About Bards of the Board

We are the Bards of the Board and we welcome you to our podcast!! Jason and Robbie have the goal of introducing non-gamers to the amazing world of tabletop gaming.

Whether it’s the theme, mechanics, or length of game, we hope to demystify the negative stigma that often accompanies tabletop gaming and help players realize the tabletop gaming world is for everyone!
