Hard to believe that May got by us so quickly but there you have it. This June, we are working to get back on track with things because, let’s be honest — we’re not podcasting as much because we are launching new projects. So you might want to take notes as we have a LOT to talk about.

Comments Off on Episode #86: Looking Ahead to 2018
So with January behind us, you might have thought, we intended to take a break.
No, we didn’t.
After a rather rough start to the year, we’re coming back—baby steps, mind you—into posting on a regular basis. We got a lot of stuff planned for you in February, but let’s ease back into our podcast with a look back at a panel at one of Tee’s favorite events…
00:00 — Introduction
As we have said before, we are twelve years old…
Where were we in January? This blog post sums up the month.
New show coming, but right now it’s a Shared Desk from MAGFest 2017!
Nick Kelly, author
Robert V. Aldrich, author
The topic? Storytelling in Gaming!
Major props to the MAGFest A/V Team!
Want to hear Nick and Tee riff about MAGFest? Stay tuned next week for a special syndicated episode of the Geek Wolfpack Podcast…
