Happy Holidays to all of our wonderful listeners!

Be sure to check out all of the great deals at RPGNow.com, especially if you’re looking for some of that Reverse Dungeon goodness (thanks Nor’Morgwae)!
In the feature this week, we took our listeners advice and actually start creating a new world which will ultimately be the default world for CORE! It’s a fun and lively discussion, and we think we’ve got some interesting ideas brewing…

And now… the news:

• New RPG podcast, and the only all-Hebrew RPG podcast - Hamishakia
• Justinthebig has a new podcast - All Things Medieval. Way to go Justin!
• Arriving with little to no fanfare, the Dragonlance DVD “Dragon’s of Autumn Twilight” is available for purchase
• We hate to report it, but Erik Wujcik is dying of cancer…

Wow! How the time gets away from you at the holidays. We’ve actually had this recorded for a couple of weeks, and edited for about a week. I’m such a slacker. So think of it as a great way to start the new year!

Once again, we have to give a huge thanks to our sponsor, RPGNow.com. These guys have always had the best selection and price and digital (and occasionally print) RPG products.
In the feature this week, we take a break from the Campaign Creation series and do a segment on bards.

[NEWS]

• Along the lines of our Legend of the Green Dragon, here’s another old favorite: Hack n’ Slash.
• History mentioned that Australian’s are more American than Americans. According to Pete, here’s funny proof that Australian’s wouldn’t take that as a compliment!
• Chuck got interviewed for an article that appeared in our local paper. And you thought we could talk!
• Jim in Buffalo pointed us to a hilarious spoof on the Chick Tracts.
