In this episode we discuss the indie game, Faster Than Light. It’s easily Paul’s favorite game at the moment, and while we hadn’t all played it as much as him we definitely had some strong opinions on the topic.
This was a test podcast, so not all the 10-hp regulars are present and this wasn’t an official “game of the month” selection. Instead we just discussed a game we had all played, and got the kinks of the system worked out for the first official broadcast that we will record next week. Then we will slip into a regular monthly schedule starting with the next game nominated.
Next week we will discuss Sins of a Solar Empire: Trinity as nominated by Glorious. Send us your questions and comments, about this show, the upcoming game Sins, or anything else you feel needs your attention at podcast@10-hp.com.
