Sun, 30 September 2007 There will be no All About Miniatures show for September. Earlier this month John was too busy to get together with Dan for recording; and, more recently, co-host Dan developed an illness that required hospitalization (never fear, a full recovery is expected last I heard). We will roll what we have recorded for the September show into the October show. See you next month!

Sun, 26 August 2007 This month, John and Dan begin a new year of shows giving the Rattlehead Games Rules Review of Anima: Tactics as well as the game's associated line of miniatures. The show also contains a review of Historicon and a year-end review of the podcast, the future of the podcast and John and Dan's favorite games in each genre. Unfortunately Episode 13 is somewhat unlucky, however, as the number 13 jinx corrupted the mail call segment; so, this episode has no mail call.
