Yog Radio #43: Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone at UK Games Expo

After a mammoth listen-a-thong I have caught up to the 43rd show, I started at #16 and have enjoyed every second while I have been at work and on my travels, I do have only one complaint and that is you miss pronounce Bradford every time you say it.

It should be Bradford with a 'T', but I forgive you.

I feel sad that I have started to listen after I have left Bradford for 'sunny' Sheffield, while I lived in Bradford I was in a group for a long, long time - so I never felt the need to go 'out' looking for another roleplay avenue.

Listening to the pod-casts it seems we have been to many of the same things at the same time i.e. the films you have seen, also I think we have several friends of friends in common ( say Hi to my pal Stuart Novis he is a university campus security officer and a long, long time roleplayer, he says he often sticks his head in to see what the BURP'ers are up to ).

I missed the 'Phantom of the Opera' in Saltaire but I did get to see 'Nosferatu' shown in Sheffield Cathedral by a PHD music student who did his last course work as a live music show on the Cathedrals organ, it was amazing, seeing the film, with the powerful music, in a Gothic surrounding and all for £5!

Also a Saltaire fact for you the four lions who stand guard outside the hall and library are the original models for the Trafalgar Square lions by Landseer, or so I'm told.

I am very happy that I picked up one your show and site, I now have no roleplay group out here in Sheffield so your very important for my roleplay needs, it truly is people like yourself's that keep our hobby afloat, not the publishers and we the players need to remember that and lend a helping hand to each other when we can.

I hope hopefully will be joining as a patron if 'she who must be obeyed' says yes, or I mite just tell her a fib, say its a kitten charity, not 'another' stupid game thing - and where is the board.

Please keep up the good work,
Noble

Thank you for the kind words!

I never knew Bradford was supposed to be pronounced with a "T", but then none of us are natives.

I believe Sheffield University has a very active Roleplay society (and that the UK Student Nationals are back there in 2011)!

Oh yes 'Bratford' is the way forward.

The only city in England with its own pit! I heard a Mr Quatermass is looking in to it.

Oh one last thing Bards ( that's all of them ) suck! I will leave it up to you as to what they suck, but I would suggest some thing that sounds 'like' halls.
