A podcast about the tabletop gaming hobby. We focus on special guests, reviewers, artists, and others that share the same passion for the hobby as we do.
Jason Hancock, Jason Washburn, Tessa Van Boxtel
This week has a little different format, a throwback to our earlier episodes with different special guests. This week, Game Designer and Publisher Artem Safarov (Cauldron, Unbroken) sits in our hot seat to chat about his hot, new solo game Unbroken, games he's been playing with his kids, Kickstarter, and much, much more.
A new discussion about games we've been playing, especially one of Hancock's favorite games disappointing play, and our usual round up of Kickstarter goodness.
This week's short topic list is games we've been playing, including Le Havre, The Last Garden, and more. Also, our round up of spectacular Kickstarter campaigns you aren't going to want to miss!

The Jason's are back! We start off the new year talking about Last Jedi and tabletop games we've recently had on the table! Hancock heads north to OrcaCon to play games, and Wash heads to G3 to supplement his gaming appetite. Also talk about King's Champion and Vinyl, both games by Talon Strikes Studios. One is being received by backers as we speak, and the other we are prepping for Kickstarter in March! Also, our normal segment about Kickstarter games and projects we are backing.
Post BGGCon was rough for the Jason's as the sleep deprivation, traveling, and ConCrud crept into their lives but they have bounced back and ready to talk about their shenanigans at the one of their favorite conventions. They are joined by a friend of theirs, special guest, Katrina Demeanour, who is a photographer, blogger, playtester, demoer, heavy gamer, and all around amazing person who we have had the privilege to hang out with the last couple of BGGCons.

We're back! This time, Wash and Jason are sitting in their virtual studio, chatting about two conventions they recently attended, PDXAge in Portland, Or. and Phoenix Comicon in Phoenix, AZ. That is, until the conversation quickly sidetracked to the recent Gamestop news that they will start carrying board games and our thoughts about the subject. Than the usual Kickstarter round up.

This episode is a little different than most of our episodes. Wash and I did a live Google Hangout during the final hour of King's Champion and invited our backers to join us for questions and answers as we counted down the final minutes of King's Champion's Kickstarter. We had a blast doing this and hope you enjoy listening to it in this latest episode post Kickstarter style.

Welcome back folks to another episode of Docking Bay 94 Podcast! At the time we recorded this last week, King's Champion wasn't quite funded as we mentioned in the podcast, but now we are completely funded and unlocking stretch goal after stretch goal! So, just keep in mind during those conversations that we are excited to bringing King's Champion to life! As per our usual episode, we talk about our favorite gaming moments since our last recording and Kickstarter round up. We also dive into the question on everyone's mind. What is a Hybrid? We talk about the differences between Euro and Ameritrash, and how they are being combined to create unique gaming experiences that we like to call Hybrid Games. So, sit back and fill your ear holes with our rounds of discussion!

Ok This is odd. I could have sworn I had uploaded this last Friday when it was suppose to drop, but looking over the stats, I am perplexed what had caused the error to not publish. There are no signs of it archived anywhere, so my apologies for this dropping way later than I had anticipated! With that said, Wash and I talk about our next project, our two player Euro-Amerithrash hybrid called King's Champion, ready to launch on Kickstarter end of March. We also talk about games we've been playing, and our Kickstarter round up! Sorry about the delay and enjoy!

First off, I just want to apologize to Levi and Daily Magic Games for not getting this out while Merchants of Araby campaign was running on Kickstarter. Between life, editing issues, and technology just hating on me in general, I wasn't able to turn this episode around as quickly as I would have liked. There is still a lot of great information about playtesting, games we've been playing, and other inside the hobby talk to be found. Of course, if Merchants of Araby is something that interests you, it isn't too late to pre order it. Also, be sure to check out Go Nuts for Donuts by Daily Magic Games on Kickstarter right now!

Summer keeps ticking along, and the chaos of moving digs its paws deeper into it. I'm close to seeing the end of the move and by the end of August life should be grounded and stabilized and content should be back to its regular schedule. Until than, I apologize for the sparse content through the months of July and August and Wash and I would like to thank all of our listeners for their patience and loyalty through it all. This episode includes Ian from Magic Meeple Games talking about Kickstarter, his game Fire of Eidolon on Kickstarter right now, and many other games and subjects.

Summer, why do you have to be so chaotic! I apologize for our unscheduled hiatus for most of July. My Yeti microphone had crapped out on me right before the Fourth of July Weekend. After the holidays, I was able to get a hold of Blue to help me take care of the problem, which they happily did! All I have to say is “Thank You, Blue!” They’re customer service was phenomenal. They advised me that Yeti microphones have a two year warranty, (which I wasn’t aware of) and I just had to send mine to them and if there was a defect, they would promptly send me a new one, which they did. So, if you are a podcaster, looking for a new mic, be sure to check out what Blue has to offer. They haven’t disappointed me yet! So, pair that with just life in general being busier than normal, and July is already gone by! I apologize in the delay with our programming. BUT! WE have fixed this today! In this week’s new episode, Moe from Club Fantasci joins me again to talk about a GM less RPG called Labyrinth by Chris Zimmerman.

If you are looking for something to pass the time away as you wait for the Fourth of July, Independence Day, activities to kick in to high gear, or it's just another dreary boring Monday for you, than we have a treat for you! So, just sit down with Wash, our guest, Nathan Kohatsu, and I, as we chat about our gaming origins, Kohatsu's top five games of all time, and games we've been playing. Happy Independence Day to all who celebrate and a late Happy Canadian Day to all our friends North of us! Of course, I hope everyone else's Monday goes as well or better as a Monday can go! Cheers!

We stumble upon many topics ranging from the digital implementation of the Pathfinder ACG, Apocrypha, to an upcoming Lords of Vegas expansion to crossword puzzles and more.
I wanted to take a quick moment to say to all the veterans and their families around the world, for they have given up more than many of us can comprehend. "Thank you. I know the words themselves can never be enough, but I hope the appreciation that underlies those words start to be."

We had some hiccups and technical difficulties with a wire short with one of the mics, but overall it came out pretty well.

After a week away from the mics, we are back. We were excited when Anthony from the Cardboard Jungle podcast wanted to join us and chat about the board game industry. His specialty, other than talking to his two partners on their podcast, and pushing chits and rolling dice, is helping publishers and volunteers find each other, as well as being a volunteer himself for many years now. If you've ever wondered how you can be more involved with the board game companies you love, or a new or old publisher looking for tips and how-to's for gathering minions to help you at the conventions, or you just want to hear three old guys ramble about board games and the industry that fuels our habits, than this is the perfect episode for you! 17:03 Volunteering Anthony's email for volunteers: CardboardCorps@gmail.com 1:04:51 Kickstarter Projects Mentioned Walking With Ramona, Overlords of Infamy, Watchmen of Destiny, Ancient Sands, Dirty Cops, Red Dragon Inn: Battle For Greyport, Prism Dice Important Links: Anthony's Twitter Cardboard Jungle Podcast Anthony's Volunteer Email Address CardboardCorps@gmail.com Pathological Nerdcasters Network Docking Bay 94 Podcast Page Link Docking Bay 94's Stitcher Link Docking Bay 94's iTunes Link Jason Hancock's Twitter Jason Washburn's (Talon Strikes) Twitter link Talon Strikes Facebook Page Link Talon Strikes Homepage

Sorry to be running a little late this week, but I think you will find the content well worth it. Since Wash has been busy prepping and preparing for the House of Borgia Kickstarter fixing to launch on February 15th, I asked Moe to stop by our virtual studio and hang out for this week's belated episode. This actually works out perfect since we both had received review copies of Victory Points Hearty Health Hospital at BGGCon last year. This gives us a chance to review and discuss about the cooperative game at length. We also talk about our time spent on Tabletopia playing Draco Magi and our impressions of the virtual world that is invading our tabletop space. Of course, a podblast wouldn't be complete without talking about some Kickstarter projects on Kickstarter right now, and reveal two projects Moe and I have received lately that failed in their delivery of the final product. 5:00 Games Played Section: Healthy Heart Hospital, Draco Magi, Tabletopia 17:00 Kickstarter Projects: e-solo-e, Polyversal 6mm Mini Game System, Gato Leader and U-Boat Leader, Karmaka, Zero Hour, Mercs Recon 42:35 Healthy Heart Hospital Review Important Links: Pathological Nerdcasters Network Docking Bay 94 Podcast Page Link Docking Bay 94's Stitcher Link Docking Bay 94's iTunes Link Jason Hancock's Twitter Jason Washburn's (Talon Strikes) Twitter link Talon Strikes Facebook Page Link Talon Strikes Homepage Club Fantasci's Website Moe's Twitter

With his professional experience at Japanime Games and his own company Kids Love Tigers, we talk about the process and trials and tribulations of creating a board game world filled with miniatures. Also included is our usual games played and Kickstarter roundup. Unfortunately, due to a corrupted file and a crappily recorded back up, we lost about the last twenty minutes of the podcast. Luckily we made it through most of the meat of the podcast before this had happened.

First off, a HUUUGGEEE "THANKS!" to everyone, listeners and non listeners, we talked to, hung out with, met with, played games with, that took even a second of their time to say "Hey!" All of you made our first BGGCon an astounding good time. We met, talked, and gamed with a lot of friends, new and old, and without all these amazing people in our board game community, we wouldn't have had the long, fun days that we did. Thank You! This week's episode is just a very quick recap of our shenanigans, games we played, and people we met and talked with at BGGCon. We recorded in between Wash's busy work schedule and the holiday to get it out for you guys today. Games Mentioned: WWE Superstar Showdown, T.I.M.E. Stories, House of Borgia, Stronghold Second Edition, Porta Nigra Tiny Epic Western, Fury of Dracula, Ghostbusters, Resistor_, Noir, Trickster, Trambahn, Loop Inc., The Networks, Trickerion, Rhino Hero(This is the link to the regular version of Rhino Hero, not sure what the imported large version of the game is called.)
This week, High Heavens designer and publisher, Ryan Lesser joins us in our virtual studio! Not only is he now a board game designer, but Ryan's full time job is Art Director at the video game company Harmonix. So, needless to say, we were extra excited when we not only got to talk board games with him, but also some of my favorite video games, Freguency, Amplitude, Guitar Hero, and Beatles Rock Band!!! With busy schedules this week, Wash and I at BGGCon as we speak, and Ryan Lesser spending his weekends shipping High Heavens to his Kickstarter backers, this episode is a little shorter than normal.

This week's episode marks two monumental milestones. The first is recording and publishing our twentieth episode this week. The second being the first time we've had four guests in our virtual studio at one time; bringing the total of six people on our podcast at the same time! Unfortunately, the down side is that the sound quality did suffer a little. I tried to clean it up as best as I could, but my sound editing skills are still a little on the rough side. This is our first time having this many people on at one time and it took a little bit of learning how to manage and handle that many people and still try to keep our conversational format. I think it shows that we had a lot of fun recording together even with the technical difficulties and look forward to other collaborative projects in the future with the guys and gals of Tattered Board! Board Games Mentioned: Nothing Personal, The Grizzled, Pandemic Legacy, Game of Thrones LCG 2nd Edition, Warhammer 40,000 Conquest, Elysium, Kingdom Death Monster Kickstarter Projects Mentioned: The Contender, Don't Die, Battletech, Spirit Island, Little Pig, Gilded Devils, March of the Ants, Scythe, Kodama:The Tree Spirits, Morocco, Kill Doctor Lucky, 7th Continent TatterCon 2015 Tattered Board Homepage Talon Strikes Homepage Talon Strikes Facebook Page Link Docking Bay 94 Podcast Page Link Jason Hancock's Twitter Jason Washburn's (Talon Strikes) Twitter link Stitcher Link iTunes Link
