Modiphius' Chris Birch & Unrelated Birthday Shenanigans (incl. Captain America: Civil War)

Sun May 29 2016

Meet Chris Birch, the fellow gamer behind the success of British publisher Modiphius, and in recent years Dragonmeet.

Thanks to our regular guest Garry, from The Role Play Haven, for making that interview possible.

Chris tells us about his journey which includes a lot of old school gaming, as well as the development, among other things, of Star Blazer Adventures and  Kickstarter projects including Achtung CthulhuMutant ChroniclesConanThunderbirds Co-operative Board Game...

Join us to hear about more ambitions for Dragonmeet or present and future Modiphius projects.

In parallel, and for completely unrelated reasons whatsoever, we go through London for Persephelia's birthday and head again for Westfield Stratford with Nala to see Captain America: Civil War.

Please consider contributing to my Patreon and/or joining us at the monthly "Le Drinks & Dices" on Monday June 27th at the Tattershall Castle or rating & reviewing the show on Stitcher.
