Here is a link to Episode 62 of The Gauntlet Podcast. It occurred to me if you simply scanned the show notes from previous weeks, you would think all we do is capsule reviews of games, and that we no longer engage in much play theory discussion. Not true! I have adjusted the show notes to better reflect what is actually being discussed on each show. Feedback is welcome.

I love battle bots but do they really need 5 different presenters to waist time talking. Show me more bots, show me more behind the scenes. I would even take more team weirdness

Along the lines of Richard Rogers question about similarities between Maroon Corps and Void Vultures, it sounds like there a lot of similarity between Maroon Corps and 3:16 Carnage Amongst the Stars. Did you have any thoughts on that, Jason Cordova?

Hamish Cameron I have never played it, but several of the players brought it up when we ran the session.

It’s so good. I’m about to bring it back to my regular con rotation, I think.

Thanks for the high praise, btw, Jason Cordova! I’m glad the system and its cycles sang for you and that you found it as low prep as I intended!

3:16 is the first thing I thought of when I heard of Maroon Corps too.
Great episode all round – highly enjoyable listen
