Joe Balkoski, designer of the outstanding series Great Campaigns of the American Civil War, the SPI monster the Atlantic Wall (plus a few others!) and the Victory Games classic The Korean War, will be our guest on episode XXII of Guns, Dice, Butter.
Nick Karp, another member of the SPI/Victory Games tribe (and designer of the fantastic BEAST called Vietnam), and now CFO at Shenandoah Studio, will discuss recently released Desert Fox and other items in the SS pipeline.
Also trying to slap together a panel on "Perspective: the position a player is asked to assume when playing a wargame: god? borg all controlling b*tch godess? A commander?" with the usual suspects (friends of Guns).
Hope to post in the next week or so.

Happy Holidays 2012, tribe! Again, thank you for your listening support during our first year of Guns, Dice, Butter. Hope to have the first episode on 2013 posted just after the new year. It will cover ancients wargames: Greece & Rome. Already have it 1/2 finished; a great conversation with a designer of one of these games. Just need to get the panel discussion with the gamers finished. And, a link to the data file: http://talk.consimworld.com/WebX?233@@.1dd6d36f/235!enclosure=.1dd80d53 ...associated with the chart below. Many great ancients games to be played in 2013. Have been on binge of ancients gaming lately; session reports of PAX, Siege of Jerusalem, Caesar at Alesia and The Siege of Alesia posted on BGG (boardgamegeek.com) for each of these titles.

Took a break from podcasting for a couple of months: life, work and gaming. Back very soon with a conversation with game designer extraordinaire Richard Berg. I'll upload a 1 page summary of some his titles/BGG related stats and a comprehensive list of his games. Richard shares some great stories, discusses a few of his designs and reveals the Berg pipeline. Hope to post by the end of November.
