Welcome to 2025, and also to Episode 96 of The Last Standee Podcast!
Moderation and sobriety mark the start of the year with the A Team (Alexis-Audrey-Alessio, cue '80s music), while we learn in the Standee catch-up what everyone has been up to (spoiler: it's flu, mostly. And dealing with job market. Yeah, moderation and sobriety).
After that, we begin dabbling into games (I hope you will appreciate the effort put into finding a good name for the episode) - Alessio tells us about Steam Power, a long-awaited game from THE Martin Wallace about trains and economy. Big names come to mind. The question is, is this game up to the likes of the legends of the past? (spoiler: it's an entire different thing - for the rest, you'll have to listen to the episode. After that, it's trains again, with Alexis presenting us Next Station game series. Ever wondered what all the fuss was about, or which one to pick in a pinch? Today's your lucky day, then! Finally, Audrey closes the triptych for this episode with Knight: An Avalon RPG - a French production just recently landed to international audiences. And if Space Knights of the Round Table with Saint Seiya armors doesn't even make you flinch, you have a heart of stone and I feel sorry for you (and yes, that title for a movie is taken, sorry!)
Let's begin the new year with a BANG! (No, not with Bang!. Or yes, if you want - we just won't be talking about it).
