Dungeon Booth
GF2019ChrisWehkamp
RPG Guest
The Dungeon Booth is a weekly podcast that brings together voice actors from popular anime, video games and cartoons to play Dungeons and Dragons with DM and host, Christopher Wehkamp.

In The Dungeon Booth these voice actors become original player characters in a wheels-off D&D adventure full of intrigue, combat, amateurish attempts at romance (and professionally timed fart jokes) with sound effects, original music that slaps and giveaways.

As each game ends a new game begins with an entertaining new cast of voice actors ready to jump into the mess!

Dave Killingsworth
GF2019DaveKillingsworth
Board Game Producer and Creator
Dave Killingsworth is the founder of SolarFlare Games and started making games in 2013 with the first game Thrash-Car. Now in 2019 he has just released his 10th game Robotech: Crisis Point. Dave enjoys making lighter games that are accessible to almost any player skill level and works to use games to bring people back together to connect in an analog way. With all the phones and digital life out there, he felt it was important to make things that connect people and bring them fun and joy. The last 2 years have been consumed with making three games in the Robotech universe. Having licensed the IP he wanted to do some games that really serviced the fans and the IP well - from a fanboy stand point and he has done that. Robotech is alive and well and he got to keep adding things to a fictional universe that he loves. It does not get any better than that.
