Quotes (from this video)
- I'm actually going to be doing a little bit of rulebook work for Wizards of the Coast, which is quite exciting, but it meant I had to go back and play Magic the Gathering, which still has exactly the same problems as it did back then.
- It's my number one favorite game and I don't get a chance to play it. So, I'm doing a solo playthrough of Mage Knight on Thursday the 3rd of July, which is my actual birthday.
- And then on Friday, we are having a Games Workshop themed day. We are playing a fourplayer game of Forbidden Stars in the afternoon. And then to end the week, we are doing the thing which I said would never happen. I'm going to be playing Talisman.
- Nanolith. It's a cyberpunk themed cooperative narrative driven adventure game, I think, from what I know about it.
- The funny story about this is Dirt and Dust is being published by Albi. Albby are a Czech publisher, and they they've done a number of other games in the past. Last year, they did Tea Garden for one of them. And guess who works in the marketing department at Albi? It's Peta himself.
- Now, it's a Euro game. So, don't let the fact that it's Dungeons and Dragons put you off. It is a Euro style game. It is very much a Euro style game, but it has the D and D Baldersgate theme.
- I'm super excited about next week. You can't imagine just my my joy at at taking a week off work and getting to play games which I really want to play.
- The patron support is fantastic. But if you want to support me, you are you are more than welcome.

Quotes (from this video)
- It's funny because me and Vicki always say whenever we're doing a long journey, we check the traffic beforehand, right? We always say that and we never do.

- You don't discard down limit. There's no hand limit. There's no hand.
