Stop Geek-on-Geek Crime

[Note: While I have been thinking about this topic for a while now, credit has to go to Jason from Point2Point and Paul from Have Games Will Travel for getting this meme started, including a catchy name.]

Geek-on-geek crime is when a member of the hobby gaming community (that is, the community involved in the types of games that this blog discusses) disparages an entire class of games because they are not the sort of games he or she plays. The permutations of this are endless, and it is a behaviour that date back decades.

It has to stop.

GenCon 2006 Podcasts Repository

I intend to keep straight ahead linkblogging to a minimum, but, once in a while, something too good not to mention shows up. This is one of those things.

The good folks over at The Dragon’s Landing podcast are maintaining a centralized archive of podcasts that were created live at this year’s Gen Con Indy, called Gen Con Live.

It can’t be 100% complete, but there’s still plenty of podcasty goodness from all corners of the gaming hobby, as well as a little all around geekery.
