    110: Bright Disaster (Mystery grab bag!)(not really: Mewgenics, Ichor, Iliad, Solani)
    Mar 16 2026
    Hi all! Sometimes you gotta be informal, amirite? I mean, there's the episode you prepare, you take notes for, and it ends up being mightily fine. Some other times you don't prepare for it, and the unique combination of naivety, earnestness and relaxation makes for something special... a special kind of disaster, that is. This is one such peculiar episode (I wonder how we end up still having listeners after these intros). I think the team really has to thank Cara for the effort she puts into it. In Italy they say "perle ai porci", which roughly translates "pearls to pigs", to indicate when someone gifts you something nice and you are so unable to appreciate it that it's utterly wasted. After all, you have to talk in the same episode about eugenics and human minorities, what could go wrong? Hey, we all have THAT episode. And THAT is THIS one. The episode begins pretty normal (normal for the course, that is) with a Standee Catch-up, then it's Fen talking about a Steam game (board-adjacent) they defined "KDM-esque", Mewgenics!, and something something about news in Magic: The Gathering - it must have to do with the new set about Ninja Turtles and why it is not as terrible as the communal judgment would have it. Sometimes, I wish I had notes. Then it's Alessio, who talks about two reasonably recent Knizia classics, Ichor and Iliad, and explains us his preference. Whatever that means. It's mostly speaking ill of cloth mats. And you know what does NOT have cloth mats? Cara's game. With its more culturally appropriate neoprene. Nah, I'm joking. Cara is the one who was actually prepared, remember? Hey, there's no 'I' in 'team'. And apparently, there is none in 'Standee' either. But a man can dream...

    109: Archetypal Re-sources (Neta-tanka, Bubzium, The Old King's Crown)
    Mar 2 2026
    In the end, we are all either Standees or Meeples. It's just that "meeple" is kind of trademarked. No, really, go checking if you need. Done? Well, welcome to episode 109 of The Last Standee Podcast! In the grand scheme of things, we belong to the standee category. Mostly copy-left, done with whatever arts&craft project brought us into existence. It was messy. Anyway! This is the episode where we talk about sources and resources! After the usual catch-up, we have Cara talk about Neta-tanka, a resource management game with some noteworthy mechanichs she... liked? Disliked? Look, it's complicated. That's why she made a review. It has to do with archetypes. Everything has. It's the meeple/standee thing from above, cranked up to "existential". But speaking of archetypes, there's Alexis with Bubzium, the next great sourcebook from Hollow Press, you'll remember them from Vermis, maybe. Anyway, I won't even start describing it here, because words will fail the experience. All we can comfortably say is that Hollow Press found their niche, and comfortably so. We kept the dessert for last. Mix in resources, and a good source worldbuilding, in the archetypal old kingdom, to talk about The Old King's Crown with Alessio, a dear, endearing game from late summer 2025 which is getting on and off the BGG Hotness these last days. Good timing you say? Remember that the day right after this episode is out, the "reprint + expansion" campaign will start! Hey-hey, you are welcome! As usual, happy gaming until next time!

    108: Initiatives in Inferno (Cosmere RPG, Splittermond RPG, Dante's Inferno)
    Feb 14 2026
    Hello loyal listeners, hope you like discussing RPGs and Initiatives, because if that's the case, you are in for a treat! Presenting team today is Fen, Audrey and Cara! Right after the usual Standee Catch-up, we have Audrey discuss The Cosmere Roleplaying Game System, one which we could define "a system with a plan", err, "a plot" - a fresh take on familiar d20-based mechanics. After that, we have a first attempt to bring the familiar format of "Cara's Reviews Corner" to RPGs with Splittermond, a spiritual successor to The Dark Eye RPG - how did she go? I guess I'll discover it with you! Finally, Fen brings back the boardgames with a review of Dante's Inferno. Where's the initiative, you ask? Oh, simply EVERYWHERE. Listen to the episode, you'll discover soon enough!
