Yes, my dear friends, Tabletop Games Blog is 5 years today. When I posted my first article, I didn't know where I was going with this and had no idea about the journey the site would take me on. Since then, I published 550 articles, releasing them also in audio format since December 2018, which means there are over 430 podcast episodes available as well. I played hundreds of games, attended many exhibitions, was a guest on a number of podcasts, met lots of people and made many good friends. So let me tell you about the journey so far to celebrate this anniversary with you.

I love writing reviews, even though that was never the intention with the blog, when I first started. I've now written over 135 reviews, which is amazing, given it was something I only started doing once the blog had already been going for a while. There are a lot of things I learned over the years when it comes to writing about board games, but what I knew from the start was that reviews are always just an opinion. Opinions vary from person to person, so chances are that someone reading one of my reviews will disagree with me. Their opinion of a game will be different and in this article, I want to talk about how my opinion might be perceived by others. (This article was inspired by We're Not Wizards.)Read the full article here: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2021/03/30/right-to-reply-topic-discussion/Intro Music: Bomber (Sting) by Riot (https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/)
00:00 - Forgetting names and confusing idioms. 03:10 - A graduation, but whose graduation? 06:10 - Making rum, plus the sweetly thematic Fort from Leder Games, in which you pretend to be kids building bases, using pizza and toys to curry favour with Icky and Sticky. 17:44 - Al's FINEST wine and socially distanced martial arts. 21:52 - From humble packaging comes something we had a ton of fun with; Coiledspring’s Anomia is an extremely good party game. 30:50 - Twin It. Love it. 33:11 - Enola Holmes is fantastic, and Millie Bobby Brown brings a welcome level of handiness to the character. 38:42 - Back to school. 41:10 - Our time with Basic Fantasy Role-Playing Game pretty much started with a total party wipe. And it. Was. Awesome. It’s glorious. All that, and the wonderful Richard from the We’re Not Wizards podcast (@werenotwizards), with Dan (@ThisDanFrost), Kris (@DigitalStrider), Sam (@MrSamTurner), and Peter (@XeroXeroXero).

This episode the Snob's have on a special guest from the podcast/YouTube channel We're Not Wizards, Sir Richard Simpson! They rant, rave and talk about in part such things as: Gaby discusses local Scotland news, Richard claims to be a titan of Amazon marketing (or something like that), why Richard quit his podcast, feet....., why We're Not Wizards doesn't join a network, why Gaby prefers Richard's YouTube channel over the podcast, an idea for the Sporadically Board show involving...feet, again, Richard does a spot on Gollum impression and many other voices, and much, much more!!

The year 2020 has been a year coloured by change. Changes in many ways have touched many people's lives. Paragons of Change is a series of interviews with people from boardgaming sphere whom I’ve noticed going through changes in recent times. We talk about change and what they have changed in their lives. By default we do not claim we state facts, we only talk from our own points of view and our opinions. As the discussion might take a negative note, we try to finish with a positive – by giving you a Top9 list of games. The topic of the list has been chosen by the guest and we will have a “battle of the lists” after the episode airs in my social media channels – you, dear listener, are encouraged to comment and vote on the lists to see which one of us did better. The first Paragon in the series is Richard Simpson formerly not a Wizard. But is he now a wizard? Find out what he is by listening, or should I say what they are? We planned for an hour, this became two. We don't, or he doesn't actually, stay on topic and we touch subjects ranging from Halloween to patriotism, from learning skills to Nightwatch, and from gender fluidity to work culture. Basically all over the place. While editing, I began to think Witzhard's goal was to see how many names he can drop. I lost my count, but you can try to find out - and maybe you are there too? Comments are welcome, hope you enjoy this bit and will be back for rest of the series. Voting for our Top9's will commence some time after this episode drops. Top9 starts at about 1:13:50 Thank you for listening!

00:00 - The Egg Saga. 09:40 - A trip to Vale Street in Bristol, and leaving the house for a curry. 12:28 - Ghost of Tsushima, Akira Kurosawa, and the satisfaction of feeling powerful when playing as a samurai. 22:37 - An amazing quad biking adventure in Greece. Top tip: check your headlights before setting out. 28:23 - Set dressing the house and tackling the play-it-at-home escape room Art Heist, from The Fantastic Factory’s TRAPPED series. 38:00 - Sabotage is yet another absolute humdinger of a board game from Fowers Games, and how to spend an extra £500 on it by buying a brand new table. Plus when Kris met Tim on We’re Not Wizards. 49:55 - Getting our cartographer juices flowing by making overworld maps for Basic Fantasy Role-Playing Game by using Hex Kit by Cone Of Negative Energy as an “inspiration generator”. 01:03:17 - The debate continues. All that, and Waterloo, with Dan (@ThisDanFrost), Kris (@DigitalStrider), Sam (@MrSamTurner), and Peter (@XeroXeroXero). Looking for tea-themed Spotify playlists?

We were recently interviewed by the wonderful Richard Simpson from the We're Not Wizards board gaming podcast. It rapidly descended into the kind of chaos you might expect from us. It's wonderful!
Yer a wizard, Richard! Nah, not really. Richard is from the We’re Not Wizards podcast, a delightful show about board games and the people who play them. He and I have become good friends over 2016, and I am very happy to for him to finally guest on this show. Unfortunately, he spends most of his time insulting me and raving about Lords of the Fallen. Heads up: there's a couple of moments where VOIP failed us, just bear with me and it goes away quick enough. Richard’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/Revatar We’re Not Wizards: https://twitter.com/werenotwizards As always, if you’d like to be on the show, send an email to dguspodcast@gmail.com, or use my variety of social media networks listed below to send me a message. Email is generally the best way to get me, though.

Who’s that with the strange voice at the beginning of the show? Why, it’s none other than the founder of Dark Insight, Clifford Goldsmith! That’s right he’s back, and he brought a friend: Josh Crowe is here! Josh’s birthday was this week, so we got some of our friends in the podcasting community to give him a shoutout. See the list below on where to find those charming gentlemen (in order of appearance). From there we get into the bulk of our show: video games! This week we talk about Destiny, Darkest Dungeon, Deus Ex, Mafia 3, Uncharted 4, Rocket League, The Bunker, Virginia, and the Bioshock Collection! Cliff gives us his first hand report on the PSVR, there’s something wrong with Sony’s recommendation engine, and listener responses at the end. Enjoy!
