Send us a Text Message.Do you have a lot of time on your hands? Do you think that marriage is not quite enough of a commitment between two people? Then do we have a recommendation for you! In our biggest episode to date and after an epic 3 year journey, we offer our final thoughts on Isaac Childres' game-changing, sprawling dungeon crawler / RPG Gloomhaven. (and a bit of Jaws of the Lion)We discuss the game's mechanics, components and in our usual fashion talk through how it plays as a 2-player experience.  We have done our best to be spoiler free throughout the normal show, but we do have a special spoilercast added on to the end for those who have finished the campaign / don't mind spoilers and want to hear our thoughts on story, unlockable characters and the mysterious envelope 'X'.Find us on Social Media FacebookTwitterInstagram

Maybe you've heard of that hefty game called Gloomhaven, the #1 game on BoardGameGeek for over 5 years. Or its heftier sequel, Frosthaven, the highest-funded gaming project on Kickstarter ever. We're not sure how their designer, Isaac Childres, had time to chat with Going Analog, but we weren't going to pass up the opportunity. We pick his brain on all the -havens, his upcoming plans for the franchise, modern-day crowdfunding, and his love for "dry Euros." Timeline: 4:03 - Shoe's game pick: Familiar Tales. 7:22 - Isaac's game pick: Gaia Project. 13:00 - Christina's game pick: nana. 15:12 - Shoe's topic: the growing Gloomhaven/Frosthaven universe. 26:40 - Isaac's topic: the current state of crowdfunding. 35:19 - Christina's topic: how Isaac's love of "dry Euros" plays into his design philosophy.

We apologize for the all-caps implied yelling, but really, given this volume we had to have a corresponding... uh, volume. The puns are also somewhat fishy--but those you can feel free to skip, jack. The nautical theme doesn't end with fishing, as the recent Crash Octopus (when compared with older titles that are comparatively crusty) shone. More specifically given that it's about an octopus and we want to minimize the yelling, it's a safe, low pod. Wait, no, that's the wrong family.

We apologize for the poor quality of Mark's half of the audio this week. We offer two possible explanations. One is that Walker, motivated as he is by spite and malice, engaged in an elaborate act of sabotage so as to undermine Mark in public. The other is that Mark (the editor, mind you) messed up the audio settings. I agree that the latter is too improbable, too conspiratorial, to take seriously--but we include it for the sake of comprehensiveness.

Nie tak znowu bardzo dawno temu rozmawialiśmy sobie w Setce na trzech o Gloomhaven, a dzisiaj za warsztat zabieramy mniejszą wersję tego tytułu. Jak wyglądają różnice? Czy warto mieć obie? Od której zacząć? Odpowiedzi na te pytania w odcinku. Zapraszamy do słuchania. Przy okazji czemu by nie polubić naszej stronki na Facebooku i nie zasubskrybować naszego kanału na […]

(Durée 01 : 31 : 18) Télécharger le podcast   Gloomhaven est un jeu de société coopératif créé par Isaac Childres. Sur les hexagones de Gloomhaven, des groupes de héros et d'héroïnes se succèdent pour explorer des donjons conçus comme de véritables puzzles. La richesse des mécaniques et des scénarios est telle que le jeu casse les codes de son propre média... Cette semaine, avec Maxime, Natacha, Luca, Céline et Adrien, nous tentons vainement de définir Gloomhaven. Est-il un jeu de rôle ? Un dungeon crawler ? Et s'il fallait s'éloigner de la simulation pour comprendre Gloomhaven ? A moins qu'il ne s'agisse d'une simulation d'un jeu-vidéo sur table ? Quelles sont les mécaniques principales du jeu et comment celles-ci nous donnent l'impression d'être tantôt dans un jeu de plateau, tantôt dans un jeu de rôle, tantôt dans un jeu-vidéo. Chacun voit dans Gloomhaven ce qu'il veut y voir. Mais lorsque nous découvrons ce qui semble être le propos du jeu, tout est dit : Gloomhaven apparaît soudain comme le récit d'une aventure collective...Bonnes semaines à tous et à toutes, portez-vous bien et, surtout, jouez bien !

This is part two of Jason's coverage of the lore and cultural background of Frosthaven. Please listen to or watch Part One which clears up some misunderstandings of cultural consulting. In this one, Isaac Childres shares his own insights, what he hopes to accomplish, what will change mechanically (spoiler: not much!), and how he feels all gamers will benefit.

In this OSCS extra, Jason flies solo and follows up on the most recent project update about the narrative of Frosthaven. Jason explains, point by point, why Isaac Childres was correct to seek out cultural consulting, and how a proper understanding of it can benefit any and all gamers who want to play. This is the audio version of a video episode of Shelf Stories. It is highly, highly recommended to watch the video version because it contains many visual elements. However, some people like audio, so here it is. Please listen to this episode before you listen to my interview with Isaac Childres, upcoming in the OSCS feed.

If you’re hankering for a quest – issue 40 of Tabletop Gaming is for you. Like a slightly over excited tutorial NPC, we’re offering you so many ways to slake your wanderlust. ?In the first instance that’s the cover story. We talk to Isaac Childres about Frosthaven and ask whether it was the equivalent of the “tricky second album”. Isaac takes us on a tour of the frosty far reaches of the game, and asks us to work together to build hope in this desolate place. He also hinted at a few of the classes that might currently be under wraps (but not in a spoilery way). To find out what we found you, you’ll need to pick up the mag. Dungeon Degenerates: Hand of Doom is a neon-punk world from the mind of Sean Aaberg. Aside from the obviously incredibly vivid art, the game offers us a chance to talk about whether games should be read at their mechanics alone, or whether they should be read as fiction. Oh, and if you’re a subscriber, your special subs cover offers a lurid look into that world. But that’s not all – with a Minecraft game hitting our shelves we talk about making a procedurally generated world work on our tabletops with Ulrich Blum, the game's designer. Get this issue here: https://www.tabletopgaming.co.uk/Store/Back-Issues/tabletop-gaming/tabletop-gaming-issue-40   If you’re hankering for a quest – issue 40 of Tabletop Gaming is for you.

Hey everyone! This episode it PACKED with stuff and it is extra long as a result. 30% more for free! We have a little bit of Toy News and a bunch of board game news from current Kickstarter campaigns recently launched. We even debut our new jingle I made for our Kickstarter board game news segment after Noah constantly hounded me about it. Lets get into it shall we: We start with talking about McFarlane Toys dropping their new DC Comics Multiverse figures this month and our hot takes on them ( spoiler alert- I like them a lot!). As for the board game news, we cover three recent Kickstarter campaigns that we can't wait to talk about for various reasons. The first game we cover is Grendha: Search for Lost Triumphs by Doptale Interactive. This is their first board game and you can tell they are putting a lot of work into this launch with their pre-launch website https://www.grendhaboardgame.com/ and their social media presence. This is a small company and we want to support independent designers and companies when we can. The second game we discuss is Return to Dark Tower by Restoration games. Isaac Childres and Rob Daviau team up to make this epic fantasy game where the players work together to defeat and giant, bluetooth app-enabled tower! Lastly, we talk about the saga that was Beyond the Monolith, the recently cancelled project by Monolith games, the company that brought us Conan and Batman: Gotham City Chronicles. These guys designed a whole new board game system and were met with several challenges that ultimately resulted in the cancellation. Noah unpacks the whole series of events for everyone. We want to thank everyone for listening- we have been getting some really great feedback and want you to reach out if you have any feedback for us. mail@playwithitpodcast.com Don't forget to play with it

Today we discuss the Kickstarter for Return to Dark Tower by Restoration Games. Designed by Rob Daviau and Isaac Childres, it's a new take on a classic that was originally made in 1982.

How to playtest big epic games like Gloomhaven? […]

Expectations can get you in some trouble, even if a game seems to give fair warning that it’s not necessarily related to its predecessor. People understandably--and that includes us--will come into a game wanting what they (or we) want. It’s normal. But what do you get when you expect a dungeon crawler and you find a heavy euro? And there’s sure a lot of brown on that game board! But, once you get past your expectations, are you left with a good game?

Sometimes, a graduate school education follows the strait and narrow path through dissertation, postdoc, and faculty position. And sometimes, it sprouts wings and takes you somewhere else entirely. That was the experience for Isaac Childress. Isaac began his career as a physics PhD studying high-energy particles. But “Plan A” didn’t turn out exactly as he […] The post 113: All Work and Some Play – Isaac Childres on Following Your Passion After a PhD appeared first on Hello PhD.

In dieser Folge gibt es deswegen auch mehr Kapitelmarken, damit ihr euch die Themengebiete, die euch interessieren, anvisieren könnt. Wir erklären die wichtigsten Details jeweils in dem Teil zu dem sie das erste Mal aufkommen.

This week I talk to Isaac Childres of Cephalofair Games. He is the creator of Gloomhaven and Forge War. Gloomhaven has been a runaway success raising 4 million dollars on kickstarter and included a number of really cool ideas and concepts. In very basic terms it is a dungeon crawler miniatures board game with character & world development making the whole world seem immersive and ever changing. It was a pleasure to be able to speak to Isaac and he came across as very modest guy, explaining all of his work in a matter of fact way, he doesnt seem one to toot his own horn about the stuff that he has done. His games show the amazing level of thought, detail, & effort that he puts into his craft and to get an even better insight into him & his work then check out his blog on his webiste, I have provided a link below so you can go and look. In that he talks about all aspects of his work, it is a good read. I hope you enjoy the show. Cephalofair Games: http://www.cephalofair.com

We are calling an audible! We originally intended to release Part Two of our fantasy adventure discussion one week after Part One. However, why wait? We've decided to just give you double the content for the week, instead. Because of the double content week, we are going to give you Preview Series episode next week, then get back to our regular series of episodes one week after that. In Part Two of our conversation with Isaac, Frank, and Tristan, we talk about mechanisms that did and didn't work in their games, as well as designers they get excited about and where they see the industry going in the future.

Here at ENGN, we always have fun when we bring a special guest on to share about their projects and their passion. For this episode, we have tripled down and brought together three designers whose passion led them to producing three massive, exciting fantasy games. We are happy to have the designers of Gloomhaven, The City of Kings, and Gloom of Kilforth, respectively, talk about their love of fantasy games and some interesting aspects to designing and producing them. Not only that, we took the majority of the questions from fans who were good enough to respond on Facebook and BGG. Thanks to all who helped out! This episode will be Part One of Two. In this episode, we get to know their backgrounds as fantasy gamers as well as the importance of rich, original theme.

This episode is brought to you by Punch-It Entertainment creators of Battle for Sularia. WHAT!?!?! A 2 hour Episode! In Episode 10 the Board members may have finally hashed out the something segment but only time will tell if Dan is going to be too picky... Ryan actually un-shrink wrapped and played games and both of them have some really great highlights before the main event! Isaac Childres stuck around and pitched a topic that the Board Members felt had to be addressed and talked about even with the risks at hand... in episode 10 the 3 of them unpack inclusion and exclusion in gaming.

In Episode 09 the board members continue their Something battle... who will prevail?? Ryan once again proves his vast bucket of Pop Culture Knowledge .... which is obviously very little and very sheltered.

Stay tuned for Part 2 and a topical discussion June 9th with the DR. Big news is the 1st Annual ATB Garage Sale... please join us for that on the guild page!

Gloomhaven is one of the most success board game projects on Kickstarter. The creator, Isaac Childres, joins me for a second time on the show. The episode was recorded while the campaign was still live on Kickstarter. I ask Isaac if he is even sleeping with the amount of energy and effort his project is requiring as he smashes through millions of dollars of funding and tens of thousands of backers. We also discuss some of the unhappy people out there who may not like what they are seeing.

This episode we are extremely excited to interview Isaac Childres, publisher and creator of Gloomhaven. We have a good time talking about his other games and Gloomhaven as a whole. Check out the 2nd printing on Kickstarter before it ends, you won't be sorry you did! Thanks for listening!

Gloomhaven raised over $300,000 on Kickstarter and printed 10,000 copies of the game. Distribution had 2,200 copies for retailers but suddenly demand spiked at 25,000 copies. Isaac Childres, creator of Gloomhaven and owner of Cephalofair games explains how a successful Kickstarter project brought it own set of challenges. He shares some secrets of what you should watch out for and lessons learned. And how he is planning on meeting demand that is 10x higher than he anticipated. These are good problems to have.

Super special episode this week as we welcome Isaac Childres, Owner of Cephalofair Games and Designer of Gloomhaven to the podcast. Isaac joins us for a half hour to discuss the upcoming Gloomhaven Kickstarter second printing, the game and its solo playability, some of the questions people have had about the game the last few months, and his next game, coming to Kickstarter this summer, Founders of Gloomhaven.  It's all things Gloomhaven in this very special episode.
