RPGs 248: Player Expectations
play

08/03/21 • 65 min

This week Kitty is back! And Chris puts her on the hot seat for something she said (that turns out was said in our post show chat) about wanting to be able to plan her characters spells throughout the adventuring day. What should players be able to expect from the games they play and and the DMs/GMs run? Should a roleplaying game be as unpredictable as real life, or is a more regimented structure more fun for the players? If you want to enter our 2021 giveaway, details are below. And if you're a winner this is the current list of games you get to pick from (more will be added throughout the year): Krosmaster QuestArkhanosCatalystQuest Time of HerosBlood Bowl (base game)High HeavensStop ThiefClank!Between Two CastlesAdrenalineCrusaders: Thy will be doneClash of RageDire WildFirefly AdventuresArena of the GodsMunchkin GloomThe Legand of the Cherry TreeSquarriors: The Card GameRenegadeArkham Horror: Final HourSteam RollersThe Century Spiced Road CollectionQuarriorsSpyfall 2Muchkin GloomHouse of DanagerIunuEx LibrisDungeon AllianceMunchkin QuestRace for the GalaxyThe Stonebound SagaWay of the PandaJim Hanson's LabyrinthBetrayal at House on the HillSpy ClubAlxes And Alies and ZombiesOne Night Ultimate Werewolf (collection) 2021 Giveaway Rules (subject to change at anytime for any reason) Email anytime during the year will give you 1 entry for the rest of the year.

Tabletop Game Talk - TGT 138 On Topic: RPGs Vs RPGs In A Box

04/09/19 • 63 min

Today we’re talking about Role Play Games vs. Role Play Games “in a box”. What do we mean by an RPG in a box? Do these games scratch the same itch as an RPG? And are they good gateways into full RPGs? Is this just an excuse to talk about role playing games? (spoiler alert, yes!) Email us at [email protected] - for questions and feedback.
