 Feeling the Heat - Start of Summer AMA - Besides answering questions from our chatroom live tonight, we’ve got a lot of feedback from last week's topic of dealing with a stubborn gamer not willing to try new things. I’ve also got a preview of Shadow Kingdoms of Valeria, the latest Valeria game from Daily Magic Games. Then for our Bellhop’s Tabletop segment, I’ve got my first thoughts on Katana and Super Cats, some more Shadow Kingdoms of Valeria including solo play and an attempt to play The Mind with my kids.
