Meeple People

Well, I'm back from BGG.con and I had a great time meeting up with BGB listeners to play the latest Essen titles. I'm editing at least one podcast of some interviews I took from some of the vendors there. I might do a separate one about the titles I played (about thirty games) or roll it all together into one. We shall see. I expect to get a moment to put the show(s) out this weekend since it's another lovely four-day weekend.

As we go into the Christmas season, feel free to visit us here at BGB when you are shopping at Amazon or MeeplePeople.com. Although we don't ask for donations at BGB (I always listeners to become a BGG Patron or BGN subscriber instead since those terrific folks make a living doing this kind of thing), I certainly appreciate those that use the Amazon search box to find the items you are ordering and when you make a purchase, we get a tiny little cut (doesn't affect your price). Same thing for Meeple People.com - we get a small slice that doesn't increase your price. So, if you're shopping on those sites, I humbly request you click through BGB to help support the show. A very big thanks to those that already have (since that reminded me to mention it, too).

Lastly, I wanted to mention that, as expected, the terrific Ryan and Chad of GameInk.net did indeed have the RA shirt at BGG.con and if you want one, you'd better order NOW. They were moving nicely there and they had people contact them ahead of time to put in their requests for one to be held. If you want a copy of this awesome limited print-run item, browse on over to GameInk.net right away (and check out their other cool stuff, too - I bought a couple more shirts myself at BGG.con). They make terrific presents.

Happy Thanksgiving to all US folks observing it and happy holidays to everyone else.
