We're Not Wizards, Tabletop And Board Games Podcast

You're awesome. You're worthwhile. You're unique and fantastic.  Never forget that.  That's been some of the beliefs behind Orange Nebula since they first brought Vindication to Kickstarter, that they were looking to build something different than just a customer base.  Now with one campaign down, and multiple plans for 2019, we asked Marc, Lacey and Tom on the show to talk about their success, and their vision and what they are trying to achieve with their company. I really like their style and who they are as people, and I'm lucky to get to call them friends. 12 minutes in, we're talking about heated toilets in the office.  Its that kind of episode.. You're Welcome.  LINKS OF AMAZING NOTES https://www.facebook.com/orangenebula/  https://twitter.com/OrangeNebula  https://twitter.com/BigTomCasual  https://www.instagram.com/orangenebula/  +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ If you like what you have heard, please take some time to Rate, Subscribe and Review us on APPLE PODCASTS. https://itune

Richard and Frank sit back and chat about his ongoing campaign to dominate everything in the tabletop space while standing around waiting for it to happen..  And much to Richard's complete jealousy, it appears to be.  Frank has been on the show a number of times, but this time there are slight audio skips and an amazing bit towards the end.  We think Frank is the best and we encourage you to listen to find out why.  LINKS OF NOTES  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0bqwb3KMx60K119mmj5VQA https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgamepublisher/35566/city-games https://www.facebook.com/CityofGamesHQ https://twitter.com/cityofgameshq https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tcokgame/the-city-of-kings-ancient-allies-and-vadoran-garde?ref=profile_created  http://thecityofkings.com/ http://thecityofgames.com/   +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ If you like what you have heard, please take some time to Rate, Subscribe and Review us on APPLE PODCASTS. https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/were-not-wizards/id108419
