In tonight's dead letter, in the summer of 1996, two college kids from New Jersey were road-tripping to Gen Con when they got off I-80 near Lock Haven, Pennsylvania, looking for food and a place to stay. Around 11:30 PM, at a gas station that turned out to be closed for the night, three blonde kids in bathing suits were standing under a light, saying something to them that neither of them could make out.

Change is often uncomfortable, and editions changes are even more so. 11th Edition has brought a lot of changes, both small and large, to Warhammer 40K, and most of them have been pretty well-received. That said, there are a few things that have brought a bit of extra friction to the game, had unexpected impacts, or just aren't quite working as anticipated. In this episode, we look at three particular pain points that impact the armies we build, the tables we play on, and the missions we play. Are any of them deal-breakers? No, but if we address them now and figure out constructive ways to work with - or around - them, hopefully we can smooth them out and have an easier, better gaming experience! Also, Kevin and Richard bring a report back from GenCon!

We had a fantastic time at Gen Con this year! And so many of you were a big part of it! This year's Letters Page Live was a delightful and frankly much-needed return to normal, but with QUITE the turn out! We more than filled the notable space that Gen Con provided for us for our podcasting needs, and you all more than filled the time with fantastic questions! Right off the bat, we were challenged to keep it truthful all episode, which is a mighty ask indeed! However, we did our best, and I think we succeeded, and even gave away more than we'd intended! So, that all sounds like a pretty good outcome to me. Oh, and Trevor is working on the video for this event, so you can look forward to seeing that, when we have it! Next week will be this month's Editor's Note, which means that if you're on our Patreon, you can join us this coming Thursday evening for our live recording! Come join us! We hope to see you then!

We’re back from Gencon and had a blast! Our live episode features updates on the future of RPPR, discussions of Gencon 2026, and a lively game of AD&D Trivia. I found a copy of this infamous trivia game and challenged the RPPR cast to see which team is the best at AD&D trivia. For some weird reason though, every answer on the cards was wrong, so we had to ask the audience which answer was right. (In other words, we made up answers to see which was the funniest). Enjoy!

Hey Now, Cabalists! In Episode 120 of The Secret Cabal Express, Chris, Don, and Jamie dive into a topic suggested by a listener: the etiquette of rating board games on BoardGameGeek. We talk about the rating system, how we personally rate games, how we use the collection system, and mess that is the comments section. From there, we move on to the many forms of board game media and how we use them to inform our opinions and decisions when buying new games. We also get into our crowdfunding habits and how that fits into the way we discover and acquire games. Enjoy!
