We still have tickets available for the Gen Con 2007 Shindig. Details are on the site: www.afterserenity.com.

If you do a search for Shindig in the title of the event on Friday, it will be the only one.

If you are signed up, send us your character background and some goals (short and long) that you would like to work on. We're sculpting the Shindig so that you can work on accomplishing these goals if you want to work on them.

Stay Shiny!

The forums are back up!

This episode we talk about some general Serenity and not-so Serenity news. We also have some voicemail and talk about posts on the forums.

Then we move on to talking about upcoming conventions and what you need to do if you haven't played before. We need authors! We also need GMs for future conventions!

Neal5x5 sent in an excellent in character piece, listen for it.

Origins and Gen Con easter eggs are in this one!

Really short show today.

Convention listing

A call out to any phpNuke experts, or experts with mySQL. Seems the forums didn't like the last update and no one can post anymore!

We lost a great podcaster recently, and a good man. He was an inspiration for us to start podcasting and we will miss him.

The Serenity RPG character sheet is out, and it is shiny!

We're including it in the podcast feed because we feel it works well for our campaign.

Updated with the corrected sheet: 2006/07/19

The copyright of course is the publisher's (MWP) and if they request we take it down, we of course will.

This mini-cast is a review of Lonnie Ezell's new novel Daughter of the Sun. While it is a fantasy novel, Lonnie and the folks at the Dragon's Landing Inn are great people, and I just could not turn down the chance to screen a copy of his new novel. I was not disappointed.

Enjoy!

They are finally here!

Here are the equipment packages for finishing up your characters for the After Serenity campaign. As you will see, not everything is available to purchase, and you must purchase a full package at a time (no ala carte selections).

During the campaign you will have the opportunity to pick up some of those cool toys though.

If there are any questions or problems about the equipment packages, please come to http://www.afterserenity.com and post them in the forums.

Stay shiny!

We have been very busy of late, and so the podcast has suffered. We have about half of the podcast recorded, and we hope to do the rest tonight. Once that is done, some editing, and then by the end of the week you should have the podcast.

We appologize for the delay.
