Liz and Emma do CanCon 2010

Liz and Emma do CanCon 2010

Possibly NSFW (depending on your work, and your idea about what constitutes "explicit" language).

Liz and I visited CanCon 2010.
We saw lots of nerds (and geeks and gamers), CCGs, tabletop war games - fantasy, historical, and alt-historical, board games, and, of course, role-players.

This episode contains a number of short interviews with random people who were gaming and working at the con. The sound quality is a little patchy in places (sorry), and Emma talks like she's getting paid per word.

Enjoy!

(Pics to come!)
(You heard me.)

No Dice!

In some sort of awesome cross promotion thing, I want to let everyone know that Mike (whom we interviewed in Episode 19) has his new RPG-inspired thrice-weekly webcomic "No Dice" up at www.nodicecomic.com.


Check it out!

(No, I mean it. Do it now.)

(Have you done it yet?)

(Why not?)

(That's not a reason. It's not even a good excuse. Just... do it already.)

(Done it? Did you see the Natural 20 image there?)

(Good work, well done. Have a cookie.)
