Drunk Dice

Will and Donnie talk about a fun cooperate game from Kickstarter called Set a Watch. We also solve the intractable problem of proper branding for the board game lifestyle. 

On this week's episode, Will and Donnie talk about the new game Dragonscales from publisher Arcane Wonders. 

Will and Donnie sit down to drink and discuss their newest Kickstarter fulfillment, Fantastic Factories. This is a board game ostensibly about factories, but are they REALLY fantastic?

The boys are back in town! Donnie and Will are back for Season 3, kicking it off with the biggest, thiccest game to ever exist... Gloomhaven. Plus, find out why they were gone (Donnie had some big life changes), and remember why you hate-listened to them in the first place.

Donnie is almost done with Army stuff, so it's time to start releasing episodes again! This is an interview he did in June with Stefan Bachmann, game designer for the fantastic tactical game Halfway, and upcoming game Pathway. We talked about both games and if you listen to the episode you just might learn how to get some free games. 

Donnie and Will's most recent obsession is the deckbuilding roguelike called Slay the Spire. It's Will's most-played single-player game ever (pushing 400 hours) and in this episode, they try to explain why it's so good.  We also want to formally apologize for this episode title. We're ashamed, too.

The creative duo behind Shadows of Adam (one of our favorite games from 2017) join us to chat about their favorite SNES-era RPGs. And make dick jokes? Par for the course, really. (There are some wonky audio issues on this one -- apologies!)

After a grueling day of board gaming, Donnie and Will sit down to babble middle-of-the-night thoughts about the beautifully frustrating and enthrallingly complex Through the Ages, by designer Vlaada Chvatil. There are a lot of rules. A lot. Of rules.

Donnie is flying solo this week (because Will was attending SmackDown... yes, seriously) and sits down to chat with Stephen Dewey, the creator/designer behind several RPG systems (you probably know him from Ten Candles). He has a new system hitting Kickstarter called Gather: Children of the Evertree and we've got a first look!

We send Leigh off to Los Angeles with a tearful farewell and a whole lot of booze. Also we talk about party games. 

We talk to Tyler Mire, composer and creative mind behind the new JRPG Shadows of Adam. 

This week, we drink the Golden Girl Blonde Ale from Triple C Brewing in Charlotte and talk about the drafting and engine building game Seasons. 

In this episode, Donnie discusses one of his all-time favorite games: Super Mario RPG. He tries to establish if it's still good if played from a neutral perspective (spoiler alert: it is).

After a lengthy hiatus, the guys are back! Will and Donnie slur their way through a middle-of-the-night discussion with Parker and Brock about Machi Koro. Will also rants about Bingo. Nobody is sure why.

You hear the hilarious vocal stylings of friend of the show Ben Ferber. His great jokes fill you with determination....

On our very special Memorial Day 2016 episode, Will and Brock are joined by friend of the show David Vance.
