While at ReaperCon last weekend, Reaper CEO Ed Pugh told me some Reaper stories... on film. Here's the first one, where Ed talks about founding Reaper and what the early years were like: Reaper Miniatures: The Beginning
I shot a short video with Bryan Stiltz while at Day 1 of ReaperCon 2012, today. He describes his job as production manager at Reaper Miniatures, and talks about this various Pathfinder campaigns.
One of the stops on my Gamerati Tour was at Black Diamond Games, in Concord, CA. I shot a number of videos with people there. Here's one with Cherry Pie, for instance. The funniest one, though, was with the store owner, Gary Ray. He told the story of 'The Morsel of Abadar'. Check it out.
Super Genius Games makes some of the best Pathfinder-compatible products. Last year, as you probably know, they compiled a number of their best-selling Genius Guides into a print book: Adventurer’s Handbook: Genius Guide Vol.1 (PZO Store Link) Well... If you have been thinking about picking up a copy, today's the day. *** Today only, it's on sale at 50% OFF on Loot (Only $9.99). *** Check it out. Tell your friends.
PVP for Pathfinder excited me so much, I knew we had to have Mark on the Array. We released the show today. Conflict Roleplaying (Atomic Array 042) Most RPGs involve groups of players pitted against a challenge orchestrated by a GM, but there are times when that guy on the other side of the game table… man, you just want to slap the overconfident grin off his stupid mug. If you want player vs player competition—if you’re looking for a chess match that pits your wits against real-world prey—you want Conflict Roleplaying. Love this book!
St Louis
I'll be there. Will you?
A few months ago, I teamed up with Tucker Stone from comiXology to produce a show called Advanced Common Sense. Every week Tucker runs down the most pulled comics books - the new releases, that is - based on the preferences of the users at comiXology. If you like comic books, I hope you'll check it out. Advanced Common Sense plays on War Pig Radio. I also post the individual episode on my website, at least until I can find a permanent home for the archives.
We've talked about Twilight Sector twice on Atomic Array: once during our Gen Con 2009 coverage, and we featured it on Atomic Array Episode 34. If you're thinking about buying this product, have a listen.
I snapped some photos and videos of Paizonians at NeonCon this past weekend. If you can't see them, for whatever reason, connect with me on Facebook and you'll be able to without any trouble. Video from the first night

Pathfinder Games (in progress)
I've teamed up with Tucker, from comiXology, to make a short weekly comics show for War Pig Radio. Tucker runs down the top 10 pulled comics (by comiXology's users), and includes a look at an indie book and a collection. Pretty neat show - I'm having fun doing it. Latest Episode: Advanced Common Sense (23 September 2009)
The latest episode of Atomic Array features this game:
Nothing informs life more than the shadow of death, and there’s no better way to learn about White Wolf’s newest game than to speak with one of the creators. Matthew McFarland is a contributing writer to Geist: The Sin-Eaters, a ‘Storytelling game of Second Chances’. White Wolf gave us pre-press copies of their new game, and Matthew graciously gave us some of his time. Sadly, we ran out of time... there was a lot more ghostly goodness we never got a chance to talk about. You’ll have to buy a copy and find out for yourself!
I'm trying to figure out how many of you live in the corridor between Seattle and Portland. Feel free to post here or get in touch with me directly.
We spoke with RDP’s president, David Jarvis, about Scarrport on Atomic Array. Contributing authors Graydon Schlichter and Greg Tito also joined the conversation. Good stuff, have a listen: Scarrport (Atomic Array 022)
I had the pleasure of co-hosting Alpha Waves, the radio program from Airlock Alpha, the science fiction portal and news site. When they asked me what I thought would make a good episode, my immediate response was PULP! The show aired today and our first guest was Paizo's own Erik Mona! Listen in and learn some new information about the future of Planet Stories.
The minute RPG writer Rone “The Jade” Barton saw the comic strips of Hugo “Butterfrog” Solis on the Paizo forums, he knew he wanted a to work with Hugo on a strip for Atomic Array, our biweekly gaming podcast. Hugo came on board and the two of them created – A new RPG-based web comic. Atomic Array spotlights RPG games of every stripe, including our Pathfinder episode,so our mascot, Blammo, a sardonic lil mushroom cloud, saunters boldly from strip to strip, through the many specific game worlds featured on the Array. Come check out our first efforts and let us know what you think. The guys are working to get a bunch done quickly and soon we’ll catch up to our latest episodes. Blammo strips thus far:
Click on the strips to enlarge them, and while you’re there, go on and download an episode or two. NOTE: You'll need to scroll down a little to see the script, and want to click the image to enlarge it.
Here it is! Want to hear Mike Mearls and Jeremy Crawford give an exclusive pre-release interview about Player's Handbook 2? Wizards invited Rone (my co-host on Atomic Array) and I up to WotC HQ last week. We grabbed a couple copies of PHB2 and sat down with the designers to riff about what's inside. Have a Listen: Player's Handbook 2 (Atomic Array 018) Wizards also gave me a dozen copies of the book to share with some of my favorite bloggers. I asked each one to write an article about one of the new character classes: * Critical Hits: The Avenger
Oh, and you can read a full-on review of Player's Handbook 2 on Game Cryer: LINK Two more... and I'm done. I promise... Gnome Stew: A Veteran GM’s Take on GMing and the PHB2
Last week, Dan Repperger and I started a new project I'd like to tell you all about. Even though it's not 100% done, I'm really excited by its early success. We have launched a 24-hour streaming radio station. Our goal is to cover two major demographics that podcasts don't easily reach: 1. General consumers that want quality RPG content they can play without needing to select, download, and queue specific files. You can now stream great gaming content while at work or doing chores around the house, or just looking to see "what's on." 2. We see an excellent opportunity to bridge a communication gap between consumers and publishers by offering this to retailers to play throughout the day in place of muzak. The station has just now gone live, and we've already got a short list of stores signed up for this. As of right now, the play list is primarily material from some hand-selected podcasts. However, we have some new, original content we're actively pursuing. We're also looking to diversify, keeping our focus on gaming while giving some air time to anime, movies, comics, and such. This is a new effort, so we're still polishing it. Several improvements are already in the works, primarily centered around the content. But if you want to see what we're doing from the ground floor, check it out at: NOTE: If you're lucky, you might tune in while the Pathfinder episode of Atomic Array is on the air. I've been trying to get this off the ground since June 2008, and am just... I'm excited! Having Dan as a partner is also exciting. I've relied on his advice while launching Atomic Array and I'm a big fan of his podcast, Fear the Boot. I'd like to stress one thing: retailers. While there are a couple stores playing War Pig (eight signed up this week), we'd like to add a couple hundred. Want to help bring War Pig to more gamers? Ask your local retailer to consider playing it in the store! What's more, Dan created a widget so that you can add a War Pig player to any website. I created a video that explains how to set it up. Feel free to spread the disease little piglets... ... and by that I mean, feel free to syndicate War Pig to any and every website and blog you can find. Paizo.com, maybe? Erik? Vic?
Notice a Pathfinder story thread that was left unclipped? Share it here. (1) Hollin Hebbradan (D1: Crown of the Kobold King) is ten years old during the ordeal at Droskar's Crucible. His mind broken by the experience, he turns into a serial killer some years later. Wait until 2011 and pitch Paizo an adventure where Hollin terrorizes Falcon's Hollow.
If you have ever participated in a play by email game, would you be so kind as to answer a few short questions: How recently? Have you be in any of the larger (a la Lord of the Rings) campaigns? What are your impressions of the format, from the inside? What are the best elements of such a game? The worst? How would you improve the format?
LINK: http://www.ustream.tv/ Has anyone used this service? If so, how hard is it to set up a stream? I know that recorded video is a no-brainer, but what are the considerations when trying to stream live?
Terrance Dicks is coming to Second Life! Today! Who is Terrance Dicks? He's written more Doctor Who books than you've had hot dinners. Where can you see him? Luckily, there are two places. Both events happen today. Place the first: Union Island (SLURL), at 11 AM SLT. POC: Johninnit Ni Place the second: Red Sky Club (SLURL), at 12 PM SLT. Terrance will be speaking with Jilly Kidd for a special episode of her popular Meet an Author show.
I'm looking for honest feedback on the following three sites:
I'd like to know three things: (1) You opinion of the site content. Content is king, and is really what draws people back to a site on a regular basis. (2) Your opinion of the site design. Site design won't really help traffic, without good content. It can hurt it, though. Any suggestions? (3) I need suggestions on how to increase traffic on these sites. Any help would be appreciated.
If you go to the RDP website, where you can listen to Rone Barton (The Jade) and I chat with Sam Chupp, the host of The Bear's Grove podcast, about this book. And when you buy it, make sure you write a review! We'd love to hear your feedback.
LINK: http://www.koboldquarterly.com/article007.php {safe} Kobold-in-Chief, Wolfgang Baur, has been invited to be the guest of honor at Wordsmith Hall. Don't be alarmed, loyal minions, thinking you won't be able to attend. Wordsmith Hall is not located in a real-life town; it's a location in Second Life.
Realm of the Seaspire is a little photo journal I made, playing around with a location of the west coast of Varisia. Thought y'all might get a kick out of it.
