This may be something of a more serious and personal post from me. I've wanted to talk about this for a long time, but I was never sure where to start or what to say. Even right at this moment as I'm typing away, I'm not sure how I'll really say what I need to say or if I'll be able to help people understand my situation. I'm not even sure why I'm writing it. Catharsis, maybe. A plea for people to be patient and understanding, perhaps. I don't know.

The podcasting continues!
Episode 3 of 4 Geeks 4e has been released. It was a great show about D&D Monsters, specifically relating to the changes relating to the Monster Manual 3. We could have kept talking for ages on the subject. NewbieDM made a special guest appearance.
I put in another guest host appearance over at the DM Roundtable podcast too, for Episode 6. I think that I qualify as a "regular guest host" given that I've been on the show 50% of the time. This show was also really interesting. We started off talking about players who seem excessively bloodthirsty, the possible reasons for it, and some ideas for things to do with it. Then we transitioned into talking about the Dresden Files RPG, talking about the setting a bit, some unique features of the game, and otherwise interesting bits.
You can find links to both shows off to your right. Enjoy, comment, and rate them.

*shakes off the dust*
I've been a little neglectful of this place in the last couple of weeks. So let's get back into it, shall we? Let's go into what I've been up to in the last 2 weeks.
The second episode of 4 Geeks 4e has been posted. In it we talk about some of the reasons that we play D&D4e. The nice thing is that between the 4 of us, we covered all the reasons that I like to play it so I don't even really have to elaborate with things that I didn't get to say on the show.
I was a guest host on 2 episodes of the DM Roundatable podcast, specifically episodes 3 and 4. These were a great deal of fun to do, not least because we can talk about things that would be beyond the scope or length of a typical 4 Geeks podcast. And we really did, especially on episode 4 which clocks in at nearly 2 hours.
I have a one-shot D&D game schedule for this Sunday that I'm looking forward to. I've rolled up a bit of an odd character (a Shardmind Avenger of Pelor) but it should be quite fun. I will live-tweet the game if I'm able to.
It's not D&D related, but I've joined a Dresden Files RPG group with some great people and I'm very much looking forward to that. Once we get started, I'll probably have more than a few posts about it.
Also on a not-D&D note, we had our first Call of Cthulhu casualty last night. Probably won't be our last. A giant snake just demolished our Vietnamese gangster PC. One bite, 14 damage, dead PC. The doctor PC kept him from dying from blood loss... only to have him die of the extremely potent poison.

I'm in a podcast! 4 Geeks 4e is unleashed today
Something more than a couple of months ago, I was talking with two fun and interesting RPG bloggers/writers on Twitter about the possibility of doing a podcast together. I've wanted to do an RPG podcast for over a year now, but had never really had the opportunity. I wanted to do a D&D4e focused show, which left out at least one person who I'd otherwise jump to have a podcast with, and I otherwise couldn't find people I wanted to host with. However, I thought that ThadeousC and DMSamuel would be good partners and thus we got to working. It was secret for a while, but I think most people could figure out what we were working on.
We've had some fits and starts. We originally recorded our first episode over a month ago, before I went on a vacation. We weren't happy with it. Which is why you're not going to hear it (sorry). We had some discussions, rethought some things, and decided to rerecord the first episode. And due to a technical issue... you won't get to hear our second attempt either. Even we don't get to listen to this one again. This one really is a shame though, because we had some good stuff in that lost recording. However, the fact that we did have problems meant that we got to bring in SarahDarkmagic into the podcast as a regular host and I think that will be good for the show.
So, now that I've prattled on about it, go listen! You can find the show at 4geeks4e.com. I'd personally like to thank Jessica (you know who you are) for giving us the name for the show. Thanks also to Candice, for giving me (and therefore the show) some good feedback and being supportive of me in general.
