All Games Considered

A long-running podcast about table top gaming, including role-playing games, card games, board games and miniature games. It's one of the first podcasts I started listening to, and the first from that era (4+ years ago) that I still listen to regularly. Of particular note is their RPG Buffet series, in which they combine a night of gaming and eating, complete with recipes.

Escape Pod

A science fiction podcast featuring original short fiction. It's perfect when you need a speculative fiction fix, but don't have the time to jump into a full-length audio book. For years it was edited by Steve Eley, but in Spring 2010 he stepped down and handed the reigns over to long-time podcaster Mur Lafferty.

1000 Monkeys, 1000 Typewriters

A web site dedicated to free role-playing games, and the official mirror of the 24 Hour RPG and Game Chef archives. There are 500+ games in the site's archive, and while I wish they were better organized (genre categories beyond fantasy and science fiction would be nice), it's still worth a visit.

Ninja Magic

A miniatures company specializing in starships, Ninja Magic creates some first rate models (as you can see on the Ships of the Jun-ila and Ships of the Kikoku pages. They also sell magnetic adapters that can be used to change the orientation of your ship, which is cool for those games where ships make a lot of slow, ponderous turns. I picked up number of these minis for my Star Wars campaign, and I can't wait to paint them and get them out onto the battlefield (or starfield, as the case may be).
