In this episode of The State of Games, Monkey and Dice take a look back on their past month of constant on-the-road adventures at various cons, such as WBC and GenCon, and special gaming events like a Celebration of Gaming at Labyrinth Games in Washington, DC. The duo share tales of unpublished prototypes like Paul Owens' meaty and fulfilling East India Company, getting to see how Ben Rosset's The Market has morphed into Nevermore Games' Mars Needs Mechanics, and how far Clever Mojo Games' Princes of the Dragon Throne has come since Origins. All this, plus Dice's constant name-dropping from GenCon, how Monkey has a vendetta against games that feature "cards with words," the joys of sharing brownie sundaes, VivaJava demos, Jason Kotarski's joys of hauling, and a look at Smash Up, Seasons, Morels, and Vegas!
