This is Shadowrun

Gary Gygax, co-founder of D&D and pretty much the founder of Role-Playing Games in general died today.  I’d just like to take a brief moment to give tribute to a man who gave so much to us all.  Without Mr. Gygax there would be no D&D, no Final Fantasy, and no Shadowrun.  And this podcast certianly would not exists.  My life, and those of my friends, would be a much emptier place.

We all stand on the shoulders of giants.  But Mr. Gygax stands taller than most.  I salute you sir, and give you my thanks.

Bad news for those of you who look forward to our weekly podcast.  I suffered a recorder malfuction late into last night’s (Monday 2/18/08) game, which render the recording unusable.  Which is a bummer because last nights game was pretty good, if unusual.  In fact we didn’t run Shadowrun at all, but instead tried out the new WH40K RPG, Dark Heresy.  It was pretty fun, and good for a change of pace.  We tend to take short breaks like this from time to time.  As even Shadowrun gets old after a half-year or so (or at least it does to us).

So instead of the usual podcast updates I’ll focus on updating the site (such as it is) with more details on the remaining players (Aron), the GM (me Austin), and some other stuff.  If there was something you were curious about in terms of our campaign and wanted to know more about, this would be a good time to let me know.  Post a comment here or at dumpshock, PM me, or even e-mail me (MaxMahem@cablone.net).  I’ll try and fill in all the gaps this week.  Next Mondays run should be on as scheduled.  Tune in then!
