In this super sweet episode, Ruel and I have a fantastic talk about all of the things he's currently working on, some of his life's stories, and connections between books and board games. To put most of everything in one spot (and that EVERYTHING is a lot), this is Ruel's Linktree. The Linktree isn't enough, as he is also on Rahdo and Good Time Society (and other channels too!).Intro (0:00)Out of all of the things I enjoy with this podcast in general, my favorite is easily listening to peoples' stories. Ruel's reflections on family, how he came to love reading, different types of work he's done in the past, and his overall passions culminating into his current work just created a super beautiful discussion. Books, books, books… (26:15)The conversation starts off by talking about what sort of message games that present themselves as books promise, some games that are based on books, games that use the idea of books, and several other things that fit somewhere around those topics.*Thinking about words, sometimes (often) mine fail me. When I was talking about Ruel's “Words on Wednesday” episodes and the graphic novel Saga, I was trying to say that I haven't been into graphic novels much but am trying to do so more now. That latter part just never materialized. So that's just another cool thing that Ruel is doing with his channel. Wrap-up Questions (52:45)I now have a fountain pen because of this portion.

Apologies for the extreme lateness on this. Back in September I said I'd start making audio podcasts of the new games section of the recap, and then I went on a road trip and forgot all about it! So here I am a few months later with 2 hours of amazing games to tell you abotu while you're on the move. In the future I'll try to do one of these a month! :)
