Our last GenCon episode is finally out with DM to the Stars Chris Perkins. Sorry it took so long, Tracy, the host of Gamer to Game had life come up (and a new job) and is bowing out of the show after the last few episodes already recorded last summer come out. That leaves Jeff to do the editing chores and...well, life there too. But here it is, Chris Perkins, live from GenCon, Gamer to Gamer. Enjoy!

In this episode we are joined by a familiar figure, Mike Shea, to give some advice on finding inspiration to make your game better. Sam, our editor, has weathered the storms of the Northeastern region of the US and is getting us back on track, editing the episodes that we have been busily recording like clock work. Thanks goes to Sam for his diligence. This is extra important because Jeff is unable to do it all as this is November and he is using all of his non-podcasting free time posting to HoNoToGroABeMo to beat down breast cancer once and for all. I'd love if you'd join me by sponsoring my beard, all the money goes to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
