I originally discovered Oasis back in the winter and invited its creators to join me on this very podcast . Six month later, the game is live on Gamefound , fully funded, and knocking down stretch goals. I've already backed at the Terraformer level and can't wait to get my hands on this stuff. I was very pleased to talk to Dale and Byron to talk about the journey the game's been on over the past…

There's a ton of stuff to be excited about in miniatures right now but my number one upcoming release for 2026 has gotta be Oasis: Tactical Salvage Reclamation . I happened upon some teasers for this 6mm scifi game last month and was instantly hooked on the images of mixed forces of infantry, vehicles, and hovering spaceships duking it out over vital resources and alien tech. I'm an absolute…
What better way to kick off the first podcast of 2026 than by catching up with my old friend (and former boss) Lyle Lowery!
