I believe many gamers want to improve in the game but don't have as much time to play. Therefore the content I do are meant to help players improve in skill between getting to play actual games.

Join us as we chat about supporting Mantic games so that they can continue to grow as a company and give us good games and better minis. Featuring Fred Oslow from Norway (Giant Dwarf Podcast), Bryan Novak from USA (Deadzone the Podcast), Felix Castro from USA, Kit and General Gaddafi from Singapore.
