POINT BLANK Special Presentation: Joseph Carriker

The Pulp Gamer Crew — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 14:29:44 -0400

Every episode of POINT BLANK features a recorded interview with the creative team at White Wolf that gives listeners a sneak peak at the new releases coming out in a segment called White Wolf Confidential. For episode 2, I had the pleasure of interviewing the lead developer for Vampire: The Requiem, Joseph Carriker, about the beautiful new clanbook series.

I think Joseph did such a great job detailing this new line, I decided to release the full interview as its own separate show. I am certain that you will find this interview enjoyable and very informative, especially if you’re looking for more information about the Ventrue clanbook, Lords Over the Damned.

The total length of this special director’s cut interview is roughly 15 minutes and includes information not included in POINT BLANK episode 2 due to time constraints. Enjoy!

Please email all questions and comments to boyan [@] pubservinc.com.

Wil Wheaton Reading at Phoenix Cactus Comicon 2008

The Pulp Gamer Crew — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 20:50:37 -0500

We have a special treat for you from Wil Wheaton (geek, gamer, writer, Wesley Crusher). He preformed a reading from some of his work at Phoenix Cactus Comicon last weekend and invited us to record it for you. You are going to have a great time with this one. It is about an hour long but easy to listen to in two half-hour drives, though by the time you listen to the first story I doubt you’ll want to stop. The first half is a story called Blue Light Special from his book, The Happiest Days of Our Lives. Its a fun bit about buying Star Wars toys as a kid. The second is a humorous look at a Star Trek: The Next Generation episode entitled Justice.
