RP # 046: From Nationals

In this new episode of The Reserve Pool, Dave, Evan, and Randy discuss the first day of Nationals from their hotel room in Glen Burnie, MD. It's a potpourri of topics, from the people to the gameplay to drafts and everything in between. Obviously this is taking place before the events of Day Two - so we're doing a little time travel here. Oh, and despite what we thought at the time of recording, they were indeed playing Star Trek Attack Wing at the tournament. Don't forget - you can always talk to us at mailbag@thereservepool.com!

RP # S01: Post-Nationals Car Talk

It's our very first BONUS EPISODE - the "S" is for Special! In this special episode, Dave - coming off a Top 8 performance, and Randy - who qualified for Day 2 and also won a draft event - dissect some things about WizKids Nationals as they make the trip home. It's pretty stream-of-consciousness and much less regimented than a normal episode.

Be aware that this is in a car - there is going to be road noise and perhaps an occasional unexpected sound. You have been warned! Don't forget that we have forums now, and you can always talk to us at mailbag@thereservepool.com! Direct link.

RP # 045: Theme Teams

Continuing the light tone from last week, Dave and Evan discuss recent gaming exploits as well as their plans for Nationals. Then, we dig in to some long-past-due mailbag items, including a look into the balance between lighter and heavier topics. Finally, we discuss one of those light topics - putting together fantastical teams based on different themes, what we consider when doing so, and an example or two! Listen at the end of the show for a breakdown of our Nationals coverage! Want to correspond? mailbag@thereservepool.com. Direct link.
