Geek Girls Rule! Podcast #14

This is actually an interview I recorded with Emily Care Boss before GenCon and the debut of both RPGirl and Pirate Jenny.  But, as you’ve all heard, life intruded in a bunch of really unpleasant ways, so you get it now.

Geek Girls Rule! Podcast #12 – The Whiskey and Cigarettes Podcast

Yes, once again, I podcast with a hashed voice.  Sigh. Gotta happen once a year.

Podcast 12

In this one, I talk about the passing of Wash, Rhythm Heaven, Why Guy Ritchie is the absolute worst person to make a Sherlock Holmes film, Why Francis Ford Coppola still owes me $8 for Dracula, Go Play NW, D&D 4e doesn’t suck, and some other stuff.

Oh, and the Geek Girls! Rule Zazzle Store.

Can’t blog, eating pizza!

Geek Girls Rule! Podcast #11 – The Wild World of Fanfiction

The latest GGR Podcast is up!!!

Fandom Savant (also called Frog) and I chat about fanfiction, the whys and wherefores, as well as talking about current issues in fandom like outing and copyright law.

Enjoy!  And if you like it, comment and maybe we can peer-pressure her into posting.

PS Look for my review of MouseGuard later this weekend.

Geek Girls Rule! #78.5 – What am I playing? and More News

I want to start off with a reminder that GGR now has a Zazzle store.  Buy stuff, and support my gaming habit.  It’s expensive.  Role-playing games don’t come cheap.  Well, some of them do, but I really want copies of Houses of the Blooded and Passages.

Also, on the news front, I want to welcome Fandom Savant to the Geek Girls Rule! family.  She is going to be your one stop shop for FanFic news, and also some awesome analyses of television and other media.  She prefers to publish here under a pseudonym, because unlike me, she’s still hoping to get a job in academia some day.  You’ll be able to hear her in the upcoming Geek Girls Rule! podcast 11, just as soon as libsyn let’s me upload it.  We talk about fanfiction, why it is so popular and the different tropes and such.  It really is a magnificent podcast, and really interesting.  And yes, that is Fandom Savant, even though I call her Frog.  We’ve been friends for about 16 or so years now, and you just don’t get through that many years without accumulating some entertaining nicknames.  

Now, what am I currently playing?  We have just started a game of Mouse Guard over skype, with my Geek Sisterhood co-host Sophie Lagace and her husband Edmund, and another friend of theirs, Jason.  I’m very excited.  So far all we’ve done is character creation, but I’m very pleased with my character, a very Aramis-like little mouse named Jasper. 

Also, the Sunday group is now playing two series of Prime Time Adventures simultaneously.  We’ve just started season two of “Mystic Palms” which is our Harry Potter/Beverly Hills 90210/Heathers cross-over.  And we’ve just begun a show about a Japanese chef, trained in France and working in a Cajun Restaurant an hour or two outside of New Orleans, called “Redneck Remoulade.”  We just did the pilot for that one, and it’s fun. 

Every other Friday or so, we have the Spirit of the Century Girl Genius campaign, theoretically.  We have yet to actually play.  Which reminds me, I need to look for our characters.  And the Girl Game, after a couple of month hiatus due to the insanely busy schedules we all keep, is gearing up for another run.  We’re getting ready to convert our Unhallowed characters over to GURPS because I’m more likely to USE the system since I already know it, and I think it will convert just fine. 

That’s about it.  Gaming Radio Network has the first Geek Sisterhood podcast.  I will post the particulars here once I have them.  We have recorded the second and I’m working on editing it this evening.

Geek Girls Rule! Podcast #10

Geek Girls Rule! Podcast 10

In this podcast I talk about Resident Evil 5 and it’s racism issues, a Japanese game where the goal is rape, rewarding people and companies who at least TRY to get it right, Watchmen, GI Joe, Spore and Blood Bowl.

The Libsyn site has all the links and everything, and I need to get hopping on chores before we head for our Sunday game.

See you soon!!!

PS.  Wash had his latest check up with his vet yesterday, and it looks like the cancer meds are working.  His tumor appears to have shrunk at least a little, and his teeth are still firm in his gums.  His vet’s been treating ferrets who are prone to the same cancer with this med as well, and has had really good success with it.

Geek Girls Rule! Podcast #8 – My Gm-ing style drawbacks in Con Games

GGR Podcast #8.

It is periodically interrupted by hedgehog cuteness, and at least two hedgehog dives into my cleavage.
