Then after the news, as requested by the Nerdcognito Nation, the boys revisit, run down, and review the excellent co-op/traitor board game, Unfathomable! ----more----Grab The Village of Greenhaven NOW!PRINT ON DEMAND NOW AVAILABLE!

Nerdcognito talks to... Daniel D. Fox?!? (yes, THAT Daniel D. Fox) Uh oh."Infamous" RD and Kyle sit down with the "notorious" Daniel D. Fox, creator of Zweihander, alleged destructor of The Trove, and all around polarizing figure in the TTRPG space. Publicly politically misaligned with the guys AND potentially on the opposite end of the gaming spectrum, what odd cosmic alignment brought these two forces together? Tough questions will be asked, and hopefully answered. Could an impossible alliance be formed? Does someone storm out? Is there punch and pie?Be sure to sit back and enjoy one of the very rare interviews given by the one and only Daniel D. Fox. ----more----Grab The Village of Greenhaven NOW!PRINT ON DEMAND NOW AVAILABLE!
