Episode 258 ... Sitting Down With ... Roy Paeth!

from Tabletop SportCast Hosted by James Cast

In this episode of the Tabletop SportCast, James sits down with Roy Paeth for a Father’s Day conversation about games, family, community, and finding time for ourselves. Roy shares his journey from Strat-O-Matic Football and Statis-Pro Baseball to rediscovering tabletop sports games during COVID, eventually finding his way to live gaming conventions and a welcoming community of fellow hobbyists. The conversation also explores fatherhood, gaming with adult children, unplugging from everyday distractions, and Roy’s daily walking and hiking routine as a way to clear his mind and stay active. It’s a reflective episode about the role games can play in our lives — not just as a solo escape, but as a way to connect, reset, and create lasting memories around the table.
