Every so often, we have a special guest in the About.com Board Games Chat Room. When that happens, a transcript of the chat is produced and it's posted here. Enjoy -- and please stop by to join us sometime!

• The State of Board Games, special topical discussion
  (March 20, 2000)
  Greg Aleknevicus (affectionately known as Greg A.) wrote a column for Counter magazine titled "The Best of Times," in which he puts forth an argument that we live in the Golden Age of board games. Greg A., Greg Schloesser (aka Greg S.), president of the Strategy Gaming Society, and Mary Couzin (founder of DiscoverGames.com and inventor of Hollywood's Reel Schpeel, a movie trivia game), took part in this terrific conversation.

• Cherise Lambert, inventor of Mad About Movies
  (March 6, 2000)
  Cherise joined us to answer questions about the process of designing and publishing an independent game. She was questioned by a number of would-be game publishers in what was an extremely interesting discussion, especially for anyone interested in some behind-the-scenes knowledge about board games.
