A Gaming Podcast About Nothing, Episode 18: The Day the Internet Forbade Us Discussing Twilight

Dave and Nate discuss blogging and anniversaries, creativity, past projects, Star Wars, actuaries, professional video game playing, Titansgrave: Ashes of Valkana, the World of Darkness games, and narrative-style play. They also attempt to discuss the Twilight books...but the internet forbids it, cutting them off before they could truly begin.

A Gaming Podcast About Nothing, Episode 17 - Diddly-do, diddly-do, diddly-do, diddly-do....

Nate and Dave discuss Superman, why combat rules are often so detailed, Feminist perspectives on violence, day-time TV, Woody Allen, dodgy impressions, Agatha Christie-based games, birds & bees (no, not that birds & bees) and much more. The podcast was interrupted by, quite literally, a falling tree: but AGPAN STOPS FOR NO MAN, WOMAN OR TREE!

A Gaming Podcast About Nothing, Episode 11: Pull Your Finger Out Of Your Arse And Do Something

We discuss "-punk", candlestick makers, guerilla role-playing, Into the Odd, combat crunch, Apocalypse World, rules-lite games and their pitfalls, Risus, one-shots and their pitfalls, Reign, publishing DIY products, Worlds Without Master, Yoon-Suin, and so forth. You'll notice it's heavy on game content. This is a New Year's Resolution.

There is a problem with sound in the first minute or two which is quickly resolved.

Dave and Nate discuss brussel sprouts, layout, hatemongers, twitter rage, Dave's qualities, Into the Odd, English cities, Nando's, and so forth.
