Dice Hate Me
In this episode Chris, Darrell, and TC decide to break down a couple of nuggets of wisdom from the good Dr. Reiner Knizia about American vs. German game consumerism and the genesis of game design in regards to what first sparks the flame: theme or mechanics. All this, plus CMON’s business practices, Camp Launius, whether Arkham Horror 3.0 should replace AH 2.0, gunslinging, sleuthing, coin-bagging, ass-kicking, and so much more!
