Episode 9 - Gamer Parenting

October 09, 2008 03:35

Episode 9 - Gamer Parenting Sorry about the delay - we didn't have our full recording kit, and we gave the Olympus WS-110 a run for its money. This episode was suggested by our expectant co-host, Jacqui, and for this, we invite two Gamer Moms; Michele (who at the time of recording was expecting) and Robin (who after 5 children is expecting at least a couple of them to support her in her retirement). At the time of this posting, Michele, her husband Woody, and big sister Abby, have welcom...

GenCon 2008 Interviews and Demos: Green Fairy Games

September 13, 2008 01:45

The SLGG spotlight is on Green Fairy Games this time, as I got an interview with Justin Bow, creator of 'Fae Noir', and recorded a demo of 'Candycreeps' with Nick Licata (and fellow podcaster J.J from FFoC). And while creating the character sketches was fun, it doesn't translate well to audio, so through the magic of Audacity, we just fast forwarded past that ;). The demo was at the IPR booth, so there was a lot of commotion, which I've tried to filter out as best I can. Our character sk...

GenCon 2008 - Interview #1 - Hellas: Worlds of Sun and Stone

August 22, 2008 04:08

Here is the first of several interviews that I was lucky enough to get at GenCon. I had the pleasure of playing a session of 'Godsend Agenda' last GenCon with my fellow AGC co-hosts, Mark and Chris, as well as some of the rest of the Rolemonkeys, and the guys from The Gamemaster Show. This year, Jerry brings us Hellas: Worlds of Sun and Stone. It's an awesome looking game with a deceptively simple mechanic that can handle anything. Also at the booth was Andy Kitkowski - selling Maid th...

GenCon 2008

August 21, 2008 03:26

I went to GenCon this past Saturday, and wow - even though I was only there for a day, I had the pleasure of getting *several* interviews, and information, not to mention games for review by Stephanie, Jacqui and myself. We're going to be fairly busy the next few weeks. I am in the process of editing the interviews now, and will be posting some of them soon. I was on the floor for almost all of these interviews, so there will be some ambient noise. I'll do my best to edit them for you all...

Secret Life of Girl Gamers - The Video Games Live Review

July 26, 2008 23:47

The Video Games Live Review We attended Video Games Live last Friday at the Kentucky Center of the Arts. Jack Wall conducted the Louisville Orchestra in a truly energetic, multimedia performance. Highlights included co-producer Tommy Tallarico introducing pieces, hosting the on-stage competitions, and introducing surprise guests, such as Martin Leung - the Video Game Pianist. Oh, and let's not forget how he rocked out on stage with his guitar, as he and Jack brought together the Orchestra...

Episode 6 – Part 1 - D&D 4th Edition Overview – 7/9/2008 This episode is so jam-packed with gamer-goodness it's actually *two* episodes! First, overall, we’re a *little* bit late, apologies for that.

Conventions, what are they, and how do I survive one?

May 14, 2008 01:45

From Carol: So the bleeding edge of the Dresden Files didn't happen due to personal issues, but I plan on at least beta'ing. I swear work won't completely eat my soul... We're back from a short hiatus. We've hit our fifth episode! In one take even! We discuss Conventions, and really get into the guts of what they are, and what goes on at one. What can you do at one? Scheduling your time around gaming, panels, volunteering, filking, jam sessions, room parties, navigating the huckster ...

Ending a Campaign 3/22/2008

March 23, 2008 03:07

In this episode we discuss our experiences with the end of campaigns. Both the one that Jacqui and Carol ended recently, and other games we've been in. Planning is a good thing. Epic isn't always the answer, but done right it's wickedly cool. And yes, the Changeling game is finally over... a 7 year legacy and its super epic (eh, not quite) ending... Going from Endings to Beginnings - Carol will be delving into bleeding edge alpha testing into the Dresden Files RPG being developed by Evi...

In-Character Relationships...of a romantic nature 2/28/2008

February 28, 2008 04:16

From Carol: Sorry this is so late. Totally my fault. This episode we discuss in-character relationships. Player-character / Non-player character, player-character / player-character, and even Non-player character / Non-player character (hey - it's entertainment for the PCs at least). Why are they good for the game? When are they not good for the game? How do you extract your character from one? How do you inject a relationship into the game? We discuss our own experiences and comfort l...

Update: The show has been edited - we lost a lot of audio in chunks and I've been inserting explanatory narrative in some spots. Update: Carol has been pulling out her hair to get Audacity and her computer to cooperate. We'll get it up as soon as we can. We talk about great gift ideas for the geek in your life.
