Episode 65: EiA, dice and butter [english]
We are talking about Empires in Arms, which those in the know call both the best wargame ever as well as the ultimate RPG. The guests on our show are Herr Dockter and Robert from the famous Sawatdeee EiA-AARs on BGG. Dave also is the host of the „Guns, dice and butter “ podcast, the iconic show for the wargaming tribe. We talk about Empires in Arms in general, it’s uniqueness as an experience, the types of players it needs. Robert highlights how well geopolitics and international relations are organically modelled in EiA. We also dwell on the genius behind many of the rules systems, their elegance and emergent depth. Listen three EiA-addicts nerd out and listen to 5 minutes of host settembrini scrambling for the word „bond market“. Shownotes Herr Dr.’s BBG overview The podcast guns, dice and butter Napoleon by Georges Lefebvre, the book setti is adamant about must have been read by Greg Pinder or Harry Rowland

Episode 64: Cthulhus Ruf
Wir gehen zurück, nicht zum Urschleim, sondern zum Ur-Horror (der deutschen Rolloszene): Call of Cthulhu als Rollenspiel! Ebenfalls sprechen wir über H. P. Lovecraft, sein Werk, sein Leben und seinen Antisemitismus und Rassismus, wie dieser im Wandel der Zeiten gesehen wird, und wie man seine Werke trotzdem und nicht deswegen genießen kann, (dem nicht alle von uns zustimmen).Freut Euch auf diesen kombinierten Auftakt zu Fanzine, Magazinen, Cthulhu, der deutschen Szene und Spezialausflügen in die Origin Story vom Hofrat selbst. Mit kirilow, [gemüse-]ghoul und settembrini. Anm. des Cutters: Leider hatte die Aufnahme von kirilow zwischendurch einen Defekt, daher klingt diese für eine Weile nicht so gut.
