Topika is the most central city in the continental US.

Ok, scratch that. Topeka (fixed spelling…) may be marginally closer to the geographic center of the continental US, but isn’t that much different than KC.

Thanks for the clarification. I was worried for a moment, because Topika is town filled with jerks.

That sounds about right. I knew the geographic center was closer to Kansas than Missouri. What I was referring to was the distribution of population and culture.

What’s with the extensive Chris hate coming out of Dan?

Phil, that’s just the way they interact. They’ve explained that many times over the years.

Phil, it’s because he literally hates me

Yeah, I have much love for Chris. We just bust on each other all the time. While it’s not culturally unique to our area, I’ve come to learn that the extent to which we do it may be unique to St. Louis.

The “Yes, and” is SO important to improv, and in many ways, to roleplaying. The reason for that type of roleplay is to instill trust in your fellow players, ti create cohesiveness in the party, and to unite everyone for the sake of the game. It’s my favorite aspect of roleplaying, and those who use that method of improv in their roleplay are such a benefit to the group and the game.

Wow! Two of my favorite podcasts on the same show. This is so awesome!

James and Kat do a great job of introducing the idea of role playing games to the uninitiated in a fantastic way, while also making the show highly accessible and entertaining for seasoned players. It’s really one of the best, evangelic programs for RPGs.
