Some important editorial notes!

-the game walker mentioned is Völuspá, and no we don't know what work those accents are doing;

-SVWAG does not engage in the eating of seal meat (no one's thought to offer, really);

-we hope that Undaunted 2200: Callisto will follow in Battle of Britain's excellent example of having a badass Sikh pilot.

How do we share some of the games we got at Gen Con without making you listen to us for hour upon hour. We put the 5 Minute Initiative constraint on ourselves. So instead of me breaking down in writing all the games we covered and wasting your time this way, give a listen to those that interest you. The beauty of timestamps.

Thanks for taking the time and hope one of these games might be of interest to you.

In this week's episode, Joe, Jules and Lauren share what has been hitting their tables. Jules is back after a break and is still riding the high from Gen Con (in more ways than one). Joe has been playing a game with a grandma featuring a bazooka from the one and only Dr. Lauren has been frantically drawing things terribly. 

There's also the Question of the Pod and a brand new segment which includes exonerating hosts from some unfulfilled oaths, and instead pumping each other up with what has them fired up! 

New Question of the Pod: What's got you fired up?
