In the grim past of Games Workshop’s intellectual property, there is only (narrative) war(gaming). Avid narrative wargamer and hobby legend Dave Taylor joins us again to talk about the Games Workshop game Inquisitor and the fan movement it sparked called “Inq28”.  If you’ve seen that term around wondered where it came from, this episode is […]

What the heck’s a Kryomek?  Venerable wargamer David Moffit helps us answer this question, and more like “Was Kryomek a good game?” and “Do Kryomek’s taste like chicken?” on this week’s episode.   Also, Mr. Moffit discusses his Dark Age Immortals community event.   Come for aliens, stay for the dead games!
