It's the day after Alaska's biggest tabletop gaming convention and the boys are feeling it.  Find out about a gaming convention from an organizers, players and sponsors perspective. Or listen to bad jokes, your call really.   

The guys try and talk about the new Space Wolves but get a little side tracked wondering about how Magnus functions.  We look at 40k based change.org petitions and see how effective they can be and the boys get hyped for the biggest Alaskan event to date... Battle zone Ursa.

In todays Mob Rules, Danny, Dave and Jon give away a subscription to Best Coast Pairings Subscription Service and take about having realistic expectations for upcoming releases.   Most importantly, to celebrate the international release of "Space Marine Heroes" the guys find out that direct Japanese to English translations can lead to some amazing new battle cries. For Bar! For the Brad Angels!

On this weeks Mob Rules, the guys imagine what other storied board game franchises could use a 40k license as we desperately attempt to make a buck from a quick rehash. Elsewhere, Jon takes a 730 mile round trip to play outside his meta and comfort zone, Danny continues to dominate the local ITC scene and Dave tags along to a casual team tournament.   All that and not much else, on a brand new Mob Rules

Cheating in 40k has been a hot button issue, and Mob Rules chooses to talk about ways to guarantee a fun game, and minimize a negative gaming atmosphere.  Danny challenges Dave and Jon to make a thousand point list with a secret "ingredient".  Is it a rip off of The Iron Chef? Probably, but Danny, Jon and Dave come up with three "amazing" lists.  Which is best? You decide.  The Boys talk Kill Team and their future plans, before getting distracted with Croupiers.

It's an extra special minisode as Danny, Dave and Jon talk about the new Games Workshop game, Kill Team!

Do you have some Q's? Because the guys have some A's.  Danny and Dave answer some burning 40k questions like "Can Space Marines Swim" and if a Paulius Blart, Mall Custode would be a successful movie franchise. If thats not enough, we look at some of the Kill Team previews as the boys prepare to go hard into the game over the next few months 

It’s a bumper episode as the guys talk Eisenhorn:Xenos, the brand new, almost 20 year old novel from Dan Abnett.  Follow us on Eisenhorns debut adventure, from the a little too on the nose world of Hubris, all the way to Giraffe Lovecraftian bizarre worlds.    Outro Music - "Crunk Knight" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/   Intro Music -"What You Want (version 2)" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

In a distant land far far away, surrounded by giant cheeseburgers, round abouts and the Queen's hairy va-jay-jay, a lone Alaskan found himself alienated, confused and without a large truck to tell him he was okay. But through his confusion he learned about himself, his meaning and found love in that same va-jay-jay. Now, Dave is back to tell you all about it. So, put on that favorite sock your granpa handed down to you the night he passed away, pour yourself a tall tasty glass of water you filtered after putting up with the sediment in the water for months after the line broke and bask in the dulcet tones of Mob Rules

It was a dark and stormy night, the recaf maker was on the fritz and the boiler was offline awaiting parts.  As you stumbled into the kitchen to see if you could find some calming tea to help calm your nerves from a tense day at the foundry the sound of glass hitting the floor in the living room broke your stride. Taking a step backwards to get a view of what happened you see three shadowed figures standing in your living room in a small circle staring at one another and at the broken glass. "Shit." I hope the heretic didn't hear that." "He isn't a heretic, he is clearly a xenos sympathizer and this is our jurisdiction." "Not at all, he is clearly a psychic and this is firmly within our jurisdiction." "Excuse me sir, but I was here first and he is a heretic. If you would both kindly leave so that I might dispatch him I would greatly appreciate it." "No, SIR, this is Not a case of simply heresy, he is a witch and needs to repent before death."  Your mouth moved faster than your brain as you heard your words fo

It has been a long hard road but Adepticon is behind us, memories were shared, grievances aired and more MDF than one should ever eat was eaten.  It was a thing.  But lets look forward, with LVO and AdeptiCon behind us, what does this mean for the tournament scene?  Meta shifts?  Points adjustments?  Who knows. Either way it is episode 72, so put on your favorite Mob Rules t-shirt with the blood stains from when your puppy bit you and one of her puppy teeth fell out, pour yourself a tall tasty glass of rubbing alcohol and bask in the intoxicating sounds of Mob Rules!

The guys are back and with Ted preparing for Adepticon, we talk about how to maximize the convention experience.  If that wasn't enough, there's more! Dave told us all about his "Hobby Essentials", but do Jon and Ted agree? We talk about what each of our can't miss hobby tools are. 

In a galaxy far far away many millions of years in the... past?  the Necrontyr were birthed.  With an intense desire for Disco and coke the Necronotyr lived short but bright lives.  With a desire for more longevity they strode out to find meaning and zen but instead found mass amounts of dick heads bent on taking their coke money.  Now we have the Necron, so our story goes. So put on that poncho that used to be the dog blanket you kept in the back of your hair-crusted Subaru, mix yourself up a tall tasty glass of various things you found in the freezer as well as some ginger and relax to the sultry tones of Mob Rules!

It is that time of the every-other-week again!  Mob Rules bringing the speaker noise to your ear holes.  How has it been this long without talking about the sister of battle?  Well, we are quickly plugging that gap in the dam.  Plug!  We also go into the custodes a little bit and talk about our favorite pasta... I think.  Maybe we didn't  Oh well.  Either way, sooooo, go ahead and get that your favorite BBQ rib bib on from that vacation to years ago to see your cousin Hank in Alabama, mix yourself up a nice talk tasty glass of wheat grass smoothie and relax in the warm, nurturing sounds of Mob Rules.

Late nights and dirty minds bring us the 69th installment of Mob Rules.  Danny steps in for Jon as we hit up Studio D (or is it Studio A.5?) and talk about the dirty Emperor's Children Legion/Chapter/Group/what ever.  But that is not all, what happens when you get packed into a room at LVO, you drink too much liquored up Slurpee and eat chicken wings, and who in the Hell is Nic?  So, take a moment, brush the popcorn crumbs off of your favorite dog blanket you use when you are too lazy to get a person blanket out of the closet, pour yourself a nice talk tasty glass of instant Hawaiian punch and bask in the melodic sounds of Mob Rules!
