We talked game basics and figured out how best to banter without being *too* nerdy. Also we didn't figure out how to broadcast game sounds. That's pro later-season stuff. Check out this first season for a blast from the past!** 1. [Welcome to Storm Wars](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_BXM1XqSOI) – Sep 30 • George and JP present Storm Wars to newcomers, explaining the basic game strategy and why it's different from other card games.

[iOS Launch](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWaXDwHTTwQ) - Apr 30 • George and JP chat about the iOS launch and our new influx of mobile players. We answer questions about what's next and give some details on tournament and campaign updates.

If anyone has questions or comments about live streaming, please feel free to ask questions here on the thread! :)

Our next session has been set for this Friday. Announcement in the second thread. See you there!

Interesting endeavour. I might sound like an idiot, but I'd like to know who 'George' and 'JP' translate to as regards nicknames. :)

George = Sir_Valimont JP = Khamsin, or as many like to call him "RNJesus" (We may also have another guest appearance from the dev team ...)

On an unrelated side note, in Dutch, "JP" usually translated to Jan Peter - the first name of a former Prime Minister. He was Prime Minister in the Netherlands from 2002 until 2010.

Well one of us is Dutch but it's not JP. :) You might think of a pope or two for a hint as to his expanded name ...

Thanks everyone who tuned in. We'll schedule the next few live streams soon. Hopefully we'll start having some competitions as well so you can win prizes for watching us live! Yesterday's stream is now archived, so you can watch it anytime at the Twitch channel or on our YouTube channel.
