    Hat tip to John Taylor Williams for linking to this one in twitter – “What Made for a Successful D&D Birthday Party” from the blog “The Mule Abides” as he explains how he successfully shared Dungeons and Dragons with 8 and 9 year olds at his sons’ birthday party. He’s now started a company hosting these parties in the NYC area. You can email tavis@adventuringparties.com for information on hiring his service.

We have audio from Paulette Jaxton on her newly released novel, Empress Sword. Available for purchase from Barnes and Noble and Amazon.com.


Episode 47 – BlenderCon 2010

Summery comes to a close, well at least as far as school and such are concerned. Con Season is also winding down and we continue the third year of our “BlenderCon” tradition.

Things we mention include:

Sci-Fi Fantasy Prom Promo 1

Event: Sci-Fi / Fantasy Prom
Location: Balticon 44 at the Hunt Valley Marriot, Derby Room
When: Saturday, May 29 starting at 11:00pm (2300 hrs)
Duration: Scheduled for 3:00 hours

Prom the way *we* want it

This is the prom where geeks rule, and freak flags fly. The only prom around with costumes and prizes so come as your favorite fantasy or sci-fi character. Don’t have a partner? Throw on an undershirt and bring a toaster – bam, you’re Chief Tyroll!

Music will be DJ’d by Tee Morris, and Podcasting’s Rich Sigfrit is the Master of Ceremonies.

Feel free to spread the promo far and wide and add to your podcast!

Thanks to Paulette Jaxton for lending her voice

Episode 35 – Social Butterflies

We’ve been little social butterflies over the last few weeks. We’ve driven through many states to eat many forms of cake (birthday, cheese, and cup) and had a generally wonderful time catching up with friends and family!

In this episode we discuss:

Balticon43 Techno

I wrote this song to highlight Balticon 43, our New Media Party as well as some great podcast and web comic creators. Enjoy!

Oh and feel free to include it in your own show if you’re a podcaster 🙂

Episode 5 – Game and Movie sites for parents

This week we talk about some game and movie resources for parents that give in-depth reviews and ratings of content. Much better than the minimal (and usually inaccurate) info that the MPAA, RIAA, and ESRB give.

We didn’t discuss This Film Is Not Yet Rated in the episode, but we watched it recently, and highly recommend it- especially as a parent. It will greatly open your eyes to the shortcomings of the MPAA film ratings process!!

Items Covered include:
