    Hey, I just listened–I think I actually blushed when the music from H&C starting playing (even though there was no one around but me)! Thanks again, guys.

    Dude!! Thanks for mentioning my city!! It’s a prefab.. but it’s still a module file.. so you can take a character in and walk around.. there are some fodder.. er.. people in the first couple areas.. not that they’ll do anything.. but you can walk around and talk to some of the extras.. and there are some stores to shop.. I guess what I’m saying is, “feel free to load it up and walk around.”… but if you ride a horse, you can’t dismount except by the stable at the hitching post..

    Say.. see if you can find the way into the sewers and storm drains.. and the back exit to the city… or maybe the balcony door to the Tavern.

    Hell.. kill some of the commoners.. just be gentle on the comments.. it is just a prefab.

    Thanks again.. and your episode is Top-notch as always.

    I’ve listen to 3/4 or more of the podcast, and it has been excellent (as usual). I am embarrassed to say I did not know much about Monty Markland prior so some emails exchanged with Michele earlier in this week. I am thrilled to learn that a member of the community has made the leap from making hobby to profession. Contraz to Mr. Markland. My hat is off to you.

    The interview with Maerduin was also excellent. I just finished playing the mod and it was in a word AMAZING. Perhaps the best gaming experience (not just mod) I have had in years. I’ve been raving about his mod and was happy to see him interviewed and gain a few nuggets of wisdom.

    The hosting….very entertaining as always. Keep the good stuff coming guys (and gal).

    Smooth as volcanic glass, obsidian. I really like Michele’s interviews as she is genuinely excited about the work of the interviewee. In this case Zach Holbrook. He made some allusions to what has kept him going in the production and hard work of making mods, and that was the love, i.e. appreciation you get from those who play your modules. So with Michele’s interview you get this reflection of that aspect of the creative endeavor, since you have both parts of the equation. Both the anima, and the animus, the lover and the beloved.
