Welcome to another flavorful episode of "Topic Tapas™®©"! Hosted by Joel, this podcast serves up bite-sized discussions on a variety of topics, joined by guests Sam and Nick.

01:09

1.  South West gaming events comparisons: the team try to delve into the vibrant gaming scene of the Southwest, comparing notable events like the Fox and Hounds Devon Weekender, the Torbay Weekender, and the adrenaline-pumping 24-hour marathons, Gridcon and Baycon, plus not forgetting Devon Dice Con.

3. The Holt Inquisitor! As the conversation unfolds, the trio discusses the potential stagnation in the gaming market, questioning whether the industry risks becoming saturated with rehashed concepts instead of evolving.
