FLGS Interview: Phase One Comics and Games
Phase One Comics and Games is a (le gasp) comics and game store in Tomball, Texas that graciously let us record some podcast intros for our Indy PopCon Interview Series. We felt it only right to talk to one of the store’s proprietors about what they’re doing to be a unique shop in the midst of a sea of other shops in the greater Houston metropolis.

Welcome to Tome Travelers
Welcome to Tome Travelers, the debut podcast from Passionerdly and hosts, John and Roxy Thompson. In this episode, we take a few moments to introduce ourselves and the show. Each month, we’ll focus on a new “old” RPG setting or system by taking one episode to look at the core materials, and a second episode to create a character. We hope you enjoy this look at some systems and games that you may have forgotten, or never known about, and join us again for Episode 1. Hosts: John & Roxy Thompson Music "Alien's Feast Loop"...
