I was actually looking for a poker podcast about a week before this aired, which was coincidental since Ihappen to know one of the participants.

Looks like it was yesterday. Whatevs.

Blaine just tweeted: "scheduling problems last week...recording new episodes later today OH SHIT THOSE COPS ARE LOOKING AT US BE COOL"

Take it from someone who plays a lot of poker - there are two jokers in a deck.

Bruce Willis/Sark is the best.

I think he mentioned Utah once. I could be wrong. I know there were references to growing up Mormon.

Actually that's not it. It's on the main episode page in the episode photos: http://www.earwolf.com/episode/change-of-scenery/

A couple of reasons - money, for one. They can't sell you new books if they don't make them, and you can only expland an existing ruleset so far. That said, they used to crank out good modules constantly for 1st and 2nd Editions, but have gotten away from that (and most of the ones produced for 4th are boring). The main reason though is they know they screwed up with 4th Edition by trying to make it more like WoW. Instead of taking the good from 1st, 2nd and 3rd they made it a whole different game. Hopefully Next fixes that.

I played first edition exclusively from middle school through college, then lost having a group. I never moved to 2nd because TSR cowered to parents groups and removed all things demonic or devilish. I started playing 4th last year.. while I am not as big a fan of the game mechanics, the character builder and apps I can use on my iPad have proven invaluable. It also made it easier for our less-experienced players to create their characters. I'm evaluating Next right now.

Contact Earwolf support - they may let you donate the difference. FWIW I donated in August and got my shout out today.

Sorry, double post.

It *is* Gerry, doing kind of a "dumb guy" voice.

He's a familiar, so essentially, yes. They can be destroyed but they will re-appear.
