Steve and Canje Studios discuss some of their favorite previewed games this year so far. Note: We did have a short audio issue for about 1 min with Canje Studio's audio. Sorry for the poor quality during that section.

(Jason here) It's a little peculiar, right? In no other hobby, or walk of life, do we say "the teach." But for board gamers, we know exactly what we mean - that necessary time before any new game that we need to spend in order to have our fun. I give a theory on why we say "the teach", drawing from my background in psychology and communication. I think it's great, and I fully support playing with language and coming up with new ways to say things.

Heads up, One Stop Coop Shop fans! This episode will cover an RPG Adventure book, rather than a board game. The reason we are running it here is for adventure and dungeon crawler fans - let's see new stuff! We can stick with elves, orcs, swords, and forests, or we can open our minds to new perspectives from new creators. Ajit George is the creative lead for the new Adventure book for Dungeons and Dragons, Journey Through the Radiant Citadel. The book presents adventures for adults who want tough moral choices and creative depth in their games. It was written by an all-POC writing team with different takes on familiar adventuring. We discuss how it came about, what it hopes to accomplish, and addressing some of the cultural pushback.

Jason engages in a shorter monologue on how to tell when games are culturally ok and when they are not ok. The occasion for this discussion is a Gamefound project called "Lobotomy II: Manhunt," which depicts the "insane" in a questionable light. Jason offers critical analysis and ways to move forward and show empathy.

I discuss the relationship between content creators and consumers. Very often, as creators, we try to bridge that gap with more transparency and more clarity with the terms we use. That's great, but we need another piece - how to build trust with board game consumers.

We seem to have gotten an increase in people, in different gaming groups, who post a version of "why in the world would anyone enjoy playing board games solo?" It's a question that comes up in good faith but also in bad faith. Jason answers that question for either audience.
