We also touch on the subject of gamers cheating.       Archon Bonus Episode 1 (click <a href="http://sidetangent.com/Podcasts/Gamerstable_Bonus_Archon_35A.mp3" target="_blank">here</a> to listen)  [FONT=&quot]We had the pleasure of attending Archon 35. Archon is the St. Louis area’s annual science-fiction, fantasy,  anime and roleplaying game convention. In reality, it is just one giant party.[/FONT]  [FONT=&quot][/FONT][FONT=&quot]We were given tables in the main entry hall and allowed to record our interactions with the con-goers. [/FONT]  [FONT=&quot][/FONT][FONT=&quot]This is the first installment of a two-part recording session. In this episode we attempt to stay topical, but as you will hear it was not easy.[/FONT]       Episode 26  Leadership (click <a href="http://sidetangent.com/Podcasts/Gamerstable_Episode_026.mp3" target="_blank">here</a> to listen)  [FONT=&quot]One of the intangibles of gaming is the concept of leadership. It can be a strong leader-type character or role, but it can also be important away from the table… in the gaming group itself.[/FONT]  [FONT=&quot] This episode we talk about the importance of leadership in tabletop roleplaying games.[/FONT]  <a href="http://sidetangent.com/Podcasts/Gamerstable_Episode_026.mp3" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://sidetangent.com/Podcasts/Gamerstable_Episode_026.mp3" target="_blank"></a>           Episode 27 Character Creation: Low Level vs. High (click <a href="http://sidetangent.com/Podcasts/Gamerstable_Episode_027.mp3" target="_blank">here</a> to listen)  [FONT=&quot]Something we used to do a lot was create characters of advanced level, but we stopped and now almost exclusively make entry-level characters and go from there.[/FONT]  [FONT=&quot][/FONT][FONT=&quot] Is there a reason to make a more advanced character? Are the lower levels more important because they are the formative, character developing levels that set the stage for the character’s career?[/FONT]  [FONT=&quot][/FONT][FONT=&quot] This episode we take a look at this trend of ours and weigh its merit.[/FONT]  [FONT=&quot][/FONT]     Episode 28 World of Darkness (click <a href="http://sidetangent.com/Podcasts/Gamerstable_Episode_028.mp3" target="_blank">here</a> to listen)  [FONT=&quot]In the early 1990’s a publisher named White Wolf created a campaign world called the World of Darkness. This setting, and the games in it like Vampire the Masquerade and Werewolf the Apocalypse, became a mainstay for gamers that were tired of the passé and people who were new to gaming that wanted something that they could grasp on to.[/FONT]  [FONT=&quot][/FONT][FONT=&quot] We talk about this setting, the games incorporated in it, the company that produced it and the fans that turned on it.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]If you like what you hear, check out our website<a href="http://www.gamerstable.com" target="_blank"> here</a>.[/FONT]</blockquote>
