About this episode

Welcome to “But, Why Vikings?”. Each episode your hosts Tim Clare, Ava Foxfort, and Iain McAllister will answer a variety of tabletop related questions sent in to them by listeners. From tabletop etiquette to historical mysteries there is no question too esoteric for this group of gaming agony aunts. Podcast Daddy Iain McAllister is back along with Ava Foxfort to answer questions about the digital to analogue divide in RPGs, the use of strategy guides, and how, or even if, they record their play stats. Our show notes links to games and sources we mention in running order. Games will have their BGG entry linked to, though we recognise that is not the only source of information on games. Games mentioned7th sea second edition Kickstarter AbsurdiaAsher’s RidgeYazeeba’s Bed & BreakfastWanderhomeBrindlewood Bay - Character Keeper BalatroOther things mentionedRoll20Iain’s Triangle Agency Reviewitch.ioAgon Character SheetBits & MortarBG StatsObsidianOur Socials⁠Music by Fae Spencer on Pixabay⁠Tim ClareBlueskyWebsiteAva FoxfortBlueskyWebsiteIain McAllisterBlueskyWebsite
