Owen and Chris talk have resorted to the lowest levels of shillery and talk about Owen's new game, Sunshard:Embren, which is running a Kickstarter starting on November 19th. In all seriousness, if you liked Dark Age, it's worth giving this game a look.

What more needs to be said?

Oh, I guess a little bit more! We're back, with a seasonal set of releases rather than appearing in pog form. Why? Beyond not having Privateer Press licensing off the majority of their IPs to Steamforged Games on our Keno cards, because we felt like it. Look forward to some episodes released in clusters as our time allows.

And remember, you can kill a wargame. You can't kill a podcast about dead wargames!

Bryan CP Steele racks up his third appearance on DWS to talk about the Kickstarter for Warzone Eternal.

Note: On Friday May 27th, Res Nova announced that they were pulling down the Warzone Eternal Kickstarter to refocus their efforts.  Res Nova owner Alex talks about the decision here.  We wish them the best of luck with the project and look forward to backing it once it returns to Kickstarter.

We're back!

Our intrepid hosts return after 9 months of solitude. Hear about Chris' visceral hatred of Chicago cuisine because a deep dish pizza went all Al Capone on his finger. Owen's pretty much the same. We're pretty sure that's not in the "pro" column of things.

Just kidding and in  all seriousness, we're sorry to do this, but Chris and I have a lot of "life" stuff going on right now and need to press pause on the podcast for a few months so we can, collectively, get married, sell a house, and potentially move.  We're planning on being back around Thanksgiving.  In the mean time, come hang out with us at ArmourCon and CaptainCon, post pics of minis from your favorite dead game on our Facebook page, and/or come chat in our Discord.  Thanks to all of you who have been listening thus far; we hope to be back on the digital airwaves soon!

In the grim past of Games Workshop's intellectual property, there is only (narrative) war(gaming).

Avid narrative wargamer and hobby legend Dave Taylor joins us again to talk about the Games Workshop game Inquisitor and the fan movement it sparked called "Inq28".  If you've seen that term around wondered where it came from, this episode is for you.

Also, we talk about seafood.  If you're Australian, prepare to get mad.

"We can get this game picked back up; Blood Bowl did it!" is a refrain most players of dead games have heard before.  But what did the Blood Bowl community do to get GW to pick the up after 7 years of no support?  Nate Beem, president of the NAF (Blood Bowl tournament organization and very large Blood Bowl community) joins us to tell the story of how Blood Bowl became the most famous "resurrected" dead wargame and shares some tips on how other communities can move towards that.

Bonus episode!

Chris and I started recording episodes that aren't tied to specific dead wargames that we'll release as either bonus episodes or put out in cases where we can't keep to the biweekly schedule for some reason (e.g., in cases of personal emergencies or guests that have to reschedule).  We're calling these episodes "Sideboards", not giving them episode numbers, and using different intro/outro music.  We still try to keep these tied to dead wargames (don't worry, we're moving into movie reviews or anything!), but they will won't be as tightly focused on a single dead game as our other episodes.

For this Sideboard, we talk to Seppy Yoon of Fight in a Box Games, who many US listeners probably know from conventions.  We talk game design, trends in gaming, and Chris makes an impassioned plea for all listeners, no, all citizens of the world, to see the Ron Perlman classic "Mutant Chronicles".  OK, I guess maybe we are toeing into movie reviews....  I blame Chris.

Bryan joins us for a second time to talk about his work on Dark Age, a game we may or may not mention in nearly every episode.  Bryan was kind enough to spend some time answering our fan-boy questions about where the background of the game was going when it stopped.  If you're into the oral history of this game's development, this is a must-listen.

If Dark Age had made it to it's 40th anniversary, would it have become Dark Middle Age?

Chris and Owen talk about the tabletop wargame "Warzone" which was launched in the wake of the runaway success of the 2008 movie "Mutant Chronicles".  Bryan CP Steele, renowned Thomas Jane scholar, joins us to muse on how necromutants are really an analogy for the railway strikes of the early 1910's.  We also field some questions about some game called "Dark Age", which we've never heard of before.

In all seriousness, we're incredibly grateful for Bryan CP Steele, currently of Rez Nova games, for stopping by and giving us a detailed history of the Mutant Chronicles/Warzone universe and for spoiling some information on the upcoming Warzone game: Warzone Eternal, which he is designing. Warzone's a classic dieselpunk game that's some weird mix of the themes of Warhammer 40K mixed with an Image Comics aesthetic and storytelling.  Older listeners may be familiar with the other games set in the same setting, such as the Mutant Chronicles RPG or the Doom Trooper CCG.

No links, or Dad joke this week.  I'd normally add them, but we have nothing to link to in terms of games/social media and I'm tired.  You might even say, I lack the CONstitution to do something....

Battletech, you know it, you vaguely remember it from playing Mechwarrior 2 and/or the 2018 Harebrained Schemes Studios PC game.  It's a huge universe and a tabletop game that's been going strong for longer than many listeners have been alive.  Why is that?  We tackle that question with Battletech-enthusiast/noted Capellan-apologist Bobby Limmogio.

Note: Apologies for some audio weirdness on this one.  Our recording solution, CraigBot, has been misbeheaving a lot lately.  Bad Craigbot!

One technical correction: Battledroids was designed by Jordan Weissman as per Sarna.net, but future editions of Battletech have added additional designers.  I should have clarified that I was referring to the first edition of the game in my summary.  We also got a lot of things slightly wrong.  However, since social media comments were designed for pedantry, we're leaving those in so you can tell us we're stupid.  Yay, engagement!

This episode has a lot of profanity.  Like, a lot.  I do my best to ensure any episodes with profanity gets marked explicit, but this one is extra, extra explicit.  Send the kids to bed before putting this on.

Welcome to the first episode of the Dead Wargamers Society, a podcast dedicates to the discussion of no longer supported tabletop miniatures games!  Hosts Chris and Owen introduce themselves and let listeners know what to expect from this podcast.  If you like what you hear, give us a like and stick around for more great content about dead wargames.

Andrew Galea of Gunmeister Games joins us to talk about the original version of Judgement, a 54 mm scale skirmish wargame.  Recenrly, Judgement underwent a significant set of changes and became Judgement: Eternal Champions, a 32 mm scale wargame played on a hex mat released in conjunction with Creature Caster.  Andrew walks through what's changed, what was left behind in version 1, and correctly identifies that deep dish "pizza" is the American equivalent of Vegemite.

Note 1: There's some weird audio interference on Andrew's audio, caused by either Outback noises or men at work (as in men working, not the band).  We've removed as much of it as possible, but unfortunately, some still slips through.  Chris also has some unusual clicking in his audio.  We've tracked this down to his headphone cable hitting the mic or his processing of Taylor Ham during recording.  A corrective and preventative action plan has been put in place to make sure this doesn't happen again.

Note 2: Around the 58 minute mark, we called Andrew our first international guest.  Chris correctly pointed out that we had Ash Baker on, one of the leading drivers of Canada's GDP.  Owen was under the impression that America had already annexed the nation of Tim Hortons.  He attributes this error to his public school education.

Some corrections: Owen referenced "DSG Games", when he should have referenced "DGS Games".  He also said "iteratively" when he should have said "recursively".  Don't drink and podcast, kids!
