We are deeply troubled by the loss of 40K Radio today and we are saddened by the events that ultimately led to Spencer closing his doors. While it is no secret we had professional disagreements, we had no personal conflicts with Spencer. We are just learning about the events of the last few days and we are appalled!

The actions of the person or persons responsible for sending Spencer threats are, indeed, cowardly on an unthinkable scale. There has been much misinformation going around as to who is responsible and it appears that it may never be clear. While it is hard for us to fathom anyone making this threat, rather than engage upon a witch hunt we are going to drop it. It’s a sad enough day. This persons actions are not condoned by Dice Like Thunder or its hosts. Personal attacks and threats have no place in the 40k Podcasting community and is not something we have or will engage in. We whole heartedly condemn the letter that caused this chain of events.

To the rumor mill: You have our official response. Your services are no longer required. We will delete posts about this topic from our forums that involve any name calling or attacks on anyone who might be involved.

To Spencer and 40K Radio: We wish you luck in your future endeavors. While we may not have always seen eye to eye, you set a standard. You blazed a trail for other podcasts to follow and you inspired us weekly to keep podcasting. You are welcome on our show any time.

To everyone else out there: Break out your models and let’s roll some dice!

This is not the end of Dice Like Thunder, obviously it can live on without me just fine. Dan & Richard have been doing this for quite some time. The new format is a lot of work and I am happy to put in the hours, so that isn’t the factor either. It’s actually a good thing.

I found a job. A good job. A great job. My dream job. Unfortunately it would be professionally inappropriate for me to continue podcasting like I currently am. Hopefully you guys will all hear from me again some day in a professional capacity. Rest assured I will be reading the forums and chatting with Dan & Richard on a regular basis.

To keep the new site going I have found a veteran gamer who you is rather new to the site. Rafe is a skilled tournament player who has been doing this for years. He too has a degree in game design and really knows his stuff. Heck, half of what I write is passed on from him anyway! He won’t be able to write an article a day, so the articles will be coming on a less scheduled basis. Expect 3 to 5 a week, but not in any particular order.

Hopefully I can squeeze in one last webcast before I relocate to my new job, but it will be soon. Very soon. I’ll still be around for a few days, maybe a week maybe two. I’ll have to go soon, however. Gotta be a professional… damn it.

Man… I’m gonna miss all this. I’m gonna miss it a lot. Wow, I just don’t have the words. Thank you all so much for listening to me rant and rave. I can’t tell you how much the success of this show has meant to me. My recent opportunities are very much tied to this site and the webcast. None of this would have been possible without you guys. I can’t express my appreciation properly.

Just so everyone knows I’m going to be visiting Minnesota for a couple days. I’m flying out in a few hours and I won’t return till Thursday night. So if you post responses or such I won’t be here to give them the OK. I also won’t be here to update the “latest donor”.

The next two articles are written so that shouldn’t be an issue as they update automatically. I just won’t be able to approve comments till I return. This weeks show is in the can and everything SHOULD run without a hitch.

WISH ME LUCK! Oh man oh man oh man. This is a really important trip for those who know what I’m talking about! Ok I’m done being excited. See you all in a couple days!

We are in the process of updating everything. If you are still visiting the libsyn site… well stop it… our new site at Dicelikethunder.com is awesome.

We also have a new RSS feed available. So look over to the right there and update your RSS feed. We are doing some infrastructure changes soon. We are hopefully going to be able to transition easily but bear with us please!
