Things keep moving quickly. We just returned from Phoenix Catcus Comicon and will now be heading to OrcCon. We are not going to be exhibiting this time but shouldn’t be to hard to find. Other news includes the closure of GenCon So Cal, further expounded upon by this open letter from Peter Atkinson. All of this excitement is unfortunately missed by Jeremiah. He is instead away with guard duty for the weekend.

Boyan Radakovich joins us as a special guest host. We met Bo at DarkCon and invited him to join us at Phoenix Comicon to work with us in our exhibit and promote his game. He introduces his first design to be released, High School Drama. It is a light hearted card game about the politics of high school. Bo founded Shifting Skies Games just on the other side of Tucson making himself an easy target when we need some help.

Derek, Bo, and Don met up with a group of Arizona podcasters to speak geek and drink coffee. We keep meeting more great people the the podcasting arena and these folks are no exception. We had a great time and want to thank all of you for letting us tag along.

• Dan and Cj (The Love Long and Prosper Podcast)
• Ken (The Mac Update) and Becky
• Aaron and Jenny (The Big Show)

Speaking of great folks in podcasting, we want to also say hello to Derek and Swoopy from one of our favorite podcasts, Skepticality. We brought up their recent interview with Micheal Stackpole and played their promo during the break.

You have heard us talk about Lonnie Ezel’s podcast novel, Daughter of the Sun. We have the pleasure of reading "The Story So Far" for one of the segments. Thanks for including us Lonnie! We had a lot of fun with it. And now, Daughter of the Sun…

A long time friend and listener send us two "Get Out of Hell Free" cards. Jeremiah, I guess you are on your own. The card parodies a community chest card from Monopoly and directs us to check out This is True, a column by Colorado humorist Randy Cassingham.

Also included during our feedback and helping to shape our theme for today’s show is a short reading from nailscars. We are really pleased when we can connect with people and touch their lives with the good word of gaming. It is truly healthy food for the brain and a great way to bring us all together.

We met more fine folks from Fantasy Book Spot, a very attractive web site that reviews fantasy and science fiction books. They said nice things about Pulp Gamer and High School Drama in an article reviewing DarkCon. Thanks guys and gals!
