A two-fer today! First, Jason gives quick reviews for two neat little games - Library Labyrinth from Dissent Games and Skoventyr from InPatience, the publisher of the Oniverse. Then, for a special feature, Dan Thurot the SpaceBiff interviews Peter Rustmayer, designer of Paleo. This interview was reproduced from the Space Cast pod, with kind permission

Jason welcomes Daniel Solis, art director at WizKids as well as Chris Cieslik from Asmadi Games to chat about the future of AI art in board gaming. Job creating or job apocalypse? New promises, or seven fingered crap? We answer many questions and offer new ones to think about.
Jason welcomes Luke Plunkett, formerly of Kotaku and Keith Law of Paste Magazine and elsewhere to critically assess the current state of board game media from the perspective of journalistic ethics. For many reasons, board game media struggles to meet standards of journalism achieved in other fields of entertainment. In this in-depth conversation, we discuss how it falls short, what is "media", the grey areas inhabited by enthusiasts, and a whole lot more.
