Thanks captainmeme for the shout out :-)

For webDip aficionados, the podcast aims to focus on the site here. We're all about playing Dip online, so if you find that's enjoyable and relevant for you, you'll probably get a kick out of it.

Please PM me or kaner406 here at webDip, or contact us from the http://www.diplomacygames.com site for suggestions and feedback!

Oh, and Google Play has now listed the podcast too!

Hi folks, the second episode of Diplomacy Games - a podcast about playing Diplomacy online - is now live at DiplomacyGames.com, iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher and where all good podcasts are pumped out.

This time - for the WebDip crew - we turn Classic on its head with a deep dive into the Fog of War version of Classic. How does game play radically change when all you can see are territories immediately adjacent to your units and SCs. Plus we talk Mods and upcoming developments in the variant space.

Enjoy!

I like it.

Thanks Pompeii :-)

Your "Play the most recent episode" button doesn't work, by the way.

Thanks Leon, yeah, my HTML skills are a bit crappy. I'll see what I can do to fix that!

Appreciate you letting me know.

Listening now, thanks guys! You know that there's a face to face tournament in Melbourne at the beginning of December?

Listening over a pint in a pub here. I feel the need to point out that we intentionally don't use the ancmed army/fleet replacements. Using the same units throughout the site promotes consistency.

But this is great stuff!

Ha! excuses excuses :-)

Enjoy your pint!

Leon - worked out how to fix that link, thanks again!

In episode 3 we look at the Italian Renaissance variant Rinascimento. What's great about it, what's bad about it, and how based on recent Forum talk it can be improved. Then its onto a game inside a game (how very enigmatic), with the variant Bourse.

Pop over to DiplomacyGames.com or subscribe in iTunes or Stitcher. Don't forget if you like the show give us a rating or review from there too. It really helps.

Only listened to one episode so far, but why is it recorded in a noisey atmosphere? So irritating.

Thanks orathaic for the feedback.

I take on board your comments, but all the PM's we've received to date about the podcast actually really love the atmosphere. It's just a couple of guys catching up in a bar over a few drinks. I've actually had a number of players let me know that it makes them feel like they're in the bar, and they often go and crack open a beer and listen.

We enjoyed having a drink or too and weighed up the risk of it being too noisy in the background. If you thought episode 1 was noisy, wait until you hear episode 2! That said episode 3 has the quietest background so far (ditto ep 4 which hasn't been released yet but was recorded at the same venue.)

I quite enjoy the background. G'day diplomacy with Bruce and Sheila works extremely well. I've not listened to a whole one yet, but as something to put on in the car on the way back from work it's a winner.

Dr Karl's science podcast now has a rival!

@The Ambassador, fair enough, i think your choice is insane, but it is yours...

Also your audience are clearly cretinous deviants of the worst sort :p

LOL, thanks Octavious and orathaic :-D

May I suggest you use your podcasts to promote WebDiplomacy to potential new members in the public

Thanks MajorMitchell - all for ideas on how to get more players into the game. PM or post here any thoughts you have on how we can achieve that with the podcast.

Hi folks, well its that time again - Episode 4 of the DiplomacyGames.com podcast!

Visit the website or search and subscribe on iTunes,Stitcher or Google Play for Kaner and my take on the variant World War IV and the highly entertaining Google Translate Diplomacy - which could be so easily played here at webDip.
