Meeple People

Well, Boardgame Babylon is not known for timeliness. In this case, I'm doing really badly.

A while back, the International Gamer Award nominees were announced and I was quite impressed that I'd played all fifteen of the multiplayer category's games. I also knew that my friend Chris Johnson had also done so and thought it might be interesting to talk about our opinions of the games and their chance to come out on top for this prestigious award.

So, I planned a nice to record and convinced Chris to come over...only to fall ill (darn the school year starting!) Thus, I delayed a week and when I finally recorded the show, well, I had a sound problem. Last week, as I began to work on fixing the problem (while also finishing up my big Clear the Shelves auction) and didn't get it done until the weekend...when the 2008 IGA winners were announced.

So...should I release this thing? I know I don't want to edit the heck out of it and wrestle with the sound quality when I can record my next podcast talking about Ticket to Ride: The Dice Expansion, Tinners' Trail, Playing Gods, and Hero: Immortal King.

If you would like to hear us breezily talk about the nominees (and accurately predict the winners!), let me know and I'll quietly add the show to the feed. If I hear from a couple of dozen or so listeners, I'll put it up. You can post on the comments here OR send an e-mail to me at: sheylon AT gmail dot com.

Thanks again for downloading and listening to Boardgame Babylon - even the ones that may be out of date...
