Welcome to our 150th Episode!!!
This week we're joined by a friend, and owner of one of our local game shops Alex. You've heard Alex with us before, talking about the Pittsburgh Gaming Expo (PGX) which he's also one of the organizers of. But this week he joins us to give some rather candid thoughts and opinions around the realities of running a gaming shop. This episode is a bit longer than usual, but we felt like it was time to give the view from yet another side of this hobby that we all love, so listen, and enjoy! And don't forget, support your local game shops!!! If you'd like to check out Alex's online shop, you can find it here!

This week we've got all kinds of fun! We talk with the creator of a cool new game, we grant honorary "Steve-dom" to a very cool guest, and we just have some good fun chatting!We're joined by Clifton Lambert of Fragging Unicorn Games to talk about his current project that's on Kickstarter called HellSlayers. You'll have to listen to get more details, but HellSlayers is a (mostly) Mork Borg powered game, inspired by the classic video game Doom, as well as elements of Roguelike, and a few other things! Folks, it's cool as hell! Links:

This week we're joined by a local (to us) creator that I met at PGX. Anthony "LibrarianNPC" DeMinico joins us to talk about his current Kickstarter for a really cool game called "Weeaboomers", which is a game for those of us who fall into the currently-way-too-middle-aged fans of 80's, 90's, and early '00's anime! You'll have to listen to get all the details, but I'll just say this game sounds awesome!Links for Anthony and his creations: Weeaboomers Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/librarianpc/weeaboomers/description

This week we're talking about the current Kickstarter from High Level Games, a game called Army Men, and we're joined by the head of High Level Games, Josh Heath (also of Werewolf: the Podcast and the OpCast), and the lead designer for the game, Neil Litherland.
Army Men is a 5e driven game about playing in the world of those classic molded figures we all played with, and can still find so easily to this day. The system has been tweaked and prodded for the setting, and having seen the manuscript, the game just looks like awesomely good fun!
