  Once again around The Sun my friends! Or to my Flat Earther friends, once more the sheeple have been fooled by the Illuminati Lizard People into believing in their flimsy science. I feel ya. Anywhoosle... 2017 was a lot of things, most of them orange and most of them terrible but in one thing we can all agree, the green M&Ms taste better than the other colors. Oh, and that board games pretty much killed it last year, that too.

  In our premier episode of 2018 we discuss the myriad of great games we played over the holidays including a double dip of Stonemaier Games, Charterstone & Scythe. As well as Rajas Of The Ganges, Fog of Love and many more! Leeandra gets officially diagnosed with a rare condition and in IRL we ponder an upcoming move and Star Wars: The Last Jedi!

  So don't be like the rest of the drones, mindlessly cowing to the military industrial complex. Be an individual and listen to episode 15 of The Not Safe For Worker Placement Podcast because who else will tell you when the secret government agents will be showing up?

Don't call it a comeback! We've been here for years rockin' our peers puttin' suckas in fear! Yes listeners our 13th episode will make the tears rain down like a monsoon, tears of laughter and joy that is. That's right this week we will take over M.C. duties from Mr. Cool J to knock out some punk ass reviews! Why? Well for the only reason worth doing anything... Mama said. She also said there'll be days like this so it should come as no surprise that we talk about stupendous games like: Deadline, Ex Libris, Scythe and Clans Of Caledonia! No surprise that is if you listened to Moma. Speaking of Moma's, the young daughter of one also stops by to give her review of Luchador: Mexican Wrestling Dice! So grab your Moma and show her how to download a podcast because she's gonna wanna hear the 13th episode of the Not Safe For Worker Placement Podcast as much as the rest of the tech savvy world!

Defense of the Patience - A Dota 2 Podcast

Defense of the Patience - A Dota 2 Podcast

We have a chat about a new hotness - Scythe on our 42nd podcast (and there maybe a few Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy jokes thrown in as well). First off we start with some games we've played :

Grand Austria Hotel 01:00

Empire Builder 09:55

La Granja 21:03

Favor of the Pharaoh 26:10

We then have a look back at Pandemic - has it been replaced by Pandemic Legacy? Will we go back and play original Pandemic?

Any finally on to Scythe (39:00) - We all agree that the components in Graeme's Collector's edition are fantastic, but is there a fantastic game behind the glitz and glamour? We look at player count and play length. We then have a look at combat and discuss if we like that deterministic style. We then end with a discussion on strategy - is this just a game on rails or is there a depth of strategy to match the world the game is set in?

In this episode I interview Chris Mannino. We talk about teaching theater in high school, a trip to the alleged birth place of King Arthur, his inspiration behind his Scythe Wielders Secret trilogy, and working with Audible and ACX.

The first two books in the trilogy, School of Deaths and Sword of Deaths, are out now, with the third book Daughter of Deaths expected to be released later this year.

The series follows Suzie Sarnio, a thirteen-year-old whose world is turned upside down when she discovers that she is destined to be a Death. She always believed the Grim Reaper was a fairy tale image of a skeleton with a scythe, but now, forced to enter the College of Deaths, she finds herself training to bring souls from the Living World to the Hereafter. As her year progresses, Suzie uncovers a plot to overthrow the World of Deaths. Now she must learn and embrace the reason she was chosen to be the first female Death in a million years.

Christopher Mannino's life is best described as an unending creative outlet. He teaches high school theatre in Greenbelt, Maryland. In addition to his daily drama classes, he runs several after-school performance/production drama groups. He spends his summers writing and singing. Mannino holds a Master of Arts in Theatre Education from Catholic University, and has studied mythology and literature both in America and at Oxford University. His work with young people helped inspire him to write young adult fantasy, although it was his love of reading that truly brought his writing to life. Growing up with adventure and fantasy stories filled with magic and imagination fueled him to create stories of his own.

School of Deaths began when Mannino spent a semester abroad at Oxford. On one side-trip, he became stranded on the Cornish coast, by Tintagel, the legendary birthplace of King Arthur. Following a sleepless night above a noisy pub he climbed to a rocky peninsula to watch the dawn. Feeling completely alone, and attacked by winds from every direction as he clung to a cliff, Mannino imagined a character isolated in a strange world, attacked and bullied.

The Scythe Wielder's Secret is a series of Young Adult fantasy novels, which address issues of bullying, sexism, and social justice, all in a rich epic fantasy adventure world. As a teacher, Mannino hopes to inspire teenagers and other readers to dream and confront issues through their own determination.
