After a couple of years locked in the old freezerinos, fandoms are starting to reconnect in person again. Earlier this month, the New York City WinterCon provided a fantastic opportunity for Aliens fans to meet one another—and to meet many of the Colonial Marines themselves! In this episode, Andie and Christian tell Jaime and Patrick all about their Con experience—Andie as a volunteer working with the cast, and Christian as a costumed attendee. Ever wonder if Mark Rolston is a tea guy or a coffee fiend? Or if Michael Biehn takes a lunch break? Or how much of a single Perfect Organism episode can be realistically devoted to talking about how attractive Ricco Ross is in person?

Vaas goes free [Link] Ubisoft has made Far Cry 3 standard edition free in the ubisoft store until September 11th This is an interesting choice as Far Cry 6 release is a month away Fan theories suggest that Diego Castillo ( son of Anton Castillo, Far Cry 6) is in fact Vaas Montenegro. This theory has been officially denied Far Cry 6 launches on October 7th A sad day for pinball [Link] The Museum of Pinball will be closing its doors at the end of the month. With its closing over 1,000 arcade and pinball machines will be auctioned off The collection's estimated value is worth around 8 million dollars. Reasons for closing are due to the COVID-19's impact on public gatherings and visitations The auction starts this Friday at 3 P.M. and will continue through the weekend will include online as well as on the museum floor DBD Gets Pinhead! [Link] Pinhead is live on DBD as of September 7! Players can control the Cenobite as the new chapter is unveiled. The Cenobite comes with three new perks.Scourge Hook: Gift of Pain, Deadlock, and Hex: Plaything. With this new chapter release also comes a new skin! Chatterer is now available in the in game store! New chapter price is 4.99. Go open the box. Intel: Target Acquired [Link] Intel appears to be hitting the ground running with breakout strategy for Q1 2022, by going right after Nvidia'a RTX 3070 and AMD's RX 6700 XT as a competitive entry point Known leaker Greymon55 stated on Twitter that he saw a slide regarding Intel's first move being being made with their 175-225W Alchemist GPU. Even though we have known that Intel has been really targeting Nvidia, Pierre Ferragu (Intel CEO) backed this up by mentioning that their GPU architecture is in a place where he believes they can really put pressure on Nvidia for the first time ever At what end of the wattage power bracket Intel ends up competing at, it will be a new chapter for the market. If they can compete at anything under 220W (Nvidia's rating for their 3070), then we may even be impressed CDPR is Still Crowdfunding? [Link] That's right! CD Projekt Red wants to crowdfund the new manga for The Witcher: Ronin The manga reimagines Geralt in the world of Japanese folklore, expectedly, and the bootstrapped studio of CDPR wants your help to make it happen! The campaign is aimed at $100k to help distribute Ronin to those interested Although we heard of this project back in July's WinterCon, I don't think we expected the several-billion-dollar company to put it behind a $40 paywall on Kickstarter. But wait! If you support it within 24 hours, you get an exclusive miniature of manga-Geralt! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/saved-state-heros/support

They saw some other stuff too. They’ll tell you about it. It’s week three of Mandalorian so they talk more about that again. It time to just accept this is gonna be a thing for the next 5 weeks. Tod has a theory about the new Batman film. He also has a theory about the Mandalorian. He spends way too much time thinking about this crap. There’s also What’s in the Box and an atypically brief round of Random Topics.Thanks for Listening! Check out pictures of our Whats in the Box items at RegularJoes.com.

Given the popularity of the Patch's recent appearance on the show to discuss his preparations for this year's Wintercon Bolt Action event, it is only natural that we have him back on to see how it went. Along the way we also talk about Australians in BA, theming armies, bucking the meta and much much more. We also spend a fair bit of time talking about Patch's newest army, a forest elf themed force for Kings Of War.
Patch is back on Cast Dice and we are damn happy to have him! The guys talk about GW's clever marketing campaign towards younger gamers while discussing about gaming with your kids and how to do it well. We then shift gears and talk about the upcoming Bolt Action event at this year's Wintercon, what Patch is taking and how to "buck" the "meta." All this before getting into a spirited chat about what we like about Rick Priestley's newest game, Warlords Of Erehwon. Check it out!
These are the testimonies of our annual winter conference.

They then get into the greater world of gaming and dig into the new Warlord skirmish game Strontium Dog AND the new Konflikt '47 Defiance book. We hope you tune in and enjoy.

This week’s Random Topics include, Tarantino does Trek and Warner/DC wants to stream. Also: What’s in the Box and the obligatory observation that The Last Jedi is just ONE WEEK AWAY!

Or will it fail and under-deliver like 3e did?Narosia - Village of Gilkas (sp?)... watch for it!D&D 5e Starter Set - Lost Mines of PhandelverBad beginning, great sandboxNo character creation rules in the Starter Set, just pregens (then Shane had some nonsense to say about faking it)Free "Basic D&D" is a good ideaOSR publishers already do that (Swords & Wizardry, Labyrinth Lord, LotFP, etc.)No more excuses!Adam talks about WinterCon over here.And then talked about Marmalade Dog con over here.Advantage: roll 2d20, take the higherDisadvantage: roll 2d20, take the lowerDCC Dice Chain: If things are harder, reduce the die you're rolling one or two steps on the dice; if easier, improve the die one or more steps. A d20 can become a d16 or d14 if unfavorable, d24 or d30 if favorable.Backgrounds - How much depth do narrative mechanics like this add within the game? Is it a crutch? A straightjacket? A useful tool?5e DMG - pretty damn greatAdam says 1e DMG is better, Shane & Donn say 5e DMG beats itGame customization options in the DMG are essential to AdamDonn: It's all in there!Donn: Will this DMG make better DMs?Andy: Lack of specific rules for specific situations creates more opportunity for better rulings-logicAndy: Creative hand-holding is helpful5e PHB - pretty damn awfulAdam doesn't think that the 5e PHB is inclusive from a racial standpointAdam and Shane disagree on what counts or not as inclusion#halflinggateAdam's going to get up on a soapbox for a moment: All of this stuff is fantasy. If you're going to hide behind a veil of "historical accuracy," you're in the wrong place. The big point of fantasy is that we're making this shit up anyway, so why not take the opportunity to make things more open and accepting? What's the point of not making things more inclusive? What does that gain you? Nothing whatsoever. Player Skill vs. Character Skill?Adventure Arcs/Seasons - Tyranny of Dragons, etc.Adam gets it as a marketing decision, but doesn't like it. Zak Smith's "My Advice to WotC Now That 5e Has Rolled Out" Andy: Give me the modules, but make the world surrounding them vague. I'm here for the world building.Adam: It's disingenuous to write continuity rather than teach how people how to make it for themselves.Shane: Wizards only has to do one thing, let everyone else figure out how to serve the rest of the market.Glass Door rating of Wizards of the CoastThanks for joining us for this episode of Drink Spin Run.
