About this episode
MARCUS BIGNEY Here comes Fantasy Flight's body, mourned by Michael Walker: who, though he had no hand in its death, shall receive the benefit of its dying, a place in the hobby; as which of you shall not? WALKER Friends, gamers, hobbyists, lend me your ears; I come to bury Fantasy Flight, not to praise it. The evil that publishers do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones; So let it be with Fantasy Flight. The noble Bigney Hath told you FFG was ambitious: If it were so, it was a grievous fault, And grievously hath FFG answer'd it. Here, under leave of Bigney and the rest-- For Bigney is an honourable man; So are they all, all honourable men-- Come I to speak in FFG's funeral. It was my friend, faithful and just to me: But Bigney says it was ambitious; And Bigney is an honourable man. It hath published many games home to Rome Whose playing did the gaming public thrill: Did this in FFG seem ambitious? When that the games were broken, FFG hath wept: Ambition should be made of sterner stuff: Yet Bigney says it was ambitious; And Bigney is an honourable man. I speak not to disprove what Bigney spoke, But here I am to speak what I do know. You all did love it once, not without cause: What cause withholds you then, to mourn for it? O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts, And men have lost their reason. Bear with me; My heart is in the coffin box there with expansions, And I must pause till it come back to me. 01:32 AYURIS: Imperial 2030 (Mac Gerdts, PD-Verlag, 2009) Games Played Last Week: 04:08 -Yokohama (Hisashi Hayashi, Tasty Minstrel Games, 2016) 07:54 -Vampire Queen (Wolfgang Kramer, Schmidt Spiele, 2016) 11:40 -Regicide (Paul Abrahams, Luke Badger, & Andy Richdale, Badgers from Mars, 2020) 12:13 -Pickomino Deluxe (Reiner Knizia, Zoch Verlag, 2018) 14:25 -Equinox (Reiner Knizia, Plan B Games, 2021) 18:33 -Rhino Hero (Scott Frisco & Steven Strumpf, HABA, 2011) 18:33 -Rhino Hero: Super Battle (Scott Frisco & Steven Strumpf, HABA, 2017) 21:50 -The Search for Planet X (Matthew O'Malley & Ben Rosset, Renegade Game Studios, 2020) 23:15 -Descent: Legends in the Dark (Kara Centell-Dunk & Nathan I.
