Cheating. Seems simple enough, don’t do it. But we manage to make it complicated enough to take up a whole hour. And if we do say so ourselves, it was an interesting hour. For those that follow along on the bgg thread (that’s http://TabletopGameTalk.com/bgg) you won’t find an input thread for this one. Chris comes up with some excuses as to why, but really, he just forgot until it was too late.

A short interesting article on cheating (that we mention early on): https://mindtheethos.com/2016/08/14/the-psychology-of-cheating-why-do-people-cheat-in-multiplayer-games/

We love your feedback, and in this episode we focus on it. We start with some general feedback but we eventually get into you opinions on generic themes, playing older games you’ve missed, and alpha players in co-ops. And oh wow do you have opinions on alpha players. No worries though, no alpha players were, physically, hurt in the making of this episode. Emotionally though, well…

This week Sydnie steps in for Josh as three alpha players talk about alpha players in co-op games. Maybe a bit one sided, but we do end up talking about three different view points from that side. We’re looking for some good feedback on this episode, so take some time and let us know what your experiences are playing co-ops with alpha players and how you deal with it.

This week we take a look at the idea that you should (or shouldn’t) play older games you may have missed because they are icons of the genre. Or maybe because everyone says they are “great” (even though they may not play it anymore themselves). Or maybe because you want more gamer cred. Or maybe you shouldn’t bother with the classics and just play good games… ?

This week we talk about the pros and cons of generic settings. Turns out much of the conversation is around generic fantasy, but we do manage to get some other setting in there as well.
