Absolutely delighted to be joined by Marc, Lacey and Tom from Orange Nebula to chat about the success of Vindication, their current campaign for Unsettled on Kickstarter and why they are one of our favourite boardgame designers and all round favourite people.  If you haven't checked out the campaign yet, then you have a couple of weeks left, but being in the Orange Nebula community is an experience in itself. So even join for a dollar to get involved. It's extremely positive to be part of.  Links of Notes  https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/orangenebula/unsettled-board-game https://orangenebula.com/the-outpost/the-outpost-podcast-e01/ https://orangenebula.com/ https://twitter.com/orangenebula https://www.facebook.com/orangenebula/ https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgamepublisher/36015/orange-nebula-llc https://www.youtube.com/c/orangenebula OUR LINKS OF NOTES  Apple Podcasts     Our Blog, Reviews, Previews and Thoughts  Our YouTube Channel Our BGG Guild  Board Game Geek Page  Website   Facebook  Twitter  Insta

AND ITS MEGA.  Links of Notes Megagames are massive day-long experiences that blend roleplaying, board game-style mechanics, social gameplay and model-UN style simulation to a venue filled with anywhere from 30 to 300 players. Though the themes of games can range from sci-fi colony planets all the way to medieval courts, the unifying feature is simulating a massive, confusing crisis or conflict, and seeing how the existing structures and factions deal with the challenges of information and communication that the situation brings.Links: https://giantbrain.co.uk/2019/10/05/watch-the-skies-diary/Watch The Skies - Shut Up & Sit Down Play a Goddamn Megagame!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=
