Bonus Episode - Dungeons & Dragons
Bonus Episode Direct Download:

OP: "Dungeons and Dragons" skit by the Dead Alewives, from the out of print album Take Down the Grand Master
ED: "Dungeons and Dragons part II" also by the Dead Alewives. Perhaps it was never on an album.

The Ninja Consultants will be appearing at the AnimeNext convention at the Meadowlands Expo Center in New Jersey, on Sunday, June 22nd 2008.

Erin and Noah will present two panels, one at 10 AM (the worst possible time slot) and one at 3 PM, (the second worst possible time slot). These times are subject to change without much notice. Look for signs outside the panel room for updates.

The 10 AM panel is "Japanese Commercial Apocalypse" and the 3:00 PM panel is "Manga Madness".

I assume we'll be running these panels again at SITACon at the very least, where we'll be guests. I applied to do the same manga panel at Otakon but I was *definitely officially* rejected.

===4TH EDITION COMMERCIAL===

We're really sorry about this everybody! It's all Erin's fault!

===ENOUGH OF THAT===

Oh yeah, that's important. The 10 AM panel is "Japanese Commercial Apocalypse" and the 3:00 PM panel is "Manga Madness".

I assume we'll be running these panels again at SITACon at the very least, where we'll be guests.

I assume you're talking about the classic Dead Alewives skit. I'll put a link in the notes now. The closer is from the sequel skit. You can find it on youtube under "Summoner Geeks".

Are you going to be at AnimeNEXT all three days, or only on Sunday? (Sorry if you mentioned this in the show, but I'm still catching up with older ones) If it's only Sunday, than I sadly won't be able to meet you guys or attend your panel, seeing as I'm leaving town on Sunday morning.

We're just going on Sunday, due to a number of scheduling conflicts and budgetary reasons.

We'll be at Otakon with a table, and SITACon as guests, and NYAF as attendees, so they'll be other chances...

ohhh, litches sound like doujin makers of the 80's... Old wizards of indie comicdom (ero or not).

And those Replay books are sometimes best sellers often rivaling major light novel releases like Kino's and FMP!

Hey boss, could you name a popular replay book title? (Other than Lodoss) so we have some example for the links?

Shinmai no Megami no Yuusha-tachi based on the TRPG Sword World 2.0 compiled Akita Miyabi and Group SNE.
http://www.kadokawa.co.jp/bunko/bk_detail.php?pcd=200801000595

That is a best seller reaching as high as the top 5 in the Japanese Light Novel rankings. Miyabi-san is cool because he was actually inspired by the Lodoss Wars light novels and Mizuno Ryou (a former Group SNE member and the creator of Lodoss Wars, Sword World, Louie the Rune Soldier, Shared World, Legend of Cristiana, Starship Operators, Galaxy Angel...).

Here is a collection of the Double Cross series of RPGs. They range from sci-fi moe with robot girls to horror adventures set in modern day Japan, with everything else in between.

Oh and a cool thing to note about Japanese TRPGs... I think they are called Tabletop RPGs in the States, but in Japan they are called Table Talk RPGs. Kinda cool.

Thanks!! Awesome!! That makes me want to speak enough Japanese to play...!

Table Talk RPGs sounds like a talk show about RPGs...

The character is a "lich" not litch. They are the most powerful undead since they often have very powerful spells. And the only way to properly kill them is to destroy their spirit vessil which could be hidden anywhere.

There's a lich in the second D&D movie (which is actually a better movie than the first). One also appears in one of the "Gold Box" D&D games although I forget which one. (Some of the best computer adaptations of D&D ever made.)

Woah... Thanks for the spellcheck. By the way are you a lich? You definitely sound like one. Though you could simply be a troll. I wouldn't know since I am neither a gamest, simulator nor narrativist. I only play when I stay at the ninja d&d'ers den.

I have a friend who just married her long-time Albanian boyfriend. So what I know about Albanians is that if you know something about them (even their name) before they introduce themselves to you, you are instantly regarded with suspicion and distrust. If only I'd known then that all you have to do to win them over is squirt poison milk from my snake teets!
