This has been on my mind for quite some time, and I feel like some of my opinions might be in the minority here, but I break down some aspects of both games, and talk about my feelings on if the changes made to 4th edition do in fact make the g
Okay, it's been a year, and it's time to finally dive back into both the podcast and game development. This is a general re-introduction from me, and a catch up on what's been going on, and where the state of my game design is at. I've also pla
Marcus and I went to the Twilight Imperium Tournament at Mox Boarding House. As you would expect it was an incredible day with some high highs and low lows, but ultimately it was 100% worth it, and we have quite a few stories to tell. My group
It's been a long time since my last episode. We've been selling our house, getting a new home, moving, and all the crap that goes along with that. But In the middle of it all, I sat down, opened up by development journal, and started talking ab
This is a big catch-up episode from my couple month hiatus. I've been selling our house, which means I haven't had time to record anything recently. This episode is a mixed bag, but I do talk about Netrunner, learning to really play Leaving Ear
We're back! Or at least I'm back. After a 2 month hiatus, I get back on the microphone to talk about what's going on in our life and why I haven't been recording any episodes. Also, We've been playing Gloomhaven, Kingdom Death Monster, City of
What a show. Jessica and Ben join me to do a round table discussion on our first couple campaign encounters of Kingdom Death: Monster. As it goes, we veer WAY off topic and end up talking about Dark Souls, MOBA's, PUBG, and the amazing Child's
We're back! In the first episode of 2018, my friend Conor and I sit down to discuss a recent game of Twilight Imperium 4th Edition, becuase what else do we talk about on this podcast! We get pretty deep into strategy, how table position, neighb
Here we go. It's been a long time coming, and I've been craving this ever since I first heard about the new edition. After months of waiting, we finally sat down and played a 6 player game. It was all that I hoped it would be, and more. I discu
This episode is a diversion from the norm, but something I'm interested in exploring further. I spent a couple days doing a lot of development work on my Colony Ship game, and in the middle of working on it, I thought it would be prudent of me
It's finally here! We know there's been a lot of news and reviews surrounding Twilight Imperium, but it was too good of an opprotunity to pass up. I'm joined by Ben and Joseph, who chat with me while we unbox the game, talk about it's component
If I talk about space stuff in every episode, then what's the point of calling this a space cast? I talk about Twilight Imperium obviously, because what else is there to talk about. We played a 3 player game the other day, and it ended up being
This episode is called the Megadump, but it ended up being called the Megadump part 1, because I ran out of time and only talked about half the things I wanted to. So for this episode, I go over some news about one of my favorite games, Eclipse
Well, Ben and I went off the rails this time. We had an agenda, with a list of games to talk about, but then our copy of Kingdom Death arrived after a year of waiting. The excitement got to us, and we spend the whole time unboxing it live on th
After a full day of both Twilight Imperium and Rebellion, it was enough to make me want to never activate another system as long as I live. Of coure, that only lasted about a week. I discuss my thoughts about the day of space games, what went w
My good friend Marcus joins me to talk about our upcoming 5 player Twilight Imperium day. Strategy is the main course here, how to navigate the strategic waters when there are 348 separate variables to consider; all with game changing consequen
Oh look, another episode where Twilight Imperium is the main feature! Seriously though, there's amazing news of the 4th edition, which I go into detail about. Also, I play XIA which is wonderful, and I talk about the first full playthough of Co
I intended to talk about much more than Twilight Imperium, but it was such a big thing that happened just last week, so I guess it was fresh in my mind. I lay out on the table all that happened that day, and get deep into some strategic instanc
Today I'm talking about a paradigm shift in the development of Project X. Taking into account all that I've learned so far, I've decided to put the brakes on the actual development process so I can focus on making something with some tight cons
I just finished my Imperial Assault campaign, and I go through some of the things I loved about it, and some of the things I definitely did not like. Then, we talk about the mechanics and how an experience like that can inform the design of Pro
Ben and I sit down for an hour and talk about our experiences at ETX, what we learned from our game design sessions, and what inspiration we gained. We also dig into designing luck vs. skill into games, as well as tackling the difficult subject
In this second episode of the Omega Fourteen Podcast, I talk in depth about Twilight Imperium, Eclipse, and other games that directly inspired the games I'm working on. I also introduce Project X, which is the grand game that I've been working
