Geek Fu #68 - Heaven Pt. 3
I am back with more fiction!
I won the 2005 Grumble Magazine Reader’s Choice Award!
I recently appeared on the Leftwing Nutjob podcast.
Thanks for asking about the dog, she’s doing well. You can see pics at Flickr.
I now have a mailbox for the podcasts, so if you want to send me anything for review, mail to:
PMB 215
105 West Hwy 54 Ste. 265
Durham, NC 27713 USA
I review Nature of the Beast from Eye Level Entertainment. A better gameplay review is at Have Games Will Travel.
The RPG company Palladium is going through some problems. If you’re a gamer, you might think about helping them out.
Heaven, Pt. 3! Daniel and Kate’s first adventure!
Check Fantasy Flight for Arkham Horror house rules.

Hi Mur,
Really enjoying the “heaven” story, I look forward to hearing your podcasts every week , you’ve a lovely, warm voice that is perfect for blowing away the cobwebs on my way in to work. I see you’re a guest on the babylon podcast (which lead me to this page in the first place) I’ll be listening to that on my way home this evening.
I may send you an mp3, be nice to hear an irish voice on the podcast. Do you recommend any other sci-fi related casts I Can listen to? at this stage podcasts are threating to push out the music on my little 1gb Creative MuVo.

Another fantastic podcast, Mur. “Heaven” is really developing into quite the adventure, and I’m really looking forward to each installment.

Love love love Heaven.. i know i say that every episode, but its true. You must release this as a Podio book or something when it is finished so i can listen to it all together and often. I look foreward to every installment, and should you attend ConCarolinas, you will be flooded with an overabundance of my admiration. Keep up the good work

Hi Mur,
I have to say, you really put the “creative” in creative writing. This is where podcasters like yourself seem to have so much more to offer than mainstream media, where I feel like I get the same stories over and over (how many CSI and Law and Order shows are there now?). I like the way Heaven is evolving, and always liked that title.
Also listened to your interview on Leftwing (what’s up with that guy’s voice :-). You got a few extra points in my book for always being able to see boths sides of an issue. IMHO, any subject having a clear answer is more suited to fiction for 8 year olds. No real problems are that simple. You should consider that a positive and mature aspect of yourself.
Thanks again for the show,
-mat

Holy Crap! Another media-minded gamer in the Triangle!
Hi Mur, this is Andy K (in Cary). A bunch of us are trying to form a larger (but relaxed) gaming society in the Triangle area- We were using www.meetup.com to organize ( http://roleplayers.meetup.com/315/boards/ was “The Triangle”, now is “Boshkengash” to stop people from signing up before we move), but because of the dues we’re taking our show to Yahoogroups this month:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nerdrdu/ (we’re trying to create a community like the very successful www.nerdnyc.com community)
We are currently setting up a website to post events and the like, and what we’re essentially trying to do is take the small, disparate game groups that are here and there, scattered across the triangle, and sort-of unify them under a general geek banner: Gaming. Music. Art. Writing. COffee. Spirituality. etc etc.
Anyway, I just started listening to your podcast (found it on GOBLIN), and all of us geek men and women would love to have you and your friends join. The link to the Yahoogroup is up there.
And sorry about the dust. The move away from Meetup.com, the move towards the Web and Yahoogroups, is right in the middle of thngs now for the next two weeks.
-Andy
