RPGFan's Random Encounter

The latest episode of your friendly neighborhood podcast is now available for your listening pleasure. We discuss all sorts of things that are not StarCraft 2, like Arc Rise Fantasia, DeathSpank, Dragon Quest IX, and share our thoughts on random encounters (the mechanic, not the podcast).

Over the years, RPGFan has tried to keep itself up with the times by adding new things such as a Twitter account, a Facebook page and... errr... that's about it actually. Ok, so maybe we haven't kept up with the times as much as we'd like to, but rejoice, because today marks a big step in RPGFan's history as we celebrate the launch of our first ever podcast which we aptly named Random Encounter.Keep in mind that this could be considered a pilot, a test run, a trial, a beta version, well, you get the idea. We feel that the best way to improve our podcast is to have our readers listen to our trials and send us their comments, suggestions, praises, insults or whatever else they want to say and then we'll use that to try and improve it with every subsequent episode. For example, expect to eventually hear a theme song for our podcast.We're still trying to find our chemistry and we'll be trying out several editors over the coming weeks to try and find a definitive team for the podcast. We're probably looking to have a set team of perhaps 3 editors with a different guest editor every episode.We hope you enjoy it and send in your thoughts to Robert Steinman at podcast@rpgfan.com since he'll be the one in charge of going through all the suggestions and comments about the podcast.
