Behind The Shield – Episode 18 – “Ramblin’ On”

Friday, June 10th, 2016

It’s a pretty slow week this week. So a lot of the talk you’re going to here is just Andrew and I rambling. But I think it’s fun. Consider it random story telling time! And who doesn’t like listening to a bunch of stories? Also, if you’re planning on getting on a plane soon, then this might be the episode for you since I’ll be leaving for a trip in a couple of days and we discuss TSA protocol. I get a little confused about what I can pack and what I can pack. It’s a shame too, I really wanted to bring some of my grenades. I guess that won’t be happening any time soon. Enjoy the episode!

This week we take on the Spiel Des Jahres and I butcher the name every time I try to say it. While we haven’t played most of the games in the lists, it does open our eyes to a whole world of other games we need to play. So come in and listen to this week’s episode and discover some new games for you to play.

This week, Andrew and I are joined by a special guest – Alex Moon. He’s on this week to talk about his experience playing Warhammer 40K. We also pick his brain about how to get into the game as a beginner. More importantly, we talk about the decline of the game and what can be done to help preserve it and help maintain a healthy level of competitiveness.

Behind The Shield – Episode 14 – “A Friday the 13th Spooktacular”

Friday, May 13th, 2016

It’s Friday the 13th! So you know what that means! Okay, it doesn’t mean much. It’s just another week and another episode. But there are some exciting things that Andrew and I do talk about like Captain America, Eternal Masters, and more. Andrew’s even working on a board game that I get excited about; maybe more than him? HAHA

 

Ps. You’re reading the title correctly, it says episode 14. What happened to episode 13? Maybe it’s bad luck or maybe it’s locked away in Prince’s vault. It exists, but no one is sure where it is…

 

Also, if you’re interested in registering for the Eternal Masters events, here’s the link we talk about: http://bit.ly/1R1pzaI
