Episode 45: Terry Thomas talks Tabletop Roleplaying Games, board games, and working in the TTRPG business

We're back in Texas with Terry Thomas of Tabletop Plus for Episode 45 of Tales from the Fandom.

After finding Terry and his company on Instagram and liking what I saw, I reached out to him and we connected back in October.  If you are into roleplaying games or board games, this podcast is definitely geared to you.

We first talk about roleplaying games, hitting on games such as Dungeons and Dragons, Pathfinder, Star Frontiers, Diplomacy and a game called Tephra, a steampunk rpg.  We also hit on Savage Worlds and the Star Wars RPG by Fantasy Flight.  We also talk about getting kids into RPG's early and how it definitely changes the dynamic of the game.

We move from books and dice to board games next, and not in the traditional sense as we hit on games such as Settlers of Catan, Arkham Horror, Bloodbowl and more.  We talk about their rise to prominence from the late 90's to present day.

From there, Terry talks to me about being on the other side of the industry with his company, Tabletop Plus.  He talks about getting into the gaming business with the tabletop gaming enhancements that he does. Terry talks about his product, costs associated with it and the benefits that it adds to a game.
