Tue, 17 November 2009 While it was created a long time ago, there is now actually something worth visiting the Here Be Gamers! Facebook page for. Go along and join the fan page so we feel special. There is also some photos of Marty, Nathan and some of the friends we made at GenCon Oz this year. Nathan & Marty Category: gossip -- posted at: 3:47 AM Comments[3] |
Sun, 8 November 2009 So this episode we give you a roundup of what we've been playing and have a quick chat about Dragon Age before getting into a discussion of super heroes - movies, games and... umm... stuff in general. We do get a bit carried away talking about super hero movies and franchises, but do eventually bring it back to gaming! Our usual breadth of gaming discussion has been a bit restricted due to Nathan's distraction with the National Novel Writing Month, but hang in there people, because December is on the horizon, along with a host of holiday gaming releases! Let us know, via email or comments in this blog, what you think of our "discussion" episodes.

Mon, 26 October 2009  Hello and welcome to another exciting episode! We mix it up this time around with an episode that comes in under 1 hour (and they said we couldn't do it!) and have a discussion on the genre of horror and gaming, rather than just a review of games. Marty and I really enjoyed putting this episode together, and if you like it we will try to do more like this in the future! Intro [00.00] On Our Radar [20.20] Dragon Age Origins (computer game) Horror discussion [32.00] As always, we encourage you to leave your reviews on iTunes! Till next time, Marty & Nathan Comments[8] |

Tue, 29 September 2009 Okay, slightly late, but jam packed with details about our trip to GenCon Oz. We must admit, we kind of go on about GenCon Oz a lot. If you aren't interested then you might just want to listen to the intro and the wrap-up. But we have some awesome stuff to talk about, and this episode we share with you an interview with Jason Bulmahn, lead designer of Pathfinder. If you are one of the fabulous people we met at GenCon, or you simply heard about the show because of one of those little blue cards we left all over the place, welcome! This is an atypical show, with a lot of talk about GenCon. We will be back on track with a regular episode in two weeks! Please, please (please!) leave iTune reviews, or visit podcast alley (or even better, do both). [00.00] Intro [18.45] GenCon Oz [60.00] Jason Bulmahn interview [67.00] The Board Room

Mon, 21 September 2009 Marty and I are back from GenCon Oz. We had an absolute blast and want to thank all the people that contributed to making it so great. this includes Ian Houlihan and his staff and fantastic volunteers, the GM's and other event organisers, the helpful booth operators, very friendly cosplayers and all the visitors who were keen to just talk, play and generally geek-out! We did a heap of interviews (some really good ones, if we say so ourselves), brought home a metric-ton of games and toys, and made some awesome contacts. We met fans of the shows (even Catwoman had heard of us!), made new friends and had some truly disturbing encounters with pirates (Saturday was "Talk like a pirate day"!). Next episode will be available early next week and we are planning to start sharing some of our interviews, though it will likely take a few episodes to get through them all. Expect to hear about Pathfinder, Ars Magica, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 3rd Edition, cosplaying and costuming, fantasy coins, Monsterpocalypse, Pandemic, awesome game tables and heaps, heaps more! Stay tuned! - Nathan Category: gossip -- posted at: 10:35 PM Comments[19] |
Sun, 13 September 2009  Marty and I are busy getting ready for GenCon Oz (it's only days away!) and just wanted to keep you updated about what we are doing there. Marty will be playing in a couple of Warmachine events and trying out a freeform for the very first time, a steampunk adventure called Flight of the Apollyon. I am very jealous that I will miss this - next time Gadget, next time... I will be running games over at Indie Games On Demand (rumoured to be the COOLEST event running this year, with an amazing visual attraction to boot!). Sunday morning I will be on the panels of two seminars, War Stories (about publishing games) and Game Design Round Table (where it is hoped an exciting announcement will be made...). Saturday morning we have lined up a couple of interviews with Steve Darlington (writer for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay) and Timothy Ferguson (writer for Ars Magica). We will also be stalking the halls for more interviews up until lunchtime - we want to talk to cosplayers, booth holders, volunteers and geeks of all persuasions. We are hoping to catch up with Jason Bulmahn and Keith Baker too! Speaking of Steve Darlington, he has an event on Friday Night that was added too late to make it into the GenCon Oz event listings. At the 3 Hours To Midnight event You and Steve will work together to create a roleplaying game! It runs Friday, 7-10pm inSeminar Room 3. More details at Steve's GenCon Oz Blog. While we will be doing lots of interviews (and taking plenty of photos) we are not sure whether we will get any episodes to air during GenCon. By the time we finish each day, we may not have access to the internet at the con, and we want to take the time to make sure the interviews sound their best before we share them, so we will see what happens. We are very excited and look forward to meeting many of you! On a completely unrelated note, we recieved a great email from d20 Sapphire (a mysterious name if ever I heard one!) telling us about her blog The 20 Sided Women Project. There are some great interviews and interesting posts up there and you should check it out. Expect more from us.... soon! - Nathan Category: gossip -- posted at: 1:43 AM Comments[20] |
Wed, 9 September 2009  This episode we talk about the huge pile of games we have been playing, including Pulp City, Space Hulk, Gloom and Champions Online. We give Space Hulk a bit of a review before moving on to an exploration of other great two-player games such as Dungeon Twister and Tanhauser. We also talk about the Fantasy Flight film, Midnight Chronicles, and an fantastic setting for Traveller, The Twilight Sector. A slightly different show notes this episode, send us your thoughts. Please keep the iTunes reviews and Podcast Alley votes coming.
Enjoy the show! Nathan & Marty Comments[28] |
Wed, 9 September 2009  Here Be Gamers! Xtra is our gift to you. Well, no it isn't. It's a 'zine. You know, a short, "mini-magazine" usually dedicated to a single hobby or interest and produced by the fan community. This particular zine is dedicate to all the stuff we like - hobby games, RPG's, boardgames, dodgy movies and all that kind of stuff. It costs a mere $1 and when you purchase a copy it helps to cover some of the expenses like hosting the site and the like. Here Be Gamers! Xtra is filled with all the low-brow humour and almost-informative details that you have come to expect from the podcast, but with pictures! It is available from RPGnow. Check it out!
