Episode 9 - Running a local scene with Isaac "Boromir96" Degenhart
Last month we explored a casual player's perpsective. Now we do the opposite and get Isaac's thoughts on what it's like to be a Heroscape organizer. So tune for some dad jokes and another three hour tour...a three hour tour (bonus points if you're young and still get that reference).

Episode 8 - Discussing casual play with Derek "Vecna" Haddock
Gordon and Ken interview Derek "Vecna" Haddock to get a better understanding of what casual play means to him.
Drinking game suggestion: Take a drink each time one of the hosts says "So..." On second thought, don't do that; you'll pass out long before you finish the episode.
Audio: Gordon gets a new microphone and it tested great. What happened??? Only so much can be done in post to clean it up. Sigh...it continues to be a work in progress.

Episode 5 - Mark "Rÿchean" Pruett, Father of Tournament Heroscape
We're sure Mark would disagree with this honorific, but that's just too bad because he isn't the one writing this sentence, is he? Listen in and learn about the standards set by Mark that are still applied to this day.

Episode 4 - Mike Schober, founder of ScapeCon
Mike Schober, aka OEAO, aka...nevermind, re-joins the show, but this time as a guest instead of as its host. Learn all there is to know about ScapeCon's past, present, and future!
Episode 3 was our longest episode yet, so what do we do for an encore? Record even longer, of course. Maybe next time we should podcast faster!

Episode 3 - Chatting with Chris Perkins
This episode's guest is Chris Perkins, the creator of Heroscape.org and the current Power Rankings moderator.
The episode title, however, is a bit misleading. "Chatting" implies something brief. A three hour episode is NOT brief! Mistakes were made and we're fairly certain it's all Gordon's fault.
So maybe listen in 30 to 60 minute increments at a time and spend your entire week with Jandar's Dispatch!
