Episode 46 - Non-Euclidean Coffee

The Team are all together in Brainwaves HQ and Iain C has made his way back from the non-euclidean geometry of the coffee machine. Joining Jamie and Iain M they dive into the news ocean once more to bring you the juiciest pearls. This week they cover the Far Verona cancellation, the passing of a TSR founder, CMON trading woes, Asmodee generosity, Z-Man on Pandemic and much, much more. Iain M has been busy putting together a new corner of the studio to help out those stuck at home with online gaming, and the team chat about the merits of Tabletop Simulator.  Headlines Far Verona Cancellation https://www.reddit.com/r/rpg/comments/fts4rd/adam_koebel_dungeon_worlds_far_verona_stream/ https://www.belloflostsouls.net/2020/04/rpg-far-verona-canceled-dungeon-world-creator-faces-backlash.html Elspeth Eastman Explainer Vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Y21hx6FEPE&feature=emb_err_watch_on_yt Koebel Apology https://youtu.be/yYonGyQiILQ Monte Cooke material https://www.montecookgames.com/consent-in-gaming/   Brian J Blume dies https://icv2.com/articles/news/view/45529/r-i-p-brian-j-blume   Cool Mini Or Not Stock Trading Suspended https://icv2.com/articles/news/view/45581/annual-report-delayed-trading-suspended-cmon?fbclid=IwAR1SquWmVuleOhkP4lWL4p3zkaCEXsrXvQNrvRqFetZ93-IG4TgyafmFpxE   News Asmodee PnP https://print-and-play.asmodee.fun/ Asmodee hires GW Interactive Games licensing Manager https://icv2.com/articles/news/view/45523/asmodee-adds-interactive-games-licensing-manager Gama launches search and help site https://icv2.com/articles/news/view/45535/gama-launches-game-store-locator-status-info Z-Man on Pandemic. https://www.zmangames.com/en/news/2020/3/28/pandemic-and-covid-19/ Matt Leacocks’ oped: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/25/opinion/pandemic-game-covid.html?fbclid=IwAR2q1ZAglTon2KlcmmqOhCayWWp_qKbsxQshv0OSgTNVXBLK7mfqj0aUnC0   New edition of Love Letter from Z-Man Games https://www.zmangames.com/en/news/2020/4/1/announcing-love-letter-sender/    WOTC announces game store relief https://icv2.com/articles/news/view/45511/wotc-announces-game-store-relief   Frosthaven KS  https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/frosthaven/frosthaven/description   At Home with Iain M Tabletop Simulator https://store.steampowered.com/app/286160/Tabletop_Simulator/   Patreon Shoutouts Exec Producers: Lucky Sparrow Gaming Cafe https://luckysparrow.co.uk/   Our Links Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/thegiantbrain  Twitter: @thegiantbrain Instagram: giantbrainuk Facebook: The Giant Brain Website: giantbrain.co.uk Email: [email protected]
