Meeple People

Yes, it's been a while - even since I promised a new show. But rest assured, gentle listener, I am hard at work producing new shows. I've been slogging through the ages-old Rectangular Table Discussion on the Games Workshop line of 80's board games. It's a two-hour show (even after edits) and, frankly, it's a little more off-the-cuff than I care for it to be. We'd had some wine and, well, it's a little breezy. I might still release it and do a follow-up with another guest that has expressed some interest in talking on the subject.

In addition to that, I have shows for all the major BGB series coming up soon - most are recorded and one is planned. The "Best of 2007" show is also on the horizon, with another favorite guest. In fact, that will probably be the next one you hear. Also, I recorded a Q&A session with the Orccon 2008 Guest of Honor, Steve Jackson, with one of my esteemed podcasting colleagues, Paul Tevis of the Have Games Will Travel podcast. I think I have six shows in the can so, you know, they need to come out!

Thanks to everyone who has written in to ask about why BGB has been so quiet lately. The first quarter of 2008 has been rather busy with work, a family emergency and, yes, a bout with bronchitis. But I'm on the mend and setting some time aside to get out some new shows. If nothing appears by next Monday, you are free to harass me again.

Thanks for downloading (and waiting for) Boardgame Babylon.
