    CalazCon! is a pre-recorded actual play series released on Youtube and as a podcast!     CalazCon! is going to innovate in the largely unexplored space of multi-group actual play. 30 players across 6 groups will go to war for an exhausted Democratic Federated Systems army as it crashes into the massive CalazCon! which occupies a local Jovangellian town.      Will the DFS be able to free the Jovangellian citizens from both their oppressive empire AND the nomadic convention, or will they get sucked into becoming fans of the Calazar media franchise?     We're raising funds for the show and if you'd like to support us, you can do so through our IndieGoGo campaign! https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/calazcon-a-beam-saber-actual-play-mega-game/x/29685585#/     Tungsten Hearts by Devin Nelson: https://devindecibel.bandcamp.com/album/tungsten-hearts-calazcon-ost     When You Risk It All by TeknoAXE: https://youtu.be/QVzfWmllNRg

Harrison talks Tony from the Dukes of Highlands who runs us through his journey of Megagaming, from attending his first game, to running his first game to designing his first game.Tony talks in details about some of the issues he faced, like setting up a Megagame group in an area where there have been no Megagames before, running a game at a con and how to run a game you haven't played, going only from the rule book. It's a really interesting chat that covers topics many people may be struggling with as they try and get Megagames established in their local area. Tony also talks about the Megagame Coalition's mentorship program, a network of experienced game runners who can help you with setting up and running games.LinksThe Dukes of HighlandMegagame Coalition

This month Harrison and Matty were joined by Leslie from West Coast Megagames and the Megagame Coalition. They discussed what techniques and approaches Leslie has used and encourages others to use, to better promote inclusivity and improve a players experience in a megagame. This is often a common goal, but Leslie approaches this through logistics using her organisational skills. We thought this was a fairly unusual approach and felt it would be a great conversation, and it was!You can find West Coast Megagames on their Facebook Page and Megagame Coalition on their Facebook Page. Both groups also have very active Discord servers if you're looking for some help, advice or general Megagame conversation.You can also find Leslie's talks and panels on gender inclusivity hereThanks for downloading and we'll see you next month!

Though the themes of games can range from sci-fi colony planets all the way to medieval courts, the unifying feature is simulating a massive, confusing crisis or conflict, and seeing how the existing structures and factions deal with the challenges of information and communication that the situation brings.Links: https://giantbrain.co.uk/2019/10/05/watch-the-skies-diary/Watch The Skies - Shut Up & Sit Down Play a Goddamn Megagame!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hN71v9H_gg8  What is a Megagame?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IlqTWTiiN8   Megagame Makers and Megagame Assembly international megagame calendars:https://megagamemakers.uk/plannedevents.php  https://www.megagameassembly.com/calendar-view   Scotland/North England: https://www.facebook.com/groups/truenorthmegagames/ Pennines: https://www.penninemegagames.co.uk/ Cambridge: https://www.facebook.com/groups/cambridgemegagames/ London: https://www.swmegagames.co.uk/ and https://www.horizonmegagames.com/ South West: https://www.swmegagames.co.uk/ Reading: http://readingmegagames.co.uk/ Southampton: http://diversionarygames.co.uk/about-diversionary-games/   OUR LINKS OF NOTES  Apple Podcasts     Our Blog, Reviews, Previews and Thoughts  Our YouTube Channel Our BGG Guild  Board Game Geek Page  Website   Facebook  Twitter  Instagram Buy Some Merch

GeekPodden utsätter sig i detta avsnitt för ett Megagame, ett för Sverige relativt nytt spelfenomen. En blandning av rollspel, brädspel, social interaktion och lite lajv blandas i en mixer tillsammans med kaos, kriser och ond bråd död. Det ska nämligen spelas ”Watch the Skies”! I en inte alltför avlägsen framtid ställs jordens nationer för det faktum att utomjordingar inte bara existerar, de har även börjat dyka upp på flera av planetens hörn. Varje nation, bestående av fyra spelare, skall därefter på bästa sätt navigera genom världens alla problem, utan att orsaka för mycket kriser och undergång! GeekPodden bidrar i denna spelsession med inte mindre än tre lag: Fredrik, Emil, Patric och Jonas tar sig an den sovande björnen Ryssland. Magnus, Filiph, Andreas och Florian representerar det fredliga Japan. Erik och Gustav, med hjälp av John Thornblad och Daniel Andersson, tar på sig rollen som världspolisen USA. Mikrofonen har under spelets åtta timmar fångat upp små ögonblick som sedan blivit detta entimmesavsnitt! Vad som händer? Ja det får ni höra själva, men vi kan garantera att alla inte kommer levande ut på andra sidan!     MEDVERKANDE I VECKANS AVSNITT:       

In this episode, Dirk is joined by Ben Kanelos and Leslie Loy about megagames, also known as large scale simulation event with up to hundreds of participants.

This week we talk about last week's PAX Prime event! We even had a man in the field. His name is Andrew. Week in Geek: Andrew hosts trivia with the 12th source for all nerdy and geeky news and discussion podcast, Nerdhole (check out their website for some terrific PAX Prime 2015 coverage), while Dan gets emotional and nostalgic as he watched a father play through the Oculus Rift Apollo Moon Landing demo. PAX Prime 2015 News: Some announcements were made and news was had at this year's event. Dan and Andrew go through the things that piqued their interests. PAX and Nerd Conventions: Andrew and Dan go over how PAX fits into the convention circuit that dominates the nerd world right now, what conventions mean––how those meanings have changed over time––and what it means for nerds in the future. PAX Megagames: Andrew gets a chance to hop the velvet rope and actually work for a megagame at PAX, and they discuss the differences due to his role, where it took place, and how the game played. Question of the Geek: Did you like the 2005 Battlestar Galactica reboot? If so, how did it get its hooks into you? If not, why did you dislike it? We also talked about the financial returns of the great Atari E.T. dig, and Dan will be at Sacramento's Art Mix | Crocker-Con event on September 10th. Get details (and tickets) here.

Show Notes: It’s time once again for the next CompanionCasts for The Guild Season Five. First of all be sure you watched Episode 3 of season 5 “Megagame-o-ramacon!”. If you haven’t seen it yet watch it HERE Our Season 4 CompanionCasts were a huge hit so we thought we would do them again for Season 5. So what is a CompanionCast?? It’s a behind the scene look at the current episode of The Guild. I was on set everyday while they shot Season 5. As actors and crew were finished with scenes I would try and speak to them. Get some inside info about the scene they just shot. I also interviewed Felicia Day and Kim Evey about the storyline and Sean Becker about the directing. Each one of these CompanionCasts will be episode specific and will vary in length depending on how much guildie goodness I am able to gather. In this CompanionCast I interview Felicia Day, Sean Becker, Kim Evey, Sandeep Parikh, Robin Thorsen, Jeff Lewis, Amy Okuda, Vince Caso, Hayley Holmes and Greg Aronowitz I hope you enjoy a look behind the scenes of Season 5 Episode 3 “Megagame-o-ramacon!” Kenny Other Important Links Knights of the Guild Feeds/Downloads http://knightsoftheguild.com Knights of the Guild Daily Blog http://knightsoftheguildpodcast.blogspot.com/ Knights of the Guild Fan page on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/group Knights of the Guild Group on Watchtheguild.com http://community.watchtheguild.com/group Knights of the Guild UStream Channel http://www.ustream.tv/channel/knights-of-the-guild (Password for UStream is KOTG) Follow us on twitter @knightsofguild Follow the Hosts Kenny @Geekyfanboy & Jenni @Jennipowell Knights of the Guild You Tube Channel : http://www.youtube.com/user/KnightsoftheGuild1 Knights of the Guild Twit Pic Page: http://twitpic.com/photos/Knightsofguild Call Knights of the Guild 818-308-KOTG (5684) Let’s us know what you think of our show.
