D6G Ep 98: Wishes for Game Industry & Rex: Final Days of an Empire Detailed Review

This episode we're joined by Dan Yarrington in the third chair. Dan is the owner of Myriad Games and the driving force behind Game Salute and has over ten years of experience in the game industry.

Up first, we go over what we'd like the to see the game industry do to make our games and gaming experiences better.

Later we head to Arrakis to harvest spice...no that's not right. We review Fantasy Flight Game's "Rex: Final Days of an Empire." Rex is a re-theming of the old Avlon Hill board game "Dune." Do the old rules mesh with the new theme and come out fun?

- Do You Ever Notice

- When you wish upon a game *New Segment*

- & More

D6G Ep 97: Where are they now? and Savage Worlds RPG Detailed Review

This episode we squeeze two folks into the third chair: Cody Jones and John Richard from the beloved podcast Game On with Cody and John, the uncommon podcast for the common gamer.

First up is we cover "Where are they now?" the 2010 edition. The four of us take a look at the games we reviewed back in 2010 on both shows. How are they holding up? Do we still feel the same about them.

Later we take a deep dive into "Savage Worlds" reviewing the RPG that has been built to play in just about any setting.
