    Things of Which We Speak
    Sit back and listen to us play, then redesign an entirely new game.

    Kirin got his Ennie due to the awesomeness of Old School Hack. Go bask in that awesome. Bask, I say!

    We mention Guestbook from Machine Age Productions.

    Also, I give an idea of what I'm working on with Centurion. Maybe not as cool as the Five Minute RPG, but not bad.

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!

Have any questions for us? Contact us on Google +, at rob@accidentalsurvivors.com, chris@accidentalsurvivors.com, fraser@accidentalsurvivors.com or on Twitter by using @accsurvpodcast.

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.
