Summary

Episode 62 sees Geoffs excuses for not completing any Hobby Progress dry up as Celesticon, the Northern California Gaming Convention has now finished.

We spend a tremendous time this episode talking about our Hobby Progress and Games Played since we skipped it last episode. We also talk about the Gamer Experience at Celesticon this year and then move into the experience of working a gaming convention such as this one from the organizers perspective. Since Geoff has spent the last few months as the Miniatures Coordinator for Celesticon, he is uniquely positioned to tell us all about it.

Finally, after the closing music, we have our Forbidden Lore Segment on Gav Thorpes “Path of The Outcast”. This is the third in the Path Trilogy in which Gav has written an amazing story about the Eldar. And to make it all worthwhile, we have Gav Thorpe himself, join us for this Forbidden Lore! SPOILER ALERT – As with all Forbidden Lore coverage, we discuss the entirety of the book we are addressing, so if you haven’t read this book yet, (or the rest of the Path Series for that matter) then DO NOT Listen after the closing music!
