Epoch Iteration 16 - Running and Screaming and Giant Frogs

For the first time, we have a guest on an Epoch Iteration! Author Eden Royce returns to talk about her upcoming novella release, Containment 2: Unleashed, a good portion of which takes place in our own Hell Noir setting. She also reads an excerpt from the book! In addition, we talk a bit about RPGs (as usual) and recent losses in the worlds of sci-fi and fantasy entertainment.

We may not have made it to GenCon, but we *will* be at Dragon*Con! We touch a bit on that, recent feedback, upcoming episodes, World of Warcraft, The Dark Knight Rises and more!

UPDATE - HERE is the worksheet I (Jim) use to track information as an episode progresses. (Sorry about the delay in getting it up here - PDFCreator conked out on me and I didn't have a chance to redo it until after Dragon*Con.)
