Tell them about the 42-page sample and show them the awesome stuff that they can get for the City of Arches in the City of Arches Kickstarter. Again, you can find the whole thing, the link to it in the show notes. Thank you so much for passing along information about the City of Arches. Can't wait for this book to come out. There was, my friend Teos Abadie showed me, brought up a really cool series of videos that Gen Con TV has been putting together. Gen Con TV is run by Peter Ackeson. He is the creator of, the owner of Wizards of the Coast before it was sold to Hasbro. He's... kind of there at the early days when they were building Magic the Gathering. And he was the person who bought Dungeons and Dragons from TSR.

And one of his new things is putting together this series of shows on Gen Con TV. But he put together a series of six shows. They're big, long ones, right? Five and a half, six hour long shows where they are playing through. This is as a celebration of the 50th anniversary of D&D. They're playing through every edition of D&D, 0E, 1E, 2E, 3E, 4E, and 5E. And the players are all people who are involved in the creation of these games. So Wolfgang Bauer is there, Monty Cook is there, like all the people that have been making these games over the years, Jonathan Tweet for third edition, you know, tons of different people who have been involved in the creation of D&D over the past 50 years are there.

Now, the shows are really long, but most of those shows are them actually playing the game. If you want to watch them play their game, you can definitely watch it. But what I found really fascinating is about the first two hours of each of these shows is just a roundtable discussion of what it was like building them. The first one I started watching, I haven't even finished it yet.
