Introduction

Hi, how was your summer? See any good movies? TV? Read any books? So, yeah its been a … while since our last episode. This little thing we try to avoid called “real life” got in the way. And we are really really sorry that happened. We are happy to be back on track with our little podcast and we hope you like Episode Number 9, Number 9, number .. er um 9 a lot. We are already in the process of stapling 3 by 5 cards together into Pyramid hats that will eventually be Episode 10. Stay tuned! Oh, and thanks a million to Eric Troupe for coming in and doing a stellar job in the 3^rd chair.

But what else would you expect from a guy who does a podcast called “Monkeys Took My Jetpack”?

Before we even left the station, we mentioned the amazing Doctor Who Table Top RPG. To learn more about the Cubical Seven Doctor Who games mentioned visit this site

Also, Ranger mentioned the classic Table Top RPG company White Wolf. Here is an unofficial site that does a great job at detailing the history and the systems of the company.

Introduction

This month, we’re joined once again by Byron Lee, who appears to have an unhealthy fascination with the third chair. Our chairs aren’t nearly as comfortable as a ride in the Delorian, but once we’re all strapped in, we travel back to the future to talk bacon, Easter candy, the consumption of an entire convention, and a lot more.
