Cap N Ton Show

The group discusses the fine art or not so art of the Prequel.  What makes them work and what doesn’t. Tempers flare and the body count rises as we delve into this nerdy topic.  I think we break the Liz on this one. 

The gang talks about holiday traditions and 24 hour gaming sessions!  Hope you all enjoy! 

The gang gets back together for another Class breakdown through genres!  We talk about wizards, those clever know-it-all’s that ruin party balance.  Listen as we discuss true archetypes and how the idea of wizard has evolved over time and technology. 

While the Captain is away in the foothills of Yemen seeking enlightenment by way goat herding, Metric Ton & the Liz welcome brother in arms Jack to the show to talk about party games.  Good ones, not just for 4 people sitting around a table.  Keep your shindig bouncing with these nifty ideas. 

The crew discusses the different types of horror for your Halloween-ey pleasure!  Full breakdowns of sub-genres and what our favorite in each category.  Great discussion starters! 

The crew carefully goes over and reviews Early Dark by Anthropos Games.  James, Liz & Ray discuss a 2 evening playtesting session of the systems in the game and give feedback on what they discover.  From character creation to adventure, all topics are covered for this journey through the Early Dark! 

We talk super hero TV, back by popular demand!  And boy was it missed.  We also have Barak Blackburn on the show from Spectrum Games talking some of his games including RetroStar and Capes, Cowls, and Villains Foul.  Flash, Arrow, Gotham & Agents of SHIELD all talked about with reviews of that came out this season so far.

The Villains and Villainess of the show bring you “Top 15 Over the Top Villains” for you listening pleasure!  Also Scrotal, Bastards and a little Dragon Age talk. 

The gang talks about what happened this past week, and James has a soul crushing rant on the Fantastic Four movie.  Elizabeth breaks from stupidity, and we talk about what came true from Back to the Future 2.  Ray helped as usual. 

Cap and Ton talk about the evolution of Collectible Card Games all the way to Living Card Games.  Covering their histories of card gaming, Magic, Deck Building Games and everything in between.  They share stories on how to leave grown men crying and Liz explains why she doesn’t take to certain card games.

This week the guys talked to Bobby, who is a friend of the show.  Bobby returned from Gen Con 2015 with his annual report.  James was engrossed by Arkham City.  Ray was just plain grossed out by enormous hamburgers and amazed at the Dragon Age RPG.  Elizabeth was as helpful as ever.
