Once again I apologize for the delay of Show 9. I was sick last week and coming off the finale of our 2300AD game last Sunday, I was a mess on Monday, our usual recording day.

But fear not, Cam and I are recording Show 9 next Monday (10/2), which will have a definite Japan theme to it. Stay tuned!

Okay, here are the submissions for our logo contest. The first one on the top left is from David Erickson - "Rising D20" (these are all my own nicknames for the logos). The next one on the right is from Troy Holaday - "Munching". Bottom row left is from Stan! - "Fire Belch", and bottom row right is from Robert Mills - "Rubber Suit."

I think all of them look utterly awesome! And no matter which one gets chosen, I have to say I like them all!

So, please send your votes to godzilla.gaming@gmail.com or leave a message right here on the blog!

First, I’ve just started mixing the show with Garage Band, so I apologize for any sound weirdness or volume spikes in advance – I’m still learning how to use it.

Wow! Lots going on last month!

Hopefully the blog here will display the logo submissions we got (I’ll put them in a separate post). I’m sorry I don’t have forums or polls or anything set up (I would if I knew how to do it) so this is the cheap and dirty method. Choose the one you like best and send us an email or leave a message here on the blog. I’ve given each one a nickname – Rising Sun D20, Munching, Fire Belch, and Rubber Suit – I hope you can see which pics they refer to. Looking forward to seeing which one comes out on top!

KevCon was awesome! I played Space Hulk, Arkham Horror, and as I mentioned in the show, Fury of Dracula. Check it out if you haven’t seen it yet!

And what’s up with this Panty Explosion game? All I can say is the thought of a bunch of sweaty 30-something male gamers pretending to be Japanese high-school girls kinda sends shivers down my spine. Still the game looks pretty interesting (if a bit pervy)…

Want to publish your own game? Think you have what it takes? Have a look at 1KM1KT and try the Game Chef contest sometime. And you can download lots of cool little RPGs (that may someday become big ones?)

Homo Sausage, as my lovely wife informs me, is not actually made of pork or beef remains, but is actually processed fish (the link is to the Japanese manufacturer's website). I couldn’t figure out the etymological source for the name, but again, Emi enlightened me – “Homo� comes from “Homogenized.� I shoulda known. Want some?

The “double helix� Vampire/Hunter campaign actual play thread for the game we discussed in the show is here. I really think it was one of the best roleplaying campaigns I've ever been in. It’s very long, and if anyone manages to read through the whole thing, we’d love to hear your thoughts on it.

The Shab al-Hiri Roach rocks on toast, and is the brainchild of Jason Morningstar, who is also a member of The Durham Three Podcast, which is an excellent show, and they say more about gaming in 15 minutes than most gamers do all day. Definitely check them out! You can also download the beta version of the 'Roach here.

Until next month, good gaming!
