This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

As a reminder to any listener of the show, there is a contest this week.  The question is: what game, published in 2000, was designed for one player and one GM?

Be sure to send your guesses for the contest to 2gms1mic@gmail.com, the winner will be selected at random from all of the correct guesses. The winner will be announced at 2gms1mic.com on Monday, May 23rd, 2011. Be sure to send us your snail mail address so you can claim your prize.

Just listened to episode 3 while working. I like the energy and the enthusiasm in your voices. Music between sections are great and works for transitions. My main issue is that your discussions are like wild gazelles on amphetamines. I think you should slow things down a bit and would get a better more digestible podcast. Also there's a little too many private jokes and my brain just starts thinking about boobz and beer when you're getting obscure that way. I appreciate the structure of the show but I think you guys could insist a little more at the beginning of each section what you're going to discuss. Again it feels like you want to run a little too fast toward the core of what you want to discuss.

I can see that, and sorry about the in-jokes, I think we're yearning for a community of listeners to provide us with more of them.  I'll be sure to watch that in the future.  

I think we did a good job on episodes 1 and 2 in announcing what we are doing, but then got sloppy later on.  I will definitely be making changes on that!  Thanks for the feedback.

Right manuscript submitted.

However with nosy prude parents around I really need some fucking headphones!

Edit: Listening to episode 1. You guys are great.

I'd very much like to take you up on your offer via PM.

If you can work out how I could even do an interview. I have Skype even though I rarely use it!

Episode 4 was pretty good. The discussion about your group's preferences and method for choosing games was useful because you provided context and perspective. The enthusiasm is still high and you two complement each other very well in the hosting department. I don't feel like there's a need to invite other voices for the sake of it.

Regarding your question to your listeners: I'm interested in the section about current gaming in your group. As long as there's context, extrapolation, some kind of lesson to take away from your AP reporting that is. Sharing stories for the lulz is good too.

I think we've been doing that, and I'm glad you like it!  We were worried about ti being 10-12 episodes of "This game," but enough happens that we'll add some lulz stories and lessons.
