Topical, controversial, and (hopefully) entertaining conversation about miniature war games, board games, and other topics near and dear to gamer's hearts.

Curt Covert of Smirk and Dagger Games joins Craig and Russ to talk zombies.

John "That Cowboy Guy" Gibson joins us in the third chair.  John's been involved in the game and geek scene for a long time and is well known for his voice work, game design, and cosplay.

It's time to ride the Russian Rails as the trio dig into the hot new euro board game "Russian Rails".  Why is this game so hot, and what makes it fun?

But first Craig and Russ ask John to fill in the appeal of Solo games...what types of solo games are out there and why did he design one?. 

Raef "Hollywood" Granger is back in the third chair!  

This time out Craig, Russ, and listeners ask Raef what he's been up to in another "Round Table" segment.

Later we dive back into Savage Worlds with Accursed. 

Mack Martin, of Wyrd Miniatures, joins us to give us a sneak peek of the next big miniatures game coming from Wyrd Miniatures: Ruined Planet.

Later we then travel back to the old west...er the new west...er a different west as we dive into a detailed review of Wild West Exodus.  

Sydney Engelstein, co-designer of Space Cadets: Dice Duel, joins us in the third chair!

Up first: Filler Games! Just which games do we favor when we've got a quick hour of play time to 'fill?'

And later it's time to set sail me trumps! As we take to the high seas in Sails of Glory.  

Teras Cassidy, of Geek Nation Tours, is in the third chair to help us get our Kaiju on!

Any fan of old school movies featuring men in rubber suites trashing model cities has always dreamed of one day being a giant monster and doing the same.  This episode we review two great filler games which let you do just that!  The dice game "King of Tokyo" and the dexterity game "Rampage" help you live the Kaiju dream without those pesky fore arm tatoos.

But up first: We need to pick a winner for our Space Cadets: Dice Duel contest.  Join us as we listen to all the amazing contest entries.

Patreon is a very cool, relativly new, service which easily allows listeners like you to support content producers like the D6 Generation.  Even better it allows us to recognize and reward supporters (aka patrons) in all kinds of interesting ways.

Check out all the details via the link below.  Oh, and if you've ever wondered what we look like we made a video on the page to explain the whole thing.

Raef, Hollywood, Granger is back in the third chair for our annual predictions episode!

Up first: Back in the beginning of 2013 we made some predictions about what the year would bring to the geek universe...now we look back and see how we did.

Later it's time to look forward to 2014!  What do we hope/expect to see from the new year for games, geek culture and more!

And as a bonus: There is an extra segment at the end of the episode in which Raef and Russ talk X-box One.

When we discovered that Christopher Weuve was not only a former Naval Warfare college professor and a gamer, but also an expert on alien spacecraft...we just HAD to get him on the show.  Imaging our excitment when he also managed to reach out and squeeze Chris Carlson, one of the minds behind the classic game "Harpoon," into the third chair as well!  The D6G takes to the sea!

Up first: Naval Mulling Mechanics: We tackle what kind of key mechanics you really want to see in a naval combat game if you really want to emulate the challenges of naval combat.

Later we jump into a detailed review of Firestorm Armada second edition.  Does it have what it takes to get naval experts excited about this kind of space combat game?

And as a bonus: The My Little Pony collectible card game is out!  Total Fan Girl chats with a very special guest about how the game plays and why it is fun.
