Minor complaint (for episode 35)
This is about episode 35, which I can't seem to comment on.
Really enjoy listening to you guys chatter about D&D. I don't get to play as much as I'd like and it's fun to hear talk about it ;)
That being said I'd like to ask one of you to listen to episode 35 and listen to Rob. Count how many times he says "uh" and "aah". It's gotta be close to 200 if not more. I realize everyone does it now and then to regroup on a discussion but wow, it got so destracting.
On the topic of the new setting for 2011. I'd love to see Dragonlance... someone said it's to "strange" to fit but they just did Darksun, you can't get much "weirder" than that when compared to normal D&D campaigns. I'm sure there are some good classes they could bring also, like the Death Knight, wasn't that DL? And who doesn't love a Kender ;)
Oriental Adventures would be great to. I'd love to see the level of detail they had in that book for monks attacks. It was great making your own "style".
Keep up the podcasting!
Quick ENnies comment
Greetings!
Just a quick comment on the ENnies, since you mentioned them in your podcast: when you submit something (like a podcast) to the ENnies, the judges review it (along with every other item in that category) and then create a list of their nominations. Those nominations then go on to an open, public vote by the RPG community. The judges don't pick the winners, per se.
Just wanted to pass that along. Thanks for submitting your podcast and good luck!

2010 ENnies Judge
PS: Sorry I don't know all your names, but to the gentleman that mentioned X-Wing as one of his favorite PC games when he was younger: Mine too. I was in college and playing X-Wing on a friend's PC actually prompted my to buy my first (a 386sx w/ 4 MG of RAM). Interestingly enough, I've almost completed a full replay of X-Wing and the expansion packs. I think I have about 10 missions left from B-Wing to complete. You might still be able to find the X-Wing Collector's Edition game (I mean, that version is only about 12 years old now) and I've been able to run it on WinXP in Win95 emulation mode.
At least 60 publishers ect. with third party 4E product
I belive I heard on the podcast about the lack of 3rd party support for 4E. That is a complete fallacy. I have been slacking but I was keeping up this page of 4E 3rd party products. There are at least 60 different companies putting out 4E 3rd party product!

BTW - Lack of Notice of 4E 3rd Products - One of My Pet Peeves
Yup! No one ever talks about 4E 3rd party products. You should have the Warden (Todd Crapper) on your show. He runs Emerald Press. He is probable the biggest 3rd party publisher promoter today.
Try contacting him on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/people/Todd-Crapper/655225504 Thanks.
