My First Interview

I just finished doing an interview for The Amateur Traveler podcast, hosted by Chris Christensen. We had a very nice conversation for like 25-30 minutes on my trip to the Benelux last year. We talked about Brussels, Amsterdam, Brugge and Delft, as well as a little bit about visiting the Dutch countryside, which mirrors very well the shows I’ve been doing on the same area on my show. It was weird being interviewed, if only because at first, you are very much aware that you are being recorded. A few minutes into it, I totally forgot about it and was just chatting about travel. It was a good preparation for when I do my own interviews.

I’ll let you know when that episode gets posted to the Amateur Traveler feed; I’m thinking it will be a couple of weeks.

Thanks, Chris, for the opportunity.  :-)

Episode 06 - Delft & the Dutch Countryside

Episode 06 of The Gamer Traveler Podcast is now available. In Episode 06 of The Gamer Traveler we visit the quaint city of Delft, once a seat of kings and hub of one of the greatests economic empires of the Renaissance, home to inventors and master artists, and source of the world-renowned Delftware pottery. After Delft, we take a trip to the beautiful Dutch countryside and see windmills, flower fields and a living history museum. See the full show notes and links here.

Problems with iTunes

Folks, the iTunes listing for The Gamer Traveler has been experiencing problems for some time now (actually, since Episode 02), showing that there has been no updates or new episodes since back in March. For a while, if you subscribed, you would still get the new episodes as they were posted, but now I’ve gotten reports that even that is failing.

I have been given a couple of possible solutions to the problem which I am going to try in the next week or so. One of them involves significantly shorter show notes attached to the media file, as opposed to the lengthy links-fests I tend to do now. I will still provide the longer show notes as extra info here on the site, and provide a link to “More Info” on the shorter, concise show notes that go out with an episode. Hopefully that will take care of the problem.

My apologies for these issues, I hope to have them resolved very soon.

I also hope to get a moment to finish Episode 06 in the next week or so; I’ve been swamped with other projects, but it’s been too long and I itch to talk Travel again.

Liber Sodalitas: The Dream Healers Now Available

Highmoon Media Productions is proud to present Liber Sodalitas: The Dream Healers.

Though often seen as a priestly order, the dream healers follow no set god. For them, the power of healing lies within the patient and their dreams. Able to enter another’s dreams, they guide their patients through past events, allowing them to relive them and heal many wounds that other healers cannot touch. The journey is not without risk, for the world within a dream becomes a new reality, and death there comes just as easily as in the waking world.

The Dream Healers is a 9-page ebook detailing a drop-in organization for your d20 Fantasy game, complete with history, tenets, organizational structures, ways of joining, and ready-to-use NPCs. It also includes the dream healer prestige class and two new magical items.
