Apologies for the sound quality on the interview; Mickey's sound hardware is (as he self-admits) crap.  We're hoping for a replacement soon.

Thanks for the podcast. You both hit the nail on the head for me. For me January -July 2007 was a combination of my birthday(which is really in October) and Christmas. Somehow I went from buying $2.00 books to the entire Dresden Files/Codex books. I have the Season I on Itunes and the DVD I get next week.
I somehow ended up with a new computer to play my Itunes. I have the 4th Codex book and the next
Dresden Files on order for April 2008. The Dresden Files RPG is my next goal and then the short stories.
I may have to permanently change my birthday to April.
My goal is to focus on the RPG instead of the T.V. unless I find out there is something I can do to support the T.V show. In the meantime I am hoping to hear about the Codex series. My co-worker will start on
White Knight then straight into the Codex series.

WOW. I did not realize the publishers tripled their print run on White Night. Every bookstore in my area was sold out after the first day.

That's impressive.

Serious apologies, folks...Logitech normally makes excellent products, but the mic on this headset is horrible (speakers are fantastic)...I practically had to swallow the mic to get what you heard.

Soon as finances allow, I'm putting down 150 bucks on the external USB Turtle Beach soundcard & surround sound headphones, and hoping thier mic is good.

Thanks, Fred and Mickey.  It still stings to hear about the show's cancellation, even though we assumed as such months ago.  I look forward to the Alera Love episode!  (And hopefully then I'll have some real news to report!)

I'm definitely looking forward to the Alera Love podcast. Athough I don't feel comfortable calling in myself.

I would like to point out, though, that your description of Bernard riding an air-borne chariot and calling upon the strength of Brutus is technically impossible. He'd need to be in contact with the ground to call upon Brutus. 

[iago]

Sure, but I didn't say anything about Brutus.  He *was* using a bow that could only be drawn by someone with "furycrafted" strength, IIRC, in that scene.

But dude!  Call in, please!  I'm dyin' here!

[XavierDLH]

No. But you did say "strength of the earth." i.e. Brutus.

[iago]

No. But you did say "strength of the earth." i.e. Brutus.

Dude.  Not true.  If I meant Brutus, I'd say Brutus.

We know that all furycrafters start out with a certain amount of "internal furycrafting".  This is where they turn their talents in upon themselves to get some rudimentary "buff" type effects -- greater strength and durability for earthcrafters, for example.  That's strength of the earth.  A pile of bricks with an attitude and a desire to turn your face into pulp -- that's Brutus.
