Intro Banter - This is the (mostly) unscripted intro to the show! We catch up, play games, talk about games that perhaps did not make the main show, and just gab, Welcome! On the table - We will examine what the game is like when played, to personify that experience, cover angles and what to expect from the title: components, setting, rules and the overall atmosphere. Noting any difficulty in obtaining said titles where applicable. Points to hit: Rules - This covers everything in the Rule book from setup to actually communicating what you are doing when you play. Components - Every piece in the box, this can also cover table presence, what does it look like when it is all laid out. Play - How does the game play, is it smooth, what are the fun interactions, what does it encourage. Theme - What does the title do with its theme, how does it use it to further the narrative of the game and provide atmosphere for those playing.

Mark and Walker explore how sophisticated the rejoinder "git gud" can be, perhaps indicating that they are getting good at unhelpful trash talking. Perhaps anything can be an art. Perhaps being a better degerenate is truly the life lesson they have extracted from their years as hobbyists; Mark's experiences have certainly turned him into a fantasy racist.
