We are a group of friends who have made a serious effort to keep gaming in our lives. Whether playing board games, finding weird indie/retro video games, or taking part in a new tabletop RPG campaign, we’re passionate about the awesome memories, friendships, and creativity that gaming can build.

**Q: Do you use BetterTTV emotes in your chat?** A: Yup! Head over to [BetterTTV's website](https://betterttv.com) to download the extension for your browser, then you can use the following commands in chat: aniBlush confusedCat donkRioting elmoFire EvilKermit KoolDoge pikaOMG pressF REKT ThisIsFine **Q: What are [Unqualified Experts and Table for Two](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxBtHtJKkNK2khIY6Xp2hzQ)?** A: Unqualified Experts is a higher energy YouTube series where Shane and Braden deliver "expert" opinions and discussions on all things nerddom. Topics can range from D&D/Tabletop RPGs, board games, video games, and more! Table for Two is a YouTube series where Phil and his wonderful wife Heather play a wide variety of 2-player board games in a more relaxed setting. You'll find a nice mix of traditional and indie board games showcased throughout this series! **Q: What other projects are you planning for the future?** A: In addition to more episodes of Unqualified Experts and Table for Two on [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxBtHtJKkNK2khIY6Xp2hzQ), we're exploring other projects for YouTube, and Shane's always adding more cool content to the [Assorted Meeples website](http://assortedmeeples.com)! This isn't everything we have planned either, so keep checking back in for our latest news! **Q: What types of board games do you stream?** A: Generally, we stream a few shorter games per stream (run time of 90 minutes or less) so people don't jump in halfway through something like Lords of Waterdeep or Stone Age and feel completely lost. Don't worry - we love these longer games too, and will periodically bring them out as well! **Q: What types of video games do you stream?** A: We all like different types of games, so you could come across pretty much anything on our video game streams. Retro games, indie games, strategy games, shooters; digital board games; all these and more will have a home here. Braden's also gotten into speedrunning Link to the Past randomizers, so he'll usually run at least one of those a week. His best time is currently 1 hour, 40 minutes, 4 seconds.

We're a group of gamers who have been meeting for regular board game nights for the last few years and have been talking about streaming our shenanigans for the last few months. We started our journey with Twitch during October 2019, and have had a ton of fun bringing board games to your screens from the moment we started recording. Our core cast includes Braden, Shane, Phil, and Michael (Callahan), but we have a number of guests who periodically stop by, including Chris, Eric, James, PJ, and Ben to join in the fun! We've got a lot of cool stuff planned, but as we're starting out with a fairly low budget and little experience with Twitch, there are a few growing pains we're working through. A huge thank you to our followers thus far - we cannot thank you enough for your patience and support!

**1. Don't be a jerk.** That's basically it. We have a zero-tolerance policy for racism/derogatory slurs, hate speech, harassment, and similarly offensive content. Beyond that, we're here to have fun and be ourselves, and we want you to feel free to do so as well.
