Welcome to the latest episode of Cult of the Old!   Each episode your hosts Iain McAllister, Matt Thrower, and Nate Owens are going to turn back the clock to look at games that are at least 10 years old. They'll give their own critical impressions, tell you about the history of the game and its impact, and what relevance these games still have in the modern hobby landscape.    For the first episode of this season we are going back to what many consider the beginning of the modern era. Arriving onto the tabletop scene in the mid-90s Settlers of Catan was a breath of fresh air into a hobby that had grown somewhat stale. It made a star of its designer Klaus Teuber, who sadly passed in 2023.

A title that stands like a colossus above the rest of the releases that year, offering a veritable garden of delights to players. Just the sort of game we like to talk about on Cult of the Old. 7 Wonders was such a game, taking the civilisation game and boiling it down to a simpler drafting mechanism.

Now it is time to cross the barrier into the unknown as we journey to space for the first sci-fi game of the season. It's time to put on your cap, yell “10-4, Rubber ducky' and blow your space horn as we sign up to become Galaxy Truckers.

They'll give their own critical impressions, tell you about the history of the game and its impact, and what relevance these games still have in the modern hobby landscape.    Dungeons and Dragons has always been the dominant game in the tabletop RPG space. From its early days to the all encompassing 5th edition, there have always been attempts to leverage that name in other ways. T-shirts, mugs, TV shows, and of course board games. Lords of Waterdeep from designers Peter Lee and Rodney Thompson is a game that took many by surprise when it came out. Putting the worker placement mechanism into the world of DnD as you take on the role of one of the Lords of the city, it remains on shelves to this day and we delve into the reasons why.    Show Links   Below are links to the games and anything else that the team mention during the course of the cast.  We will be linking to BGG for games, designers, artists, and publishers as that is a good place to start for raw information about the game in question.   Games Mentioned   Agricola Caylus Kingsburg Pillars of the Earth Alien Frontiers Dungeons and Dragons 4th Edition Old School Essentials Castle Ravenloft Wrath of Ashardalon Conquest of Nerath Nexus Ops Argent Consortium Lords of Vegas Ra Risk Legacy Assault of the GIants Tyrants of the Underdark Dune: Imperium Everdell Anachrony Other Mentions -  Folded Space Inserts   Team Links   Websites you can find the cast on There Will Be Games The Cult of the Old   Iain The Giant Brain Twitter   Matt Twitter   Nate Twitter   Support us on Ko-Fi   https://ko-fi.com/cultoftheold   Join us on our Discord https://discord.gg/Ye6Bem5Q6x   Email us at cultoftheolduk@gmail.com

Nu ger vi oss ut på internationellt vatten! Spelhyllan gästas av Iain McAllister, känd från spelnyhetssajten The Giant Brain och podcasten BrainWaves. Han berättar om det prisbelönta rollspelet Blades in the Dark av John Harper och Evil Hat Productions. Spelet är vikt åt skurkar som rör sig i den stora staden Doskvol, där spelarna tar rollen som ett nytt gäng av gatutjuvar, spioner, smugglare eller annat undre världen-slödder som arbetar sig uppåt i stadens undre värld. För detta finns det mängder med specifika mekaniker, ett stramt system som zoomar ut mer än andra och stora möjligheter att lära sig mer om rollspelsfilosofi och hur man fördelar makt över fiktionen vid spelbordet. Dessutom kommer Iain McAllister till GothCon i påsk, så det pratar vi förstås lite om det med. Dessutom nämns bloggen Burn after Running och podden The Smart Party. Kom och lyssna!

In the world of scotch you'll find Highland, Lowland, Speyside, and Islay. Can you name the 5th region? It's Campbeltown. And at one time, the wee toon had around 30 distilleries - today it has three. It's a town rich with history and Glen Scotia has weathered a lot of it. My guest is Distillery Manager Iain McAllister, who will share stories of growing up in Campbeltown and some of the rich history of the town and distillery.
