     In this Episode Saul and Jolene talk about a "Bad GM".  They discuss things you should do as a player when you have this problem in a RPG.  First is identify the problem.  Then get consensus with your fellow players.  Then once the problem in confirmed then its time to be an adult, and have that kind of conversation.  This is much more complicated issue so Saul and Jolene discuss the many different aspects of this problem.  Of course Saul has to digress a couple of times to share a stories that may or may not have relevance, but as usual Jolene has the talent to bring him back on topic.

      Matt joins us on our 2nd Pre-Kublacon interview.  It is strange to think that over the last 35 years Saul and Matt had crossed paths many times but only really got to know each other by going to local game cons in Bay Area.   Matt shares with Saul and Jolene quite a bit of his history and how a kid from North Dakota came to the Golden State and settled in the Bay Area.  Matt is a popular GM at game conventions.   Matt tells us why Kublacon is very special to him.

    We apologize for the wonky audio but it happens sometimes when dealing with the finicky internet.  Still I think it is a very worthwhile to listen to this interview even with the less than perfect sound.

     Kublacon the convention that takes place here in the Bay Area in Northern California over the Memorial Day Weekend is the biggest game con on the West Coast.  Saul and Jolene decided to ask GM, Con-attendees why they like gaming cons and Kublacon specifically.  The first one to be interviewed was Honda C., she started playing while in Jr High School but stopped in High School as her gaming friends found other "cooler" things to do.   We learn why she likes game cons and why Kublacon is such a good convention for her.  Every point she made we totally agree with.  Listen to this gamer that found gaming just a few years ago and is making up for lost time.  From what she told us, she is making up for lost gaming time.  Thanks for doing the interview Honda!

     In this week's podcast, Saul and Jolene talk about Deadlands.  A classic rpg by Pinnacle.  Deadlands: The Weird West Roleplaying game was first published in 1996.  It is a world that diverges from our own at the Battle of Gettysburg.  Soldiers killed in that battle rose from the dead.  Also a huge Earthquake caused most of California to collaspe into the Pacific Ocean.  Raven a Native American shaman let loose spirits let back into the world.  This is the world of Deadlands . A fantastic setting of six guns, crazy machines powered by Ghost Rock, and gamblers able to throw spells.  It is a really fun setting.  One that Saul wishes he would be able to play more often in.

     Saul and Jolene discuss this useful tool to utilize when running RPGs.  What it an X-Card? When should you use it? Why should you use it?  Saul and Jolene talk about these topics and Saul remembers when he thought he didn't need to use such a tool because he didn't run "those" type of games.  As usual Saul deviates from the topic, but there is some relevance to his meandering stories.
