Market Place Wednesday

I went to Dan's Produce at the local Farmer's Market this morning, I picked up a lot of great things then came home to find I was mentioned in the most recent Thought Eater Podcast. Jeremy mentioned my Invasion of Theed review in his marketplace of OSR goodness. 

If you haven't subscribed to this podcast, go do it now. The elevator pitch is "Jeremy runs down the week in OSR blogging, usually in an hour long show". 

It is very different from some of the other podcasts I listen to, it rambles and ambles through dozens of websites and blogs so I don't have to. I've been listening for a while and it's great. 

I'm currently subscribed to CampaignWiki's Old School RPG Planet, an RSS of hundreds or thousands of blogs. I love it but Jeremey refines this down to the best of the best in his podcasts. I really can't say how useful these two resources are, these two resources really support the OSR and RPG communities very well. Sign up for both if you get the chance.
