We try a new approach for this episode - we keep it short! In what is likely to be a series of episodes accompanying the longer format, we focus on a single model for Bushido, Yatsumata of the Ito Clan.

We're joined, at a safe distance, by Jason and James to discuss the recently released Coven boxed set for GCT's Bushido.

We invite that guy who bought The Banner Saga 2 without having played The Banner Saga 1 onto the podcast to talk about game meta but quickly digress, which will come as a shock to everyone, we're sure.

Recorded weeks ago, this episode features a quick catch-up on recently-played games followed by a discussion around "dead" games and whether them being "dead" is actually a bad thing.

https://robotdiceexplosion.podbean.com/

We catch up on what we've been doing since last time - mostly video games, house moves, and babygeddon - before moving, in a not-so-timely fashion, into a meandering discussion on pre-measuring in miniature games. As you can expect, we address all possible arguments and come to a conclusion which can't possibly fail to please all gamers out there.

We went on holiday to the Cotswolds and played a bunch of games. Then, we came home and played a bunch more. Probably a good idea to have a catch-up, then.

In this episode, originally recorded prior to episode 41, Ben and Ole discuss all the various Special Attacks and Defences available to players in Bushido. Recording was interrupted a couple of times, so please forgive the disjointed nature of this episode!

We take a road trip with Adam to compete at the first local tournament of the COVID era, "Year of the Risen Sun". Hear how we think it will go and how it actually went!

Take a look at all the lists people brought on the Bushido Discord channel.
