PORT OF CALL: Gencon Indy 2010 Convention Live!
Felicia Day and Tracy Hickman ... isn't Gencon fun?
Our live edition of DragonHearth recorded as it happened at the Gencon Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana the afternoon of August 6th. I am joined by Howard Tayler of Schlock Mercenary and XDM fame as well as our own Laura Hickman as we take questions from the audience and enjoy our time together.
Most definitely NOT featured in our live podcast presentation but nevertheless a memorable and delightful time for me was meeting Felicia Day, star of ‘Dr. Horrible’s Sing-a-long Blog’ and ‘The Guild.’ She is among the three nicest people I have ever met and her consideration and generosity impressed me greatly.
And, in as much as I am such a fan of her work that I actually SANG part of ‘Dr. Horrible’ at Killer Breakfast this year — I just had to put the picture of us together here and brag about meeting her.

DRAGONSBARD: Eventide Chapter 4 Reading
As we have been preparing for the Gencon Game Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana, we thought we would share with you a sample chapter from our Dragon’s Bard Eventide project. This is chapter 4 entitled ‘The Millinery and the Pixies’ — read largely by Laura — and we both hope you’ll enjoy it. This chapter introduces us to Melinda Oakman, the town millinery and her trials not only at creating a ‘quest hat’ for Jarod Klum but in dealing with some most unlikely — and unwelcome — house guests.
Our next podcast will be from the Gencon Game Convention in about two weeks. We hope you’ll join us there!
