The Average Gamers Podcast

In this episode the gang chat about Lee's trip to the 2022 UK Games Expo, as well as their latest foray into the world of Twilight Imperium!

On this episode the gang get together to talk about their biggest tabletop passion; Warhammer 40,000 by Games Workshop! Why have they kept at it for so long, and what are they looking forward to in the future? Listen on to find out!

We're a presenter short this episode, so we use the time wisely to talk about the games we got for Christmas and the ones we played over the festive break.

It's the last episode of 2021 - join us as we bid farewell to the year and take a look forward to 2022 and all the lovely things we have planned as far as tabletop games go!

We're back after a brief summer break! This time out, we have a two-man talk about some of the board games we've been playing recently, and about the board game cafés we've been to!

After a brief break, we return with some talk about our tabletop hobby now that lockdown measures have eased slightly and we're able to return to playing physical games. We also take a look at a few articles that piqued our interest in the last month. The articles in question: https://tabletopgamesuk.co.uk/2021/05/03/the-approaching-3d-storm/ https://www.dicebreaker.com/games/pokemon-trading-card-game/news/target-trading-card-game-suspension-pokemon-sports https://www.dicebreaker.com/categories/board-game/news/board-game-sales-2020-digital-fatigue Renegade Games: https://renegadegamestudios.com/ Wreckage RPG: https://anchor.fm/wreckagerpg

It's another beer-fuelled Friday night ramble from the guys this episode, where we recap what we've been up to gaming-wise, and discuss the good, the bad and the ugly of digital alternatives to tabletop gaming during the Coronavirus Pandemic (which you might have heard about by now...) Submarine alarm effect courtesy of soundbible.com/

The guys get together this episode and talk about the things they're most looking forward to in a post-covid world and the things they've missed during the many lockdowns we've had in the last 12 months! Strap in guys, it's a long one!

In this Let's Talk we sit and chatter about Games Workshop and it's two biggest games; Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar, and all the things that brought us into, out of, and back into the wonderfully grimdark worlds created by Games Workshop!

As the team settle back in to life after the Christmas break, we discuss what sort of tabletop-related things we got for Christmas, and also ask a few hypothetical questions about tabletop games.

It's a new tradition for us - a Christmas Quiz! Join hosts Adam, Darren, Jay and Lee as they stumble their way through an assortment of board game-related questions in a contest to find out who's the most knowledgeable on tabletop games! For Adam's odd-one-out round, head on over to our Instagram or Facebook to see his images!

In this episode, Adam and Lee are joined by Jay and Darren (both at once, the madness!) to discuss the games they've been playing during lockdown 2.0, and talk at length about expansions for their various games.

On this episode we talk about what we've been up to, gaming-wise, and we also discuss some of those games that we loved or hated despite the theme/mechanics.

On this episode we chat a little bit about some of those big box games that may have sat on your shelves during this era of Covid-19. What are some of the good ones we've played, and how can you prepare your group for them in the future when we're able to all meet up indoors again?

In this Let's Talk episode, we discuss what we think it means to play casually, and the possible hurdles we face trying to do so in a varied gaming group.

We have a brief catchup on what we've been up to since last episode, and discuss what we think about 9th Edition 40k. We also talk over Fantasy Flight Games' In-Flight Report for 2020.

As lockdown in the UK continues, albeit with some minor lifting of restrictions, we discuss what we've been up to in the last couple of weeks. We talk a bit about the upcoming new edition of Warhammer 40,000, as well as games such as Malifaux, Formula D, Bushido, Azul, Flashpoint: Fire Rescue and many more!

In this edition of "Let's Talk" we cover the Transformers Trading Card Game by Wizards of the Coast!

On this episode we talk briefly about Games Workshop's announcement of a 9th edition of Warhammer 40,000 and what we think about it. We also discuss Darren losing his RPG virginity and how he feels now he's one of us! Finally, we talk about Mental Health Awareness week and how we feel we can encourage awareness and positive mental health within our hobby. 00:00:40 - Warhammer 40,000 9th Edition 00:18:40 - What we've been up to 01:13:40 - Mental Health and our hobby

In this longer-than-usual episode, Lee and Adam discuss all of the roleplaying games they've been having fun in recently, and in the latter half of the show, Darren joins the discussion to talk games that we found out we didn't like.

In our second Let's Talk, we chat to Robey Jenkins of Precinct Omega about his new game, Horizon Wars: Zero Dark (and not 'Horizon Zero Dark' as Lee calls it in the intro...).

We return all refreshed after a bit of a summer break to talk games, games and more games! On this episode we discuss what we've been playing over the past couple of months since the UK Games Expo, and briefly talk a little bit about this year's GenCon.
