Gamer’s Haven Episode 40 – Gender Roles in Gaming (aka the obligitory Women in Gaming Episode)

Summary: In this episode, we catch up on some of our backlog with an episode recorded many months ago. We are joined by Jeremy’s wife Robin and Nathan’s wife Becca, who help us talk about women in gaming. We talk about gaming in general, the gaming industry and how it appeals to women. The Three Parter returns with a “Multi-Parter!” We hit the books, literally, with a stack of reviews.

Jeremy then wraps it up with some reviews of some of the Planet Stories books (The Anubis Murders, The City of the Beast, Elak of Atlantis, The Secret of Shinarat, and The Kiss of the Black Goddess) from Paizo Publishing.
