“Robert Heinlein once said that the committee was the only life form in the universe with three or more bellies and no brain. MSNBC reports that his statement may have some statistical truth to it. Researchers are finding that meetings are actually bad places to be creative. You’re not actually ‘dumber’ when you’re in the meeting, just more likely to lose your creative edge.

New podcast coming up…
Mario from Geek Corps Radio, and I got to talking and the result is a new podcast that is coming out soon. The Game Master Show is going to be a podcast designed to help GMs get better at what they do. How is this different from other RPG podcasts out there?
- Actual Play sessions – we will be gaming and you can listen to the sessions to hear what we are doing right and what could be done better.
- Actual Play session critique – after each session, the GM and players will talk about the game
- General talk show – every few podcasts, we will be doing a general talk show, what we see coming up, what we have played, listener feedback, and GMing ideas
The show is coming soon, so check back here for updates.
