Pack Dynamics -
After seven horrific months as a POW, Army Ranger-turned-PI Ben Lockwood just wants a safe, boring life. With his boss on vacation, he takes what looks like an easy case of pharmaceutical espionage he can work from his desk.
Now he's caught in a three-way collision course between a ruthless werewolf on the hunt for a cure for his dying vampire wife, a mad scientist whose multinational company doesn't even research supernatural medicine--and himself. Ben's nanotech-injected blood holds the key to the vampire's recovery, and the werewolf doesn't much care if he lives or dies in the harvesting.
Ben thought he was done fighting wars when he got home from Afghanistan, but his hard-won sanity and his girlfriend's life are both at risk. He'd rather die than lose either. The battle lines are drawn in a billionaire's basement, and retreat isn't an option. No matter how outgunned he is.

The Flux
Love something enough, and your obsession will punch holes through the laws of physics. That devotion creates unique magics: videogamemancers. Origamimancers. Culinomancers.
But when ‘mancers battle, cities tremble…
ALIYAH TSABO-DAWSON: The world’s most dangerous eight-year-old girl. Burned by a terrorist’s magic, gifted strange powers beyond measure. She’s furious that she has to hide her abilities from her friends, her teachers, even her mother – and her temper tantrums can kill.
PAUL TSABO: Bureaucromancer. Magical drug-dealer. Desperate father. He’s gone toe-to-toe with the government’s conscription squads of brain-burned Unimancers, and he’ll lie to anyone to keep Aliyah out of their hands – whether Aliyah likes it or not.
THE KING OF NEW YORK: The mysterious power player hell-bent on capturing the two of them. A man packing a private army of illegal ‘mancers.
Paul’s family is the key to keep the King’s crumbling empire afloat. But offering them paradise is the catalyst that inflames Aliyah’s deadly rebellious streak…

The Dungeon Crawlers Radio teams welcomes the creators of the Pulsar RPG thats available on Kickstarter now.
Pulsars is a tabletop role playing game set in a universe where dedicated soldiers gain access to powered suits of armor that grant them strange and phenomenal abilities. These soldiers, known as Pulsars, take on the forces of the great Enemy and his minions in a struggle to protect the galaxy.
In the game, you are a member of the Pulsar Corps: a line of galactic defenders who are humanity's best chance for survival in a war that has waged for over a century. As a Pulsar, you are given a Suit, an amazing piece of technology that allows for one person to stand against a legion of foes and increases their physical and mental abilities. The Suit will exemplify whatever made you exceptional before, turning you into an epic level defender of the galaxy. 
A warrior becomes even faster and stronger, their weapons become more accurate. A crime scene investigator has their Suit hardwired directly into their brain, allowing them to analyze evidence found at a crime scene instantaneously as well as having multiple databases downloaded into their brain for information. A field surgeon may have a suit that automatically sterilizes the environment and can produce simple compounds to aid in healing wounds, or generate the tools needed to treat broken bones.

Join the Dungeon Crawlers Radio team as they welcome special guest author R.A. Salvatore to the show as part of Wizards of the Coast book tour for "Archmage".
The pall that had descended over the North is gone, and a new day has dawned on a victorious Mithral Hall, but no matter how bright things seem on the surface, Drizzt and his companions know that what lurks just under their feet remains steeped in evil and charged with unimaginable power.
 
The dark elves of Menzoberranzan, including the powerful Archmage Gromph, aren’t done with Drizzt yet. And consumed by their own power struggles, feeling backed into a corner, the drow may just be desperate enough to call on demonic forces from the deepest reaches of the Abyss, and unleash a disaster even the Underdark could never have prepared for.
 
Archmage has everything Drizzt’s fans crave: action, adventure, characters that resonate with equal measures of warrior spirit and deep compassion, and no shortage of wicked dark elves!
