Pawel returns from The Fatherland to rejoin Chris and Euan in this extremely conversational and record-breaking episode, and by that we mean it's unintentionally the longest one we've done to date. We kick things off with Pawel chatting about cowering behind his shield in Dark Souls 3 (then running screaming off a cliff), while we all compare it to the entire Souls series, including Demon Souls and Bloodborne. Euan tells us about his return to the excellent 2D platformer Rogue Legacy, and Chris talks about his dabbling in things like the Doom Beta, Surgeon Simulator, The Escapists, and the sandbox MMORPG Black Desert Online. The tabletop section starts with a lengthy discussion of the Dark Souls board game Kickstarter and Chris's wariness of buying into the hype, and then we talk about games we've actually played, such as the fantastic dice game Roll for the Galaxy, and the weird real-time board game Time 'n' Space. It's a long 'un, but it's a good 'un.
017 - MASTER OF THE ROSENBERG TRILOGY
The Pawel vacuum is extremely apparent in this episode as Chris and Euan battle their way through a review of Splendor, become Chinese farmers in At the Gates of Loyang, and chat at length about Lords of Waterdeep and its expansion Scoundrels of Skullport. Also, Chris gets over himself and talks a bit more about The Division and his first few hours in the fantasy 4x world of Endless Legend (with some comparisons to Endless Space), and both hosts continue to have their minds blown by Factorio and its beautiful efficiency.
