15 - Online Conventions - featuring Mark Palmer

In this episode of RPG Heroes, we delve into our main topic: "Online Conventions" with the help of the passionately involved Mark Palmer, co-organiser of the AlbaCon online RPG convention. We talk about how he got into convention gaming, we discuss the pros and cons of online gaming, the charity behind AlbaCon and of course who Mark's RPG heroes are.
