Got #Photosynthesis to the table at Game Night on Tuesday as well. Neat abstract, could see this game getting really mean with good players. Gotta play more to know! #boardgames #bgg

The Feeling When people bring a game you love to #gamenight @suhreman @bellwethergames
Just played another 3 hours of #The7thContinent. Really stunning design and an easy fit for TIME Stories fanatics like us. I restarted so that Danielle & I could play together and we went a different way at the start to find a completely different world than the one I started exploring a few days ago. How big is this Continent? Only time will tell...

CAN THEY???? #TheNetworks Executives from @gilhova launches on Kickstarter this Tuesday!!!
#SpiritIsland takes up quite a bit of table! @greaterthangames
Such a cool time learning #Illimat tonight at @rooknpawn with @twogetherstudios. Excellent game!
This weekend, Georgia beer laws will finally allow breweries to sell beer by the pint at their taprooms. No more will they be required to offer tours with 'complimentary samples' to get their beer to the community that loves them. In talking with the team at @creaturecomfortsbeer today, it couldn't come any sooner. They're replacing their tour desk with a merch stand and to-go cooler, and they'll be offering pours in three sizes plus flights. They also expect to be able to extend their hours, and open for to-go sales earlier. Change is coming! This is why @craftfreedomnc is so important to us: these are community businesses that want to grow and succeed with respect and care for their community. Proud to be a #GAbeer fan today.
Crushing some #Clank at @rooknpawn in Athens. Love this spot!
Draft Mechanic episode 56 is live! We take a deep look at #ExLibris from @renegade_game_studios with a six-pack review and also give it the on-tap treatment with some literary libations. Also, we discuss: Codenames Duet from @czech_games_edition Custom Heroes from @alderacentertainment Seikatsu from @idwgames Visit draftmechanic.net or your podcast player to check it out!

Superpower of Choice

by The Liberation Jumpsuit

The Liberation Jumpsuit was a funky power pop band that existed in the Blacksburg, VA area in the 2000s. Led by my college friend and radio co-host, Drew, TLJ released three albums including the one featured here, Superpower of Choice. When we began the podcast, I looked around for great music to use beyond the standard loops and bumpers, but couldn't find anything that fit the feel we wanted. I happened to have Superpower of Choice in my car CD player the day before recording episode 3 and it clicked. A few messages to Drew later, we had our backing music.

I spoke with Drew about giving the album a second life on the website here and he was excited for the chance to get it back out there again. On the show, we (currently) use four tracks:

Main Theme / First Bump: Superpower of Choice
Second Bump: Prototypical
Third Bump: Fat Kid
Spoiler Episodes: Rinse/Repeat

We hope you enjoy this little slice of funky fun!

The Liberation Jumpsuit was:
Drew: Vocals, dancing
Dan: Guitars
Sam: More Guitars
Jeff: Bass and production
Ryan: Many drums
