Basically, this is here to reassure that I am not suffering from pod-fade.  I'm still here.  There will be two really good interviews coming up in the next month or so. 

Also, in this podcast I discuss:
AmberconNW http://www.amberconnw.org/
Emerald City GameFest http://emeraldcitygamefest.org/
Eric Flint http://www.ericflint.net/
Burning Wheel http://www.burningwheel.org/

It has come to my attention that I have mistakenly linked David Drake to the Honor Harrington books.  That didn't sound right at the time, so I went back and checked.  David WEBER wrote the Honor Harrington books, and he has ALSO written with Eric Flint.  So that's how I screwed that up.  Yes, I have read the Honor Harrington stuff, it's ok.  Not one of my favorites, but ok. 

The lucky 13th Geek Girls Rule! podcast, and it's lived up to its rep.  It took me three tries to upload the damn thing. 

In this podcast I talk about Race Fail 09 with Mikki Kendall, and the publishing company that she and Jamie Nesbitt Golden founded, Verb Noire.

If you want more information on Race Fail '09, please go to FanHistory.com

Just to warn you, there are times when it gets awful quiet. 

Now I'm going to just give up on sleep for the next three weeks.  We just got a new kitten who will, I'm sure, figure heavily in the next podcast.

And just to repeat, the glitch in the Verb Noire Store is fixed, so you can buy their first ebook, River's Daughter by Tasha Campbell.   

Now I'm going to take a shower, and extricate the kitten from where ever she's got herself stuck.

Finally, yes, I know. 

Anyway, in this podcast I talk about the passing of Wash.
Rhythm Heaven.
Why Joe Quesada should quit talking.
Why Guy Ritchie is the absolute wrong person to make a Sherlock Holmes film.
Why Francis Ford Coppola still owes me $8 for Dracula.
Go Play NW.
My buddy Chris.
Crypticon.
And a bunch of random shit.  No links for you, it's hot, you have thumbs and Google, and I have editing to do. 

Enjoy.

Also don't forget the written columns at Geek Girls Rule! the blog!  Fandom Savant is a new contributor. 

Article on Resident Evil 5.  I misspoke, it was not Racialicious, which is itself a damn fine blog, but Ta-Nehisi Coates writing for the Atlantic.  Although Racialicious does quote a review from Eurogamer on their site. 

The most recent Shakesville article on Rapelay (I mispronounced it in the podcast).

Ok, so this is part one of the Girl Gaming Podcasters Podcast hosted on Geek Girls Rule!  Kristin from "This Modern Death," Meg from "The Brilliant Gameologists" and Jenn from "The Trap Cast" joined me via Skype for over two hours of giggling chaos. 

In this half of the podcast, we discuss how we got into gaming, bad gamer girl stereotypes, the health of my hedgehog Wash and other critters, and what we're currently playing, as well as pimping our separate podcasts.

This podcast discusses some realizations I've made about my GM-ing style and the fact that I need to get a touch more ruthless at times.  It is also interrupted several times by hedgehog cuteness.  But that just happens.

In this podcast I and my friend Marcy talk about sex and gaming:  how to use it as a plot hook, in character interactions, whether or not rape is such a good plot device or justification for the motivations of a female character, flirting in and out of character, and the dreaded "have you ever had sex in character" question. 

And, of course, there is a lot of giggling and silliness. 

In the podcast we reference the following:
Geek Girls Rule #2 - Bad Male Gamer Archetypes
In fairness:  Geek Girls Rule #3 - Bad Female Gamer Archetypes
Geek Girls Rule #19 - Playing the Opposite Gender

I hope you enjoy it!

Geek Girls Rule! Podcast 5, in which I drink too much vodka, enthuse about Go Play NW, talk about LGBT fandom, HorrorFest, answer a question from a listener of podcast 3, and gush about how freaking awesome Glen Cook is.

Glen Cook:  http://www.glencook.org/index.php/Main_Page

Hope I'm not too drinky in this.  And believe me, I edited out a lot of "um"s.  Just like tequila eats math, vodka propagates "um"s. 

First, I apologize for the rampant chaos that is this podcast, and the one really lousy edit.  In this podcast, I interview several members of the Kids' gaming group run by my friend Jeremy.  Four of the girls and one of the boys were there, and I largely just asked questions and then let them run themselves out. 

Mentioned in this podcast:

In this podcast I talk to my all girl gaming group about women who game, comics and the ridiculous ways in which both comics and gaming art depict the female form. 

Sites referenced in this podcast are:

In this podcast I interview Sherry Yeary, President of Privateer Press (http://www.privateerpress.com). We discuss the history of the company, female characters in their products, their successful product lines for Warmachine, Hordes, RPGs and the Bodgers card games, as well as their upcoming product, Monsterpocalypse!

Quick disclaimer:  Mr. Geek Girl What Rules is employed by Privateer, which is how I was able to meet Ms. Yeary and convince her to let me interview her. 

I apologize for my voice.  I swear, if I could do a convincing German accent I'd have done the entire interview as Marlena Dietrich.

This is the first Geek Girls Rule! podcast.  In it, I talk about what makes me a geek, gaming, comics, burlesque and assumptions about geeks. 

You can find the column at http://www.geekgirlsrule.wordpress.com

At the end I mention Ernest Cline's poem "Nerd Porn Auteur" which can be found here:  http://www.ernestcline.com/spokenword/

Enjoy.
