It’s just a friendly, low stakes game of five card draw. Sure, it’s a weird place for poker, but don’t let that bother you. We don’t bet much because we don’t have much. We’re a little picky about who we let sit in, but it looks like you’ll meet the qualifications, and we need some new blood in the game. You in? *** Written by Anne Stringer Narrated by Ian Jones Promos The Parsec Awards http://www.parsecawards.com Personal Effects: Sword of Blood http://www.jchutchins.net/ How To Grow Your Geek http://www.howtogrowyourgeek.net The Geekcast http://www.geekcastonline.com Penny Ante Copyright 2009 Anne Stringer http://anne-stringer.livejournal.com/ Variant Frequencies Copyright 2009 Rick Stringer and Matt Wallace http://www.variantfrequencies.com
Round #2 – Meet “The Heretic” Chaiyal North, the 6′ 9″, 400 pound newly-crowned champion of the Galactic Fighting Association. Chai is the first Human competitor to capture the interspecies title in a thousand years, but as far as he’s concerned crowns don’t make kings. Chai may be sitting at the top of the GFA heap, but to truly call himself the best there’s one more fighter he must face on the field of battle — Quyth legend Korak the Cutter. *** Written by Scott Sigler and Matt Wallace Narrated by Matt Wallace TITLE FIGHT: Round #2 Copyright 2009 Scott Sigler and Matt Wallace http://www.scottsigler.com http://www.matt-wallace.com Variant Frequencies Copyright 2009 Rick Stringer and Matt Wallace http://www.variantfrequencies.com
In the three years since Jack Palms went clean: no drugs, no drinking, no life, he’s added fourteen pounds of muscle, read 83 books, and played it as straight as anyone can ask him. Now, when an old friend from L.A. calls, he hits the streets of San Francisco to help a group of Czech drug buyers make one big score, a single drug deal that he hopes will set him up for life. But when people start turning up dead, and an old nemesis on the policeforce calls, Jack finds himself with just 24 hours to track down San Francisco’s biggest drug supplier or face charges that will put him behind bars. Only an Oscar-caliber performance will get him through this alive. *** Written and narrated by Seth Harwood Jack Wakes Up Copyright 2009 Seth Harwood http://www.sethharwood.com Variant Frequencies Copyright 2009 Rick Stringer and Matt Wallace http://www.variantfrequencies.com

Bad Dreams. Shadows on the wall. Things that go bump in the night. Something lurks in the darkness to whisper things no child should hear. To remind young minds of things no child should remember. And to feed. It waits, hungry but patient, in the blackness under the bed. *** Written by Michael Natale Narrated by Michael A.
