We’re back! On schedule! And this time, no one was sick, no computer died, the power didn’t go out … great! We now can add “No computers were harmed during the taping of this episode” to the credits, sweet.

We of course wrapped up our talk about Arcane Fire, then we discussed the state of the game after the Corruption Cycle, power creep and game evolution, netdecking, and the difficulties of preparing for small tournaments. We also talked about the Game Night Kits, and looked back at one of the best battle packs ever, The Burning of Derricksburg, which lead to a little talk about developments.

Also: Orcs! Waaagh!

… aka: One and a half men. Because one of us wasn’t at full strength for this episode. But that couldn’t stop us from discussing Jeremy’s article and the nature of luck in deck building games a bit. We also talked about all the cards in Faith and Steel, we looked back at Arcane Fire … and then something completely unexpected happened!

Good news, everyone! We’re back! Turns out a broken power supply can’t stop us. Because we have an army of hamsters and many, many running wheels.

We also have more terrible ideas for deluxe expansions, thoughts on Kaine’s thoughts on community building, thoughts on the Faith and Steel and Cataclysm previews, and thoughts on the Chaos poll as well as on Assault on Ulthuan. And after careful consideration we said all those thoughts out loud, because maybe you don’t just want to listen to us think. Or do you? Let us know, because you could save us an awful lot of work. And we’re really good at thinking at people.

We also raise heart cancer awareness and say goodbye to Daniel. Boom!

Wurrzag, everyone? We’re back! But we know it, you know it – we’ve had the world champion and the lead developer on, things can only go downhill from here. So we didn’t even try, we phoned it in. It being our card by card review of The Ruinous Hordes and our look back at Warpstone Chronicles.

And even though we didn’t even make an effort, and the show almost turned into a therapy session when Daniel talked about the women in his life (all two of them), we still managed to also almost talk to Brad Andres, bring you the latest Damon Stone news, remind you you still can submit your Invasion story and win a signed copy of Cataclysm, subtly promote our BGG page and this awesome new site Torsten only just discovered, and get you up to speed on all the hot LCG rumors!

You know how we always said we were going to talk to Lukas?

This time we did it.

We really don’t need to say anything more than that, do we?
