No show notes, but enjoy the episode!

Happy New Year! No time stamps again this week (because that would have destroyed my will to live) but it’s a great episode! We were joined by Wayne from Fear the Boot this week, with Nick and Jesse. No format this time (it’s explained why in the episode), but we covered a lot of ground. Below is a list of MOST of what we talk about, but I think I missed some, so for that, I apologize. Enjoy!

No time stamps today, but here is the link to Johnny G's acceptance speech..

Enjoy the episode! We certainly enjoyed recording it.

Hey everyone!Are you ready for a little GIRL ON GIRL ACTION? GIRLS talking with GIRLS about GIRLS gaming and GIRL gamers! GIRL!Here's what happened: About a week and a half ago, Minnesota was hammered with a major blizzard: 20 inches of snow in 20 hours. This is the worst snowfall we've had since 1991, so pretty much the entire Twin Cities metro area shut down, including the places where my wife and I work. So my wife and our two good friends (all three of whom are of the feminine persuasion) got on the mics in their jammies and jawed about gaming. So here it is! I hope you enjoy it!~Adam

Character Concept of the Week [53:17]: Specialized Mage

Hey guys, Adam again.

Nick and I sat down and had a conversation about the aforementioned types of gamers. We define them (as best we know how), talk about what it is to be these things, and how to deal with it when you have one of these in your game. I don't know how successful we were at that last part, but...

If you have definitions or suggestions, go ahead and leave them in the Comments prompt below, shoot us an e-mail at [email protected], or catch me on the Fear the Boot Forums - my forum handle is: The Almighty Bear.

Next week, we've got something special planned, so stay tuned...

Hey all, Adam here from the Kicked in the Dicebags Players Edition. When Chris Mais took us on board and excitedly explained his vision for the future of his podcast, we were all very stoked. During that conversation, Chris gave us his blessing to work on projects of our own and drop them in the feed. I toyed with the notion of dropping this in the Bullshittery category, but as the content of the episode is relevant to the things we discuss in the normal podcast, I felt it better to drop it here.

The recording of the pilot episode of the Players Edition was recorded in two large chunks on two separate days. On the second day of recording, Nick and I found ourselves on Skype waiting for Keith to get his equipment set up. I was itching to test my newly-downloaded mp3 recorder, so I suggested to Nick that we try and record a sort of mini-episode, just the two of us. What you find here is the result.

I hope you enjoy it: I intend to do more of these in the future.

Jack Chick Tracts

Dungeons and Dragons Movie - This has some stuff related to what Nick and I were talking about in the episode.

A brand new day has arisen in podcasting. Answering the call put out by Fear The Boot of a empty co- host chair that one man left,eight men entered and the whole playing field has changed. Meet Keith, Adam G and Nick as they dive right in to the pilot episode, introductions, resumes of roleplaying cred, top geek movie picks, and how we come up with character concepts. I really have to tell you these guys rock and come out of the gate swinging but don't take my word for it. Take a listen!! And stay tuned to hear the other half of the rest of the yet unnamed hosts as they get on the mikes with me on the Kicked In The DiceBags: The Masters Edition!!

In this episode wihich is well over two hours long we ( myself, Evil Mark, Collin, Kim and Marc) discuss characters that will inhabit the Slipstream actual play game and their concepts as well as stats, skills and things that will distinguish them in the game setting and we hash out rules. After that topic is covered (and I apologize we had fewer Skype drops to edit) then we discuss at length bad science fiction movies. the let downs of the production studio, possible remakes and why or why they shouldn't be made and the idea of retconning as opposed to rebooting a concept.
