This is a bi-weekly program where I will be spotlighting different role-playing games, from the latest OGL product to classic games from 20 years ago! Each episode will spotlight one game. You can also expect interviews from up-and-coming game designers and publishers as well as answers to common problems for both GMs and players. Be sure to tune in for each episode so that you may be enlightened, entertained, and inspired. Your next campaign may be hidden right beneath your nose.

Relaunch coming soon

Relaunch coming soon
I know it's a little ridiculous to have to relaunch after only 6 episodes, but 2005 was a hellacious year for me. However, after getting a new home with a new job and much fewer worries, I am rebuilding my life and, you better believe it, this podcast.<br /><br />I loved doing this show way too much, and I miss doing it. I am currently compiling some new content and I am writing up a new episode. To quote Tim Allen's character Jason Nesmith/Cmdr. Peter Quincy Taggart from Galaxy Quest, "Never give up - Never surrender!!"<br /><br />And surrender I never will, especially if you never give up on me. As I type this, I notice I have 123 people subscribed with their aggregators, and I'm certain even more than that are checking this website regularly. I know you're out there, and I'm feeling the love.<br /><br />Also, based upon what you've heard thus far, what else would you all like to see in the show when I get it finally compiled? I'd love to hear your suggestions. You know the addy: [email protected].<br /><br />Happy gaming,<br /><br />Mike<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-8343927270247546"; google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 90; google_ad_format = "728x90_as"; google_ad_type = "text_image"; google_ad_channel =""; google_color_border = "669966"; google_color_bg = "99CC99"; google_color_link = "000000"; google_color_url = "00008B"; google_color_text = "336633"; //--></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script></div>

Failed save vs Hacking

Failed save vs Hacking
Hey, Gamers,<br /><br />Your friendly neighborhood GM here. When I originally went off the air, it was a brief hiatus for Christmas and also to take care of my partner, Jude, who was having terrible troubles with both his health and his teeth. Recently, those problems have been taken care of, and I've been fighting tooth and nail to be able to keep power and internet coming into my home. It's not been easy.<br /><br />But now I can't record my podcast. See, the machine that I was using to record was attacked by hackers, and there's a trojan of some kind that keeps uninstalling my sound drivers as well as my printer. Not only do I want to do RPG Showcase again, but I have a business to run as well, and I need my printer to work.<br /><br />If anyone knows how to take care of this problem, please let me know. Otherwise, I'm going to keep working on getting this show back up again. I am so pissed off at this, and the last month that, I feel, has been wasted. You, my listeners, deserve better than this, but I'm sure that some people would rather just get their kicks messing up other people's lives with their computers.<br /><br />God Bless, everyone, and I'm still thinking of you. RPG Showcase is not off the air for good, in spite of some e-mails I've gotten (thanks for expressing your concern).<br /><br />Mike Conway<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-8343927270247546"; google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 90; google_ad_format = "728x90_as"; google_ad_type = "text_image"; google_ad_channel =""; google_color_border = "669966"; google_color_bg = "99CC99"; google_color_link = "000000"; google_color_url = "00008B"; google_color_text = "336633"; //--></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script></div>
