Say Hello to The BoardGameGeek Show!

Say Hello to The BoardGameGeek Show!
From gallery of W Eric Martin
Lincoln Damerst has been overseeing the production of the board game playthrough show GameNight! since 2012 and been involved in BoardGameGeek's convention coverage since 2009, but as BGG's new Director of Media, he's looking to do more. As BGG owner Scott Alden said when announcing Lincoln's new position in December 2017, Lincoln will be "involved in producing and cultivating other shows under the BGG media label", and now it's time to unveil one such effort: The BoardGameGeek Show, the first episode of which features Scott, Lincoln, and me discussing games recently played (Gloomhaven, Hunt for the Ring, Attack on Titan: Deck-Building Game, and more), upcoming convention coverage by BGG, and a landmark number for the site.

Our current plan is to release episodes of The BoardGameGeek Show on a fortnightly basis, alternating with new episodes of GameNight! Our line-up isn't set in stone as we'll have a fourth person on hand for the second episode (which will feature, I hope, an interesting way to compare several games that have something in common), and we've been talking with a couple of other people about show appearances in the future.

I hope you enjoy the new show, which will likely evolve as the weeks go on. If you have suggestions or comments, please let us know what you'd like to see!
