We're kicking off a new D&D live play campaign...Sands of Khassan. This time with a new Dungeon Master: Russ's brother John Wakelin and a whole new cast of characters. The campaign is already underway...but in Session 0 Russ interviews John on the backstory to catch listeners up...along with John's thinking behind his world-building.

Craig shares his epic journey of painting 3,000 (yes, three thousand!) American Civil War miniatures.  He focuses on why this project might be taking so long, some soul-searching on why we paint, and ultimately what the payoff is and how to get there. And even the consequences of what might happen when you're not getting there soon enough...  

Raef and Russ are excited to welcome Matt Wilson, the Chief Creative Officer at Privateer Press, back to the show.  We catch up with Matt and ask him to share all about the thinking behind Warmachine Mark 4. We cover everything from rules thinking, new ways to purchase armies, using an app, army packaging, and the pro's and cons of manufacturing with 3-D printing technology. And speaking of the new 3-D printed models.  Don't miss the patron-exclusive companion content in which Raef shares his thoughts as he unboxes his new Khador Winter Korps models:
