The game is called Fickle and the Kickstarter ends in a few days. So we wanted to get him on the microphone

Today we have Sean Nittner the person that puts on BigBadCon in the Bay Area. We wanted to get Sean to talk to us because BigBadCon is not a typical game con. It has a different heart that other cons. They all have their own character and BigBadCon is known for the great RPGs and LARPs. In the last few years they have added Boardgames, and Panels to BigBadCon. Though most of the people that attend are from the San Francisco Bay Area there are quite a few that come from all over the U.S

First of all I want to apologize for the lateness of this episode. Technical difficulties prevented us from post these right after recording. And even before we left for Kublacon our podcast computer died. What I thought was a bad or corrupted boot file was worse. So it taken a bit longer to get these episodes published. We also recorded longer than our normal 30 minutes and the episodes area about an hour and a half long. So I will be including a bit more detailed show

And at times to be able to move the story forward you can't RP as much as you like. Or there are elements about your character that you don't want to hog up all the time talking about your character
