In the second part of our retrospective on how Imaginary Worlds has covered sci-fi and fantasy since September 2014, we look at the world of gaming. I visit the game shop Sip & Play and talk with the owner Jonathan Li. Game designer and cultural consultant James Mendez Hodes returns to discuss the affect Stranger Things and Critical Role have had on the popularity of D&D, and why the last decade has been a golden age of indie tabletop games. Illinois Tech professors Carly Kocurek and Jennifer deWinter discuss the breakout video games in the last 10 years, and why it\u2019s harder for indie video games to have the same success as indie board games.\n\nThis week\u2019s episode is sponsored by GreenChef, ShipStation and Hims.\n\nGo to greenchef.com/imaginaryclass for 50% off your first box and 50 free credits with ClassPass\n\nGo to shipstation.com and use the code \u201cImaginary\u201d to sign up for your free 60-day trial.\n\nStart your free online visit today at hims.com/imaginary.\n\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
