The Elf and Dwarf

After talking about some recent news such as Buzz Aldrin’s blasting of popular Sci Fi, the Elf and Dwarf bring in some friends to talk about their first impressions of the new Dungeons and Dragons.  Focusing exclusively on the game play experience they talk about what’s new, what’s kept and what changes they like so far and what they don’t.

That’s right to mesh with our Halloween theme, the Elf and Dwarf talk about the classic RPG Vampire the Masquerade.  First comes some news (well a LOT of news) from the fantasy/ sci fi worlds including info on Pushing Daisies, the JLA movie, WoW news, and oh yeah, Dumbledore is gay.  Then usual quick email segment (the Dragonlance Trailer is out there!) and then Ady does a book review!

This is part 1 of a 2 parter this week.  In part one we cover the news from sci fi and fantasy (at least the news we’re interested in) and talk some more about the success and failure of movies from books, and video games.  There are also some tidbits about City of Heroes and some friend’s new blog articles.

Okay so that’s not all we have this week.  First the Hunter Pair go through the news wire and gab about some of the more interesting stories to come down the pipeline.  Kodath reports in on the new voice chat for WoW that’s finally implemented.  Back to gaming talk we go over how MMO’s and Table Top gaming seem to be converging again, but with MMO’s seeming to be winning in the conversion.  Some email reactions round out the show.

The new season of TV is on us!  Touching base on all the new TV in the Sci Fi and Fantasy genres that we plan to watch we make some predictions on what to expect this season, at least from our point of view.  We also defended our “bashing” of Eragon, and took a new look at laws about violent video games thanks to some listener emails.  Kodath makes his return to the show with a new regular news segment about goings on in WoW

Adeldia’s cold has worsened and she was unable to return this week.  But in an effort to fill her microphone, we’ve invited several friends to comment on a variety of RP related topics.  This week we are joined by Jim Moreno of /rolecraft and our guildies Mabon and Askashia for a panel-of-experts-style discussion.

The Elf and Dwarf go postal with a dive into their email bags and a bit of virtual house cleaning.  First we talk a bit about the law and WoW, then we mosey onto podcasting, mods, RPing, and all over the virtual map.  Oh, and why are there no moose in WoW?  Medros talks about Fizzwidget and Kodath’s got some thoughts on Shiney Happy Hordies.  If they’re holding hands, I don’t want to know.

This week we talked about what Pencil (for those pre-pen types) and Paper Role Playing Games are all about.  We talk about the first game where we really RP’ed, some of our favorite characters and campaigns and why table top gaming is fun.  We also put a spotlight on Seven Seas, an RPG all about buckling swashes.  Owing to a lack of preparation on Rorlins’ part, Medros and Kodath return with their regular segments at the end of the show.
