This week I talk once again to Mr Stephen Baker the creator of Heroquest, Space Crusade, and Battle Masters to name just three! Stephen and I spoke first in Ep 257, in that episode we talked about his formative steps in the hobby and his first steps into the hobby industry, so if you havent listened to that yet then I recommend going back as it really sets the tone for this chat where we predominantly speak about Heroquest.

Heroquest is the starting point for so many of todays hobbyists and it is a brilliant example of so many iconic things coming together in one place. I wont spoil any of the chat but we start off talking about famous Stephen’s and we end up with me yelling BRODESODE…..We both hope you enjoy the chat.

This week I talk to Matthew from the Bedroom Battlefields Podcast about playing games at what we would call “non traditional times”. I would say that usually when we think of tabletop gaming we would think of playing at a club night during the week, or on a weekend afternoon.

I personally play early am on saturday morning, Matthew likes to play then too and so we had a chin wag about it, and here are the noises we made! Its a bit of a tiddler this week, that wont be the first time Matthew has heard something like that, but the show is quite short so I added an extra long post ramble ramble on specifically about why you should take a look at the A Song of Ice and Fire game.

This week I talk to Mark, we spoke back in episode 248 about him and his hobby history. This time we are speaking a bit about mental health. Today, the 10th of October 2025 marks mental health awareness day. Mark messaged me a while ago and wanted to put something together for it, so thanks Mark, nice one, we appreciate your care about this subject.
