Kineticist’s take
iTunes RSS issues, TSR legal battle, and Stern's bungled James Bond pinball reveal.
Synopsis
Tony and Dennis discuss Eclectic Gamers Podcast operations, including iTunes RSS feed issues with SoundCloud. They resurrect the tabletop segment to discuss Wizards of the Coast filing an injunction against new TSR LLC (a startup using the TSR name and logo) for their Star Frontiers revival project, which features problematic character creation content. They then pivot to pinball, focusing extensively on Stern's James Bond reveal debacle: leaked cell phone photos from a UK trade show, delayed reveal due to Queen Elizabeth II's death, unintended 007 store image leak, and discussion of Stern's poor handling of the reveal narrative.
