  • Short and sweet

    As a listener of many boardgame podcasts it’s refreshing to have a podcast in a format that is just short, sharp and to the point. Every episode is informative with no time wasted and it feels like normal board game conversations you would have with friends and family rather than some of the more heavily produced podcasts fantastic. An essential lesson and the one podcast I’ll always make time for as soon as I see a new episode emerge

    I like the wide variety of topics and game genre that are covered. The host should play cards against humanity with some friends and a few pints.

#106 - Warhammer in the Military and weird card games in the RAF!
Q: What plans have you got for the space above the shop and the community you're building?
The plan is to install five to six game tables in a Gaming Café above the shop, host teams matches for regiments, and be flexible to accommodate smaller tables for card games or terrain for skirmishes as demanded by the community.
#106 - Warhammer in the Military and weird card games in the RAF!
Q: So why don't you introduce yourself and let us know how on earth you got to this point here.
Pete Hodson explains that he's the co-owner of Battle Pads Hobby Shop, located on Catterick Garrison with his father, and that the store emerged from a desire to bring gaming to people living on a large military base while leveraging the family business footprint.
#107 - HeroQuest: Why this 90s gaming classic still rules - An interview with The Fair Weather-Man
Q: Are there notable differences between the original and Advanced HeroQuest that influence how people play today?
Advanced HeroQuest offers a grittier, more RPG-like experience with deeper mechanics, while standard HeroQuest remains simpler and more accessible; players often mix both depending on preference and group readiness.
#107 - HeroQuest: Why this 90s gaming classic still rules - An interview with The Fair Weather-Man
Q: How have expansions and modern tools changed the experience for players who grew up with the original game?
Expansions add more monsters, mechanics, and craft options while still leveraging the original aesthetic; modern apps streamline dungeon management, yet many players still use the tactile, hardware-based setup they loved as kids.
#107 - HeroQuest: Why this 90s gaming classic still rules - An interview with The Fair Weather-Man
Q: What makes HeroQuest continue to resonate with both longtime fans and new players today?
Its combination of approachable rules, distinctive miniatures, and a sandbox approach that invites homebrew and customization, plus the nostalgia factor, keeps it appealing across generations.
