This is the Live episode we recorded on December 22nd, 2011.

For the broadcast, we had an extra Skype account logged into our conversation, which in turn broadcast the call out to Mixlr, which sent the audio live to the internet. The setup worked pretty well.

During this episode, we chat in the chat-room with listeners, and haul one of our long-time listeners ("Dark Canary" on the forums) into the conversation. We talk a little bit about Christmas, and a lot about why we changed our format from "The Modern Gaming Podcast".

Have a listen!

The shocuments were lost due to Libsyn being a total bitch, and Rob doesn't feel like re-writing them.

Players Options; Heroes of the Feywild, The Opening.

Rob spends some quality time with a package from Wizards of the Coast, inside which he finds a copy of "Players Options; Heroes of the Feywild". Come with us on this magical journey as he flips through the book for the first time, gets confused about what he's looking at, and eventually collapses on the ground in a drunken stupor, babbling on about faeiries and dump trucks.

Watch it here.
