TheQuestionNL and TheInspiringHat have taken some time out of their busy schedules to answer some of our questions about the Guild Ball Community Project. Big thanks to TheQuestionNL and TheInspiringHat for their time. And not to forget Wandler, huge shout out.

It happened. Once again we're plagued with lockdown audio issues, sorry about that.  I mention it in the first minute or so, but we hacked a lot out of this pod. So if we seem not fussed by the announcement - we absolutely were. It's just on the cutting room floor because we talked in circles. ----- Check out Bryce's Podcast An Aye For Games here: ...

Hello! Your favourite infrequent Guild Ball podcast is back.  The current hotness is the Field Test and Ryan's put a fair whack of time and effort into taking a run at some proposed changes. Most importantly the first half of the episode is about why these changes should/could be made.

It took us a while to get them on the board. But we are in love! Alex's dogs got excited during Hook and Crook chat so expect to hear them join in.

A podcast is never late. Nor is it early. We've used that line before. It's been a while! Alex has finally shaken a long loss streak. Ryan hasn't been let out. We haven't had time to try the Shepherds. Welcome to The Firm!

How are you finding the new captains? Enjoying them? Ryan is thoroughly enjoying Soma. Alex not so much. Lead Guild Ball Developer Bryce is here to talk about the new captains and their development. Merry Christmas!

The Firm steps out of its cave of hibernation, blinking against the bright winter sun. We're joined in this episode by Steamforged Games Design Lead Jamie Perkins to talk about the new Game Plan Deck.

No Knuckles or Layne chat here, folks. We're still getting to grips with these guys. A is for Alchemists! Determined to stop knowing nothing about the Alchs we got them on the board and played around with all of them.

It's been a while friends, but hot (...lukewarm?) off of Scottish Nationals we're back to talk about our last few games and new feelings about Guild Ball.

We've ran the new captains out. They're good!

Sherwin very kindly joined us for a meandering frolic through this wave of captains releases.  Spoilers: Sherwin has a disappointing favourite episode of Stargate SG-1

So this was meant to come out in the first week of March while the takes were hot. Now they're slightly warm. Vet Boar, Mourn and the Miners all get a run out onto the pitch in this episode. Excuse the dogs, please.

Mourn, Boar, Steeljaw and Yukai are the topics of discussion for The Firm today.  There's a pretty deep dive into Steeljaw and Yukai as they're the ones we got on the board, but if you listen closely during the Boar chat you'll actually hear Ryan's eyes widen with glee as a new Butchers six starts to fall into place in front of him. No errata or Miner's discussion from us in this episode, catch that next time when we've got the board feel from the Miner's and have digested the errata.

A late tournament report from December.  Ryan was nursing a hangover so Alex rode solo into sunny Leeds. Recorded this last year but only just got to editing it. Hope you enjoy!

This is part two of a two part episode - hit up The Rookie's Podcast for Part 1. Now the housekeeping is out of the way, Ryan and I (Alex) would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May 2019 be full of perfect sculpts and dice trays full of 6's for you all.

It's finally here. Wiping the briny sea spray from its brow the Navigators Special looks down from the deck of the ship to the waiting crowd. It doesn't apologise for being late.  Thanks to Bryce from SFG and Dan Harwood for their time as we sit down and speak to them both about the Navigators! Our audio with Dan failed, as did the back up. This is the back up back up and it's super echoey - very sorry about that.

Late again - look's like we need to get rid of this Navigator's watch and buy a new one. This is our pre and post SteamCon UK chat about the game. 
Published 12/06/18
Right, so this is super late. We recorded this around October 13th.  These Season 4 hot takes are now super cold. I've (AJ) been busy. Hope you enjoy it even though it's late!

In this episode we basically run down how our tournament went at Leodis Games. It was a really fun friendly tournament and we want to thank everyone who came down! Eagle eyed listeners might spot this is episode 25, not 24. We recorded a 24 but I (AJ) have had some family stuff going on and basically didn't get around to editing it. I was hoping to get it live on the same day as this but haven't had the chance so we're skipping 24 as we said episode 25 in this one. Hope you enjoy the episode.

Listener caution is advised. This episode is incredibly off script.  We just had a chat about Season 3. Properly just a chat.  Bryce joins Alex to talk Season 4, if you want actual content you can skip to that at 01:02:38. See you in Season 4.

Sorry this is a little late.  We round up the last of the solo cards spoiled in blogs and then talked to the Hypetrain himself about WTC and why you should go next year. All aboard!

**Apologies for the trash tier audio. We were almost at our max storage allowance for the month - AJ** We hit up a local tournament this weekend and came first and second after a not so heated battle on the top table.  The better man won. Well I did, and I sort the uploads so I can put whatever I want in this episode description - AJ

With some new blogs out it's time to talk about some Season 4 models with zero context again.  It's an exercise in futility, but one we enjoy.
