 October AMA. Q&A Topics: Crowdfunding including what games we are excited about and various crowdfunding platforms with a focus on Gamefound, but also talk of Hasbro Pulse, Itch.io, OneBookShelf and Indiegogo. Making it in the tabletop industry, who makes more content creators or game designers? Games we most want to get to the table once it’s safe to game in person again. We also have two featured reviews: Chronicles of Crime 1400 from Lucky Duck games and The Shining Escape from the Overlook Hotel from The Op.
