I would like to welcome everyone to RPGamer Roundtables and to my first time acting as moderator. This section has long been dormant, but it was decided to restart it with me at the helm. To kick things off, we invited a very special guest, Steven Carlton from NIS America and around double the usual number of panelists. Future Roundtables will be smaller and more intimate, and I hope people will want to be on them, so be sure to look for them.
As for this week's panelists, we had:

The first topic of discussion was about localizing games and what makes a good or bad localization. The second topic was about small companies making it big and how they get there. We wrapped things up with a discussion on the future of TRPGs.
As for the meaning of the update title, there is no meaning. That's what happens when you pick an update title two hours past your bedtime. So, lets get this party started!
