    Hi, welcome to Narrative Control.  This episode is part one of Burning Las Vegas, the city creation process for the alpha test of the Dresden Files RPG.

    I know one thing... I think I'll be naming my podcast "The Conversation Continues." That way you guys can plug my show with your intro. ;)

    LoL! You guys are great. Can't wait to hear the second half of this cast. I definitely like hearing about games I'm unfamiliar with.

    Good timing. Episode 4 is up with the continuation of Burning LV. If there are any games that you are interested in but haven't played let us know. If we're familiar I'm sure Justin and I would be happy to yack about them. We're pretty keen on doing that anyway :)
