Tome GenCon Special - Design and Dev Seminar Part 1
Friday Aug 06, 2010
Friday Aug 06, 2010
Part 1 of the Design and Development Seminar by Wizards of the Coast. The whole seminar was 2 hours long, but I can't do episodes that long without having technical problems. So I'll give it to you in two parts. Here's part one and part two will come out probably after the con is over unless I can't think of a better recording to give you tomorrow night (although maybe I'll give you more than one recording a night during the con...if you want it let me know).

Saturday Jul 31, 2010
Saturday Jul 31, 2010
In this episode I got a preview copy of the novel, Elminster Must Die! releasing in hard cover on August 3rd, 2010. I not only review the first Elminster novel set in the 4e version of the Forgotten Realms, but I spend most of this episode talking to Ed Greenwood, author of the book and creator of the Realms, about this book and other Realmsian things.

This is the episode that got crashed. First, Mike Shea crashes Matt James, Quinn Murphy, and myself reviewing the Demonomicon. Then Matt James crashes the interview I was conducting with his brother, and author of Demonomicon, Brian R. James. Meanwhile, there is also crashing from the audience as we introduce the Tome voicemail line (919-BIZ-TOME).
