With CaLeigh sick, Ron and Veronica were stuck home for RinCon. But Don Dehm and Derek Rex, of Pulp Gamer Media Network, Paul Tevis, of Have Games, Will Travel, and Ryan Macklin, of Master Plan, decided the show must go on. This is their RinCon report. We would like to thank the four of them for taking the time to be on our show. It's a pleasure having three highly-respected podcasters sit in for us.
