Your faithful editor had a back injury last week so I've not been able to edit the podcast as I would like.  So again a short episode with not much editing.  I'm better now and the episode on sunday should be back to the normal length and quality.

Sorry about the delay and the short episode.  I hurt my back this weekend and couldn't edit as much as I would like.  I'll make it up on the closing part. This week we talk about another Fringeworthy player character race, the Norlanders.  They are the decendants of the northern tribes that were the only survivors of a world wide plague.

This week we return to packing for success and tell about all the new gear we think will make a big difference in your adventure that has been released in the past 2 years.

Most of the crew when to GenCon and we took a little time out of our schedule to record an episode for you. We talk about all of the cool stuff we saw there and things we did and how you can make use of them in your games. This was a fun and light episode and yet full of good stuff! We were joined by Stephen Wollett as a guest host.

This week we end our prognostication of how the world would change if Bureau 13 went public and the supernatural with it.  This week we concentrate on the neutrals and enemies of the Bureau as listed in the main source book and also Bureau 13 Extreme.

With Dragoncon among us, I didn't have time to edit this week's episode, so you get to listen to us with all our verbal mistakes.  Hope it isn't too much of a strain.  I'll be back in the saddle again for next week.  Until this please enjoy this podcast as we move on to running adventures with steam punk.

This week we take a break from Bureau 13 revelation to talk about a very hot setting right now:  Steam Punk.  How to create the look and feel of steam punk in whatever game you play.

Please note that we decided that if...
