Syndication

After a bit of technical frustration, Cam and I have managed to get this show out as scheduled, yay!

This is it, our Planescape special featuring Monte Cook! We put this one together as a retro-review and interview together, and as such, it's long, about an hour and a half. But I'm not apologizing for the length because it's chock-full of good stuff! At the end though, I did decide to cut the listener feedback segment, not because we don't want to hear what you have to say (We do! We do!) but because it would have pushed the show up near the 2-hour range. We'll bring it back next month for sure though! We do love and appreciate your feedback!

A few of my favorite Planescape links:

And some links to games mentioned in the show:

Dark Heresy

Godlike

All Flesh Must Be Eaten

Unknown Armies

I hate to say this but the file for one of the main segments of the show we recorded last Sunday was corrupted and rendered useless. After tearing my hair out for three hours trying to recover the file, I finally had to admit defeat. So, Cam and I are going to have to re-record it. If we can't do it this coming Sunday, it may be another week or two before our schedules merge again. I'm not happy at all to have to face another delay, especially with this particular episode.

At any rate, we both really want to get this episode out because it's all about one of our favorite RPG products - Planescape! We've got one of our famous retro-reviews of the setting, and a very special interview with Monte Cook, one of the contributors to the setting.

So please, I must beg everybody's patience as we re-record the lost segment. We've got some great material and we've just got to share it with you! We WILL get the whole show out to you as soon as possible!

 Cam and I have recorded our latest show, which I think turned out to be a really good one! I should probably have it cut and edited together by next Wednesday. Stay tuned!

"The unexamined life is not worth living."

Or so they say (whoever "they" are). Hah! Well, here's Show 3.2 and better late than never, and we don't mean to make this a habit. Sorry for the delay but Cam's schedule had to be served (and bills got to be paid so I'm sure y'all understand).

Anyway, this month we're taking a closer look at what's working for us at the table, and you should do so too! What's been working for you to create Awesome at your gaming table? Let us know!

The review of Unhallowed Metropolis I mentioned in the show can be found here. I wasn't super impressed but I wasn't totally unfavorable either. In short, nice setting, bland system.

Keep sending us your feedback and ideas for show topics, "Pimp My Campaign" segments, or whatever else turns your crank!

See you next month!

Just so you're not worried that we're going away again, Cam and I are recording our next show on March 9. We'd planned to do it on February 24 and then March 2, but Cam has unfortunately had to postpone for work related reasons. Please keep in mind that Cam's in Tokyo and I'm in San Francisco and there's a 17-hour difference, meaning that when I hit "record" at 6pm Sunday night, it's 11am on Monday for Cam, and he goes to work after we record.

Anyway, we're not going away again and not taking a break. It's just real-life intruding (as it often does). So, recording on the 9th and the new show should be up within a week after that!

See you soon!

The GGP is two years old! So, we're celebrating our birthday with our first show of the year! To kick things off, we have an interview (21:27) with Shane Ivey of Arc Dream Publishing. Shane tells us about his experience with Godlike, Arc Dream's "Ransom" method of financing their production, and their newest game, Monsters and Other Childish Things.

Plus listener feedback (03:05), What We're Playing (09:48), and our first shot at pimping someone's campaign (41:13)!

As always, please send us your comments, here, or at godzilla.gaming@gmail.com

Akemashite omedetou gozaimasu! (Happy New Year!)

Bolt Thrower!! ;-)

Thanks for the warm welcome back everyone! The last show was a lot of fun and Cam and I felt the groove once again!

We're recording our next show this weekend, and we have a special guest joining us for a short interview.

I should have it edited and posted about a week after that. Hope you7ll join us then!

Godzilla Never Dies!!

We're back and ready to roll! It's been a few months, but Cam and I have re-tooled the show. Nothing too drastic and you'll still get all the great stuff you know and love from good ol' Big G.

This month sees the kick-off of our new "Gaming J-Land" segment, in which we try to show some ways to bring the Land of the Rising Sun into your game; in this case, Japanese horror.

Ju-On (English title: The Grudge) is easily my favorite J-freak out (well, not counting Shinjuku station or the Saikyo line on Friday night). What's yours? And do let us know what you think of this segment. We won't do it every show, but if you have an idea for some sort of J-topic you'd like to see us address, do let us know!

And we're going to take a shot at the "Pimp My Campaign" idea. If you'd like us to chew over an idea of yours for a campaign, or you've got a campaign in progress and you'd like some feedback, drop us a line (though do try to keep it short - no 50-page setting bibles please!)

So, if you're still listening, thanks again! The Godzilla Gaming Podcast is back for another year!

Ah, I know those of you that check this page are wondering what in the world is going on with the show? I'll admit to a bit of flagging motivation of late. After the hard drive crash, Cam and I did record a show but as I was editing it, I realized that it just wasn't very good. We seemed to simply be going through the motions and not really finding the fire that animated us in previous shows.

So, Cam and I are going to look at re-vitalizing the show a bit. I think the main theme will not change - Cam and I talking about the games we play and how to get the most out of them. You may see some segments shortened or cut altogether though. I am also looking to cut the length down to one hour.

I would especially like to hear from you, our listeners, what you would like to hear us chew the fat about on-air. To be honest, we don't get a lot of email, maybe one or perhaps two messages per show. Please, send us your feedback! What shows and segments have you particularly enjoyed and which ones made you hit fast-forward? What sort of segments would you like to see us do? Do you like the reviews, and should we continue with them? Any feedback will be eagerly read and taken into consideration!

Hopefully, we can record again at the beginning of December, and present a new, and hopefully, improved Godzilla Gaming Podcast!

I'm sure all our loyal listeners out there are wondering when we'll have the next show up. Unfortunately, the hard drive on my laptop died and this is the machine I use to record and mix the show on. My older Mac (which I am typing this post on) can record, but when Cam and I tried this, the audio quality was so poor (Skype + not as much memory in this old Mac = crappy output) that we realized we would have to postpone the recording until I get my laptop fixed.

Hopefully, that will be very soon!

So, fear not, we're not going away! Once I get my laptop fixed we will record the next show as soon as we can!

Thanks to all our listeners for hanging with us! Stick around - we WILL be back!
