SST: The Expanded Universe

We’re constantly thinking of ways to make Soulstone Train a better podcast and for a while now I’ve been toying with ideas of how to achieve that.  For us, the podcast has always been about community, both our own local gaming group and the wider gaming world and we really want to incorporate that into the cast.  You’re already heard from a number of our local group and a couple of others but the scope is soon going to widen.

As we have a limited time and budget to bring you as many games as possible, we wanted to find a way to bring you more content and I think we can do exactly that.

Starting with episode 18, there will be a new section in each episode where different people come on and talk about a game they play and why you should think about playing it.  I have an initial list of people that we’ll be contacting to be our first passengers on the train so if you get a random email (or DM on twitter asking for your email address), you’ll know why.

Initially we want to cover some of the games that we’ve wanted to get to for a while, things like  Infinity, Bushido and Blood Bowl, but then expanding into whatever people get excited about.  It will hopefully be a good adventure into gaming for us and that should be good for the listeners too.

We touch on this idea in episode 17 which will be out later in the week.  In that episode we discuss;

Hobby updates
Sponsor (new discount code, presence at Reading Warfare trade show 16th/17th)
Twitter questions
Our fave SST moments of our first year
New section plug
Cards Against Humanity review
Getting better at games, does playing lots of games help?
D&D update (the conclusion of our first adventure)
Upcoming events (X-Wing tourney, Vapnartak)
