The guys are back for another Weekender right in the middle of the Gen Con weekend. There is a lot of awesome to talk about including High Command, the amazing Dropzone Commander Set that has Warren all giddy and oh yeah, did I mention it was Gen Con?
Oh yeah and also we're back on Geek & Sundry with the new season of On The Table! We're excited and we hope that you enjoyed the new style of the show!

Next year will hopefully be my first trip to GenCon. You shouldn’t have to pay more (or much more) than £700 to fly from London and change once in the US.
Cthulhu and Calamari
if you want to see an game of Zombie dice, check out the Tabletop episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=NMtlQxJeWvc&t=624
It has a quick rules overview and a sample of the game getting played.
For a food I would say Fugu, but Warren definitely doesn’t have the skill to prepare it for Justin.
Stop showing the DzC set! It’s not out until 28/9 and you keep showing it is driving me crazy! On another note, my school club will be getting one, had the thumbs up from the business manager *result*. Also going halves with my mate for a set; he’ll bulk out his UCM and my PHR will be joined by some Scourge goodies (not as allies of course!). Really can’t wait!
very nice
Surstromming and a game of Saga
Fermented herring I believe.
I’m convinced that if we do SAGA content we need to make sure the people doing it on camera are dressed in some Dark Age attire. I’m not sure its ‘proper’ otherwise lol. The food would help 😉
BoW Ben
Can you fit a horse in the studio?
Definitely can see Warren as a berserker
Looking forward to the DzC pack. Been wanting to play for a while and this looks like an awesome tempting bargain.
Oh yes. Dropzone commander looks like he next big thing.
Days of wonder make great board games!
I can’t speak for the world but I’m definitely not ready for naturist gaming.
As a new dad, I look forward how you manage a game with 2 year olds. And my favorite gamer food is baking fresh bread and making honey butter to go with it. Honey butter is blending 1 part honey with 3-4 parts butter.
Yay Weekender!
With the flights to the US I found to get reasonable prices for short duration trips my outward and inward flights had to be either side of a weekend, otherwise they were substantially more expensive.
Woolworths :p
It crossed my mind too lol. Apparently they still sell online.
the only way naturalist gaming will be mainstream is if only victoria’s secret models play!!!!
not warren……the horror…..
I don’t know, most of the stuff on epic meal time looks good atleast to me and Justin being a carnivore I imagine he would like most of it. Cheesburger lasagna with candied bacon, mmmmmm.
Nice episode guys, really looking forward to your game play of High Command and was really great to hear there will be a new DZC race!! I hope it has something to do with sci fi cowboys!! 😛 hehe
Yyyyes! Zombies!!! I got that game for my sister’s birthday (she’s only four years younger than me) and we had a go and it was really easy to pick up during the first time you play it. I loved the shell tokens and the life tokens with human hearts on them, and how, like Warren said, you can totally screw the other players over, lol! The game has other expansions that I want to get, and like the first one, that have hints of the George A Romero zombie films about them If I can get hold of it, I… Read more »
Ah Zombies.. it makes for a seriously harsh drinking game! Every time you spend a bullet or play a card, you take a shot. I still don’t actually know who won that game..
Woolworths pick and mix was always good to have while gaming.
I’m curious about this new DZC faction. When will there be something to see?

Naturist gaming, does that mean you can onky use the lore of life or beasts?
Deep fried guinea pig with sprout pate and Cadbury animal biscuits for pudding.
Chilled monkey brains.
Do they taste nicer if the monkey is laid back and relaxed?
😀
Good show guys as always. Interesting point Warren, about how game backgrounds can be overcooked. A rich, developed, immersive backstory is essential for me to buy into a game system, and goes hand in hand with the gaming itself, but i can see how it could be a potential barrier for new gamers. 40K in particular now has twenty years and counting of development across multiple platforms. Where do you begin? Now that I cast my mind back, starting with Space Crusade and taking the step to White Dwarf, it was tricky to organise this cool science fiction universe I… Read more »
