Unplugged-gaming rants and raves with the OgreCave staff
| Episode Name | Time | Release Date | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| June 14, 2008 - Free RPG Day looms ever closer | 35:26 | 06/19/2008 | With Mike and Allan. We're joined this show by special guest Aldo Ghiozzi of Impressions Advertising & Marketing, the company behind Free RPG Day (coming up June 21st). We ask how the event has changed for its second year, and what to expect. (1:02) Aldo tells us about specific goodies to... |
| May 23, 2008 - Prelaunch jitters, early impressions, and other stuff | 59:01 | 06/19/2008 | With Mike and Allan. Can you tell work and vacations have delayed us? This show, recorded just prior to the release of D&D 4e, shows our respective frames of mind regarding the launch preparations. With that in mind, Mike checked in with our old co-conspirator Chris Hanrahan to get his... |
| May 2, 2008 - A longer look at GTS 2008 | 49:57 | 05/11/2008 | With Mike, Allan, and Steve. This episode, we take a longer look back at the GAMA Trade Show 2008, and all the product announcements we could possibly recall. Staying on topic as much as we can, we start with boardgames (2:06), ramble our way into card games (13:45), then crash headlong into... |
| April 27, 2008 - GTS hangover with Goodman and Paizo | 57:40 | 05/03/2008 | With Mike, Allan, Steve (in the Paizo interview), and special guest Joseph Goodman of Goodman Games. We launch right into hearing what Joseph learned in his meeting with Wizards of the Coast about D&D4e plans and problems. (0:50) Apparently, merely defining the current boundaries of the OGL... |
| February 22, 2008 - Industry hoopla and DunDraCon '08 | 52:20 | 04/20/2008 | Getting long in the tooth, this one – we start with a discussion of the then-just-announced Gen Con bankruptcy filing, then bop into FFG taking over the Black Industries stuff at about 5:30 and the FFG “Living Card Game” initiative at 10:30 (including some wild-eyed theories... |
| February 8, 2008 - Heresy on parade | 49:55 | 03/15/2008 | With Mike, Allan, and Steve. At the forefront of our minds when we recorded this show: the Black Industries implosion and seeming premature end of the freshly-released Dark Heresy RPG (1:05). The life of the Warhammer 40k themed roleplaying game seemed woefully short. [At show time, Fantasy... |
| January 11, 2008 - To buy in, or not to buy in | 52:15 | 03/15/2008 | With Mike, Allan, and Steve. We start off discussing the Dungeons & Dragons OGL 2.0, and its low, low price of $5K to use this year. We’re troubled by the vagueness of the new license (6:30), and by the hesitance of most major D&D related publishers to get onboard for 4th Edition... |
| November 30, 2007 - Trends and microclimates | 43:31 | 01/02/2008 | With Mike, Allan, and Steve. As we start this time, Steve’s mock-threatening to buckle under the holiday pressure. He tells us what’s been selling in his neck of the retail woods as the season of giving gets underway (1:46). At about (4:38) we reveal Steve’s choice of angry... |
| November 9, 2007 - Angry at the calm before the storm | 44:16 | 11/30/2007 | With Mike, Allan, and Steve, as usual. We bring the hate this episode, and it's aimed at WotC fluff. After a few words on the StarCraft boardgame (1:35), we worry about impending D&D 4e preview products, and take a big ol' swing at the severely-mistargeted Dungeon Survival Guide (3:48) and... |
| October 19, 2007 - Musing on the marketing | 11/02/2007 | With Mike, Allan, resident retailer and kuo-toa Steve, and special guest Lee Valentine of Veritas Games Company. To start off (2:15), we ask the question “Why are we getting our D&D 4e info somewhere other than a WotC site?” The marketing approach thus far leaves something to be... |
