Love board games? Let’s talk boardgames, lots of board gaming (and a few RPGs). Tabletop Bellhop, your cardboard concierge, is here to answer your gaming and game night questions, helping you make your game nights better with tabletop game reviews and advice.
Tonight we start with a discussion about what to do when one or more players don’t show up for an RPG session. We follow that up with a review of the The One Ring Starter Set. Then we wrap up with some board game content with a Charterstone update, plays of Ex Libris and Downfall of Pompeii, plus first thoughts on Discover Lands Unknown and Spell Smashers, and more!
Episode 171, recorded May 4th. Join us Wednesdays at Eight PM Eastern at https://www.twitch.tv/tabletopbellhop
