In today's episode, Dan and Jim start an interesting conversation regarding intellectual property (IP) in the tabletop space. Just about each and every game it seems like, is built or based on some sort of IP. We go back through our own history, and try to think back on some games that we were interested in, and why we were interested in them. Ultimately, it seems that today's consumer base, really bases a lot of their purchasing decisions on whether a game is ultimately a good game or not. It seems as though that did not always seem to be the case. Stay tuned as we discuss.

Today's episode is all about how crowdfunding platforms such as Kickstarter have completely changed the board game industry. Crowdfunding is a fantastic way for businesses and individuals to raise money for individual or business needs, like getting a new project off the ground and funded. Back in the day, only big companies had the money and resources to create board game products, but crowdfunding completely changed the way these types of projects were completed. Thankfully, now with the sites like Kickstarter, so many more and new products and projects are being able to get made and into the market. Today, Dan and Jim talk about how the industry has changed, and the positive and negative effects because of it.

After last week's episode, Jim and I (Dan) were playing a game called Unfair (it's awesome and you should check it out, link below). During the end of the course of the game, we started an interesting conversation, and it was one that I thought would make an great podcast topic. We got into talking about how we both have fun and find joy in different aspects of card games. That began the conversation, and this episode is the natural "conclusion" to it...or is it?

Last week on the podcast, Dan & Jim talked about how we as societies have migrated a lot of our activities to online and the internet, and specifically referenced playing tabletop games online. Many times, the unfortunate outgrowth of the internet, can be the very real experience of negativity, or "toxicity". This weeks episode is all about toxicity, and how it is manifested in gaming communities. We talk about the why, but most importantly, we try to discuss how we can help to be a part of the solution, rather than the problem. We hope you enjoy this weeks episode.

On todays episode, we talk about the very relevant topic of comparing and contrasting the experiences of playing tabletop games online and playing them in-person. 2020 was a heck of year...and not in a good way. What the year did do, however, was really shine a light on what things I think many of us take for granted, and for many people, meeting each other in person is one of them. Human beings need social interaction on a regular basis, and I think 2020 really showed a lot of people that. So that is really where the genesis of today's topic came from, but this conversation did not originate because of 2020. The tabletop industry in particular is no stranger to online meetings. We really get into this topic in today's episode.
