Paper Money #63: Monte Cook Exits WotC, Big Month for Minis

We thought we’d do a wonderfully long, sprawling show talking about nothing but Miniatures games. We were wrong. We ended up doing a bang-bang 40 minute show talking about D&D designer Monte Cook’s departure from Wizards of the Coast, Hasbro’s first quarter blues and *then* talk about Adepticon’s ascension and Little Wars retention in the miniature market (that’s sort of a pun, really as the miniatures market is quite small, mostly).
Next show: Right smack on top of Origins at the end of May. (Origins? End of May? I know. I know.). We’ll be talking summer gaming and revisit Kickstarter.

Hey there gents! For some reason, whenever I came here, your new podcast posts didn’t show up until about 4 days ago. I thought you guys were too busy or something, but I’m glad I was wrong. Was there an issue with the site or just me? I haven’t listened to any of the ‘new’ shows (60-63) but just wanted to tell you how excited I am to listen. Keep it classy strangers and I’ll hear you next time.
No it wasn’t just you. It was me making a change on Ben of tags vs. categories then failing to watch to make sure everything was right. A few days ago I noticed and fixed it.
Thanks for being persistent.
Hi guys. Very good episode. I’ve been meaning to write for some time and tell you how much I enjoy the show. You bring topics and perspective I don’t hear anywhere else, and present it in any interesting and relaxed way. I never come away disappointed or thinking I hadn’t learned something. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, Jeff! And thanks, Alex, for hanging in there! Our next episode will be the long awaited “All About Boxes” episode that I’m sure you will all want to listen to as a sleep aid! Who doesn’t want to know about the difference between full and half telescope!
