The Staying In Podcast - four pals talk video games, board games, movies, and nonsense


Cartographers, Hypnospace Outlaw, and Root - Ep107

July 14, 2020

00:00 - Exciting adventures with caffeine.
07:33 - "The Enid Blyton and George R. R. Martin crossover you didn't know you needed"... we finally get to play asymmetrical strategy game Root from Leder Games, via the wonderful Board Beans board game cafe.
18:47 - Hypnospace Outlaw, whether or not Zane rocks (he doesn't), the Space Jam website, and an explanation of what Yahoo! GeoCities was.
29:47 - Uncomfortable haircuts and a betrayal (sorry Tony).
33:35 - The best Pringles, plus "flip and write" Kennerspiel des Jahres nominee Cartographers: A Roll Player Tale from Thunderworks Games.
49:30 - A question from @lonegamesman, who asks: "do you consider Kickstarter (board game, video game or other form of project) a force for good or the downfall of civilisation? Or maybe something in between? Do you like what Kickstarter offers as a potential backer?"
All that, and six pockets full of despair, with Dan (@ThisDanFrost), Kris (@DigitalStrider), Sam (@MrSamTurner), and Peter (@XeroXeroXero).
