Matt and Jon sit down with game designer, Jim Fitzpatrick, to discuss Mission to Planet Hexx before it launches on Kickstarter July 29.
"From the discovery of New France to the 1981 Referendum, all of Quebec history is based on a single fallacy: that the British actually wanted to own Quebec. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth. The British already had a surplus of colonies in the sunny Caribbean and took little interest in the Canadian icebox later dismissed by Voltaire as nothing more than 'quelques arpents de neige'... In 1759, with war raging everywhere between France and England, the British knew if would look suspicious if they didn't engage the French in North America. They placed the expedition in the hands of a thirty-two-year-old, inexperienced general, James Wolfe, and gave him strict orders: 'Put up a good fight... but lose.' Wolfe devised a clever theatrical strategy. He would choose an impossible attack-route: Arriving by boat on the St. Lawrence river then scaling the unassailable walls of the fortress of Quebec, thus guaranteeing defeat and dumping Quebec with France for good. But Wolfe's glorious defeat was snapped from the jaws of victory by Montcalm who brilliantly out-manoeuvred Wolfe and surrendered--a stroke of genius that got the colony off France's hands once and for all."-Nick Auf der Mar, "La Petite Histoire du Québec (Version Anglaise)"Games Played Last Week:01:09 -SEAL Team Flix (Pete Ruth & Mark Thomas, WizKids, 2018) 02:37 -Teotihuacan: City of Gods (Daniele Tascini & Dávid Turczi, NSKN Games, 2018)04:04 -Yokohama (Hisashi Hayashi, Tasty Minstrel Games, 2016)04:48 -Sprawlopolis (Steven Aramini, Danny Devine, & Paul Kluka, Button Shy, 2018)08:26 -Mezo (John Clowdus, Kolossal Games, 2019)13:25 -The Crew: The Quest for Planet 9 (Thomas Sing, KOSMOS, 2019)15:02 -Qwixx (Steffen Benndorf, Gamewright, 2012)16:41 -That's Pretty Clever (Wolfgang Warsch, Schmidt Spiele, 2018)17:30 -Coloretto (Michael Schacht, ABACUSSPIELE, 2003)19:32 -Orléans: Invasion (Inka Brand, Markus Brand, & Reiner Stockhausen, dlp Games, 2015)20:59 -Scythe (Jamey Stegmaier, Stonemaier Games, 2016)News (and why it doesn't matter):25:55 Expansion to Twilight Imperium 4th ed.26:44 Pandemic Legacy Season 027:20 Undaunted: Reinforcements28:39 DeepMind: An AI for Diplomacy?29:35 Lord of the Rings: Anniversary Edition31:01 Steven Universe Beach-a-Palooza on Kickstarter July 14th31:29 Pendulum by Stonemaier31:39 Lost Ruins of Arnak by CGE31:59 Documentary: Gamemaster32:42 Feature Game: Imperial Struggle (Ananda Gupta & Jason Matthews, GMT Games, 2020)

We welcome Ryan Little, creator of the comic series Lonesomes, back to the show to first help us celebrate Mark Hamill in this week’s Retro Roundtable. Mark recently received the news that he’d be receiving his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2018, and we here at Canned Air say, “It’s about time!” He has defined, and redefined, some of the most iconic characters that pop culture has ever seen. Come in and help us celebrate the man, the myth, the legend, Mark Hamill! Then we turn our attention to Ryan Little to discuss his new comic starting on Kickstarter July 11th, Prometheus. You've heard the legend of Prometheus before; the titan who stole the flame of knowledge from the gods and gave it to mortal man, allowing us to grow and thrive. For his trespass he was locked away to an eternal punishment at the hands of "The Eagle", a creature of Olympus that would make sure humanity's martyr would suffer for all time. Soon Prometheus faded from fact to fiction to legend, but he never a gave up on us. The story begins with a battered Prometheus mysteriously liberated from his captivity and dying to see what mankind has made the knowledge he's suffered so long for. And what did he find? Our modern world of nonstop pop culture, rampant anti-intellectualism, and a burgeoning classism. One thing became abundantly clear through the noise of humanity's struggles: someone has stolen the flame of knowledge. And now he's going to get it back. Be sure to check out the Kickstarter and throw some support toward this project! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/monsteroftheweek1/54884151?token=5f3bae95 @MrRyanLittle DisposableFictionComics.com @DFComic CannedAirPodcast.com @CannedAirPod @Canned_Air ShroudMedia.com @ShroudMedia
