Marco V "Gunny Watt" ,

Best of health and fortune to your family

I have loved this show and will miss your insight and personalities. Hopefully I will run into y’all on the Gauntlet hangouts one day. Anyone tuning in now, I recommend going back and listening to all of the episodes especially games you’ve never heard of. Congratulations again to Zack and Diane, two American kids growing up in the heartland. LoL I couldn’t help myself. Seriously congrats 🍾🎈🎉🎊 -Marco in Montana

If you think you’ve played them all, you haven’t

The hosts do a great job of picking lesser-known games that most of us who came into the hobby through traditional games may have never even heard of! They do an excellent job of conveying why these indie games matter in the context of the greater role playing community and I love listening to their discussions! Looking forward to hearing more
