Andrew playtested his upcoming game Postcards from the Apocalypse, and finally got to play Battlestar Galactica: The Board Game (by Corey Konieczka, Fantasy Flight Games, 2008) and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shadows of the Past.
Zach got to give Sentinel Comics: The Role Playing Game a spin.
We also played Kokoro: Avenue of the Kodama, Gwar vs. Time (by Matthew Grau), Artemis Spaceship Bridge Simulator, and as always, Steve and Andrew debate the proper way to play Fishbowl.

This episode is sponsored by Exalted Funeral, and we talk about Kosmosaurs by Ennie Award winning game designer Diogo Nogueira of Old Skull Publishing and art by Łukaskz Kowalczu.
You’re a dinosaur. You’re a Kosmo Ranger. You’re a Kosmosaur—a protector of the galaxy. You and your companions travel through the stars to help all sorts of people, planets, and organizations by preventing disasters, battling assassin robots, banishing chaos mutants from the Void Dimension, and facing all kinds of weird dangers.
You play a Kosmosaur in this game. You’re a member of an elite force of dinosaur space rangers that defend the galaxy against all forms of threats, both internal and external. You fly in your spaceships, working as a team, acting as explorers, diplomats, defenders, and, if need be, soldiers against those that would destroy what was built by the many civilizations.
The game has a minimalist action focused system with a strong narrative bent. It is inspired mainly by two John Harper‘s games: Lasers & Feelings and Blades in the Dark. And the setting is inspired by the fantasy sci-fi cartoons of the 80s, especially the amazing Dinosaucers.
