Welcome to the calm before the storm. We are in the doldrums of summer, as manufacturers scurry silently towards Indianapolis – which means darn little news this week. Still, Ben and Rett make the most of it, discussing Gen Con and Origins dates out through 2020, dissecting some tidbits of news and answering reader mail about “expected value” and PDF product. We’ll see everyone next week at Gen Con. Drop us an email or post on the show notes or catch Rett at his home away from home (guess which booth?).

This lack of Ben and Rhett is tugging at my heartstrings. You guys are the only duo I know that could make the business side of gaming interesting for the common guy not in the business. Any expected time you think a recording will be up? Thanks in advance.
Sorry, Alex. Rett and I have been swamped with our day jobs. Rett, with “fun” game industry work at Catalyst and me, with less fun, work in the glamorous world of corporate IT programming. I apologize for not making a post letting everyone know, but its been that busy! Hang tight, we’ll be back soon!
I have to echo Alex’s sentiment, your podcast has been missed.
Any chance there are links to your pre-purpe pawn podcasts to tide us over?
cheers
James
