Get ready for a deep-dive "Crossover Special" as Beer, Blues, and BS joins forces with Howard’s Cave of Wonder! This week, Howard Blues and LCL Geek are taking over the microphones to nerd out on everything from tabletop tactics to high-speed police chases. Plus, a huge announcement from Howard. The Triple B will never be the same!
The duo breaks down the "Bismarck-Mandan pursuit" that literally happened right before recording, before pivoting into a masterclass on board games. Whether you’re curious about the best player count for a D&D session, why some classic games like Catan might be overrated, or how to fix a chewed-up TMNT puzzle with nothing but PVA glue and sheer will—this episode has you covered.
Plus, we’re celebrating the launch of LCL Geek’s new YouTube channel, "Local Lego Builder," and discussing the strange world of 3D printing and crowdfunding.
Inside this episode:
- Gaming Deep Dive: Why 4th Edition D&D is actually good, the "overrated" status of Catan and Monopoly, and the best mechanics for your next game night.
- Lego News: LCL Geek officially launches his new channel, "Local Lego Builder," and shares the secrets of high-speed time-lapses.
- Bismarck Local: The inside scoop on a high-speed SWAT pursuit and a car appointment nightmare.
- Parenting Level 100: How to raise the next generation of gamers and why you should never let a baby near a TMNT puzzle.
