News: We’re over halfway there in the Boiling Point Kickstarter, so help us push it over the edge!

Tom and I have some experience with this, so we talk about how to prepare for historical games and what kind of history works best. Even if you’re a player, this can help with your experiences enjoying this type of game. Tom also has a letter, plus we have shout and anecdotes.
