I am updating the show notes with all the links promised in the show right now. That was my error, each news items was supposed to link to the source info. Should be fixed in 1/2 hour but here is the dust link with some previews pics and the link to the main dust site. http://samuraigunslinger.com/2008/05/27/dust-tactics-to-use-at-43-rules-system/ http://www.dust-game.com/en/ Thanks Scalpel!

The comedy is something that I have a hard time with, im not a naturally funny guy but I will see if we can maybe add a short segment with a more light hearted topic and or question in the middle to lighten things up. I was surprised by how long the news section went, more that so many people had comments on the news items so I will probably focus on fewer items to allow for the conversation to go naturally without having the show drag. Again I cant thank everyone enough for the positive feedback, every comment helps us to make the show better going forward. Thanks so much for the positive feedback everyone!

A solid start. I liked the roundtable discussion portions and it seemed to run fairly smoothly with everyone getting their POV in without it seeming like herding cats. It was also interesting listening to their various views on the topics of discussion. Held my interest. I agree that a little more comedy would liven things up but finding the right balance can be tricky and may depend on the chemistry between the guests. That said, there were some funny moments -- the nerd ladder and the comments about 14 year old boys and Dust. Sound was pretty good overall with a few glitches and that pinging echo sound from time-to-time. It was not enough to detract from my enjoyment although sometimes it was hard hearing the Podhammer guy from Australia. That may have been a function of distance more than anything else. The only other suggestion would be to shorten the news section up. That dragged a little (IMO) with everyone commenting on every news item. If you are going to use the roundtable format in the future you might want to hit on a few less news items for discussion. An enjoyable first episode and I'm looking forward to more.

Love the different points of views. Very cut and dry, I know it's hard to moderate so many people but maybe try one or two things to make it lighter. Such as some rediculous questions to inspire some comedy. again keep it up Great podcast, can’t wait for the next one.
