We hack into CBR+PNK: Augmented from @mythworks.bsky.social and @cabinetofcuriosities.games to see how it modifies the Forged in the Dark system with a streamlined structure and interface that strikes fear in the heart of at least one host. Plus Nintendo history, the state of Star Trek and more!
You can get started on the appetizer now by listening to last year's episode with @thismaybegraham.bsky.social discussing CBR+PNK (and much more).
Had several games lined up to discuss on the podcast this week and instead spent an hour talking about CBR+PNK
This was one of our highlights from the Vancouver Game Garden, a hope-punk city builder with some lovely layers of character creation and procedural storytelling.
Thanks for having us on - feels like really exciting times for our local design scene! 😀
@markyuasa.bsky.social managed to fill the last spot at the last minute, which makes two FitD games we've played in a week!
This week we’re joined by Noe and Mark from @vancouverplaytest.bsky.social to discuss the local community and design scene, their thoughts on creating and playtesting games, and their experiences at Terminal City Tabletop Convention and Protocon BC

We have a special episode lined up with guests from @vancouverplaytest.bsky.social. Have any questions regarding the process of playtesting or topics you'd like us to explore?

Looking for an innovative take on deck building, combining the synergies of co-op Slay the Spire and Balatro and yet is somehow 20 years older than both games? This week we dust off JRPG Baten Kaitos
This week on the podcast, Daniel muses on the melancholy of the Pokemon apocalypse in Pokopia; Mark deals out an innovative take on deck building from before the genre existed in Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wind and the Lost Ocean; plus the latest news in games and more.

How well can deck building card play emulsify with real time schmup combat? Mark finds out with video game The Knight Witch on our latest episode
We visited Mench cafe, a new Omnigaming lounge with space for both tabletop and video games. We put it to the test with Reiner Knizia's Iliad and Ichor and share our initial impressions (including an on air realization that Ichor is basically Splatoon about getting your god goo *everywhere*)
Looking forward to checking out the full game, it's been a busy week with a new job so I could do with the chill vibes😌
This week on the podcast I review Cozy Stickerville from @unexpectedgames.bsky.social , a game of simple joys and mechanics but with enough threads woven together to provide a lovely texture. We also compare initial impressions of Ichor and Iliad, @bitewinggames.bsky.social's new 2 player abstracts.
Topics Discussed:
Nintendo Switch 2, Ivy Road closure, Wide Open Sky is Running out of Catfish, The Lord of the Ring’s: The King’s Gambit, Mench Cafe, Dragonwood, Iliad, Ichor, Othello, The Knight Witch, Cozy Stickerville, One Battle After Another, Beyond the Clouds.
The latest episode is here!
Mark samples an alchemical combination of Metroidvania and deck builder in The Knight Witch; Daniel tests if emergent storytelling is enough to make a game stick in Cozy Stickerville; plus visiting Vancouver’s latest game cafe with some 2 player abstract games, and more!

We don't cover many crowdsourced projects but there's a bunch to be excited about right now. And Cyberpunk TCG exists too I guess. Daniel rounds up some highlights in this week's episode.

My thoughts as I listen to this weeks Omnigamers Club Podcast.
I literally have not played any games from either the Castlevania or Metroid franchise. It's a pretty big blind spot in my video game resume.
The cycle repeats, the podcast has once again risen. Having discussed several Metroidvania's lately, we track down the genre's sire to break down what it truly means with Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Plus our @terminalcitycon.ca experiences, a crowdfunding round-up and more!
Topics Discussed
Wikipedia Gacha, Chicken Fried Dice, Cyberpunk TCG, Lion Dancers, Illiterati, ReMatch, Children of Time: The Roleplaying Game, Terminal City Tabletop Convention, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, The Hobbit, The Fold

What is a podcast? A miserable little pile of secrets! We're back this week with lots of news to catch up on and comparing thoughts on a seminal classic.
Got a fresh article here for everyone, this time on solo pen and paper RPG Thousand Year Vampire!
