My step-son and I attended Fear the Con 5, hosted by Fear the Boot,  which was a fantastic experience.  We had not registered for any games but that community is one of the best in gaming, they made sure that we were involved in something entertaining during every block. I will delve into this experience a little deeper at a later date, however, I wanted to announce that their latest episode (Episode 266 – Vivid Storytelling) is posted.  This episode was recorded live at the convention, and I was able make a comment on air about their topic….  Ok, so it’s more like being a scene extra than a cameo, but I’m still stoked!

Notes

This topic may have been too big to tackle with one episode.  Perhaps a little later we will break this down into a couple of episodes and discuss each of the mediums more deeply.  That should allow us to give more advice on the individual mediums.  Live and learn… please post comments on the forums or send an e-mail with your thoughts.
