Given the relative popularity of tabletop gaming as compared to other major geek hobbies, there seems to be a dearth of web video content promoting this particular hobby. To challenge that notion, Mayfair Games is stepping up to the plate with The Bob & Angus Show. As a web series co-hosted by two sheep puppets Mayfair is drawing some inspiration from the sheep resource in their mega-popular The Settlers of Catan board game.
Attendees at the recent GAMA Trade Show got a live preview of this show, which will hit the internet this Thursday, May 5th. From there, a new episode will be posted every Thursday as Bob & Angus explore a wide range of hobby gaming related topics. According to Mayfair Games, "Bob & Angus will present the latest news from Mayfair Games, weather, human and sheep interest stories, as well as reviews on both new and classic Mayfair Games titles."
Some teaser footage has been released, which can be viewed on the Pulp Gamer show page for Bob & Angus. While it does not shed light on the format for a full episode, it does give a clear look at the puppet co-hosts. The early impressions from such teaser footage is that this web show will have a fairly high production value, so gamers are eagerly awaiting the show's debut later this week. Read more...
