Gamers Lounge Ep. Damn Every once in a while when podcasting for any length of time things happen and entire shows are lost. This is one of those times. What makes it worse is I’m the primary culprit and sole reason the next episode is not on time. Damn. Sorry folks, Ep. 157 is going to be delayed. I’ll have it out as soon as we can re-record and get it uploaded (possibly 2 weeks due to work schedules).

Gamers Lounge Ep 156 – Folklore In episode 156 we cover the campaign game Folklore by Greenbriar Games. Bill and Mrs. Gamers Lounge really enjoy campaign games, Bill more than she. That said, this is one where we roped in friend of the show Josh to a series of weekend games to play thorugh a full campaign. This review comes after 6 stories, 14 “chapters”, and multiple play sessions. We each played the same character through that series and have a very good feel for what we like and don’t like in the game. Please do Enjoy

Gamers Lounge Ep 155 – Rising Sun Episode 155 has Bill joined by Benjamin and newbie Lamont. This was Lamont’s first game of Rising Sun by CMON, and they boy’s thought it would be a good time to give it a review. Listen to a new player’s take on the game and mechanics. Benjamin comes around after not really being taken with the game for the 2 previous plays, and it’s hard to tell if there’s a game Bill doesn’t like. Please do Enjoy
