The beast is released!
Episode 05 weighs in at just under 4 hours of goodness!
* Steel_Wind and I recall fond memories from GenCon.
* We introduce a new guest host/GM and talk about what she'll be doing with us in future episodes.
* The Pathfinder Brand Seminar
* The Future of Paizo Seminar
Enjoy!
Awesome!
Great stuff, just finished!
I'm listening to it now. Love it.
I attended GenCon and played in a lot of the Pathfinder events you talked about. If I'd known how to find you, I would have come over and said hi.

I just wanted to say love your podcast and thanks for recording the seminars. My only complaint is I wish you had released the seminars separately on your feed. Four hours is a big chunk of audio.
Thanks for the kind words WillH! We almost released it in two parts due to the file size, we opted to spend the extra time and energy on episode 6 instead.
Can we find these on itunes?

Can we find these on itunes?
Yes - all of the podcasts are available on iTunes -- including Episode #005 (the Gencon Paizo Seminar Special).
A simply minimalist search on iTunes is to type in "Azmyth" as your keyword search term in Itunes and the links for Chronicles: Pathfinder Podcast pop right up under "podcasts".
Or, you could just type in "Chronicles Pathfinder" as your search term. Either way - you'll find it quickly.
Enjoy.
love the 'cast
when this one or the Know Direction starts downloading I get pumped up
what is a Steak N Shake?
With all due respect to Steel Wind and his run-in with the Indianapolis constabulary, it ain't GenCon if you don't have Steak N Shake!
It's a typical 50's-style diner two blocks from the con, and filled to overflowing around midnight as its one of the few places open to get food after the last game of the night. Personally, I love it. Never had a problem.
Nothing you can do about a cop with attitude, though. Some people want to protect the populace; some want to wear a gun. Something happens to some cops and judges when they put on the gear that makes them raging jerks.

Oh I know. Azmyth and I went there on Thursday night without incident. Acceptable burger, iffy fries -- great shake though. And we never had a problem there. Well, that night, that is.

I'm a lawyer in my day job. Judges are part of my normal routine and we are all respectful to one another - to a fault.
Off duty police? I can honestly say that in Canada, I have never seen a cop offer that sort of attitude to customers at a venue, ever. Mind you, I've never seen a cop acting as off duty security at something smaller than a concert or hockey game. The idea that a cop would ever be needed as security at a late night restaurant is unknown here.
More to the point, I've never had a female cop 15 years younger than I am give me attitude for any reason and my tolerance level for that sort of power-tripping is exceedingly low. Why it isn't also exceedingly low for the managment of Steak 'N Shake is what mystified me then (and it still does now, too).

as am I, and i agree with you
what kind of law do you practice?
Me, too. Criminal defense in Virginia.
I agree. I've met plenty of official jack-assery in the courtroom, but never that sort of hubris at an all-night diner. But you know, you have to be careful with gamers. You never know when you're going to be staring down the barrel of a plastic light saber...
Steel Wind, are you actually telling me you've never met a power-tripping judge? I may have to expand my practice to Canada. I know plenty of decent, conscientious judges, but I'd say some 40% think a black robe equals moral and intellectual superiority.

Commercial litigation here.
Sure - there are some judges who might not be the people I want to talk to all that much at a BBQ... but we don't elect *any* judges in Canada st any level. They are almost all competent and they tend not to be power trippers. Mind you - a Superior Court Justice in Canada does not have to pretend to be all that and a bag of chips (because they are; they aren't pretending :))
Lawyers liking complex games and complex rule systems? Who knew? :)
Virginia doesn't elect judges, either.

For the record, I've met more Azzhat attornies than police officers. Police officers are a mirror of society. You're going to have your jerks here and there, but for the most part, the majority are honest and hard working. I'll always support the side that locks up child molesters, wife beaters, and other unsavory types over those that choose to "protect" them.
I hope you get to live in a society where the accused are simply locked up, Mr. Brock.
Or if you find the society where the police or government never wrongly accuse or grossly overcharge their citizens, let me know. I'd like to vacation there. But I'll still live here, protecting the rights of Americans to have fellow citizens decide their guilt or innocence.

neither does New Jersey

Ha ha, thanks for the unintentionally funny post! I'm a lawyer, and I represent the state I live in against federal lawsuits by prisoners. So I guess I'm one of the "good guys" in your book. But your view of people who "protect" the criminals is, thankfully, not one that guided the people who, you know, actually wrote the constitution.
I work with police, U.S. Marshals, and corrections officers daily and, almost overwhelmingly they are extremely professional. But I certainly wouldn't claim that there aren't bad apples, and those bad apples have a lot of power to screw with people's lives. Criticizing a particular officer for behaving badly doesn't mean you are indicting the entire profession.
Well said.
Please note I said "some". I work with cops and judges all the time and most of them are great people.

Damn right. :thumbs up:

"Other unsavory types". Good thing there is no room for interpretation on who THAT might mean, right?
I don't do criminal defence work -- but I would have no problem doing it. I believe in the system and I KNOW that lawyers like Tarandor do more for protecting the rights of average people than anybody else in the country. That statement is made without any qualifications or exceptions.
The problem is that nobody sees themselves as the accused and the wrongfully convicted. Somebody else is always that guy. It's never you, your friends, or your family, right?
Until it is.
Thanks for the seminars.
You guys got a little too snarky in the pre-seminar bits for my tastes.
I agree, but otherwise it was a great, loaded episode.
