Greetings Gamers! This week, Howard returned from GenCon and gave us his report on one of the biggest Gaming Conventions in the world! For those that don’t remember, Howard volunteers with the gaming company AEG, at their booth they have, doing game demos and sales. So he gets an interesting view and insight into the inner pulse of the Gaming Industry! This year, Howard brings us some interesting rumors and info from his time at GenCon.

So come and hear what he has to say! And we’re sorry for the delay in posting this, knowing that GenCon was a few weeks ago. It just took a while for us to get the episode ready!

Special Note: Today is also the 15th Anniversary of the 9/11 attack on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon. As many service men and women, both local/domestic and in the armed forces, are Gamers, we gave a moment of silence during our recording today as a salute to you all. Thank you for your service. Keep on gaming!

Roll High, Play Well, Die Hard!

Greetings Gamers! This week, as Howard was off at GenCon, I had our Superwoman, Chella, come and Co-Host for me and she wanted to bring her best-friend, Jen, on and interview her! Jen and Chella have been friends for over 15 years, and have been working on numerous projects together. Jen is also an Old Gamer, having started way back with some of the first D&D sets, so she brings an interesting view on the history of our favorite hobby! Plus, Jen and Chella are a blast together!

So come join in the fun!

Greetings Gamers! This week, we respond to some listener feedback. A friend of a friend, by the name of Will, sent a question about some comments I made in an episode a few seasons back about D&D 4th Edition. So Howard and I review his questions and come up with a response and then things get interesting!

Come join us and find out what I mean!

Greetings Gamers! Sorry for the late posting of this, and you may hear that some of these episodes were recorded a little while ago, so there may be some delayed info in these first few episodes. I’m going to see about posting up multiple episodes at once to get caught up.

Anyway, this week, we go over an article written by Ed the Bard. He has a string of articles with advice to GM’s (sound familiar?

Greetings Gamers, and welcome to the 7th Season of, and the new and improved, Rho Pi Gamma: The Gamer’s Podcast!

We are kicking off our new season with not only a new website, and with some great plans for later in the year, but also with two great interviews; our own Co-Host Howard and the wonderfully kind, and greatly talented, Chella! Howard has been hard at work writing for a RPG Publisher and has his first book hitting shelves! Chella is a web comic creator and designer, she even made us our new site here!

Greetings Gamers! And Merry Christmas, Blessed Yule, Happy Holidays, and Joyous Life Day to all!

I’m sorry to have this episode up so late (we recorded back on the 13th!), but I am very proud to present to you our Season 6 Finale. And this time, WITH VIDEO! I finally was not only able to figure out how to record in Google Hangouts again, but I was able to figure out how to record the Video of our gaming session!

So this week, for our Finale, we had a rather large group as I answered the gauntlet that Howard had thrown down a few episodes ago. Me, running a Star Wars D6 RPG, with nothing but a die, a pencil, and a napkin. Because we are doing this on the web, I used Roll20, but still did it rather Bare-Bones, if I do say so myself.

PLUS, we not only had our good friend Puff back to help play, but 3 new gamers to the podcast! 2 of which are in my Lucky 13 Group, Darcie and Cisco, and one of them I had never before played an RP with, much less had on the podcast! She’s my good friend Kennedy, one of the creative minds behind the AWESOME webcomic Tamuran! (find the link to the comic below)

Greetings Gamers! This week, we don’t really have a topic, Howard and I just go on about dealing with death in real-life and Howard’s plans for a Savage World’s version of Star Wars.

Anyway, this week, since I’ve ended my Epic Game, I ask Howard for some advice on how he preps for a new game, as I’m getting a few games going with my groups!

Greetings Gamers! This week Howard and I go over the Epic Game, how it started, how it ended, and Howard even makes ME give Goods, Bads, and Uglies for the game!

Greetings Gamers! This week, Howard’s little girl is sick so he couldn’t make it. In place, we have some more Gamer Buddies join us in his place; Miri, Matt, and Allison! Although, our topic is courtesy of Howard; the End of an Era.
