HAMMERCRAWL! Gamestorm 2019, Part 2: The Bone Golem Hates Cats

The Gamestorm 2019 live event recording continues in part two! This three-parter was recorded at the Gamestorm convention this past March, right here in Portland, Oregon. As with all of our convention and one-shot gaming events, this game was played “hot seat” style, with new players rotating in every time a party member died in the dungeon. It’s always a roaring good time, and this event was no exception! So we hope you enjoy yet another delve into the randomly-generated insanity of HAMMERCRAWL!

BDaB #028: Summer Camp Special

Hop in the saddle and ride on down to Camp BDaB, and join us for our Summer Camp special! No, we’re not actually at a summer camp, but instead we’re here to talk about all things Camp-related. Our good friend Alex sits with us this evening, helping us down a mix of white russians and black russians, poured by Just Jacob. In our Bike Talk segment, we discuss tips and methods for safe and effective bike-camping, both motorized and non. In our Game Talk segment, we talk about various camp-frieneldy games, both those to play while out in the woods as well as those more appropriate for sitting ’round the fire. In our Bar Talk segment, we discuss the portable bar, and what drinks make for the most effective (and traditional) camp beverages. And stick around for some bonus goodies after the credits!

In our Bike Talk segment, DXG and JJ take a stab at educating us on some of the historical highlights of the usage of bicycles and motorbikes in warfare. In our Game Talk segment, we discuss some WWII-related gaming options, and talk about plans for an awesome potential new house campaign.
