Great interview guys! Pity they don’t seem to have a Community mod friday dedicated to playing !
Well done to the contest winners!

That was a very good interview. Congrats to the Area Design Contest winners. I will have to download them and try get some hints on area design from them.
Looking forward to the next interview, hopefully Michele will not pee in her pants.

I would not be surprised if Trey is missing after his choice of bloopers this week….
“Goes to Lowe’s to buy a large shovel”
Thank you Rob & Matt for an awesome interview. Thank you Trey for for the great team work doing the interview and show.

I am listening now and am greatly enjoying the interview. Kudos to Rob McGinnis & Matt Rorie for doing the interview. Many thanks to the podcast team for pulling this interview off and THANK YOU for asking some of my questions. I was totally stoked to hear them asked. I was cheering wildly at my office mate!

Great Podcast gang. Pass some of those cookies this way…

Ernie - Your quite welcome. I wish we had more time to add more community questions. I got what I could with the amount of time allowed.

Good questions on em. Was very happy to hear them comment on DMing and PW’s with NWN2. I hope Obsidian joins more and more NWN Podcasts.

Hi everyone!
Thanks to Liso and Trey for having us on the show. It was a lot of fun. When things calm down for us, we may be able to do more for the NWN Podcast.
Eat2Surf: We really liked your module. I loved the originality of it. It was a tough choice for us.

A real coup getting Rob on the podcast, Congratulations. I must say I have the utmost respect for him, and this is a bit weird, but it is because he has put up with so much BS from fans over the years.
Posted on May 16th, 2008 at 3:16 pm
Thanks for the compliment, Rob! And thanks for bein’ on the show!! Here’s hoping that I get to share interview honors when things calm down on your end *grin*

Whoa!!! And we got Rob here in our comments!!! Thanks Rob and Matt for being on the show!! Yes we would love to have you on more! Jay and I were just talking about some ideas today at lunch. I’ll try PMing you or find you IRC to see what you think. Thanks again!!!
*runs and hides from Michele

No Pocket Lint Lair and Naval Lint questions?! That’s so wrong.
Incidentally, I didn’t get the “names” of the contest winners. May we have them plz, in writing?

Btw is Black “Wolf” not Woof, Michele.
Posted on May 17th, 2008 at 6:43 am
ffbj I have no idea what your talking about? wolf vs woof? huh?
Posted on May 17th, 2008 at 10:23 am
He’s talkin’ ’bout when you said “Wuf” instead of Wolf.
Don’t worry.. we knew what you were talking about.
Posted on May 17th, 2008 at 2:36 pm
LOL oh well. it would not be NWNP with out some pronunciation bloopers!
Posted on May 17th, 2008 at 5:08 pm
A possible suggestion for a future podcast would be from the scripting perspective. Sir Elric, now with Ossian, Cereborn, or Axe Murderer, come to mind.
Posted on May 18th, 2008 at 7:58 am
I have to admit, I think deep down inside I expected Rob to sound suspiciously like the guy who did the end-of-game narration in the base OC…
