The Offline Gamer

It's time for our review of UKGE 2021, and a chat about everything we saw over the course of the weekend!

In this second part of our preview of UKGE 2021, we talk about what we're excited to see at the show. We hope to see you there!

In this first part of our preview for UKGE 2021, Matt has a good chat with Richard Denning, one of the founders and directors of UKGE. We talk about the events that led up to the postponement and eventual cancellation of the 2020 show, moving to a virtual event, and what we can expect from the show in 2021. Thanks to Richard for finding an hour in his very busy schedule to have a chat to us!

In a break from our usual format, Matt is joined by artist, designer, and co-founder of DoodleMeeple Jamie Noble Frier to discuss the Hero Master Kickstarter, what DoodleMeeple is all about, and lots of other random topics to do with gaming.

Sorry for the delay this month.. illness and University work for Rai took priority! But we're back, and we talk about our usual topics and are joined by good friends Peter and James from Board Game Hub to talk about the upcoming Kickstarter for Tranquility: The Ascent

We've been in lockdown for a year! We chat about what we've been playing, and Matt shares some exciting news about an oft-mentioned Kickstarter...

Our first 'proper' episode of 2021, and we take a look at Kickstarter #ZineQuest. There's also our usual start of year shenanigans, but without our annual Kickstarter awards due to the fact that we've not played most of what we've received!

It's interviewer turned interviewee this episode, as for a change Matt is the one in the spotlight as Bez asks all the questions. Audio taken from 'Bezzy Beats & Boardgame Blether' on 23rd Jan 2021.

Back to normal this month, before our review of the year coming up in our next episode. What we've been playing is unsurprisingly a certain newly released PC game...

A short catch-up this week, were we talk about: - Raise Your Game - We raised £500 for charity! - Board Game Smackdown - The Offline Gamer Special! We also welcome back some returning guests, Pete and James from Board Game Hub who talk about (amongst other things) their new game on Kickstarter - Tessera.

It's been a while since we've done a regular episode, so this month we just have a catchup of what we've been playing since last time. Also, Matt is doing a board game Twitch stream at the end of October for the Raise Your Game event run by Dementia UK. For more information see https://justgiving.com/fundraising/qbie

Who'd have thought it, we've been doing this for five years! In this episode we look back over the past five years, as well as borrow a format from another podcast and discuss our top ten board games in our collection.

It's almost here, the first ever virtual UK Games Expo! We take a look at what we can expect over the weekend of the 21st to 23rd August! Virtually Expo Homepage - https://www.ukgamesexpo.co.uk/virtually-expo/ UKGE Awards Shortlist - https://www.ukgamesexpo.co.uk/whats-on/show/awards-shortlist/

In this episode Matt has a chat with comedian James Cook, probably best known amongst the board game community for his Always Be Rolling, Pandemic Live and Board Game Smackdown shows. Thank you James for taking the time to chat with us, and for more information about James and his various projects visit the following pages: www.jamescookcomedian.com www.youtube.com/jamescookcomedian www.twitter.co...

It's time for another episode of Meeple Mail, where we take a dive into our inbox to see what we've been sent over the past few weeks.

Matt's gone a bit crazy backing Kickstarters, and also has around 1700 games to play from the Bundle for Justice and Racial Equality. He's itching to play them... (See what we did there?)

It's been a month since our last Meeple Mail, so we have a bunch of emails to get through. Let's see what people have been sending us this month.

To celebrate our 50th episode, we've decided to put on a quiz! Joining us for this special occasional are some of our friends, but which one of them knows the most about games?

We're still stuck indoors this month, but that's no reason why Matt can't spend lots of cash backing Kickstarter projects he'll be able to play (hopefully) once lockdown is over...

Our inbox is virtually overflowing! Let's take a look inside in our next episode of Meeple Mail.

It's our first episode of Meeple Mail, where we take a look at the emails and press releases we get in our mailbox that we often neglect... Let us know what you think of this new addition to our podcast!

It's been a few weeks since our last episode, so we catch up on everything that's been going on in the world since, and have our usual chat about games.

It's that time of the year again, we talk about our usual topics but also bring you our top three Kickstarter games of 2019.

In this episode, we take a look at Tabletop Gaming Magazine's Top Games of 2019, and despair about how much we're missing out on. We're also joined by a special guest for a few minutes...

In this episode, we chat to Steve from Chance and Counters. Matt also talks for quite a while about what he's been playing during the rainy evenings after work, and we take a look at one of the less 'slapped together' satire games currently on Kickstarter.
