The Binding of Isaac is a hugely successful videogame, and thanks to two extremely lucrative crowdfunding efforts that netted around $8 million, you could argue that its a highly successful card game as well. The videogame fits almost too perfectly into begin turned into cardboard, with its roguelike genetics being suited to the randomness of dungeon crawler, variable bonuses and and player powers sitting well within the tabletop realm. There's around eighty thousand people who have some kind of variation of the tabletop game. So surely its extremely good because well funded games are always amazing, aren't they. I'm approaching this as someone who is away from the hype canoe sailing down the river rapids of marketing and excitement and so this is probably going to be dull in comparison. I'm also someone who is a fan of the game, and has spent many an hour running around randomly generated dungeons of blood and filth. For those unfamiliar with the videogame, you play
When we started the podcast, the idea was to have some fun, talk about some board games and then spout some opinions about them. then we started to get other people on the show with their opinions as well. As we entice more people to listen to us, we thought it was time to make things clearer regarding our position on the way we do certain things. Especially since we are now creating more written and video based content.
This will hopefully make sure we keep thing transparent as the podcast grows.
It's only a couple of things, but they are important to state. We would ask that if you have any questions about our methods then please feel free to contact us at any time..
1. For any reviews that we carry out, unless otherwise stipulated during the episode or added to the show notes, the games we discuss have either been purchased by members of We're Not Wizards, or are owned by the guests of the show.
If the games have been provided as 'samples' or 'review copies' then we will make you aware of this in the episode itself or again in the show notes. For any previews / reviews / 'sideways glances' that appear in written or video form, we will make you aware of this in the bottom of the piece or in the video notes.
2. We are currently not working with or have paid agreements with any Marketing or PR organisations in order to promote certain products or have them specially featured on the show. We will inform you on an episode by episode basis if this is not the case. We will inform you for any written content that is a paid promotion on this site. We will make sure the notification for this appears in the first paragraph of the content, so you are aware before you read the piece. In the case of a video, we will flag this up at the beginning of the video, so you are aware.
3. Games that appear on the Give It A Kick section of the podcast should not be taken as an endorsement to back the product on offer. As we have stated before on episodes, Kickstarter is still a buyer beware situation, and we do not take any responsibility for any issues that may arise from backing a product.
4. We select the products to feature either through browsing Kickstarter or occasionally if the creator of the project has asked us to consider featuring their project on the episode. If the latter is the case, we have not taken any compensation from the project creator in either the from of a free copy of the game or through monetary compensation.
5. If we review games that previously featured in the Give It A Kick section. These games will have been ordered through the campaign by member of We're Not Wizards team. If for any reason we review a game that we have received without purchasing, we will make you aware of it either during the episode or in the show notes. If we are producing any other type of written or video content, we will make you aware if the copy of the product was provided to us without payment.
6. Companies or Individuals that appear on We're Not Wizards as either guests on Friends of the Show or Work In Progress will not have paid We're Not Wizards to appear as guests unless it is stated during the show as part of our Kickstarter Campaign from December 2018. Any guests promoting or discussing products or services should not be taken as an endorsement by We're Not Wizards. We will not be held responsible for any issues caused through backing a product or purchasing a service featured on the show.
7. The views and opinions expressed on the show do not represent the views of any connected companies the owners are connected to in anyway.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Thanks
