| July 5, 2008 -; Fun with Fourth Edition, and more | 44:58 | 07/17/2008 | With Mike, Allan, and guest Lee Valentine of Veritas Games Company. We start out (at 1:55) discussing our general impressions of the D&D 4e Game System License. There's some vaguery of language, some seemingly sweeping restrictions, and generally discouraging rules in the GSL. We swing... |
| June 14, 2008 - Free RPG Day looms ever closer | 35:26 | 06/19/2008 | With Mike and Allan. We're joined this show by special guest Aldo Ghiozzi of Impressions Advertising & Marketing, the company behind Free RPG Day (coming up June 21st). We ask how the event has changed for its second year, and what to expect. (1:02) Aldo tells us about specific goodies to... |
| May 23, 2008 - Prelaunch jitters, early impressions, and other stuff | 59:01 | 06/19/2008 | With Mike and Allan. Can you tell work and vacations have delayed us? This show, recorded just prior to the release of D&D 4e, shows our respective frames of mind regarding the launch preparations. With that in mind, Mike checked in with our old co-conspirator Chris Hanrahan to get his... |

| February 22, 2008 - Industry hoopla and DunDraCon '08 | 52:20 | 04/20/2008 | Getting long in the tooth, this one – we start with a discussion of the then-just-announced Gen Con bankruptcy filing, then bop into FFG taking over the Black Industries stuff at about 5:30 and the FFG “Living Card Game” initiative at 10:30 (including some wild-eyed theories... |
| February 8, 2008 - Heresy on parade | 49:55 | 03/15/2008 | With Mike, Allan, and Steve. At the forefront of our minds when we recorded this show: the Black Industries implosion and seeming premature end of the freshly-released Dark Heresy RPG (1:05). The life of the Warhammer 40k themed roleplaying game seemed woefully short. [At show time, Fantasy... |
| January 11, 2008 - To buy in, or not to buy in | 52:15 | 03/15/2008 | With Mike, Allan, and Steve. We start off discussing the Dungeons & Dragons OGL 2.0, and its low, low price of $5K to use this year. We’re troubled by the vagueness of the new license (6:30), and by the hesitance of most major D&D related publishers to get onboard for 4th Edition... |
| November 30, 2007 - Trends and microclimates | 43:31 | 01/02/2008 | With Mike, Allan, and Steve. As we start this time, Steve’s mock-threatening to buckle under the holiday pressure. He tells us what’s been selling in his neck of the retail woods as the season of giving gets underway (1:46). At about (4:38) we reveal Steve’s choice of angry... |
