For Penrith, we debate the halves dilemna if Cleary gets hurt as well as debate Mav Geyer's future.To wrap up, we address the Broncos win over QLD Cup side Burleigh and debate whether Jock Madden is the next man up in the halves if there is any other problem areas for the Broncos halves in 2025.

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 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 fourteenth Paragon in the series is the former minion of The Dice Tower and current US community manager of Mythic Games, Sam Healey! We talk about weather differences between the Northern and Southern US, Sam's time at The Dice Tower and his current job at Mythic games. Sam tells about his past a bit and we discuss on reviewing games as well as teaching and ponder the effects of the last year for the society and people. We of course finish with a top9 list of games with a hidden topic this time - you are able to guess it if you know Sam. 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 1:11:50 and the topic is for you to guess this time - you can do it! This episode is recorded 12th of February 2021. Thank you for listening!

Interview with Sam Healey

For our 175th episode (nice round number!), Jason welcomes Dice Tower veteran and current outreach manager for Mythic Games, Sam Healey. He is famous in the gaming community for his love of miniatures in board games, so we could think of no on better to chat about the subject. We answer the critical question - what is the point of them? Jason gets to play some fun Devil’s advocate in this one! We then get into Sam’s Top Ten Board Games with miniatures (38:00), which hopefully will give you some ideas about what to get if you want to explore the world of minis a bit further. Finally, we briefly mention the Best in Class for solo gamer miniature games, by popular acclaim - Kingdom Death: Monster. This is a long one, but worthy. Hope you all agree!
