A new week, new topics, and a new mic! Now instead of being too low, I may be too loud in some spots. But we’re getting there. On this week’s episode we talk about Dicemasters, DnD, X-Wing Wave 8, and the big topic of the week – Magic Spoilers! If anyone out there has any suggestions as to what we should talk about next, leave a comment below and we’ll do our best.

 

Tune in next week where we’ll try to get Chase back on to tell us some sweet stories about his trip to Las Vegas and his experience at the GAMA trade show.

 

Enjoy the show!

‘Sword and Shield’ – Episode 4 – “Chase Comes To Visit”

Ugh, talk about a terrible tech week. The bad news is I’m still coming in low and Andrew had some internet issues. If you listen to the cast with some headphones, you should have no problem. Oh, the good news. I found the Gain control for my mic. So I should be coming in loud and clear next week. Thank goodness. Despite the troubles, Chase tells some cool stories, and you can bet we’re bringing him back for another round of storytelling. We also touch upon some new releases in the gaming world and I have them explain to me what Mysterium is. Enjoy the show.

‘Sword and Shield’ – Episode 3 – “X-Wings and D&D”

You know how I said third time was a charm? Okay, it might not be. But I swear, I’m going to get the audio right. If you want to help the show out, you could always get me a new mic (winks). This week, Andrew is back and we talk about X-Wings and D&D Encounters. If you’re a newbie and have always wanted to try out Encounters, then this is the episode for you. There’s also a small survey at the bottom of this page regarding Board Game Night! Which Sunday of the month works best for you? Also, there’s a Two Headed Giant tournament this weekend. So make sure you listen until the very end for the details! Thanks for listening.

‘Sword and Shield’ – Episode 2 – “It’s a Conspiracy!”

Hey everyone! We’re back with another episode of Sword and Shield. I guess some of you actually liked it, so we did another episode. This week, we’ve got Andrew Pegg-Wheat. If you’ve ever ordered a card from the store and recieved it by mail, Andrew is the guy who probably packed the card for you and shipped it. On this week’s episode, we talk about some Pokemon, Netrunner, and then tackle Conspiracy 2: The Empty Throne. However, Wizards has been having fun and changed the name again. Now it’s Conspiracy 2: Empty Throne!

 

Also in this episode, my mic sounded low. I’m always working on perfecting the sound quality, so let me know if you have any suggesstion (or if you want to buy me some professional equipment). Anyways, sit back and enjoy the show. Don’t forget to share it with your friends as well!

Sword And Shield Ep.1 – Are We On To Something?

It’s been a while. But we’re back and we’re trying something new here. We all know it’s impossible to get a minute alone with Derek Lloyd. Somehow, we were able to get him alone for almost an hour! In what could be a continuing series, Derek takes time from his busy day to talk about the store. We touch upon games we’re playing as well as some upcoming events at the store. Some of the other subjects we tackle include Eternal Masters, PAX East, and the move from Plainville to Norton.

 

 

Here’s a picture of the trophies he mentions for the 2HG tournament happening this weekend.

Falling Asleep While Playing Dungeons & Dragons

dungeons and dragons movie
 

As most of you know, sessions of Dungeons and Dragons can be very involving. I’ve started sessions at 4 PM and ended them the following morning around 7 AM. In some cases, I’ve gone into sessions with very little sleep. Thanks to technology, playing the game has gotten a little more convenient. I mean, you can play from the comfort of your own home. Just log into your computer and save up on gas money.

 

Thanks to Twitch, not only can you host your own D&D session, but other can come watch and witness the debauchery that can ensue.  However, in some cases, the game can be very taxing and can catch you at your weakest. Take a look at this video where one of the players has a little too much fun and starts snoring during the live stream. We’re all human and these things happen. But it’s so much better when others can see it as well. My favorite part is how the DM tries to wake up his PC.
