BJ was supposed to be chatting with Tim Virnig of Thunderworks Games, but how about that Year 2020, folks! Luckily for BJ, Verla & Steve were ready to pick up the pieces of this debacle and throw cold water on the dumpster fire.
So yeah. You'll hear a shift after the first minute, and I apologize in advance for the sound quality (just on my mic, fortunately).
Anyway.... Verla & Steve and BJ chat about:
- the new one from Formal Ferret Games, High Rise;
- dive back into Nanga Parbat from Dr. Finn's Games, and
- wrap it up with a discussion of the stand alone expansion for Cartographers called Heroes.
Maybe it really should be called Verla Live!
Thanks for listening!
