Feel free to check out my blog, where I attempt to unravel the mysteries of geek culture and then cover them back up with something equally inexplicable.

PHB2 Release Audio Short # 3 This is the third and final short I recorded for the Player's Handbook 2 release on D&D Game Day.  My intention was to set the situation for each of the sketches in three of the most "cliche" locations for an adventuring party to meet: at an adventurer's guild, at an inn, and in a dungeon cell.  All three of these shorts played on War Pig Radio on that day and I remember desperately trying to bulldoze my way through them to get them all done in the week leading up to it.  Harrowing, but lots of fun!
