ESCAPIST UPDATE - February 16th, 2007
February 16th, 2008
SQUARE ONE, EPISODE THREE - The globally anticipated third episode of the Square One podcast is finally up and ready to enjoy! This episode is all about creating characters, which is why it is titled "Creating characters (and giving them character)." Square One is a podcast devoted to helping new gamers discover all of the great things about the hobby. If you know someone who is thinking about giving RPGs a try, let them know about the podcast! You can listen and subscribe at www.squareonepodcast.com
"GOTH BONNIE AND CLYDE" FAIL THEIR SNEAK CHECKS - A young couple from Cleveland, Ohio dubbed the "Goth Bonnie and Clyde," were arrested for the theft of nearly 8.5 million dollars in cash and checks from the armored car company where one of them worked. Roger Dillon and Nicole Boyd staged the ill-planned heist to escape their poor financial situation and give themselves a better life.
True-crime websites and other media outlets have dubbed the pair with the "Goth Bonnie and Clyde" moniker due to their love of vampire novels and Dungeons & Dragons. Few, if any, have tried to make the connection between gaming and the crime, other than to mention that the couple were known for having their heads in the clouds.
The two face up to 25 years in prison and a $250,000 fine if convicted.
