Chapter Approved - a Warhammer 40K podcast.: Recent Episodes

Tibbs

Chapter Approved is a biweekly half-hour Warhammer 40K podcast for average gamers.

We aim to prove that casual gaming is anything but, as we explore topics like gaming with your friends in their homes, narrative gaming instead of competitive, painting tips for everyday folks, and the occasional highlight of a really special army or project you might not have seen around.

This is a show for the beer-and-pretzels crowd. No deathstars. Just average folks enjoying the Warhammer 40K hobby for what it is.
