And thanks so much for the mention on the cast! It’s nice to hear that you hear me and know that I hear you, I hear.

Thanks for taking this show to review all the different games, G & C! I’m going to give some of these, or at least some of the ones in this format a try. Been kind of tied to one-player video games, but I’ve got a closet full of board games myself and it’s high time I took them out and forced my wife to play them with me (kidding… she likes games too, but we also need to find some friends for the more party game types).

Well, I have to admit, i’ve strayed. Well, maybe not so much strayed, but expanded my podcast listening universe, in no small part due to your show and your reviews of other podcasts. I’d be interested in hearing your opinions on some of them, and think they’re worth the airtime because they are pretty good and have the potential to be much more given the feedback, I think. I have more detailed opinions about them, but won’t taint yours by spilling my cheers and jeers before you get a crack at them.

One is called “Three Things You Should Know” (www .threethingsyoushouldknow. com). I’m really not sure how I found it, but one day it was in my iTunes list, so I checked it out. Intriguing title, great premise, interesting information.

Another is “Working Podcast” (www .jobacle. com). If you decide to review this one, please take a sampling of shows, making sure to catch some in the 50s, as well as some of the later ones. Filled with info, mixed with humor, relatively short episodes (around 15m, each).

Along those lines, there’s also one called “Manager Tools” (www .manager-tools. com). Seems to be intended for a more specific audience, but could speak to anyone - manager or not.

There are a few more, but what do you think about checking these out? Add them to your (I’m sure already unbelievably long) list or into your bingo drum of potential topics or whatever, if you would?

Good to hear you again. And I see that 42 is already up!!!!!! Yea!!!! (never know how to spell that… is it “Yay!”, “Yea!”, “Yeah!”, maybe “Yeigh!”?)

Ashamed to admit that even though I’m a videophile, I haven’t watched your Scandanavian series yet, but i’ve got access to some video tools, and would gladly help convert them to iTunes format if it would help.

Can’t wait to listen to 42! And I think I’ve still got some past catching up to do… anyway, thanks!!!!!

A few things to add, like answers to some of your questions and thaughts:

Yes, adjusting the number of required points makes the game a little longer, and it doesn’t end as surprisingly. The more the game is advanced, the more it is difficult to score points when some of your characters are dead or out of the dungeon.

In France, 7 expansions are out now, and the 8th one is under way. However, each expansion is like the base game: 8 characters, 8 rooms, 6 objects, and a full booklet of new rules. I don’t know about the translation, but Asmodee is having some problem for the distribution of the game in US (being much more developped in Europe than in US). That makes the whole process much longer. But if you can’t wait for the translated versions, just make a short trip to Quebec, where they have all of them, in French obviously.

I’ll stick around for a while, some reviews caught my attention ;)
