#013 Curse of the Riven Sky with Monte Cook
Available now Click Here
Unlucky Episode #013 finally rolls in! On the cast, we have something old and lots that is new. On the CCW, we feature a villainous build we call "The Black Knight". The co-creator of the 3rd edition of D&D, Monte Cook, joins us in the studio to discuss his lengthy career in the RPG business. From a freelancer for Iron Crown Enterprises, to TSR and the Dead Gods, to his days at WotC and the development of 3rd edition, Malhavoc Press and the founding of the .pdf sector of the industry...to Monte on 4E and his take on why the current edition of D&D is having a comparatively hard time in the marketplace. This is a great interview that you do not want to miss.
On a special installment of the Deck of Many Things, we turn the discussion to software and Pathfinder RPG with a pair of interviews with two software developers for PFRPG: Colen McAlister of Lone Wolf Development discusses Herolab while Matt Morton and Nick Bevilacqua of MindGene join us to talk about d20Pro. On the roundtable, we talk about our own experiences with the software and give you our thoughts on using these applications to better your game.
On the Chronicles side of the cast, Monte Cook returns to talk about his module Curse of the Riven Sky and his thoughts on adventure design. Finally Steel_Wind brings it home with his review of Curse of the Riven Sky in Spoilerific fashion. Unlucky 013 may be late. It may even be Cursed. But it is still our best episode yet!

Seems that did the trick. Ah-hah-hah-HAH-HAH-HA!
Pod sounded good as usual, one thing that popped into my head when you were discussing the level of rewards available in the module though:
For some PCs, that's what I would call a big reward.

This is an excellent episode (as usual). I really like the interviews with the guys from Hero Lab and D20Pro. Our group has been using Hero Lab for over a year now and don't know how to run Pathfinder without it. It's really interesting to hear how they are going to expand and modify it over the next year and the future of the product.
And I've always wanted to try using the D20Pro system. It sounds like they are just about to get the Pathfinder license for D20Pro which would be awesome.
Of course the interview with Monte Cook is as interesting as anyone might expect. That guy is a machine, he seems to be everywhere and doing everything in the world of RPGs. Any interview with Monte is always a gem to hear how his mind works and how they came up with a lot of the mechanics of the 3.0 system.
Great job guys as usual!
