Show Notes for Special Episode 01 of The Gamer Traveler:

Note: This special episode is completely dedicated to a gaming topic and has nothing to do with travel. If you are one of my non-gamer subscribers/listeners you can safely skip this episode and not miss anything. The next regular episode of The Gamer Traveler will be out in the next 2-3 days.

On April 19, 07 the press release came out that Wizards of the Coast had decided not to renew Paizo Publishing’s license to produce DRAGON and DUNGEON Magazines, two staples of the gaming industry for the last three decades. The announcement has come as a surprise to gamers everywhere, most of whom have fond memories of these magazines as they relate to their gaming lives.

In this special episode, I talk about my thoughts on the announcement, fond memories revolving around these magazines, and talk a little about what may come as a result of these changes, indulging in a little bit of Gaming Industry punditry.

(Note: Originally, Inside Track #18 was an interview with Phil Lacefield Jr. and it was released the day after the press releases hit the streets. Apparently there was an issue with something said during the interview that prompted the episode to be taken down and later be replaced with the current episode with Joshua Frost.)
