New Podcast Preview Episode (Part 1)!

Hello, everyone!  We are extremely excited to release Part 1 of our preview episode for Ravensdale Ramblings, our new podcast!

We have a few different plans for content as we move forward, but generally speaking we’ll be discussing board game design, focusing on things like mechanics, balance, theme, and even some of the more terrestrial stuff like manufacturing and shipping costs just to mix it up.

We’ll also be inviting guest designers to interview, along with fans of our games and friends of the company, to get different perspectives on what makes games of all kinds fun for people of all kinds.

While the preview episode lacks any fancy intro music or “hooks”, we will be ramping up and adding that stuff as we go.  In the meantime, we love to get feedback on what we’re doing, so we hope you’ll listen, like, share, and comment for Part 1 (Part 2 will be uploaded in a few days).

As always, thanks for being awesome and for tuning in!

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen!

We’re excited to announce the winner of Round 2 of our Weekly Trivia contest!  Please join us in congratulating backer SprayPaint for his second win during the trivia contest!  SprayPaint submitted 100% correct responses extremely quickly, so clearly he is keeping a close eyes on our announcements!

Now we’re posting up the questions for the fourth and final round!  But first, the rules:

You’ll have one (1) week to answer the current round of questions.  Answers can be found by browsing our website, our Facebook page, our Kickstarter page, our Twitter feed, our Instagram pictures, and a few media outlet pages that have covered V&H! in articles or videos.

The contest will run for four weeks, until the conclusion of our Kickstarter campaign.

Each week, the contestant that answers the most questions correctly in the shortest amount of time will win:

1. One Free Paid Add-On Expansion from the Villains & Henchmen! Kickstarter campaign (assuming we unlock those stretch goals)!

2. One Exclusive Digital Wallpaper featuring Variant Art for the Villains & Henchmen! box art!

Only one entry will be allowed per contestant; your first time stamped submission will be your “official” entry, so be sure to double check your answers before submitting them!

We’ve also ramped up the difficulty for the final round – no multiple choice options for this one, so you’ll have to do a little extra digging!  And now, for the Round 4 questions:

1.     In July of 2015, we introduced a new hero card to our fans on Facebook.  Which hero was it?

2.     At what convention did we manage to snag a picture of the Master of Magnetism himself?

3.     Which convention’s program book featured an ad for Villains & Henchmen! on the back cover?

4.     In a recent interview, Ben said that “being too close to a project can give you…” what?
