Hi Thom,

Two things of note: Luke doesn’t talk about projects he’s working on, and Luke isn’t talking about UaSS going missing….

I'm really enjoying it, I might add... I'd really, really like to get a hold of UaSS in pdf, but I can't find it anywhere. The link posted here doesn't work and it's the same with forums I've checked out. Keep up the good work and perhaps I'll catch up with your more recent episodes soon.

Luke sounds like the sort of fellow who you'd like to buy a pint (of beer) down the pub. Am working my backwards from Ron E. to the start and this one actually made me laugh out loud.

It's what I would have liked to do, but I don't have the resources friend-wise to draw on locally. I think going back and improving the sound quality will help, and working on a way not to be so dry. I think if I can bring my passion to my voice it will be more interesting. Like listening to Paul Tevises Have Games Will Travel minus his rich speaking voice. I'll be rerecording some of the original episodes soon, and posting about it here. If you get a chance, after the rerecording happens, I'd love to hear how you think they compare. Hi Guido,

They have been useful mainly by knowing you understand them the same way I do. I´m not a complete newbie to the theory though. I know what your objective is and I think you are very clear explaining those concepts. I´m glad someone is doing this. Trying to explain them "in English." I just think that the monologue about theory is boring per se. Just as reading the essays are too!! I think there is a way of explaining this in a newbie friendly way (just what you are doing) but in a more entertaining way too. I don´t know how to, so I cannot point you in the right direction. Just a suggestion, seeing how good you do the interviewing thing. I think it would be cool to actually explain the theory to someone live. The other person could ask questions that arise maybe, and you´d get that conversation dynamics I like so much about the last shows. Just a silly suggestion. Cheers!

I'm curious. You say you've been listening to the shows but find them boring. I can see what you are saying, I'm not happy with them either. In fact I'm planning to rerecord them. What I'd like to know is are you listening because you are wanting to understand more about the theory I've been discussing? If so have the shows actually been helpful in increasing your knowledge?

I’m glad you liked the interviews.

But these interviews are just excellent. The conversation is so great. There are other podcasts with mechanical interviews that would make no difference if they were written. But you seem to get along with the people you interview and it makes them a lot more interesting. I wish you could just devote the show to this kinds of conversations. Cheers!!!

This interview kicks ass, basically. i think it s the best luke crane interview, for real. i learned a lot about gming and gaming. i really want to play burning empires now, too. i’m listening to it in bits…it starts out pretty slowly and awkwardly but really rocks by the end.

I'm not sure pleasant would be the term I chose. That's a one off my friends the Urinal Mints did like 8 years ago. They've changed quite a bit in those 8 years. They have a cleaner punk sound on their other work, and lyrically much dirtier content. They bill themselves as the world's finest Porn Rock band, and they have the songs to prove it. http://www.urinalmintsrock.com/um_home.htm http://www.purevolume.com/urinalmints http://www.myspace.com/urinalmints Anyway, what did you think of the interviews content?
