In Episode 18 the D6G crew puts on their brown coats and discuss the Serenity RPG in detail, after giving an overview of the concept of Role Playing Games for folks who've never had the pleasure of trying them. But that's not all. We also get to interview Jamie Chambers, of Margaret Weis Productions (yes, the Margaret Weis from Dragonlance). Jamie designed the Serenity RPG, and developed their upcoming Cortex game system, the same system used for their Battlestar Galactica RPG. We have a nice long chat with Jamie about how he got involed in the industry, what it's like to design these games, and what future products are coming out. All that and our usual 'not too horrible' humor, with features such as: Advertisers this episode: Links Mentioned this episode: Craig's Serenity Campaign Summary: Part I, Part II Owen's Website: www.OwenStaton.com Comments[0]

I was instantly hooked into miniature wargaming when, as a 12 year old boy, my family took my brother and meto Gettysburg, PA. While there we were in a store, and I saw a 3D terraintable with Confederate and Union Soldiers displayed on the board. I thought it was yet another diorama, but nooooo the shopkeep assured me it was in fact, wait for it, a miniature game. I was instantly hooked, although did not play my first miniature game until I met Craig and Russ and the gang in 1995ish. The game was 40k. Of course, having grown up on RPG's and Computer games goes without saying all the way back the Nintendo systems and D&D. And of course comics became a love of mine at the same time as D&D. Having collected all of the original Todd McFarlane comics, just 'cause I was a kid reading comics, is a proud achievement of mine.Now I try to insulate myself from the powerful mind force that Russ both consciously and unconsciously projects into my brain in regards to different games. I love collecting, modeling, painting and playing. I often say that for these reason, miniature wargaming is the perfect hobby for me. It lets me collect when I am in that mood, it lets me play and socialize when I am in that mood, and it lets me read and create when I am in that mood. Perfect! I am new to the MMO scene having started with LOTRO (Lord of the Rings Online), gravitated to WoW, and now am enjoying the freedom of WAR. (Warhammer Online). For the first time in my life, I will actually be playing PC games on a gaming Rig (DogHouse Systems). I also enjoy my xbox 360 and enjoy the stealth action adventure games the best, think Bioshock and Thief, and Splinter Cell before it went weird. I am generally a happy person who views the world as the glass is half full, and enjoy the different roles I have in life as: Friend, Lawyer, Husband, Father, Gamer, and Podcast Host.
