Today the ENnie, Tomorrow the Parsec!

I've just found out that All Games Considered is now a finalist for the 2009 Best Gaming Podcast Parsec Award. I can't tell you how much of a thrill it is to be so recognized in a single year, and we're looking forward to seeing what happens. I don't know if any of the crew will be at Dragon*Con this year for the ceremony, so we'll have to see what happens there. This has been a great year for AGC, and even if we don't win, the nominations must mean we're doing something right at last.

The Parsec Awards, though, were founded by Mur Lafferty, Michael R. Mennenga, and Tracy Hickman back in, oh, 2006 I think, to recognize excellence in speculative fiction podcasting.

Our fellow finalists are:
Brilliant Gameologists (I swear, these guys are our nemeses or something! ;) )
City of Heroes Podcast
The Game Kennel
The Podge Cast

Congratulations to all! You can find all the finalists for 2009 here!

ENnie Polls Are Open!

The ENnie Award polls are now open until August 1st. Please be sure to remember us when you cast your vote, and thank you!

Go vote here!

Mark decides to go into Age of Cthulhu: Death at Luxor. Ben went to Origins and picked up Hackmaster Basic. Reminiscing about HackMaster (and Mark makes a small misstatement).

The apocalypic angle on Forgotten Heroes, and a glance at Blackdirge's Dungeon Denizens. Feedback, including a nifty pun!

AGC 106 June 30 2009 (Your Cheating Heart) (1:17:17)

With Mark Kinney, Carol, Mags, and Steve. Mark goes into a little more detail on HyperiCon and shows the panel his copy of Personal Effects. Carol talks about Living Labyrinth. What is cheating, and why would someone cheat? "Allowed" cheating in Illuminati and Kill Puppies For Satan. GM cheating and "fudging." How do you confront cheating at the table? Cheating methodologies. Point fudging. Fun with movement. Hidden resources. Notes and knowledge. Cheating with cards, from shuffles to messing with the draw. A trivial aside on card counting and various accounts of the MIT Blackjack Team. Dice rolling methods. Hard to read dice. Non-standard and weighted dice. Would you believe microwaved? (And how about a Mythbu... er, we mean Legend Smashing episode?) Mark brings up Wolfram Alpha, and throws a shout out to Kicked in The Dicebags. It's time to get us back in the spotlight, listeners!
