Beyond the Wall Podcast Istaril Danny S. Sam B. Darknoj Kody C. Chris S. Wolves of the North
Click here for the podcast.We've outdone ourselves again, if we say so ourselves (and we do). Also, we run... borderline ridiculously long. It's been 5 years since our last Deluxe box, we're allowed to get excited. We start with the news (Did you hear?: Wolves of the North was released!). To celebrate the release, we bring on Chris S. to tell us about his local release-day event in SoCal. A tip of the week, and then we're off to the races to review the deluxe box, adapting our "player types" format to the larger box. I won't give away what player types we have this week, but the players themselves include 2 Time World Champ* Sam B., Calling the Banners's Kody C., and Thrones designer Danny S.. Yes, that's right. They then proceed to rub in the fact that they all have local regionals you should attend, and Darknoj and I do not.

Errata:
-Neither the Tournoi de la Main nor Zaragoza will be using Wolves of the North.
-James W won a 25+ man SC with Tyrell in early March, but it didn't make it to the Annals until recently, hence it slipping my mind.

Great episode, as usually. I'm really looking forward for our first polish Regionals in Szczecin next weekend to see how the new Stark box will do among all those Lannisters, Targaryens, Baratheons and Greyjoys.
And by the way: our polish edition Wolves of the North box is made of a solid cardboard, like the old 1st edition ones. Which surprised me after I listened two the last episode. It's nice, especially because it have an extraordinary artwork on it.
That's really weird. Presumably it involves a slightly different layout and templating - so additional work for the graphic designer. I always assumed that while localization was done, umm, locally, the printing process was still centralized (in China) - this would imply there's at least one other printing facility - possibly in Germany (according to their "upcoming" site)? I'd be curious to get a good comparison of the cardstock and other printing features.
Another great episode as usual. I just have one piece of constructive criticism. Can you please include more facts about Ser Gregor Clegane. I find this character very interesting and love hearing more information about him. It helps with my immersion into the game.
Thank you!
1) This is why we can't have nice things, Rob.
2) A quick erratum: Wolves will not be legal for either of the big European tournaments this weekend (Zaragoza and Tournoi de la Main).
I don't know where the hell Jon was looking for the British and Irish Regionals, but the locations are clearly up on the distributor's website. Dates are still TBC, but AFAIK
Bristol: May 7th
Seaham: May 22nd
Stoke: May 29th
Birmingham: June 4th
Manchester: June 18th
Reading: July 23rd
Dates TBC
Glasgow (Though I WILL Murder them if it is the 9th/10th of July)
Dublin (See above)
Can I plead that it was added over 180 entries after it occured, and I can't sort by date added, so it never showed up on my radar?
Given that you told me about having entered it earlier this week, I suppose not, eh?
Erratum added!
You mean it was added the second time only 180 entries after it occurred, right? (I seem to recall that being one of the victims of the Annals going down, correct me if I'm wrong...)
Nope, it wasn't. It would have been, had it been entered, but it wasn't (to my knowledge). Given how often I pestered JC to do it, I imagine he'd have told me if it had been!
As a general rule, the UK doesn't seem to submit tourney results. I can't seem to convince them to do so... it must be the language barrier.
At the time the tournament was completed (and I had access to the stats), the Annals were down. The Annals went back up when it was too late for me to do it myself, and by the time a local player got to the store they'd already chucked the stats. We recreated the stats as best we could, and submitted them to the Annals with only 4 unknowns out of 29 players and the top 16 players in order by the swiss. Not good enough to count for Alex though
.
Edit: and the only tournament that's actually been held locally to me, the stats went up on the Annals the same day.
JC 2 - Istaril 0.
So... a victim of the Annals going down, but not entered twice. With my usual level of senility, I'd be prone to call that almost a successful recollection!
What i want to know is why are we so off topic. Lets get back to the center of the cast and talk about The Mountain.
Glasgow regional is on 30th July. Don't worry, no clash with Blackwater ;-)
i can'tget this episode to appear in my iPodcasts feed, is it only up here on CGDB?

Just listen to the podcast.
Luiz used my Martel Aloof, just so you know Alex
