#68 The Weekender

Ty and Josh find Troy between Space Hulk prep hobby sessions to discuss Adepticon 2024 and a brief preview of their schedules, events, and hobby plans. During games played, there is a brief review of the cozy tile placement game Dorfromantik, adapted from the PC game of the same title. While discussing what’s been read, Troy announces his completion of the Horus Heresy. (Does this mean the reading guide will get a final update soon?)

In this episode, the guys share their experiences at BriceCon 2, Dragonfall, and Gamehole Con.  With lots of games played and quite a bit of hobby accomplished, they provide their updates.  Troy talks about the state of competitive 40k after his battles at Dragonfall as well.  It isn't all sunshine, though, as Ty shares a cautionary tale of his True Dungeon experience at Gamehole, and this prompts some healthy debate between him and Josh.  We promise to keep Ty from putting on the Mr. Negative mask again next time.
