The podcast gang and my regular Fringeworthy group recorded this last summer. It includes John Reiher, Jay Hailey, John Altizer, Ken Arrondee, Erik Sheffer, and Bruce Sheffer as the GM. We did have some mike dropout problems and for some reason skype recorder compressed JR and JH by 15% which had to be fixed. However, overall I'm very pleased with this AP episode simply because it showed what I think are some of the best aspects of FW play. Please comment on the episode and let me know specifically what you liked and didn't like about the adventure design.

This week Blix hijacks the show and takes it to TotalCon. Enjoy this live recording with Blix as your MC and his three guest hosts: Jay Libby, James Carpio, and John Sussenburger. The show was recorded live before an audience and tackles inter-dimensional gaming. Being that my co-hosts, who are all games designers, have never played Fringeworthy, we spoke about inter-dimensional gaming in a broad general sense. This was a lot of fun and I think you'll pull some good info and a lot of laughs from this episode. Enjoy!
