The first episode is about quest spaces and level design, and it can be seen on my blog <a href="http://designingquests.com/?p=18" rel="nofollow">here</a>.

It's also very good to see Kevin Jackson-Mead blogging, because he is a very perceptive and helpful person.

I'm at GDC and dropped by the A K Peters booth. Kevin Jackson-Mead, the editor for <i>Quests,</i> was only about a sentence into describing it before I realized what it was and knew I had to buy it. I also picked up another book about which I'll post soon. In other news, it's worth noting that Kevin has recently <a href="http://jmac.org/gameshelf/mt4/2008/02/computer-roleplaying-games.html" rel="nofollow">started blogging</a> with some other interesting folks. You beat me to the punch!
