Saturday May 04, 2013
In this episode Jeff is joined by Heather Hoover and Jaydot to talk about how to have a woman-freindly game table. We've often been accused of being a pro-women gamers podcast but never directly tackled the issue for any length of time (despite the complaints we've fielded). This was the time to do it...

Game Inspiration Advice (204)
Monday Nov 12, 2012
Monday Nov 12, 2012
In this episode we are joined by a familiar figure, Mike Shea, to give some advice on finding inspiration to make your game better.
Sam, our editor, has weathered the storms of the Northeastern region of the US and is getting us back on track, editing the episodes that we have been busily recording like clock work. Thanks goes to Sam for his diligence.
This is extra important because Jeff is unable to do it all as this is November and he is using all of his non-podcasting free time posting to HoNoToGroABeMo to beat down breast cancer once and for all. I'd love if you'd join me by sponsoring my beard, all the money goes to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
