Can AI compress the years long research time of a PhD into seconds? Research scientist Max Jaderberg explores how “AI analogs” simulate real-world lab work with staggering speed and scale, unlocking new insights on protein folding and drug discovery. Drawing on his experience working on Isomorphic Labs' and Google DeepMind's AlphaFold 3 — an AI model for predicting the structure of molecules — Jaderberg explains how this new technology frees up researchers' time and resources to better understand the real, messy world and tackle the next frontiers of science, medicine and more.

Hey folks – this week we have a continuation of last week’s interview with T. Julian Bell. Last time you found out about the RAEX system, and this time we hear from Julian’s experience in getting games published and sold.

If you’re an aspiring games designer, or even if you’ve been in the industry a little while, you should find something interesting here. Julian gives us his thoughts on Kickstarter too and his plans to use the platform for their current project.
Later in the Podcast we also have a recording Grant and Colin made after a Warhammer Fantasy battle a few weeks back. They give a short battle report and what they think went right and wrong during the game. Hear how Grant thinks he misused his multiple demon princes! Colin, Grant and Joe are all practicing for the Battle Brothers tournament in Warhammer world in September, so if any of you might be there, let us know. It’d be great to meet up and have a beer.

In other news, Colin chats briefly about XCom: Enemy Unknown – his attempt to get nostalgic and remember the old Amiga days – and he gives a quick update on recent games of Eternal Contenders.

We’ve been trying to play a few different games online recently, using Google Hangouts and the Roll 20 system, but haven’t found anything perfect so far. We’d love your feedback on what you use to play remote games. What have you found that works well?

We’d love to know – please drop a comment below.

Frostgrave, Stargrave, Silver Bayonet, & the Worlds of Joe McCullough 58:56

3 years ago58:56

58:56

Frostgrave is one of the most recognisable games in the tabletop miniature wargame hobby. It's also one of the most popular outwith the Games Workshop Empire. On this episode, we're joined by the architect of the frozen city himself - Joe McCullough. We're going to talk about the lay of the land when this miniature agnostic fantasy skirmish game was released back in 2015, and speculate on the key factors behind its success. Joe's no one-trick pony though, and his scope extends well beyond Frostgrave. Stargrave may sound similar in name (and certainly shares a few core mechanics), but this sci-fi skirmish game is much more than just "Frostgrave in space". Then there's Rangers of Shadow Deep - a solo and cooperative game that became a firm favourite during the year of global lockdowns that was 2020. More often than not, Joe has appeared to release games in the right place and at the right time. One notable exception, however, is Oathmark. This mass fantasy battle rank and flank game was undoubtedly subdued by its Spring 2020 release date - a point in time where very few people could actually play it. Joe offers his thoughts on that as well as how the game might recover from this setback going forward. One of the reoccurring themes of this conversation was that of miniature wargame terrain. Frostgrave and Stargrave in particular benefit from their tables being extremely busy. But does this create a barrier for players with no existing terrain collection or no budget? Joe tells us about many players using simple wooden blocks or polystyrene packaging to build their frozen cities and intergalactic outposts, and why it doesn’t need to look “real” to capture the imagination. You can keep up with Joe on his blog The Renaissance Troll where he posts updates on his games, his hobby, his painting, and his thoughts in general. You’ll find the official range of Frostgrave miniatures over at North Star Military Figures, if you want to go down that route, as well as a raft of other games and supplements on DriveThruRPG. We’re also looking for future guests or co-hosts for this podcast and if you’re interested in coming on, we’d love to hear from you. Head on over to the podcast section of the website, fill out the short form, and we can get the ball rolling from there!…

Top Warhammer Alternatives for Tabletop Fantasy Battles 42:59

4 years ago42:59

42:59

Big units of troops marching across a scenery packed 6 by 4 table – there’s no aesthetic quite like it. For most of us growing up, there was only one option when it came to fighting out mass fantasy battles and that was Warhammer. And whilst the Old World is returning at some point in the future, there really is no need to hang around waiting on that day, whenever it might be. There are plenty of good Warhammer alternatives you can pick up and start playing today. For starters, there’s absolutely nothing to stop you from playing whatever edition of the game you own or liked the best. There are also projects like The 9th Age and Warhammer Orchard Edition which remain lovingly supported by their own respected communities. Then there’s Kings of War by Mantic games. This is perhaps the most famous and popular of the Warhammer alternatives out there on the market today. You can use your old and existing miniatures to play this game, or buy from Mantic’s ever-increasing range of original units and figures. On a previous episode of the Tabletop Miniaure Hobby Podcast we heard from Joe McCullough who’s most famous for games like Frostgrave, Stargrave, and Rangers of Shadowdeep. Joe has also created one of the big Warhammer alternatives out there though, in the form of Oathmark. Have a listen to our episode with Joe to find out more, or, check out our roundup of miniature agnostic games. A lesser-known (but still definitely worth checking out) game is Mayhem by award-winning game designer Brent Spivey. Brent is known for a popular sci-fi skirmish game called Rogue Planet. Mayhem is his mass fantasy battles contribution and lends itself particularly well to dropping down to 10mm or even 6mm scale wargaming. Warpack – A Diceless Mass Fantasy Battle Game On this episode, we’re adding another option to the ever-growing list of Warhammer alternatives. It’s called Warpack, and we’re going to hear all about it from the game’s creator, Joe Prince of Prince of Darkness Games. Here, we’ll learn about the game’s mechanics and structure. This includes its use of a deck of playing cards rather than dice to work our way through the tactics and turns. We’ll also find out a bit about the motivations and inspirations that lead Joe to create Warpack, and, naturally, we’ll chat a bit about Games Workshop. You can get a copy of Warpack by supporting Joe on his Patreon, and you can also follow him on Twitter at @JoeJPrince.…

Hey folks! I wanted to tell you about another show we’ve been working on, called Hostile Worlds. It’s a documentary drama crossover show, set in space, which aims to take the humble science podcast and inject a bit of fun. We’ll be piloting our ship around the most dangerous places in the universe, trying not to freeze, boil, blow ourselves up or succumb to any of the other grisly fates that await any daring (or stupid) space explorer. If you’re into games and geekery, then this might be right up your street! You can subscribe on the Hostile Worlds website . Enjoy! What’s Hostile Worlds All About? Join us on a journey to some of the most inhospitable, humbling, and frighteningly beautiful places in the known universe. Hostile Worlds is podcast that helps you explore alien landscapes all from the comfort of your headphones. From the freezing hydrocarbon oceans of Titan, to the scorched, suffocating wastes of Venus – we’ll take you on an immersive audio tour to all the places you’d die to see… and places you’d die if you saw. You’ll join the crew of The Tardigrade, an all-purpose vehicle that can float, fly, dive, and dig through any environment in the universe. There, you’ll learn all the facts you’ll ever need to act as THE space exploration authority down your local pub on a Friday night. Hostile Worlds is a unique documentary/audio drama hybrid – brought to you by the folks at ThePodcastHost.com The post Introducing, Hostile Worlds appeared first on Dicing With Design: Role Playing, Wargaming, Card games & Board Game Design Podcast .…

In this episode Colin’s talking to T. Julian Bell from RAEX Games. They’re soon releasing a new setting for their RAEX gaming system called Kromore 2145, a Cyber-Steam setting as they call it. It’ll be coming out in Q1 2014. You can try out an abridged version of the game in the meantime though – there’s free public version of their Core Rulebook available on the RAEX games website . In the interview Julian takes us through the RAEX system and tells us his thoughts on game design, and how to make an engaging game. Here are a couple of links to find out a bit more information on both Julian and RAEX Games, and make sure to look out for the Kromore 2145 Kickstarter when it releases later this month. This is actually only part 1 of the interview – Julian and I had a pretty long chat! Part 2 will be released soon and is all around how to go about setting yourself up as a pro games designer. Julian tells us his tips and tricks for getting into the games industry, getting a producer and getting yourself published. Make sure to check back for that in the next episode.
