This week we finish our discussion of Bureau 13's primary training, reliquery, and dangerous supernatural containment facility. We concentrate on the last 2 parts this week. What kinds of objects must be hidden away and destroyed? What kind of creatures cannot be redeemed? And what do you do if they cannot be contained?
this week we continue our discussion of how the Bureau 13 training base in a pocket dimension could or should be designed. We talk about the time compressed area and if it should be that way throughout. Next week we finish up with the other two parts: The reliquarium and the supernatural prison.
Sorry about that folks. Due to some difficulty in the sound of one of the hosts I switched the track I got his voice and forgot to blank out the original track. This has been fixed. Please enjoy part 1 of Bureau 13 Bangor Maine training base.
To Bureau 13 fans, the location of Bangor Maine is shrouded in mystery. Is it a top secret b13 base under a tool and die factory? It is a extra-dimensional pocket? Is it a prison for the damned and damning? In bureau 13 all stories are true. Come find out more about Bangor Maine in this week's episode. This is the first appearance of our new host Amber Roe!
This week we continue our series on the Fringeworthy Races with the Tziel, a lizard men like race. Trav, John, and Bruce delve into their culture, biology, and birthing practices to bring them far above the easy cliche of the stalward native companion. This was a lot of fun and a lot of surprises. Thanks for all the questions.
This is the second half of episode 104, but just in case you want to keep it separate, here's all the gencon 2012 sessions (except the b13 one John didn't get done) we will be running.

This week we continue our exploration on how to run Bureau 13 in different eras in its history. We go from the 1920's to the future. One correction is there was 2 published artifically enhanced human pieces. The Augumented Man, Hells Night by Richard Tucholka is the best reference. The Battle Body Implants, Stalking the Steel City by Bruce Sheffer was not a complete adventure but was a character addition to Bureau 13 lore. We will be doing more elaborate podcasts on these eras in the future. Ple...
