TDT # 416 - Gen Con 2015 preview

Tom and Eric invite Jamie Keagy and Tony Topper from the Secret Cabal show to talk about our Gen Con 2015 plans. We spend a majority of the show talking our favorite ten games we are looking forward to from Gen Con.

This is the second of a two part episode, the first part can be found on the Secret Cabal channel.

Notes:

- Due to GenCon approaching, we released the show two days early.

- Due to techincal difficulties, my (Tom's) main microphone didn't work. Happily, the backup microphone worked, but I sound a bit muffled in the show.
