Welcome to Game Mechanics, where we kick the tires and run diagnostics on tabletop experience. Your hosts Logan and Greg talk everything tabletop games, board, TTRPGs and more.
We love a company that stands up for human artists so AEG gets our respect. But did AEG think about how much food a baby needs to be good at math? Also, what does NeoPets and Dungeon Crawler Carl have in common?

We have a new segment called Hasbro watch because somebody needs to keep an eye on them. And then we talk about the state of money in the TTRPG space. All we are saying is give indies a chance.

Are the tenants of Game Theory good for us? Are we just prisoners stuck in a dilemma called life? Or is there a better way and a way out? Let's talk about it. And here's some games about fighting fascism.
