Dice Hate Me

I’m Chris. I play games. Lots and lots of games. I created Dice Hate Me as a place where I can talk about and review games, preview upcoming titles, write ridiculous and (sometimes) humorous things, and generally spread some paper and boardgaming love. Dice Hate Me is more than just a title, though – it’s a gaming lifestyle. You see, I have really bad dice karma. I’m pretty lucky in life, but hand me a pair of dice in a game and I’m dead meat. I’m the guy that always lands on Boardwalk when somebody owns it. I’m the guy that never gets a Yahtzee. Yeah, I’m the guy that avoids the craps table in Vegas as if it were a minor demon. Still, even though dice hate me, I love them. The little bastards.

In this episode of The State of Games, we have a nice chat - again! - with favorite guest Richard Launius, designer of the classics Arkham Horror, Elder Sign and Defenders of the Realm. The trio discuss Richard's current design in Defenders of the Realm: Battlefields, his involvement with the latest Sentinels of the Multiverse expansion, his feelings on Kickstarter, and some future projects in pulp and pirates. All this, plus talk of Origins plans, some morbidly humorous gameplay in Village and Infarkt, the fan-favorite Hawaii, Darrell Louder's chemistry brainchild Compounded, and progress on our very own Take the Bait, Soapbox Derby and VivaJava. Come on in, the water's packed!

In this very special episode of The State of Games, we get the scoop on the identity of the mysterious Mr. White mentioned in Episode 28, plus some new developments that may mean a change in the future scope of the board gaming hobby. With guests Richard Bliss and Erik Dahlman, some deep discussions of Amazon game fulfillment, the coming "tsunami" of board games on Kickstarter, and what this all has to do with Mr. White, dragons, the Borg, espionage and the dichotomy of epic scale versus boutique service, this promises to be one of our biggest episodes yet.

There are many divisive subjects within the realm of the board game hobby, but none seem as bold nor more passionately discussed than luck. Luck defines genres, often determines the difference between abstract and Ameritrash, and, for some, can determine whether a game is fun or a flop. In this very special episode of The State of Games, we are joined by veteran Kickstarter patriarch and storytelling game entrepreneur Daniel Solis in a rousing discussion about the role of luck amidst role-playing and tabletop games. All this plus Carnival, Fleet, Do: Pilgrims of the Flying Temple, VivaJava, and other Kickstarter darlings!

In this very special episode of The State of Games, we are joined at Dice Hate Me HQ by PuppyShogun, aka T.C. Petty III, designer of VivaJava: The Coffee Game. The three of us delve into the varied processes of game design and development, as well as what gaming themes, mechanics and veteran designers inspire us. Sharing even more about game design is Touko Tahkokallio - the designer of the smash hit Eclipse - in an exclusive interview with Matt Morgan from MTV Geek. All this, plus looks at the current Kickstarter projects Chicken Caesar and Fleet, as well as the out-of-control Masters of Commerce and some very naughty nuns on the run!

In this special episode of The State of Games, Dice and Monkey travel to Dover, Delaware to attend the second annual Unpublished Games Festival! While there, the pair met some old friends, made some new ones, played a ton of unpublished games about salmon, jivecats, chemical fires and selling vacuums, and got some great feedback on the upcoming VivaJava. And speaking of VivaJava, this episode features a bonus interview with designer T.C. Petty III where he talks about design inspiration, burritos and betting on the ponies. The Kickstarter campaign begins now - get ready to Get Caffeinated!

In this episode of The State of Games, Monkey and Dice sit down for a talk with their good gaming friends Shawn and Jacki about the best games for couples (and multiple couples), the allure of the Cold War for female gamers, and how digital gaming can sometimes bring couples together. All this, plus 7 Wonders, plotting world domination from the tabletop and the answer to the clue: "my horse's seat is on fire."



Two pair sometimes beats a full house:

In this episode of The State of Games, Monkey and Dice reminisce about the most memorable moments in the past year of gaming - from drunken igloo shaking, to death by taint, to that "aha" moment when Carnival first came to life. It's a retrospective that's made only more special because of all of the wonderful listeners and fans that have joined the Dice Hate Me family in the past year. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year from our gaming table to yours!
