Episode 129 of The Independent Characters marks our return to the microphone after a six month hiatus with Carl, Adan, and Justin. Carl was apparently the only one that wasn’t aware we were returning. You will hear all about the reasons for the return and how we have changed our format slightly to ensure quality family and gaming time!
After a massive hobby progress and games played update we introduce two new guest hosts for our new segments. Doug (aka Replacement Geoff) is joined by Zach (no not THAT Zach – A NEW one!) to review Fantasy Flight Games Forbidden Stars as well as talk about Faultline 40k, a new gaming club in the Bay Area that emphasizes painting, playing and the narrative approach to gaming.
We take some time to talk about what the plans are for Faultline 40k, where they are heading and how you can get involved if you are local to the scene here. Even if you aren’t a local to the Bay Area, you may find the discussion inspirational and packed with some good advice.
We are happy to be back in the saddle. In some ways it feels like we never left. Thanks for all of your continued support while we were on break! It’s because of the supportive comments from our awesome community that we have returned. (at least in part). Also thank you to Doug and Zach for helping out with this episode. We hope you enjoy!

Just like you'd never been away 🙂 Thanks as always guys for the great work you put in.
Next episode will be the 15th… so more to look forward to!
What a time to be alive!
I can't wait to hear this- so pleased you have come back guys 🙂
So excited to have you back! Felt really good to be listening again!
welcome back!
but seriously, for people claiming to have been in the hobby for so long you sure do have some odd hangups. mainly complaining about astartes fliers 'not being able to fly', wow, comparing 40k to IRL physics makes you sound about 10.
all of that said, obligatory time to point out that imperial ships have anti grav tech and the engines are generally for thrust. you crying about whether or not something looks aerodynamic is so grating…
