Here we go! Welcome to Havoc Brigade!, a game written by Grant Howitt, and available here -- https://gshowitt.itch.io/havoc-brigade
Admittedly, this game does seem to feel a bit more lively and fun when played around an actual table, and it one continuous session. That said, we all had fun playing it, and I hope you all enjoy listening to our madness!
It's also worth noting that we did take this rather "cartoony" quite quickly, and it certainly does not have to be played that way. However, as much as we mention this game, we also felt like yall should hear us play it!
 
The Cast:
     "New Steve" -- 'Sergent' Shivvit Deadeye, half-orc infiltrator
     Ben -- Moontoof, Wyrdforest Shaman
     Terry -- The Goblins (Stinky Pete, Stab, Snot, Brain, Bang, and Gobblit)
     Eric -- The Ox
     Hagan -- Profanius, devout Paladin of Bog-Al-Karukk
     "Old Steve" -- GM

One Steve is freshly back (and still tired from) GNC9, the other is still sad he couldn't make it, and so we invited 2 other folks from the GamerNation to join us for a recap of the festivities! And first off, apologies to those who didn't get mentioned, but if you were there, there's just so much fun going on that as you remember stuff other things slip through the gamer-brain!  But we hope you enjoy our  somewhat brief recap of the fun and enjoyment that is GamerNationCon, and frankly, we hope to see any of you who were there again next year, and any who weren't there, we also hope to see you next year!

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!
