The State of Games, Episode 23 – The One About the Unpublished Masses

There’s nothing like hitting the open road with a box full of hopes and dreams, arriving at a destination, unboxing those dreams and letting a whole bunch of random strangers tear them apart. And believe it or not, that’s a good thing! In this instance, those dreams are board games, and in this episode of The State of Games, we’re all set to tell the stories of those myriad dreamers.

    Great job on the Unpub2 coverage. I am curious about Compound and excited about Viva Java. I hope it is not too expensive – I have to watch my money but the bits sound superkewahl! Thanks for the props to SJVL, that will be exciting to see it come out with Sergi’s artwork. I am getting used to his artistic direction for the game and I think it will promise a pretty wacky otherworldly experience. Anyways, keep on keeping Brudda DHM and Sista Monkey!
