Summary

This week we explore Rome. Not the Total War game (though it gets mentioned), but Rome itself - as a historical interest and as a touchpoint in gaming. If you've listened to the show in the past, it's no secret that several members of our panel have a strong interest in the Roman empire and the fascinating history that surrounds it. In this episode we finally let everyone loose to talk about the period without worrying about a specific game review to guide the discussion. Listen in as Rob, T.J., Rowan, and Troy "I wear socks with caligae" Goodfellow dive deep into their collective knowledge and discuss ancient Rome.

0:40.8	So as you may have guessed, we're going to be talking a little bit about what we talk
0:47.1	about when we talk about Rome, basically. And this topic is inspired by the announcement of
0:53.2	a new Paradox strategy game in Parada Rome,
0:56.9	but there's not much, we don't know very much about that game yet, and if we did,
1:01.6	we certainly couldn't have Troy around to talk about it.
