The year 2020 has been a year coloured by change. Changes in many ways have touched many people's lives. Paragons of Change is a series of interviews with people from boardgaming sphere whom I’ve noticed going through changes in recent times. We talk about change and what they have changed in their lives. By default we do not claim we state facts, we only talk from our own points of view and our opinions.

As the discussion might take a negative note, we try finish with a positive – by giving you a Top9 list of games. The topic of the list has been chosen by the guest and we will have a “battle of the lists” after the episode airs in my social media channels – you, dear listener, are encouraged to comment and vote on the lists to see which one of us did better.

The fourteenth Paragon in the series is the former minion of The Dice Tower and current US community manager of Mythic Games, Sam Healey! We talk about weather differences between the Northern and Southern US, Sam's time at The Dice Tower and his current job at Mythic games. Sam tells about his past a bit and we discuss on reviewing games as well as teaching and ponder the effects of the last year for the society and people. We of course finish with a top9 list of games with a hidden topic this time - you are able to guess it if you know Sam.

Comments are welcome, hope you enjoy this bit and will be back for rest of the series. Voting for our Top9's will commence some time after this episode drops.

Top9 starts at about 1:11:50 and the topic is for you to guess this time - you can do it!

This episode is recorded 12th of February 2021.

Spirit of The Grove (demo 2018)

Grimwater - The Spirit of the Grove

The Spirit of the Grove

I'm back!! Season 3 of the podcast begins with a simple talk about my experience in Poland attending Portalcon in January 2019.

S03-E01 - A New Season & PortalCon

Quite a packed episode today!

Firstly I give details on what I'm doing regarding AIRECON, an annual convention in Harrogate, UK run by Mark Cooke that I attend each year.

Second, it's time to actually talk about games I've played, so here are my initial impressions of Sentient, Res Arcana and Stone Age Anniversary Edition.

Thirdly based on a debate online, I give a little mini talk/rant about how people define "theme" in games and why it's important for reviewers to call a game out on it.

S03 - E02 - AIRECON & THEME

Ep. 26 - Carpe Diem & Forum Trajanum Review

Well in general I will be doing 30 minute episodes give or take but this was a special case. Jeremy Howard of ManvsMeeple got in touch with me and asked if we could do a chat over Skype. Of course I jumped at the chance and as you might imagine, we talked for........A LONG TIME.......so much so that I didn't want to do 3 separate episodes for one conversation. So after a poll was held, I decided to release it all as one bumper episode!

The introduction to the show goes into detail about the circumstances and then we get right into 75 minutes of conversation about everything from games to theme to publishers to cats to relationship advice. This was great fun to do but a pain to edit!
