Team Covenant

We had the amazing opportunity to sit down with Fantasy Flight Games Founder and CEO, Christian T. Petersen, at their World Championship Weekend back in November. Sit back and enjoy a rare interview with one of the most influential people in tabletop gaming.

After a long flu-mandated hiatus, we return to look at the most recent Chapter Pack for Fantasy Flight's A Game of Thrones LCG. There are some pretty good cards for every house so be sure to check out our review. Forgotten Fellowship is now available for purchase.

We managed to catch up with Steve Horvath, Senior VP of Communications at Fantasy Flight Games, for his thoughts on GenCon, Worlds, Organized Play, and, really, the world. You can find all our episodes and subscribe to our podcast on iTunes here. Intro: Dj Rashad - Everybody Outro: Hanon – 6to4

We happen to have access to our Tulsa Regional Champion, Tim Bunn, and he just happens to be a pretty impressive player.

It's time for a change around the podcast, and it comes in the form of refinement! We're dropping the news coverage to dive further into the things that we really love - the depths of these games. This episode kicks off with a MonCon wrap-up and then goes heavy into the Star Wars Card Game, with a focus on deck building. This was recorded just before Edge of Darkness, so it's a great foundation when incorporating the new cards! You can find all our episodes and subscribe to our podcast on iTunes here.

In this special episode of the TC Cast, join Steven and Jonathan as they discuss the new Torchbearer RPG with creators Thor and Luke from Burning Wheel HQ! If a game that is both an homage to classic D&D and an innovative step in dungeon crawling appeals to you, then join us for a journey into the minds of its creators. *Because Thor and Luke were in different locations, some audio quality sacrifices had to be made. Worth it for these two gents! You can find all our episodes and subscribe to our podcast on iTunes here. Intro: Djrum - Anchors (Instrumental) Outro: Hanon – 6to4

The Star Wars LCG is a game that continues to impress amid all of the initial skepticism. With the new force packs, Hoth themes, and variations seen at May 4th, it's proving itself to be a force (pun intended?).

It's a special episode this time around, with Steven and Robert taking the helm. But will they steer off-course with a cast idea they've termed "the lightning round"?

We'll see if it worked. 0:00 -  47:05 The Almighty Lightning Round - Game of Thrones -> Star Wars X-Wing -> Netrunner -> The Spoils -> Star Wars LCG -> Lord of the Rings LCG -> Infinity -> Burning Wheel/Roleplaying (General) You can find all our episodes and subscribe to our podcast on iTunes here.
