One of the biggest pen and paper RPG companies in the world Paizo started developing content for the Dungeons and Dragons system a decade ago. Since then they’ve launched their popular Pathfinder tabletop adventure game, supporting it with rule books, maps, miniatures, and even comics. If you’re interested in fantasy gaming Pathfinder will have something to satisfy you, while if you prefer to enjoy your fantasy adventures in a solitary manner you can enjoy the works published by Paizo’s Planet Stories fiction imprint.

Prepare yourselves: Bill Corbett is calling in this morning at 9AM!

This is an amazing surprise for Desert Bus as Bill is a legend in the geek comedy world! He used to write for Mystery Science Theatre 3000 and also provided the voice of Crow 2.0 as well as various other characters! He’s also a performer and writer for Rifftrax, a hilarious mock-fest where Bill and his peers rip apart bad movies in the style of an in-movie commentary. Scientists have recently proven that Rifftracks are the only force on Earth strong enough to counter the so-called “Twilight Suck-Wave” enough to low the sparkly vampires movies’ leathality to “watchable”.

Bill will be calling in on Tuesday, November 20, 2012 9:00 AM PST, so post any questions in the Comments section of this post and tune in for the impending doom!
