Hello all! We’re back with our post-move podcast; the first recording in our new space. We talk about some of the pains of moving across states during a pandemic, what our new place is like, and ideas for the future of our podcast. As we become settled over the next few weeks, we will be putting out a new schedule for episode releases - not just for Playing Hooky, but for Nerd Words (and new projects) as well. Thanks for sticking with us!
Hey. Nate here. How are ya? Well, there's always time for new beginnings, I guess. After a long hiatus, Nerd Words is back. I consider this episode a stop-gap between what as and what will be. I am joined by Rachel. We chat about our impending move, some nasty stuff we encountered during the search, and how this podcast might change and adapt in the coming weeks and months. Thank you for listening! I hope you enjoy the episode.

In an effort to stay sane - and actually spend time with friends and family, we've begun doing somewhat regular Discord streaming parties. This week, we sat down and watched The Green Inferno, a modern take on the cannibal tribe exploitation films from the 70's and 80's. We also talk about the how and why we got interested in horror/B genre films, what constitutes one of these films, and more.We've dubbed our private view parties, “B Movies by Night,” in homage to the old Vampire: the Masquerade city trope. When the stars align and the schlock runs deep, we will meet at midnight. If you stare long into the abyss of quarantine, you may might an invite waiting for you as well.

Well, we’re still in the purgatory of social isolation. However, we take advantage of this bad situation and the wonders of the internet to have a few guests on!

Additionally, we talk at length about Vampire: the Masquerade 5th edition, namely our personal issues with elder version power disparity. We also go in on Clan Malkavian, and more.

Co-Host John Coveyou and Guest Marc Specter join Host Richard Bliss to discuss the challenges of non-traditional board games on KickstarterJohn Coveyou, with Genius Games, has launched more than a dozen Kickstarter projects, yet his current campaign, Nerd Words, made some mid-campaign adjustments due to the difficulty of convey the game's experience into a Kickstarter campaign. While the project has funded, it has not met the bar set by many of John's spectacularly successful hard-science games that have come before.Marc Specter, with Grand Gamers Guild, has launched Endangered, a game that tackles the many challenges facing today's eco-systems. This is a significant divergence from Marc's previous successful Kickstarter campaigns and shares strong similarities in the challenges from John's campaign.Together, John and Marc, discuss how to address the gamers market with group games and educational games without having them carry the negative labels of failed efforts by other projects in this area.Both are knowledgeable and well-informed.
