Today's main topic is about running a game night, specifically for casual players. We also talk some about games for large groups. We pick out a few favorites. This is just one of the great topics in today's show that came from the feedback.

There were a ton of games mentioned. These include Apples to Apples, Are You a Werewolf?, Time's Up, Taboo, Alibi, Wits and Wagers, Saboteur, Ticket to Ride, Settlers of Catan, Starfleet Battles, Pipe Works, Catan Dice Game, and Carcassonne. This discussion took us also into a topic of how to teach a game, something presented very well in this article by Mayfair Games.

Here we are on the cover of Polymancer. Polymancer magazine is a multi-genre magazine about roleplaying games (RPGs), miniature wargames, LARPs, and more. Articles are written so that they can be useful to gamers of all kinds, no matter which rules they prefer to use. This is done by making the articles "system-independent." There is a complete adventure scenario in every issue. This is not an e-zine, but the real thing: an honest to goodness, printed magazine for gamers. Find out more at www.polymancerstudios.com.

Coming Events include Worldwide D&D Day with SAGA, Con Games, Origins, and Free RPG Day. We also announced the release of the Gen Con podcasting and media events.

If you just can't wait until D&D day, you can get Keep on the Shadowfell from your local retail store. It is complete enough to play right off the bat. An evil cleric seeks to open a gate that just isn't supposed to be opened. It is up to you to stop him.

Don was recently interviewed on The Digital Front. Take a listen to that show to learn more about what is going on behind the scenes of our podcasting world. We also learned from Alan Sugarbaker from Ogre Cave, who also let us know about some GTS reports.
