Robot Dice Explosion

We take a road trip with Adam to compete at the first local tournament of the COVID era, "Year of the Risen Sun". Hear how we think it will go and how it actually went!

Take a look at all the lists people brought on the Bushido Discord channel.

This episode was originally live-streamed on YouTube. We're joined by various contributors to GCT's Bushido for a chat about the recently announced release, and to answer some questions from the audience.

In this long-ago recorded episode, we return to Bushido and discuss how we approach writing a Warband.

We sit down IN PERSON (!) for a chat about the 'future' of Guild Ball, a new edition of Blood Bowl, and related topics which grab our attention.

We're joined by Tony for a general catch-up. We talk about 40K, teaching your kids to play, Precinct Omega & Horzion Wars, computer games, brushes, and the weirdness of the current state of the world.

In this episode, Ben is joined by Art of the Gitzapalooza YouTube channel to discuss games, making community content, and running tournaments.

We're joined, at a safe distance, by Jason and James to discuss the recently released Coven boxed set for GCT's Bushido.

We're joined by Jason to take a look at the upcoming Wolf Clan boxed set for Bushido, and talk about the approach he took to developing them.

Recorded late in 2019.

Ole joins an under-the-weather Ben in his place of work for a discussion of Bushido's Tengu faction.

We invite that guy who bought The Banner Saga 2 without having played The Banner Saga 1 onto the podcast to talk about game meta but quickly digress, which will come as a shock to everyone, we're sure.

We talk about the books, TV shows, board games, miniature games and computer games we enjoyed in 2019.

We're joined by Paul to discuss a game with some beautiful models and unique mechanics: Red Republic's Arena Rex.

We risk becoming known as a Bushido podcast by once again taking a look at a selection of models from one of the skirmish game's many factions. This time, it's the monsters of the Jung Pirates.

We're joined by Adam, the latest Bushido Grand Master, to discuss the Kaze Kage Zoku faction.

We had some production difficulties with this one, so please bear that in mind.

We take a look at the Ito starter set for Bushido and then delve deeper into the faction with a focus on the Shisai Type.

In this shorter-than-usual episode we talk about our first impressions of Twisted - a steampunk skirmish game, before taking a look at the two limited edition miniatures for Bushido's new edition: Risen Sun, which are available until the 4th of August.

We're joined by Ben's 6-month-old son to discuss the latest playtest version of Bushido's 3rd edition - Risen Sun.

Recorded weeks ago, this episode features a quick catch-up on recently-played games followed by a discussion around "dead" games and whether them being "dead" is actually a bad thing.

We catch up on what we've been doing since last time - mostly video games, house moves, and babygeddon - before moving, in a not-so-timely fashion, into a meandering discussion on pre-measuring in miniature games. As you can expect, we address all possible arguments and come to a conclusion which can't possibly fail to please all gamers out there.

A few of us from Solent Wargamers attended the annual Bushido Masters tournament at the UK Games Expo. In this episode, we explain the thinking behind our lists and recount our experiences.

"No battle plan survives first contact with the enemy."

Our rankings: 7. James 8. Adam 11. Graham 12. Ben

We went on holiday to the Cotswolds and played a bunch of games. Then, we came home and played a bunch more. Probably a good idea to have a catch-up, then.

Timestamps to follow! 

Our first proper episode, in which we talk about our experience of Salute 2018, and discuss Moonstone, a game Ole picked up at the show.

00:30 Salute 30:00 Moonstone

Our inaugural episode, in which we introduce ourselves, discuss what we would like to do with the podcast, and demonstrate just how little experience we have talking into microphones.
