This is the first track released from the Barbarian Jetpack album. I was inspired to write this song after watching Allie Goertz's very charming, very sweet (slightly psychotically violent in the middle) song "Tonight (D&D Song)." Its a great, wistful tune, and she has a beautiful voice. I'm sorry that this isn't, and that I don't. While I love rpgs, and have since I was a kid, this is more like the D&D sessions we had when I was younger. That doesn't mean I didn't (r don't) feel the same way Allie does about a good rpg session. It probably (I hope) speaks to the quality of the games we ran when I was younger... Every group has its George. If your group doesn't, you're probably him (or her.) On an overwhelmingly positive note, I was contacted by Gary Gygax's family about this song. You can find the record of that correspondence (reprinted by their permission) here: http://www.mikeymason.com/p/my-gygax-family-testimonial.html

I've had this song stuck in my head since I heard it streamed from MarsCon. I finally got it out of my head and then it showed up for consideration and it got stuck in my head again. I finally got it out again and now it's live. What an amazing freakin' earworm you've created here. Great song, though.

A great song and one that I'm definitely going to be sharing with my gaming group because we've all had a George in our games at some point.

Could totally hear your smile on the 3:25 "...[pause] BEST. GAME. EVER." Listened to it 5 times in the car.

You guys are far too kind, and really know how to make a guy feel welcome. Thanks!
