In this episode, Jason Greeno and I chat about the current boom in the print-n-play side of the market, and we dive into how and why more designers should create printable versions of their games.
You can find a ridiculous number of PnP games on Jason’s website, PnP Arcade.
And you can find his game, The Cursed Managerie, on Kickstarter HERE.

WE INTERRUPT YOUR SILLY EPISODE NOTES FOR A SERIOUS ANNOUNCEMENT
It is fat bear week! The possibility of a US federal government shutdown has been averted, and thus the voting public (even foreigners, we won't tell) may vote on which lorge bois of the ursine variety shall take the prize! For those uninitiated, the US National Park Service runs a bracketed competition to determine the preferred corpulent bear. Note: none of these bears are anthropomorphic, nor have any been inadvisably given projectile weapons.

In Sizzling Games, Conor is simply magnifico in Lorenzo il Magnifico, Dana is red-lining with excitement over Heat: Pedal to the Metal, and John is happy to watch everything burn to the ground in Empire's End.
