    Can't wait for the rest to be released...show has promise. I mean, it's no TMD, but hey, you're trying and that's what counts... ;)
    Nah, sounds good though. I'll finish up listening while printing end-of-month bills tomorrow. Good job, kids. :)

    I'm an asshat and haven't gotten to listen to the show yet. Fortunately, it's on the iPod, so I'll be listening to it in the car on the way to Seattle.

    No sweat, it's short (23 min) so it will be easy to fit in, especially driving to PAX. Have a great time at the expo.

    Hey Daniel, thanks for checking it out. Despite the number of RPG podcasts that already exist, so far everyone I've talked to has been incredibly inviting. Thank you for the welcome and I look forward to checking out the group.

    Wow-I figured he'd at least be nice to his henchpeople. Just another reason to be McGee, I guess...

    In this episode you mentioned that you used a solitaire game and an egg timer to create stress for the player to pick a lock.
    What was the solitaire game you gave to the player to abstract the lock picking?

    Hey Cheinzmann, the game I used was called Phoenix. It's actually a two player game, but works as a solitaire game if you add a timer. In that game you have a number of different colored pawns that you are trying to get into a specific (color) order based on some randomly placed colored blocks. You move the pawns backward and forward in a line based on cards you play. I based the number of pawns they had to line up on how successful their 'security' (in this case is was an electronic lock) skill roll was so that it still tied to their character sheet.

    I wanted to give a similar feel to 'hacking' a security system in the Bioshock video game (if you've had a chance to check that out)...and almost went with the Waterworks card game instead but it seemed too steampunky for Firefly.

    Justin,
    Thanks for the reply. I found a tanagram set with 60 puzzles with it at the house and bought a timer that 'ticks'
    depending on the lock / task I can just add time and # of puzzles that need to be solved. Thanks I will look at Phoenix.

    Tanagrams! That's a good idea too. Bonus points if you can make a tanagram that looks like the bomb you are diffusing or the lock you are picking. You might also want to check out a board game called Ubongo that uses tetris like tanagram puzzles that all players are trying to finish before the sand timer runs out.
