So...yeah. The audio file for this episode got screwed up, and we lost probably half of our discussion. Josh valiantly tries to re-record the first couple topics in brief (Baron Z, new releases, Uthuk dominating Regionals), but then we do have Shane and Justin for the rest of the discussion:

Regionals! (We're almost done with the season)

Ventala (beef on the hoof?) - Shane's been playtesting them, they're good!

Kethra's Party Tent (or Doom Tent, for you non-Uthuk armies) - Finally, the Uthuk speed fix! (Really, don't worry about it though)

Apologies to Shane and Justin for losing some of their excellent (as usual) thoughts, and to you all for having to bear with the weirdness of this episode, but thanks for listening!

Different meta (no Uthuk there) but Waiqar actually won the Scottish Regional at Common Ground in Stirling

Eight players, two Daqan, three Waiqar and three Latari. We ended up with a top three containing all the represented armies. The tournament results were pretty close. I’m taking that as a positive thing. If we exclude the Uthuk power difference, we seem to have a pretty balanced game ?

(I know it’s a single data point but I’m still buzzing after my first tournament so I’m being super positive about the game)

Oh and thanks for getting me through a long run last night. I caught up on the Baron Z preview edition and Runewars made the miles fly past.

I am looking forward to listening today, but first I had to say that the title of this episode makes me laugh so hard! ? Well done!

The title is all @Zetan ! Thanks @Suhawk75 , and we really liked looking at the results of your Regional - interesting stuff!

"They're cow people dressed like deer!"

Yes! We at The Runecasters came to the same conclusion about their similarity to cows. But then Aaron blew my mind when he said their tails are Dead ringers for Maegan's moose. Maybe they're moose-cow-people dressed like deer?

Half man, half bear, and half pig....

So are they half moose-deer and half person, or half moose-people and half deer?

And then they respond, "If we are drunk, it is on the blood of our enemies! The time has come: summon the CHAOS LORD!"

FFG: "What have we done?"

Nope, nope, nope. Put that Chaos Lord back, we don't have the license for that anymore. Can't have that, lawsuits, you know. Just put him back where you found him, okay?

If I remember, at some point you guys mentioned the Indianapolis regionals. Jukey and a write up about it but it was 3 Latari and my Waiqar.
