After listening to much Adventures in Sci Fi Publishing - in particular the Scott Sigler interview....I had to give his podcast books a go and damn - its a damn rocking good time listening to my new evil overlord. I have been sampling all his wares...I'm really not a sports fan but am even loving the Rookie - actually a lot...Let just say that you have another dedicated fan who will be adding to your sales on Infected....
So if anyone is reading this and likes good storytelling with a decidedly bloody bent do yourselves a favor and go listen to one of Scott's books....they are addictive I warn you but are a great way to entertain yourself....
Find him at
www.scottsigler.com
and really watch the short film linked to the site : Sacred Cows... again something worth you time....

worth my time...
I'll post short recommendations like this when I find something that I think is worth my time and may be worth yours.....
Todays will be a couple of podcasts...(I've got lots to recommend so I could fill a lot of these type posts...)
For a fond look back that is not at least for me a raping my childhood give a listen to Wil Wheaton at
http://www.pulpgamer.com/2008/01/28/wil-wheaton-reading-at-phoenix-cactus-comicon-2008/
His look back on his childhood and his time on Next Generation really mad me feel bad for not liking him on the show, sorry Wil I was one of those people and regret it now. We had a childhood love of all things Star Wars in common and the stories he told really did my heart good. Thanks Wil if you read this...
Any pen and paper Role Playing Gamers out here should give an ear to a buddy of mine from work on his podcast...Stabbing Contest at
ttp://stabbingcontest.libsyn.com/
Ogre talks to gamers about their lives, the games they play and what brought them to gaming. The show make me feel like I'm hanging out with my buddies bsing about games and shit...Its a good time and will do the gamer in you good.
And one for just general good stories that really get me emotionally (I don't know why they just do):

An inroduction...
Hello -
Just a short intro here and that's all for today.This blog will be mainly about how RPG's have been a part of my life and what I think is cool about them right now....maybe a review now and then and lots of Podcasts will be mentioned since that is where my involvement has been focused in the last few months; mainly listening but who knows I may start one if I find something to talk about....
The Hobby has been a part of my life since the late 70's when I first talked my mom into getting me the basic D&D set. It was mainly because of the Hobbit animated TV thing and my absent fathers interest in SF that I blame for my interest but hew I really do love the hobby so blame is the wrong word.
I have had tons and played lots of different games over the years - seen many of the systems that have been around and have toyed with making characters for them if nothing else. I played most of the early TSR games (D&D of all stripes, Gamaworld, Espionage, Ganngbusters, Star Frontiers pretty much all but Boothill), the first three iterations of Champions, Stormbringer, Call of Cthulhu (my favorite possibly), Runequest, most of the Microgames (small boardgames like Ogre, GEV, Melee, Wizard, CarWars...the pre Steve Jackson Games (C) Steve Jackson Games), Pulp Hero (only once to my shame), Star Rovers (lots of this over the phone), Mekton, Cyberpunk and several home brewed games of various anime influence. I had and adored Deadlands but never got anyone into playing it sadly. I got all the initial World of Darkness games and played not a one but really wanted to have the story game feel that they espoused. And then nothing for a little longer the a decade other then miniature games....
