Fresh off the milestone 100th episode, Ty and Troy kick off "Season 2" of Playin' & Slayin' with a discussion about new editions in tabletop gaming. They share recent gaming adventures, hobby projects, crowdfunding finds, books, podcasts, and video games before diving into when a new edition improves a game—and when it misses the mark. From Warhammer 40K and Age of Sigmar to Dungeons & Dragons, X-Wing, Space Hulk, and classic board games, the hosts explore how rules updates can breathe new life into a game or leave players behind.
