Dr. Patrick Rael from Bowdoin College and the Ludica blog on BGG rejoins the show to get wonky about history in games! In Part One of our exploration, we discuss whether war games indeed tell better history than Euro games. Dr. Rael believes that is the current state of things, but it does not have to be so.

Jason Furie from Backerkit joins the show to share about an exciting new initiative in crowdfunding! We're used to Kickstarter being the main home for crowdfunded projects. Backerkit has been in the game for 10 years as a pledge manager and providing other services, so they are now making the leap to provide an alternative that emphasizes listening and a ground-up approach. Jason gets into building community, listening to creators, upcoming projects from Cephalophair Games, Greater Than Games, Restoration Games, and more!

Famed game designer Bruno Faidutti joins the show for a civil discussion about our different perspectives as gamers and game creators. We discuss the differences between American and European tastes and sensibilities, how things have changes over the years, and how different gamers get different messages when they engage with a game on the table. This was a wide ranging and interesting conversation between two people who don't see the world in quite the same way, but who were able to find some common ground. I hope this serves as a model for similar types of conversations in our hobby moving forward.

Jason welcomes Greg Loring-Albright back to the show after completing his PhD in game stuff! We lead off the show talking about his latest game from Leder Games, Ahoy! It will be available for pre-order at the Leder Games website soon - www.ledergames.com. We then get into Greg's thesis about tabletop games and digital adaptations. Greg found many gamers have found ways for them to coexist, so his discusses his experiences and research there. Finally, we discuss games as media, including the kinds of messages they can and cannot share with us.

Jason is very pleased to share about Puerto Rico 1897 - a new story for the classic game! This video follows up on the official announcement on a recent BGG Blog. In this short reflection, I discuss the most common piece of critical feedback: the idea that it's bad to play a "bad guy" in a game. In short, it's fine to play a bad guy, but it matters how it's done. I think war games have done a better job than Euro games. I articulate my reasoning here.
