The episodes this season have been pretty good.  They're all pretty diverse in terms of topics.  It's been really interesting to learn more about small press publishing as well as Brant and Gary's experience being wargaming media.  Keep up the good work.

Mentioned in Dispatches Season 9 Ep 11 ~ Accessories & Doodads

Following up an earlier couple of podcasts that covered dice, and game mods, Brant & Rocky are here to talk about all sorts of game accessories, and other enhancements that aren’t necessary for game play, but definitely make it nicer.

We talk all about tables, dice towers, tweezers, counter sleds, map covers, box inserts, and more.  There’s a lot to cover and plenty we missed because we only have an hour(ish) in an episode.  Obviously there’s plenty more to talk about, but here are the at least some of the links to the things that we covered, and remember if you point the audience to something cool, make sure to give us a link!

Well I figured out how to use my work laptop to do the last episode of Solosaurus a few weeks ago. I could do that again if needed. But my computer will hopefully be repaired and back this next week. Apparently the damn thing has given them fits.

Great first episode!

I really like the idea of a wargaming OGL. At about the 30 min mark, Chris states that the underlying game mechanics can't be copyrighted and the words to describe those mechanics can be copyrighted. This is 100% correct and discussed by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, EFF, in their article "Beware the Gifts of Dragons: How D&D’s Open Gaming License May Have Become a Trap for Creators"

I wonder if instead of an open gaming license, if using one of the  Creative Commons licenses would be better? I guess it depends on if making money from the license is important to the project.  ;D

Judging by my experiences with software licenses, the only reason to come up with your own Open Game License is if you want to do something weird like a morality clause. And "weird" and "license" do not go well together.  :doh:  :nerd:

Mentioned in Dispatches podcast  Season 10 Ep 2 ~ Designer Cole Wehrle
Ostensibly, we were going to talk some Napoleonic wargaming with him, but it took us almost 50 minutes to get to that point

Mentioned in Dispatches Season 10 Ep 3 ~ Sci-Fi Wargaming

Brant, Rocky, and Moe talk about where & how the theme matters in sci-fi wargaming, and at what point (if at all) you aggregate your forces too high to really “feel” like a sci-fi game.  We start off with Hammer’s Slammers and Star Fleet Battles and the recent Alien games and then wander around all sorts of laser guns, jet packs, transporters, and more.

Mentioned in Dispatches Season 10 Ep 4 ~ Solo Wargaming

A full house on this episode, as Brant, Mike, Michael, and Wayne Hansen get together to discuss solo wargaming, and yes, we’re aware of the irony.

Mentioned in Dispatches Season 10 Ep 5 ~ Wargaming and Digital AI
Brant, Bryan, Jim, and James all gang up to talk about different facets of artificial intelligence in wargaming, and other digital games.  How “intelligent” do you really want it to be?  A dedicated opponent?  A shadowboxer?
