In this episode Jonathan is joined by co-host Peter Bryant of Solarian Games. The pair discuss how someone can game on the cheap. Normally this can be an expensive hobby, but there are many ways that you can make it much cheaper. This will not be an exhaustive list, but hopefully it can give you some good ideas on where to start.
The first place to look is your local library. This is a free resource and many libraries have board games, video games and RPG books that you can use in the building or check out. Many will also have, or can get, Osprey books that you can use to research the history behind the game you will play. You might find that some have maker spaces and have #D printers or the tools that you can use to make models an/or terrain. They can even offer classes to teach you how to use these materials. You might find that some libraries even have the equipment needed to blog or podcast about your gaming.
There are also some online resources that you can use to get free or cheap gaming items.
