jean.delumeau@gmail.com (Unknown) — Tue, 10 May 2016 21:24:00 +0000

Dave and Nate's critically acclaimed podcast is back due to overwhelming public demand. In this episode, the discussion takes in: the Twilight Saga (which Dave would like to place on record that he has not read and only half-seen), the World of Darkness games, Reality Bites (yes, really), current and future projects, Batman vs Superman, the advantages of print over PDF, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Dragonlance, Johnny Silverhand, Kickstarters and their problems.... And much else besides. It's an hour and eighteen minutes long.

Nate and Dave discuss Captain Scarlet, Cyberpunk 2020, nefarious acts of theft, Cyberspace, getting books out of the library, synesthesia, and Fighting Fantasy and other gamebooks; they also reminisce about first-ever role playing experiences and favourite character classes.

As rank amateurs, they forget to introduce themselves: Dave/noisms is the one who speaks first ("So what do you want to talk about?").

They also incorrectly describe this as Episode 1, whereas it should be Episode 0. What did you expect, competence?
