On the eve of NY Toy Fair, Ben and Rett sat down to make their calls for the coming year in games. This was way back in the old days of this past weekend, when Popes didn’t retire. That said, you’ll have to listen to find out how accurate they are. And how entertaining. And witty. And handsome. (I probably shouldn’t be allowed to right my own press). In any case, listen in for this year’s takes on everything from the RPG market to Miniatures and Historicals as well as the manufacturing climate and everything in between.

Didn’t disappoint. :) Really enjoy hearing your take on GW. The thought of them getting bought out made me smile. Love their games and minis, hate their company.
This isn’t in the podcast section. Please delete this post after fixing. Thanks again for the podcast.
Thanks Mike! I don’t know what will happen with GW, but your opinion is a pretty common one.
And Alex, I’m not sure why it wasn’t showing up in the right spot since it was tagged correctly, but it seems to be in the right place now. :)
I keep coming back to this podcast and enjoying what the hosts have to say. Thanks for continuing to produce these. As a casual board gamer and RPG player, this podcast’s insight into the industry is very interesting. I love to hear the inner workings of everything and in this industry, these two have some good things to talk about.
Please keep producing them and I agree with the guy who wrote in, please make at least 10 podcasts this year. We are rooting for you guys!
Guys? Just wanted to let you know I’m missing you. Hopefully all is well and you haven’t given up on the show.
We haven’t given up and we’re still alive, but Rett has been swamped this summer with his duties for Catalyst Game Labs. We’ve set and broken several dates to record shows, but hopefully we’ll be back once the summer show season dies down.
Great news Ben! Will look forward to hearing you guys again.
You still can make the 10 recordings in a year if you double down after the summer hullabaloo. Looking forward to you guys returning with some more news on the gaming front.
