We're Not Wizards, Tabletop And Board Games Podcast

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.

Richard is joined by Eduardo Baraf, boardgame designer and creator of delights such as Heroes and Tricks and Lift Off - Get Me Off This Planet. We were absolutely delighted to have him on the show. We talk about games Eduardo has been enjoying, such as Potion Explosion and mention Scythe, before talking about his latest Kickstarter Campaign - Herbaceous, a flavourful card game all about collecting Herbs with some stunning artwork.  Links Of Note Potion Explosion and Scythe http://www.horrible-games.com/shop/catalog/potion-explosion/ http://stonemaiergames.com/games/scythe/ Herbacous can be backed here. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ebaraf/herbaceous-a-flavorful-card-game More of Eduardo's games can be found here http://www.pencilfirstgames.com/ You can Follow him here. https://twitter.com/ebaraf You can watch him here! https://www.youtube.com/user/EdoBarafu Facebook -    http://www.facebook.com/werenotwizards   Twitter.com -    http://www.twitter.com/werenotwizards   View us on iTunes -    https://i

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.

For our next Friends of the Show Episode, we are joined by fabulous Gary Butterfield who is one half of the Duckfeed.tv network. 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
