amDirt
A Master's Degree in Rolling Terribly
Detty and Gaz, two Melbourne mates just sitting back and chatting board games, or at least they will after they finish their Frosthaven campaign. Before they cover their world within board games and how their gaming group tackles genres, mechanics and social situations; they're first taking you on a journey through a lightly spoiled campaign of Frosthaven, with discussions surrounding observations, strategies, decision making and loads of laughs. There's always a bit of banter, insights and recaps of some terrible rolling... amDirt style.

Ep 24: We're Lumen Large, de-lightful! 25.06.2023 1:12:22
Due to the denizens of Frosthaven suddenly deciding its cold, we head for a heat source toward scenario 33... and are surprised when creatures at our destination don't take kindly to our folk around there.. Phil's solo scenario wrap up... *Note this episode will be the first one with some video of the recording, so for those that might be interested head over to our YouTube page and take a look* F...
Ep 23: Feeling crabby... Bug off! 18.06.2023 1:08:59
We continue where we left off last week with Scenario 25, heading straight to the alarm and flashing lights, ready to see if the Frosthaven devs will throw even more complex mechanics at us... Gaz has an announcement, and due to a change in my editing software I can no longer (for the moment) bleep out swear words... (although they're far and few in between). It has been 1 week since Phil last pul...
Ep 22: Robots... bad on so many levels... 11.06.2023 1:08:37
We dive into scenario 16 on the mechanical beings quest chain, and head down via elevator to get some basement bargain savings! 2 scenarios of rather different questionable game mechanics, 3rd time be a charm? It has been 0 days since Phil last pulled his Miss. A big shout out to Frank for his emails in clarifying some deathwalker questions we had going. Find us on: Instagram at am_dirt Twitter @U...

Ep 20: A deathly walk and talk 28.05.2023 51:22

Find us on: Instagram at am_dirt Twitter @UamDirt YouTube @amdirt Or contact us di...
Ep 19: Gamemania V 28.05.2023 1:08:28
We've just completed our annual board gaming event Gamemania which is essentially a weekend away playing heaps of boardgames and enjoying a small holiday. Due to not being able to play Frosthaven this week we instead wanted to talk a bit about some of the games we played, and how we felt about them and their place in our game group. It's not so much reviewing games, but more so how certain games m...
Ep 18: That sinking eeling.. 22.05.2023 1:01:26

Ep 16: Disarmed to the teeth 07.05.2023 1:14:49
We are back and heading straight to scenario 10, back to Algox territory (to escape snow imps). We have our first winter road/outpost events and does Detty retire and if he does... does he choose to roll a Snowflake or "it's a trap!"? A new enemy takes the crown for our most hated monster and we open our mailbag dubbed The Dirtbag! One of our listeners reached out and gave us a wonderful email, an...
Ep 15: Role reversal if you catch our Drift 30.04.2023 1:09:10
We didn't get to play this week as we had life events on, but we used the opportunity to have another chat about Frosthaven, Boardgames and adjacent topics.

Ep 14: Boaty McBoatface? 23.04.2023 1:17:39

Ep 13: Hit a shelf, got booked... 16.04.2023 1:19:50
This week we venture into Scenario 21, to deal with a pesky dude who was trying to become the next jigsaw. We fell (of course) into this scenario and learnt how to work together for a change to overcome a Dyson sponsored room, a ball of ouchies and a room full of invincible furniture. We discuss some emails we received and the geminate finally hits a fat juicy milestone. Stick around after the out...
Ep 12: S-imp-ly deja vu? 09.04.2023 55:11
This week we take on an earlier scenario with scenario 8! We finally travel east in the hopes of fighting something super unique and different... not imp-ossible right? We have a little discussion of some games that were played recently in Sidereal Confluence and Stationfall before going into our usual routine of post scenario report. I now remember why my dps was so low... I had 2 fat misses... F...
Ep 11: Wolf Hound Dog Man Bear Pig 02.04.2023 56:48
We delve into a Random Scenario this week as we switch up the flow and try somewhere completely different. We tackle scenario 112 and it proves to be a winner with smiles all around. We also see one of the.... fattest.... heals... ever in FH (for us). I may or may not forget to mention the outpost phase this week but we did do one... it just wasn't that eventful. Feel free to throw us a DM if you...

Ep 9: Two Rooms and a Boom (not the party game) 26.03.2023 1:26:46
Ohhhhhhhh and we thought we were doing so well, but it was inevitable that we were going to get pulled up for rules mistakes and we absolutely welcomed it. We reveal feedback that was given to us and had a little chat about some of it. We dive into scenario 114 which continued the trend of special rule purple boxes and how large they appear to be getting. We discuss this particular scenario a litt...
Ep 8: Two scoops of no preparation please! 19.03.2023 1:31:56
We are back with the Frosthaven campaign and we took on 2 scenarios this week. We begin with Scenario 13 and experience some new friends, new systems and a new way to be very annoyed. We then head over to Scenario 32 where... we begin to see an episodic theme occurring... A longer episode than normal but was incredibly fun to play and record. Scenario 13 begins and then around 48:40 we head toward...

Ep 2: How do we play this again? S'no idea! 20.02.2023 1:03:16
