Key Facts
Reviews
- Poor
Content is lacking depth in any meaningful context, the host is awkward, the show is rife with technical issues, and it seems more like a platform for the host to expound on his importance rather than provide anything of value to the community.
Avoid!

United States8 years ago - A thinking gamer's podcast.
Knowledgeable hosts, thoughtful dialogue, intelligent insights. Perhaps the smartest tabletop gaming podcast around. A must for Antares fans.

If you like science fiction war gaming and the Gates of Antares universe then you should give this podcast a whirl. The production quality on sound levels has been excellent so far (not an easy thing for podcasts) and the content is engaging and interesting. Starting off your podcast with an interview with Rick Priestley can't be a bad way to go either!
