I would suggest there be framework of only Epic Duels related casts. There are multiple expansions that people have provided that would make great podcast material. I think this is an intriguing idea. Having the EDOL host the podcasts would be a great way to promote a transition to a new site. It would create draw to that site, if we posted them on a new site... Funny thing is, I just had a group discussion with Tom and the creator of the WWL. We were discussion how to get the new site built. This really could all come together and create something that is VERY cool.

To be honest no, I have not. I was thinking it would be a great idea however. I know that a podcast based solely on Epic Duels is only dreaming, but that's what the Star Wars Minis portion and other games portion are for. I do realize that it must take a lot of work, but I've seen it done by individuals before, so as long as their are more than a few people helping, I think it can be done. At first the majority of the content should be based around other games, particularly Star Wars Miniatures as the best set (In my opinon) is about to be released and we can cover news over that. Also Star Wars news would be covered. But the main purpose of the podcast is to get people interested in Epic Duels, at least that's what my goal is. The majority could be other stuff, but we have to have a segment that will get people interested in playing Epic Duels. The Segments that I have in mind are in no particular order.

Star Wars Miniatures News
Star Wars News
Epic Duels- What is it?
Clix News (Heroclix, Action Clix)
Heroscape News
Board Game Review (Old or New)
Movie News

Having many options like above would broaden the appeal, because as far as I know, their aren't many if any podcasts that deal with board games. (I don't take that as a bad sign, just the lack of promotion) It would help people who do not want to look from website to website for information, or trust wikipedia. I know this is a shot in the dark, but if it does work it can revitalize the ED community just like it was before Star Wars miniatures. (Is it just me, or did that really cause the downfall of ED, well besides from being an out of print game with no official expansion). Anyways, it does seem a lot of work, but if some members could focus on a particular topic, and get members from other boards (Like I'll try to get the minis board working on the minis portion) then the workload will not be so great. I'm also thinking for star wars news, just as an example, someone could read the publisher's summary (the one that hardly spoils anything) of an upcoming book, such as Fury. Personally, I wouldn't mind doing that and the minis portion with the SWM message board, assuming they are for it. Let me check about that.
