If you haven't started The Wheel of Time, what are you waiting for?
Back in episode 8 (Inspiration… aka 4 Loko) we touched on a few books or series that we love, but we really didn’t give the medium a fair shake, so we’ve devoted an entire episode to them.
This is an episode loaded with recommendations. Please see the bottom of the show notes for a list (and links) of all authors mentioned.
This is what you are texted when you miss one of our games. Missed fortitude save, sorry Jayson.
Anyone who has gamed has had to deal with the gamer who is not there. Be it a family obligation, work, a booty call or even to go to the bathroom, sometimes players will not be able to make it to or have to leave the game.

Victoriana is a Victorian era RPG produced by Cubicle 7. Our first experience with the game was at GenCon 2010 and then again at GenCon 2011. Based on that, we decided to have a quick taste of the game (we also recorded our sessions ).
In this episode we talk about that experience and our take on the newest game in our repertoire.
Like the red-headed stepchild, maps are usually underappreciated and overlooked by gamers. We were apprehensive (at first) about the subject carrying an entire show, but once we dug into it we realized how much maps influence and enhance the gaming experience.
A map can be the difference between a good gaming experience and a great one.
For the last episode of the year, we decided to make some commitments for the coming year. We’ve had a really good year and want to start 2012 off right.
