Midnight's Lair

Here is Episode 3 people!! I really hope you enjoy it as we had a blast bringing it you.

In this Episode we cover Some Industry News including some information on a local Montreal Convention RoyalCon, User Feedback.

The Main Event is about how to Run a better Game.

We also have a new feature, Interviews with GM’s of successful long term campaigns were calling “Other Peoples Games”.

We also wrap up on some of the neat stuff we found at GenCon in the Review Corner / Hidden Treasures Segment, and of course we have the very popular “Cruel Humour”.

The Show Notes will follow as soon as Luc can figure out how to post them to the Blog!!

Also we invested in some better recording equipment for use in the Lair Studios, so you may notice a change in the sound of the show. There appears to be a slight background hum, but I think I have isolated the source, so it should be less noticable in the future!

As always feedback of any kind is greatly appreciated!
