That's fantastic!
Can I link to that or put that on the AA episode page (with a link to your Deviant Art portfolio)?

Not to sound like a shameless self-promoter, but are you going to end up putting that up?

Your latest show was great, guys. Twilight Sector sounds interesting, especially the idea that I can get my Gamma World on and generate random mutants.
Ed, glad to hear your voice is improving, and you made the Beastie Boys sound all sultry.
You really need to work on your monkeys with lasers imitation, though. That was pretty weak. :)

Speaking of which, the new episode:
At Gen Con this Summer, we spoke with Mike Cross from Terra/Sol Games about his new Traveller setting, Twilight Sector. We asked Mike and his co-author, Matthew Hope, to give us another look under the hood of Twilight Sector.

No... It was cool and all, but it didn't fit the B-Boys. Not up-tempo enough. It sounded a bit like a 70s porn soundtrack, actually.

If Ed were recommending the works of Barry White, it would have been perfect.

Ed will be likely be greatly and gratefully amused by finally receiving feedback, despite it being a criticism. Although I tell him which picks I like most and why, no one else ever comments one way or the other. I say, if you want comments, don't play it safe, but one of us needs to appear sane if not sensible, and that would by nature be Ed. ;)

The Jade |

Say what you will, but with the voice he had to work with, and the delivery, he picked the absolute best song in their catalog to do it with.
Sho nuff. Shiny nailed it though. Ed's pick could have played behind any John Leslie and Annette Haven scene. <--See how I didn't say John Holmes and Seka? That shows a depth that's hard to explain or justify before one's fellow man.

Hey, Ed and Rone. I'd love to hear what's going on with Super Genius Games. Maybe have Hyrum and new member Owen Stephens on sometime to talk about SGG and particularly what Pathfinder support is in the future? Just thought I'd toss this out there.
Expect it, but they'll likely want to talk about a single product.

The Jade |

Not to put too fine a point on it, but...a specific Pathfinder product?
I'm thinking of a product of theirs I would be AMPED to talk about but it's not Pathfinder specifically, though it has conversion tables throughout. I don't know if it's going to happen yet, but if it does, I want to hold an Xmas morn release slot open for it because it's just what I want under my plastic holiday tree with built-in bulbs. <--taking all the work AND fun out of Xmas since 1997.
I read parts of it before it released and it is so hot.

Great episode, Rone and Ed.
Am I just saying that because I've been dying to pick up DN's Pact books? No...not just...but I did love the coverage--great material. Another instance of learning increases one's pain as well as one's pleasure.
I even added to my Thanksgiving gratitude list a day after!
And don't even get me started on the 2012ers. I'm gonna kill the next buffoon who is not my mother-in-law who utters such nonsense and still them in a coffin constructed of recycled copies of The Late Great Planet Earth.

Erm... Why would I want to buy a book that contains a "dearth of new spells"? I really had to listen to that part three times to realize there were actually a lot of spells, but that's not what "dearth" means.
Otherwise, though, great podcast. The rant was awesome! And I'm actually a little curious about those books; I may have to check them out.

Oh, good, I wasn't the only one who heard that. I thought my brain was making things up again.

I was wondering the same thing--about my brain, that is.
Then I was wondering whether I had forgotten the definition of "dearth".
Now Rone can rant about people who are pedantic about grammar and word choices. :)

I already asked him to rant about the word "g&~#".
Anyway, normally I avoid picking apart the fine points of grammar, but in this instance, I couldn't figure out what he was trying to say on first listen because "dearth" was the exact opposite of what he meant. (I'm pretty sure it was Ed, but I'm not certain. Anyway, I won't hold it against him. I still love those guys.)

By the way, thanks for immortalizing my initial misspelling of "dearth"... Although apparently "derth" is an acceptable, if archaic, alternate spelling.

You're right, it was Ed. I hope they don't mind us gently poking fun, and I don't hold it against them either. Atomic Array is my favorite gaming podcast. I love you guys!

Taig, that is generous of you, man. You guys can poke fun all you like. We like it. And if we're not stabbed with pointy sticks, how will we ever learn?

You have captured my pedagogy perfectly...I will be sure and add this to my CV.
By the by, wouldn't De(a)rth Vader have been a good name?

And the silver spoon

Yeah, I never made full Jedi, so they just call me Jed to drive that point home and keep me around scrubbing bathrooms at the academy. Stinky job, man. Kenobi is a notorious won't-flusher ("Let the proletariat do their jobs!") and Jabba the Hutt is just one of his colossal leavings, gone sentient. I hate my Star Warsian life. Why couldn't I have been born in some far off magical land, like Passaic?

This was a fantastic show! You guys really got me interested in buying both books, especially since there's a dearth of pact magic books out there.
