Episode 14 - Essen Around

Welcome to Brainwaves a fortnightly podcast bringing you the best in Boardgame and Tabletop Gaming News. In this episode the chaps cover the latest in Star Trek announcements, more boardgames coming to digital, and computer games influencing RPGs. They also take a visit to the lovely quiet town of Arkham for a swathe of news about Iain's favourite game. Sam gets the lowdown on Essen from Jamie and Iain and they all chat about the benefits, or not, of FAQ and errata in games.
