Sat, 22 November 2008 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. Links: The Brilliant Gameologists, who said some very nice things about my podcasts and who are very, very funny .

Mon, 4 August 2008 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 Girls Read Comics at Girl-Wonder.org I hope you enjoy it!

Sat, 14 June 2008 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. Go Play NW: http://goplaynw.wetpaint.com/?t=anon HorrorFest: http://www.horrorfestonline.com/ 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. Comments[0] |
Wed, 4 June 2008 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.

Thu, 28 February 2008 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. Comments[0] |
Fri, 11 January 2008 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.
