Evil Genius Games goes crypto (again!), Dragonmeet, Muskbro and AI Podcasts
This episode of the GMS Magazine podcast kicks off with host Paco Garcia and co-host Chris from Dias XMachina chatting about Paco's recent trip to Dragonmeet in London.
After the Dragon Meet discussion, the hosts switch gears to talk about some recent news in the tabletop roleplaying game industry, starting with an investment announcement from Evil Genius Games. Evil Genius Games has secured funding from Alumni Ventures to develop a "games as a service" platform.
Paco and Chris turn their attention to everyone's (least) favorite billionaire, Elon Musk, and his recent comments about potentially buying Hasbro.
Moving on from billionaire shenanigans, Kickstarter projects that seems to be going nowhere.
Chris also shares his experience with Notebook LM, a Google tool that can generate podcasts from text. This leads to a discussion about the potential dangers of AI-generated content and the importance of verifying information.
Finally, Chris wraps up the episode with a review of the board game "Super Motherload". He describes the gameplay, highlighting its unique deck-building mechanics and "conveyor belt" board.
