About this episode

The hosts discuss collaboration in RPGs and managing board game collections.

Welcome to “But, Why Vikings?”. Each episode your hosts Tim Clare, Ava Foxfort, and Iain McAllister will answer a variety of tabletop related questions sent in to them by listeners. From tabletop etiquette to historical mysteries there is no question too esoteric for this group of gaming agony aunts. In this episode Ava and Tim answer a question about how to be a more collaborative player in an RPG and how to go about culling your boardgame collection. Our show notes links to games and sources we mention in running order. Games will have their BGG entry linked to, though we recognise that is not the only source of information on games.
