00:53:31. Rob MacLennan. I don't think I've run into anyone who has played role playing games and didn't have a story about a house rule. Do you guys have a favourite house rule story?

00:57:06. Laura Adams. O.k. Second attempt. My cat stepped on my keyboard and either sent the question before I was ready or deleted it. Are you going to RadCon this year Andy? I know Scott won't be there. If so are you doing a podcast from it and will it be live or recorded?

01:06:20. James Peters. For Andy: If you could learn (whether instantly or through study) any fantasy/sci-fi language, what would it be?
+ Dothraki (web)

01:11:37. James Peters. For Scott: You've talked about doing more exercise, and living healthier. I assume part of this effort is keeping track of what you eat. What tools are you using to track that, and how are you finding them to be?

00:36:43. Lotta Djerf. Please give us Swedes your input in almost every American tv series or movie - the character (all characters) holds a beverage in a paper mug (seems these have forgotten to make their your own coffee/tea) and the mug is obviously empty. Why not just skip it? Can understand that hot beverage cd be a legal issue if someone spills. Just plain water would do the trick or whatever. Ok, so this might be this years most trivial and boring question but we are just making it a joke how many (empty) mugs we can spot in an episode. Oh and Happy New Year to you! Loved the Christmas video!

00:47:54. Rob MacLennan. I figure you guys will be pretty busy over the next couple of weeks, so now might be the right time to ask what your high points of the year were?
