We're Not Wizards, Tabletop And Board Games Podcast

WARNING - Contains massive amounts of Scottishness that some listeners may find incomprehensible. Richard is joined by Kevin Young from Inspiring Games in the latest in the series of 'Work in Progress' episodes. We touch on how Kevin got into the hobby, and what inspired him to take it one step further and develop his own Card/ RPG Hybrid 'Legends Untold' Kevin was a whole lot of fun to speak with and we thank him for taking the time out of his busy schedule to come on the show.  Website http://www.inspiringgames.com/legends-untold/ Twitter www.twitter.com/inspiredtribe Youtube Playthrough (Courtesy of Ricky Royal) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8BcV9DE-RU Facebook www.facebook.com/inspiringgames Kickstarter -https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/505428038/legends-untold-as-deep-as-an-rpg-as-fast-as-a-card  Facebook -     http://www.facebook.com/werenotwizards    Twitter.com -     http://www.twitter.com/werenotwizards    If you like what you have heard, please take some time to Rate, Subscribe and Review

In a much overdue exclusive, we talk to John Harper and Greg Barr, both long term members of the Dunfermline Wargaming and Roleplaying Fellowship. Yes, this is the place where Colin and Richard first met, and where the idea for We're Not Wizards became a reality. This is the club where things just go cardboard and miniature crazy. But every year they run the event called Winter War, which aims to raise some money for worthwhile causes. So tune in as we discuss how they both got into the hobby all the way through to how we deal with potential Dancer invasions.

Hold on to your hats and scarves and dice as we head into autumn as Richard is joined by David, Amara and Brian from the D&D podcast, A Quest for Magic and Steele. Things start with a six handed clap, before we discuss playing T.I.M.E Stories and then the origins of the Magic and Steele podcast, the characters and of course, general nonsense and tangents just happen. We'd like to thank David, Amara and Brian for coming on to the show and we heartly recommend you give them a listen is you haven't done so and their podcast is both very accessible and entertaining.

In another Friends of the Show episode, we are joined by Bryan Wade, who is here to teach Richard all about the wonderful game of Magic the Gathering. Who is a great guest right up until the Last Minute. Then he is a big DISAPPOINTMENT. We touch briefly on the Adventure Time version of Love Letter. Then Bryan tells us about his go-to game Sheriff of Nottingham before we discuss the confusion often surrounding Netrunner before jumping head first into World of Magic the Gathering. We try to keep the jargon to the minimum so Richard doesn't get confused and we even ask the ultimate Magic Question - What Magic Card would Brad Pitt buy you if he wanted you to be his friend? At the end of it all, Richard might even be tempted to dive in and sample some Magic.. Please note that while we continue to mention Mr Jeremy Greer in a BAD LIGHT, understand that he is actually a very wonderful and amazing human being and me and Bryan think he is totally NOT THE WORST.

In our latest in our Work in Progress series we are joined by Duncan Molloy, designer for Osprey Games and all round genuinely delighful man. Richard gets all misty eyed as we dive back into both their childhoods and chat Heroquest, the terror of trying to get a perfect run in Pandemic Legacy, before Duncan becomes the detective and tells us about Sherlock Holmes, Consulting Detective. We then have a chat about Osprey Games, including some of the key games in their catalogue before Duncan tells us the tale behind their latest endeavour, rereleasing and updating the classic Escape from Colditz. It's utterly fascinating and told with a real passion and sincerity.

In another Friends of the Show special we are joined by the very talented award winning and award nominated and videogame writing (but not singing) and all round good person Kate Gray (pronounced Bob). Kate has written for a number of well known publications and websites and we were really pleased to have her on as a guest to talk all things cardboard. We start with a clap and we carry on from there to talk about what games Kate enjoys before diving into some of the more modern games available on the market. We then continue into art requests and questions before the police come along and cart us away. We thank Kate for givng us her valuable time and anyone who asked questions for the show.

WARNING There are some audio issues in this episode that hopefully don't detract from the interview.   Richard was delighted to be joined by Matt Gilbert, the COO of Mantic Games. Mantic Games are a UK based boardgame company that have released a popular range of games including Kings of War, The Walking Dead,  Dead Zone, Dreadball, Mars Attack and Dungeon Saga primarily using Kickstarter. Together they talk about Matt's history of boardgames before discussing the Dungeon Saga Kickstarter campaign, covering what was learned from the challenges they faced and what they have implemented for future Kickstarter projects. They also chat about plans for the future including the release of a Fighting Fantasy series of books, one of which Matt himself wrote.  Richard also gets a bit excited at the prospect of Star Saga, the newest IP from the company. We thank Matt very much for his time. You can find Mantic through the following channels Twitter - https://twitter.com/manticgames Star Saga - https://manticblog.c

In the second of our Work in Progress Episodes we are Joined by Gary Devereaux and Aidan Lorenzo from Underestimated games. We discuss their up and coming Kickstarter Skirmish game Purgatory where they give us a run down on how it works and what to expect if you back the campaign. The Campaign will go live on October 10th. (It looks really rather interesting indeed.)  This of course wouldn't be a We're Not Wizards episode if we didn't delve deeper with them and pick the tiny corners of their minds, so be prepared to find out about the gritty underbelly of the world of Monopoly collecting and why you don't play as the car.  As well as dealing with a visit to Games Workshop. To find out more about Purgatory please check out their Facebook, Twitter and Website that can be found below.

In the first of a new Series, Work In Progress looks at a new Kickstarter project and chats with its creative team. Joining us on this episode is Jim Keifer and his daughter Lucy, who will be talking about their Kickstarter for their moving tile, collaborative tabletop game "Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty's Web" We are more than aware that we have three people on this episode. We also have a special guest in the form of the gardener operating the leaf blower in the background of Jim's audio, so there the occasional blast of sound in the background. We edited him out where we could, but he still butted in and gave his opinion on Pandemic. The other thing to note is that part of this episode will potentially send you into some kind of nostalgia based haze and Jim tells us about his history working in the industry. Prepare to either be misty eyed. Or just think whut? It's nothing short of fascinating. Links of Note. Kickstarter Campaign -  https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/118555799/sherlock-holmes-and-mori

Do you remember the film Michael Caine starred with Kevin Spacey in the 70s? Or how about how long the gluten free aisle is in Tesco? If Pandemic did advent Calendars, what would happen? This, plus many other important topics are discussed between Richard and Sam Turner from The Staying In Podcast. We also talk about some boardgames, how Sam recently got involved in his six sided habit and much more.  Had a massive amount of fun. Hope you enjoy. We also need to warn you that the last 5 minutes of this show are quite frankly so full of scandal this may well be the last episode we release with a friend of the show.. It was so much fun, anything less than controversial would have been frankly unacceptable.

For our next Friends of the Show Episode, we are joined by Jeremy Greer. Jeremy runs his own podcast Don't Give Up Skeleton, which is based on the stories of fans of the Dark Souls series of games, as well as co-hosting the Dark Insight Podcast, which is a videogame related podcast. Jeremy is new to the boardgaming hobby, so we talk a few games he should consider picking up as a new player including Love Letter, Hive and Survive! Escape from Atlantis. He tells us about his experiences with Marrying Mister Darcy and how he dealt with being thrown into his first ever Dungeons and Dragons game.  In short - he loved it. We also have a good old chat about the Dark Souls Boardgame Kickstarter, and what our thoughts are on it.

Along with his co-host Kole Ross, he hosts a number of  successful podcasts including the Dark Souls focused Bonfiresidechat, The Retrogame look-back  Watch out for Fireballs and the hilarious Abject Suffering. We really appreciate the time Gary gave us and he was great fun to speak with.  Gary gives us his thoughts on Codenames, RPG campaigns and we manage to pretty much avoid talking Dark Souls until near the end, where Gary reveals a startling revelation.  For those unfamiliar with his work, please visit the Duckfeed website http://duckfeed.tv/ You can find Gary on Twitter - https://twitter.com/garybuh We even splashed out on some spy related theme music courtesy of http://www.bensound.com/royalty-free-music Which we will probably change for next time now we know how to do it.  Facebook -    http://www.facebook.com/werenotwizards   Twitter.com -    http://www.twitter.com/werenotw

In our latest Friends of the Show edition, we reach across the pond and have a chat with Jon Gilmour which unearths one of the funniest and interesting stories we've heard about getting into the hobby. We were really pleased he took the time out to talk to us and it's certainly worth a listen.   Jon, along with Isaac Vega were responsible for the creation of Dead of Winter, a personal favourite of Richard's. He has been involved in a number of other games which he was happy to talk about as well as telling us what he likes to get to the table. We talk about Kickstarter and the choices in the route to market and finish up with his latest game in progress, the extremely interesting looking Wasteland Express.  We answered some questions and general had a bit of fun. Even though Richard does comes across as Captain Fanboy.  Shout Outs You can follow Jon on twitter https://twitter.com/JonGilmour Give Isaac Vega a follow too - www.twitter.com/isaacsashes Flick em up is by Pretzel Games - SORRY!! http://www.pretzelg

In a first of a series we have the rather wonderful Paddy Stardust on to Co-Host with Richard while Colin is off causing all sorts of mayhem.  Really grateful for his time and he had plenty to talk about. For those who aren't aware, Paddy is the one of the hosts of the fantastic Twin Humanities podcast. Along with CJ, they spend their time talking about things related to Dark Souls and on the other side, talk about all things wonderful and interesting in the land of Geek. They are bloody wonderful at it as well. They even have intro music!! Got These to the Table Paddy tells us some of the board games he played as a younger nipper including Frustration, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and the Fabulous Tower of Terror.  He moves on to chat about RoboRally and Pathfinder RPG and Space Alert.  Paddy then talks about The Pathfinder adventure card game, The Star Trek Next Gen Interactive Game and the fabulous Dungeonquest. Get These Off The Shelf  Paddy also talked about games he would love to get hold of including
