Tim and I interview each other back and forth and chat about travel, culture, games and the chances of having two separate podcasts about gaming and travel! I had a blast chatting with Tim and you should totally check out Dice + Food + Lodging.  The Gamer Traveler Blogcast Episode 15 - Dice + Food + Lodging [36:16] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download
In this episode, I chat with Greg Schuster, who lives in Yamanashi, Japan. I had made plans to talk to Greg, and then the 9.0 earthquake and tsunami hit Japan. We still managed to chat but suddenly it was all the more topical and relevant. I hope you enjoy this episode.

It worked and over the years I have certainly enjoyed doing the podcast and then the blog posts when time to record became an issue. The thing is, as you can clearly see if you look at the gaps in time between posts, it isn’t something I am doing a lot lately (and by lately I mean the last couple of years). It is a simple fact that the niche I cover is a very small one, so there won’t be news of interest to report and talk about all the time, but even so, I find that time to dedicate to this project is the biggest problem. A very practical solution would be to simply say thank you for your support and hang up the hat, but I’ll be honest, I don’t want to do that. Though I do it rarely, I enjoy working on The Gamer Traveler. I am proud of the unique angle on gaming it has and it is something I would like to continue doing. Selfish statement said, the reality is that by myself, it will continue to be a sporadically-updating project. Would getting contributors be a possibility? I know I have two friends who have written posts that I could drop into The Gamer Traveler without a problem as they fit the format perfectly. Perhaps doing that on a semi-regular basis would be the way to go? Would there be people out there interested in exploring the crossroads between Travel & Games along with me? What do you think? I’m thinking out loud here and would appreciate the feedback.
In 2009, I reported that game designer Keith Baker set out to travel the world exchanging hospitality for gaming. He chronicled his adventures somewhat infrequently in his blog, but always with the promise that he was working on a larger project which he called “Have Dice, Will Travel.” Keith’s project has now reached fruition and “Have Dice, Will Travel” can be found as a column at The Escapist web magazine. As of this writing, Keith has published two articles, one on his stay in Košice, Poland and another on his stay in Boise, Idaho. The articles give a snapshot view of the gamers Keith met in these locations and are both interesting in seeing a glimpse of how gamers around the world are both different yet essentially the same. I look forward to Keith’s series and I hope you’ll check it out as well.
Note: Sorry for the audio quality during the interview. I had to get all MacGyver on that file in order to extract it from the recorder I used, which in turn required I got even more inventive in getting it to sound the best I could.
