Episode #6 of The BoardGameGeek Show — Live from the 2018 GAMA Trade Show

Episode #6 of The BoardGameGeek Show — Live from the 2018 GAMA Trade Show
From gallery of W Eric Martin
Okay, episode #6 of The BoardGameGeek Show is not really live from the 2018 GAMA Trade Show, but we recorded the episode in Reno, Nevada at the conclusion of GTS and we were all alive at the time, so that might count, yes?

This is the first episode of The BGG Show in which the three of us are on screen at the same time. Following the end of our 2.3 days of livestreaming from GTS 2018, Lincoln rejiggered the cameras to aim two of them at the three of us, we put together a list of topics, then took off, possibly staying on topic along the way. This episode required much less effort to record and edit, but it also required a few plane trips and a long drive to make it happen, so we won't do something like this again until Origins 2018 in June at the earliest.

Does this format work for you? Is it strange seeing us together? I know that I feel odd; I work almost entirely by myself, then I blitz conventions for a few days with non-stop and tiring human interaction before retreating to my quiet safe space once again.
