Judd's been on a hiatus from gaming while he gets his post school life sorted. We talk about this and, of course, just about anything else that comes up. Sorry about the hum, my recording setup has gone backwards a bit after leaving things fallow for too long.

http://githyankidiaspora.wordpress.com/ Judd's gaming blog. Lots of new goodness lately.

Clyde wanted to talk about the dickwolves debacle and Mickey was here to talk to him about it. I only had dumb rants and cheerleading to add. Should this have been an episode of Polimicks? I dunno, but here you are.

Lukas and I got together on a sunday afternoon to take a look back at some story/forge/indy/not-new-but-getting-the-attention-deserved-now concepts and see how they've changed the way we look at games.

I recorded all of this episode with my new Zoom H2 recorder, which I'm quite fond of, but I'm also still learning what it is and isn't capable of and its myriad settings and functions, so some of this is pretty raw. Thankfully due to Levellator the audio is less spiky and ear-hurty.

GPNW was a blast and a half and if you can fit it into your schedule next year i highly recommend it.

All hail the loudness of Paul Riddle.

Kevin and I mull over the question: When IS is ok for a game designer to bitch about the way people play and critique their games?

We also dork out about games, podcasts, and a tv show full of sex and blood and Lucy Lawless.

Here's the link to The Walking Eye podcast, of which kevin is one of the many hosts http://www.thewalkingeye.com

and here's a link to Actual People, Actual Play which is a great new cast by some great people, including my friend Will Huggins who you may remember from the show he, Ryan Macklin, Mickey and I recorded two GPNWs ago.

http://apap.libsyn.com/

For everything else? Google! It's your friend!

This is the second part of the long overdue and, indeed, long cast I recorded with Epidiah, in this half we talk about tactile elements in games. I also pick his brain about Time and Temp.

Oh, and go to his space on the weband look around. http://dig1000holes.wordpress.com/

Ok, I've taken way too long to put this up. I did however, move during the holidays. What a nightmare.

So, Epidiah Ravachol had a good long conversation a while back and this is the first of the twohours we recorded.

We talk about his job and mine, briefly about the games hobby "industry," and talk about Dread and how it was designed.

Mickey and I had a skype conversation with my friend Hans. We talked about the differences he saw between the gamer community we're a part of and the christian community he grew up with. Not as heavy as it sounds.

Brennan and I sat down the night before Halloween and talked about his games, game design and Halloween plans, as well as certain kinds of designs we'd like to see more of.

Scott Dunphy and spent some time earlier this summer talking about rpgs, podcasting, board games, and the phones constantly ringing.

Scott's show is quite good. http://storyshtick.spookyouthouse.com

If you're interested in more actual play podcasts, go here http://www.rpgpodcasts.com/topic/actualplay I highly recomend Virtual Play, the Walking Eye, The Game Master Show, and the Myth Weavers.

This is a fun show. I sat down at the Indie Hurricaine table on sunday afternoon and recorded this with Carl, Leslie, And Andy, Later Gilbert, Nathaniel, and Willem dropped by.

Willem dropped some serious learning method. It's interesting to hearme totally not get it for awhile. I almost decided to edit in a big DING sound when I finally figure out what he's talking about.

I had detailed show notes, but then some crazy shit happened to my machine and it shut me down. If you need links ask me after you ask google, because that's what I ask.

Sorry about the long wait. I'm not podfading, I'm just a lazy procrastinator.

Ed and Curt are guys I've gamed with for quite awhile, 20 years in the case of Ed, and 15 in the case of Curt.

Mickey and I have been gaming with them on Sunday mornings over Skype, so after a sunday morning session we decided to record and reminisce.

WARNING: extreme nostalgia!

No show notes, sorry, I have a really crappy headcold.

Ok, I was about halfway through a detailed show note when my laptop froze up on me. It's been doing that often, and I just don't want to throw it through the television in a fit of rage.

So, no show notes for you.

Reply here if there's something you absolutely cannot live without, or learn to use Google.

We had the good fortune for Rob Bohl to come out and spend a little over a week with us. During this time we got to play a little Misspent Youth, and then we recorded this episode I think the next day.

This time you get some real show notes.

Sorry about the long delay, I guess this just happens to podcasts in the summer.

I was writing show notes for this episode and it occurred to me that there wasn't anything in there that I hadn't listed in numerous other shows.

So instead, go read about HotB.

Clyde emailed me and said he had some issues he wanted to talk about, I thought that was cool so we went ahead and recorded.

Clyde has issues. Ha! Well, don't we all.

Edit: It's actually Game Kennel. http://www.pulpgamer.com/gamekennel/ Thanks to Clyde for pointing that out.

http://ayreforce.bodoglife.com/ Yup, it's a comic starring Calvin Ayres. I am not making that up.
I am not linking Levis, Band-Aids, or Kleenex. They get enough advertising.
http://canonpuncture.libsyn.com/ Canon Puncture. Made of awesome. Seriously, go listen.

Then Clyde and Mickey talk and I listen. Then I open my mouth and... well I think I sound like a tool, but I kind of always do, so... make up your own mind.

At Go Play NorthWest '08 I got a chance to run Don't Rest Your Head for Ryan Macklin of the Master Plan, and then we went to his room, drank scotch and rambled all over the place.

No, you don't get editing, nor do you get show notes. You just get us, drunk, off-topic, and did I mention drunk?

Hey, it's your fault for listening to this show.

(if you really need a link to something post here, and I'll do something about it. Maybe).

Mick Bradley and I talk about gamer mid-life crises, and a whole lot else. Oh, and you can hear me snacking because I had just gotten home from work.

He had his video feed going which helped with us talking over each other. I think I need a cam. It really helps when the conversants can see each other.

Sam Chupp emailed me and said "hey, let's do this podcast together like we've talked about." Who am I to resist such a charming fellow as Sam, huh? So we Skyped and recorded. Mickey and Deke were over because the three of us were heading out for dinner and then to go see New Model Army play at a local venue.

Great stuff, yeah? Well here comes the not so cool part. That night when we got home and were unwinding so we could get a few hours of sleep before a very long day I SPILLED CUP'O'NOODLES BROTH ONTO MY LAPTOP!! Oh fuck, oh no.

The upshot is that my sound device is kaputski.

So this episode is unedited, late, and unlistened to. I tried to send the files to my wife's laptop, but I would have had to send the Audacity data files one by one, and that's tedious as all get out.

So if the sound quality sucks here, I aplogize, and if the unedited portion where Sam loses his connection is irritating, sorry about that too.

Remember, at Stabbing Contest, professionalism is job... um 28 or so?

So Clyde Rhoer and I talked for over two hours the other night, and this is part one of that conversation.

Show notes: Dave Arneson and Gary Gygax were the creators of D&D. I remembered Dave's name about a half hour after we wrapped up.

Episode Three wherein Judd from the Sons Of Kryos and I talk about all manner of things, and Mickey chimes in once in awhile.

About an hour and nine minutes, and about 66mb.

I think my New Years resolution is to try to stop myself from saying "y'know" as much, y'know?

Also: note to self. Do not move mic during recording and do not let someone type at her laptop next to the mic. I'm still figuring these these things out, but those should have been obvious to me.

Some show notes:

http://www.sonsofkryos.com/ Judd, Jeff, and Storn's show.

John Wick's lj http://wickedthought.livejournal.com/ where he talks extensively about houses of the Blooded.

Speaking of awesome http://www.dog-eared-designs.com/games.html Prime Time Adventures is made of magic fairy crack.

We then talk quite a lot about the upcoming D&D 4th edition http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/welcome and about how we're getting out information about it.

One of those places is http://www.enworld.org/ and another is my good friend Alex Chobot, who you'll hear on an upcoming show. hopefully soon.

We talk a little about http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=starwars/article/rpgsagaed The Star Wars Saga edition, which is somewhat of a playtest for 4E.

We also talked about how Alex and i want to break in 4E with a homebrew Spelljammer ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spelljammer ) campaign. We didn't even get to talk about the angel drives. I guess we'll get to that when I do a show with Alex.

Another place to get your 4E straight dope is http://www.rpg.net/

We talk briefly about social combat, which leads to talking about geek attractiveness, and no conversation on that subject is complete without mentioning Gamer: The podcasting, http://somniturne.com/gtp/ and Sasha's awesome hair.

We also talk quite a lot about the Story Games forum, as I often do. http://www.story-games.com/forums/

We also mention the Sam Chupp has talked about gaming with kids extensively over at The Bears Grove. http://bearsgrove.com/ He has most of those shows in their own section now.
