Keith offers helpful advice and talks about dealing with people who are dismissive about Eberron. Then they bring down the Spoiler Curtain to discuss A Quiet Place and the first episode of season 2 of Westworld.SPOILER WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS

Andy talks about the reviews Pyramid Arcade is starting to get, and laments minor errors that have emerged on one of the gameboards inside. But mostly the guys just discuss media, in particular, a couple of long discussions about Westworld. Other topics include a couple of series from the BBC (Space Race and Black Mirror) and a new Beatles album from an alternate dimension, called Everyday Chemistry.
First, Andy & Keith check in on each other's games, Illimat and Pyramid Arcade, then they talk about conventions they each just got back from, GameHoleCon for Andy and Ambercon for Keith. Then they get into lengthy, spoiler-laced discussions of The Good Place, Timeless, and Westworld.Spoiler Alert: Spoilers inside.
This week Andy stops in Portland (during his big West Coast Trip) to visit Keith.

Other topics include dog parks, Pyramid Arcade, the musical Hamilton, and dueling with paintball guns. Lastly they discuss several new shows: Timeless, Westworld, and Luke Cage.
The show begins with some yammering about naps, the difficulty of falling asleep, and the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy original radio series. Then Keith talks more about Illimat, what it's like to work with the Decemberists, the XOXO festival, and the coins from Fall of Magic. Andy mentions his worries about how the Haijin shipping crisis might impact the arrival date of Pyramid Arcade. Keith mentions a book he's reading about Yellow Kid Weil, which leads to a discussion the word outlaw and of con man films including The Sting and The Flim-Flam Man.

Andy & Keith start by discussing the status of their Kickstarter projects: Pyramid Arcade by Andy and Phoenix by Keith. But mostly they discuss media, in particular time travel shows and superhero shows. But they don't discuss 11.22.63 much because Andy is lame and hasn't seen the ending yet. And neither of them have seen new Batman/Superman movie, but that doesn't stop them from discussing it. Andy mentions his all-time favorite books, the Tripod series by John Christopher, and his recommended reading order. Keith talks about being mistaken for fantasy author Brandon Sanderson. Andy discusses the pyramid videos being uploaded daily in support of the Kickstarter.
Keith talks at length about Project B, which he's now calling Project 12, and Andy talks his recent redesign of Lunar Invaders, one of the games in Pyramid Arcade. They also talk about the fun of having a snappy response to the common question, “What's your deal?” Regarding media, they talk about the first couple of episodes of 11.22.63 which is a wee-bit spoilery, despite their attempts to discuss it without revealing too much.Spoiler warning: spoilers inside.
Andy & Keith just got back from JoCo Cruise 6 so that's the big topic this week, including Keith's story of almost being left behind on St. Maarten. They both did a lot of playtesting on the boat: Andy was showing off all the games in Pyramid Arcade, and Keith was testing out his secret “Project B” game. Other topics include one of the shows Keith most enjoyed, Imogen Heap's performance, Andy talks about visiting the Kennedy Space Center with other “sea monkeys” when the cruise ended, and they both share stories about hanging out with geeky celebs including other game designers, in particular James Ernest and Mike Selinker. Non-cruise topics include Keith's next version of Gloom, the differences between their roles as a Free-lance designer vs. being on staff, and Andy's experiences with wearing a giant mascot costume of an Uglydoll character at Toy Fair.
This week's topics include Andy's travels to PAX Prime and Burning Man, Keith's progress on Phoenix, Andy's trio of new game projects (Mad Libs, Firefly Fluxx, and Pyramid Arcade), the difference between Venting and Whining (and Bellyaching) and stories about their pets.
