In which Mike is back from UKGE, and mostly awake again! Featuring interviews with a bunch of the demo agent team from the show.
Useful links:
SciFi Trader. Note that this site is in German, but most modern browsers will do a decent enough job of translating if you ask them to, to enable you to sign up, sign in and buy stuff.
Also not mentioned in the podcast (for reasons of time!), the new UK BattleTech podcast Hexperts who, being more organised and efficient than me, already have six episodes out and I’ll talk more about next time!
Just done some tidying up – you should now find that the podcast now displays links to Amazon and Spotify as well as Apple Podcasts if you prefer those means of absorbing your audio entertainment.
It’s also up on Pocket Casts and Pandora (US only), but the WP theme won’t show those on each episode.
In which Mike talks to BattleTech author Bryan Young about Fox Patrol, his recent IlClan era novels, and the upcoming VoidBreaker. And fails to remember to mention the date of Bedford Tabletop Expo (see the events page :D)
In which Mike and partner-in-Alpha Strike-crime Bob Sawyer discuss the rules they’ve messed up while getting the hang of the game, and take a brief skim over what’s in stock in the UK and coming soon (hopefully).
BattleTech Aces play through demo from Catalyst & Six Sides of Gaming
I’ll post a link to the Beta SPAs when I can find one I’m certain is public!
All Day game:
Happy New Year!
Note: I’ve kept a fairly light hand on the editing to try and preserve the informal nature of our chat: as a result there’s a fair amount of mic noise from Bob’s headset. If you want him back, he promises to buy a decent mic 😀
In which Mike looks at the various new releases coming out, and talks to Sam Hall of Enfield Gamers about their upcoming WolfNet 350 Alpha Strike tournament.
[Note: apologies for the audio quality of Sam’s voice in places – it came through fine on my headphones but appears to have recorded (through no fault of Sam’s) with some annoying digital artefacts. I did my best to clean it up with the tools at my disposal, but sadly it’s not perfect (and in some cases the tools were making it worse!). However, as this is an episode with a bit of a time crunch, I’ve chosen to let it go so as to get the content out.]
In which Mike catches up with UK BattleTech-er and games developer Tom Lovewell (and finally figures out they probably met a lot longer ago than he originally thought!).
