Although everyone who entered our Great City Campaign Setting Giveaway won a copy of the PDF, we announce the three winners of the print version. I co-wrote this book, so it's unimaginably astounding.Damn, wish I hadda entered now. I only just bought this last week. =)
Sorry 'bout that, bro. :\
Try this episode's contest. We've given away a grand of stuff in ten episodes. Games, gift certificates to game sites, cash, Ipods. I'm not a fan of having to judge winners but giving stuff away is a lot of fun. :)

Hah, no probs. It was worth the money (although a Hard Copy would have been sweet). I am so not a fan of reading .pdfs over Hard Copies.
Speaking of which... while my wife's out with the kids is a good chance for me to print it off. Thanks for reminding me! =D
Holy s!~@! I won!
That was a real Rodney McKay -style psychic idea theft on my part, man. Sorry about that.
It was hard keeping quiet. I wanted to say, "What are the chances you'd win the book on your birthday?"
Congrats! Hope you enjoy it.
I wish the town I live in had a hug ward...
Green Grunt is funny, man.

Thanks, Flash!
I was just flipping through the hardcover today. It's meaty.
0one Games and ICE (Iron Crown Enterprises) signed a deal. Great City is being translated into the Rolemasters system. :)
Awesome show yet again! It truly sounded like you guys were having a blast. And how about that guest appearance by Cthu-Lou? Very funny!
I'm also glad Shiny won so we could hear his entry. It was hilarious!
Thanks, D!
"Can you hear me screaming now? Can you hear me screaming now?"
Shiny is going to replace me with that radio voice of his, I just know it.

No, I'm not. I used the "podcast" setting on GarageBand when I recorded that, and it did this weird EQ thing that made me sound like Barry White. My real voice sounds sort of like a cross between this, this, and this (except divide all of their ages in half, and surgically remove the cumulative talent).
That, and you're cooler than I am.

Congrats Shiny - and happy birthday, my man! Be sure to let us know how you liked the Great City Campaign Setting. (That is what you won, right? How embarrassing if its not).
Would love to find out which was your favorite ward and why.
- Lou

Hey Shiny, you should walk around with the "podcast" equalizer on one of those voicechanger thingies Shiny... you voice sounded creepy sweet in that Phone Call! =)

Oh you do have me curious.
My friends were weirded when they first heard me do a podcast because I have a deep voice, but for some reason, when I do a podcast my voice shoots up a ways. I think it's goofy enthusiasm. Doing podcasts and getting to talk about these games gives me a bit of a buzz. When the interviews end I usually keep talking to the guest game designers and publishers for at least another hour. Those poor bastards. This last episode my voice sounded even higher and thinner than usual. I think because I was a little throat sick. That's what I get for juggling ice cubes with my b@!!$.
Damn that Shadows of Cthhulu sounds nice, but I'm not a big Fan of True20. It's definately a good system, but d20 is more to my taste (and more so since PFRPG has improved on it).
Well then we'll have to get PFRPG on the show.
Ed, take care of that, would you?

I dunno, here I expected a deep voice full of Gandalfy power and projection (don't ask me why), instead... I got Steve Buscemi!
;-)

Your audio pickups are feeding back cos they're touching the metal of your head. You need some new gaskets.

I don't have the deepest voice in the world, but when I'm on the phone or recorded it sounds like a damn girls! =(
I'm really unhappy about it... it just sounds sh!t.
"Definitely a kidnapper."
But only on Thursdays. Not on Saturdays.
K-Mart Sucks.

I feel your pain. A few episodes ago I mentioned the thing about my voice going up and getting 'deviated septummy' right before a podcast in my rant where I list what I can't stand about myself.
Perhaps next time I podcast, I'll try and dial it back a bit and see what transpires. There's even a hint of a NY accent I don't actually own (though I've lived here since 8th grade). It's as if I've unknowingly created an energetic interviewer alter ego. That said, the bouncy giddy me might be more interesting to listen to than the sedate, deep-voiced 'cool guy'. AYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! <-- What, Fonzie isn't your cool guy?
Ed and I have a couple of other podcasts almost ready to launch, and the show that I plan on doing alone has me talking quite deeply throughout, but then there's no conversation with other people. Part of my job as an interviewer is setting tone and rhythm for guests and also putting them at ease. Playing the part of clown gets nervous guests laughing and loose.
Hey, c'mon, being compared to Buscemi isn't, uh, that bad... I think...right?Holy awful.I dunno, here I expected a deep voice full of Gandalfy power and projection (don't ask me why), instead... I got Steve Buscemi!
;-)
I'm not actually sure there is a worse thing someone could be called. Oh wait, I found something.
Midroad moose dump, still warm and fresh. Yeah, definitely better to be called Buscemi than midroad moose dump, still warm and fresh.

Yah. My voice normally sounds all Peter Mulvey-y, but whenever I need to say anything important (or, like, y'know, play music), it shoots through the roof and breaks like a glass unicorn. F%#%.

There you go! Think positive, you may sound like Steve but at least you don't remind anyone of a moosepie. Besides Steve is a successful actor, what's not to like...?

Four years before Reservior Dogs came out, Buscemi jumped on my back like a frothing ebola monkey and had his lusty way with me when we sat next to each other in traffic court on Long Island, shouting, "Didn't see this comin', didja boss?!" repeatedly.
I'm still in therapy over it.

If you're not a girl, then what about Artemis Grayson, and...Coralee Starscryer, and errm, Samantha Bastian,... Sabriel Angelfire, poor Elizabeth Danflor, Vesper, the wonderful Caliope Breezekeeper, Joleesa Morvais....

Well in his defence, Artemis is a Guy! ;)
Heh, out of 9 PbP Characters 7 of them are female... scary ain't it?
EDIT:And I expect more effort next time... those names should have all been links to the wonder of my Character Creation! Mwuh huh huh haaaaaa!
;)-
But I wouldn't want anyone knowing my private shame. That's why I never talk about it in publ... oh... oh dear...So any chance you can do a whole show sounding like Christopher Walken? (I heard about that incident too...)
I do a fair Walken impression. Then again, so do eight billion other people on a six billion person planet.

I saw Izzard live some years back.
I didn't understand but five words out of his mouth. Seriously. When I see him on TV I understand him, but my conversational hearing is a bit poor (prolly too much loud music in days past) and his mumbling through the PA was rough. Some others couldn't hear him well, but the diehards heard every word. I think they must have read his lips. ;)

Define do.
"It depends on what the meaning of the word 'do' is. If the--if he--if 'do' means do and never has been, that is not--that is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement....Now, if someone had asked me on that day, is Jade having any kind of sexual relations with Mr. Walken and Mr. Buscemi, that is, asked me a question in the present tense, I would have said no. And it would have been completely true."

You assume much. Actually Walken, Uma, Buscemi, Barton and Aniston all made an orgy film called W.U.B.B.A. Wubba. It wasn't well received, despite us really put our hearts, and backs, into it.
But who had the largest part?
In 99 out of 100 rooms, I usually have the largest part, but I'm loathe to admit Buscemi's was like three Schlitz cans welded together.
