As those that are on twitter know, my hard drive recently blew up so Episode 40 which was all nice and recorded is now gone. In addition, I can't re-record the episode until my computer is fixed (I am posting this from my work PC....shish don't tell anyone). Instead of re-recording this episode which will probably be a little out of date, I am posting the episode show notes and will probably move on to Episode 41 once my PC is back up. I'll keep you posted on the progress. Until then I hope you enjoy the Show Notes from Episode 40, which is now title The Show That Never Was.

(I found this in Moria in Gamith Flick (?). It shows a battle between the dwarves and goblins. I think the big white figure is the Balrog)

In general I think the changes are going to make the game better, but I am a little sad to see the Radiance system go. I thought it was a novel concept.
Anyways sorry that the audio is gone, but I hope to be back in a few weeks with Episode 41.
Thanks
