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!
