Sad news today as we say goodbye to Kalen.

Spirited Discussion is in desperate need of a new Host, if you or someone you know is interested in being a part of a decently successful and new-ish Spirit Island podcast, let me know at Spirited_Alex on Discord.

Kalen and Alex talk about the many optional ways to play that were added in Jagged Earth. Scenarios, Adversaries, extra boards, Command Beasts, and more get discussed in this sampling of alternative ways to play Spirit Island.

Sad news this week, as Greater Than Games (Spirit Island’s Publisher) is reducing staff and heading towards shuttering due to tariffs. Donald Trump’s Tariffs have made things very difficult for everyone, including those in the board game industry. It would not be right to ignore this, so join Kalen and Alex in a shorter episode as they talk about what this means for Spirit Island.
