On their journey our friends come to a new little township, and are thusly provided with the opportunity to procure new objects. Yup. It's a shopping episode. I hope that it's silly enough to keep you entertained through the haggling with new strangers. And if not, well, we won't be shopping again for a while, so take solace in that. 

Also, this happens...

PODCAST PLANS

Okay, so I'm going to level with you. Something we haven't talked about is the timeline of Playing/recording vs. Releasing. We started this game back at the end of November 2016. We didn't release the podcast until the beginning of March. Chapter 8 was recorded back in February, before the Podcast was even up and running. We just finished playing our 12th session, which, since most sessions make 3 episodes, means we're currently looking at a 3 month delay. You're probably wondering, "Why?". Because I want our podcast to sound better than just hitting record. I put time into editing out long gaps of looking up rules, side conversations about food and booze, and other just nonsensical garbage. I also clean up the audio- 6 mics next to each other sound pretty echoey and terrible due to picking up each other's sound. I take the time because I want it to sound good. Also. by breaking up the sessions into parts, we can provide a constant stream of content. Our game just took a month and a half break due to vacations and scheduling conflicts but you'd never know because we'll be delivering every Monday without interruption. My goal is to get through editing the backlog of sessions, and be able to release bonus episodes til we get to about the 2 month delay mark. That way, should another one of these long breaks happen we will have a cushion to absorb that missing time, and then if we have an excess of content, we're not sitting on it and hoarding it, but we can share it with you, our loyal listener. Anyway, that's the ideal situation, but we'll see how long it takes to get there. I've got to get more efficient at editing first if I wanna get my way through the mountain of audio bearing down on me to catch up to where we are now.

Thanks for reading. Thanks for listening. You are great. 

Talk to you next Monday.

I totally lied. Last week I said it would be a while before we went over 90 minutes. This week's episode clocks in at over 100 minutes. Though I'm sure I could have gone in with a scalpel and pulled out that last few minutes of audio, I don't think it'd be worth it. I'm hoping to settle back into the 90 minute episode swing next chapter. I had this episode edited last week! But I went on a mini-vacation so ended up doing the up-til-sunrise final touches anyway. Gonna get the next one in the can early in the week so I can try to make some headway on the recordings. 

Also, when I'm in a really good mood, I have a tendency to sing. There is quite a bit of singing throughout this chapter. 

Other than that, Thanks for listening, have a Happy Memorial Day, and we'll be back next week with more Adventure!

This brings an end to one of my favorite chapters, and certainly one of the most memorable sessions of D&D I've played. We're down a Gina and an Alyssa this episode, so I didn't really know what would end up happening, I kind of figured it'd just be hanging out around Ygg, just doing some world building and lore stuff. Joey, Paul, and Elly all stepped up and delved into some character stuff, as well as having one of the absolutely silliest ideas we've yet seen in our game. I don't want to ruin the surprise, so I won't, but I will say that we laughed a whole hell of a lot when we made this episode. Which may be a contributing factor as to why the episode is so long. It is our longest episode to date, clocking in at an hour 45. I don't really like them to run longer than 90 minutes, so hopefully it'll be a while before this happens again. But I felt like the last episode ended in a good spot, and I didn't want to adjust the beginning of this one to the end of that one, if that makes sense. Anyway. It's a very mellow, silly episode after weeks of stress and fighting. Enjoy!

Okay. With all the nuts and bolts of marketing out of the way, we can talk about what's going on this week. And surprise! It's a confrontation with that scary weirdo who killed and burned all of his friends! And I'm sure you can intuit from the title of the episode, it goes very well for everybody. This was the episode I think the players realized that bad things can happen to them. Not just goofy, inconvenient stuff. But actual, story changing, life-threatening choices can be made. And though their characters are strong, they are not all powerful and still have a lot of learning to do. And on my side of the screen, I think the encounter was somewhat more dynamic than they have been in the past. I'm hoping that trend toward more interesting staging and environmental interactions will lead to a better listening experience. Only time will tell. Anyway. Enjoy the episode! It's a little scary. But it'll all be fine... Probably. 

Until Next Week,

I know it looks like a nonsense word, but it does mean something in the context of this world, and you'll be clued in less than halfway through the episode. I actually managed to get this edit done prior to the weekend, which hopefully means I'm starting to dial in to this process and will be able to continue to deliver the podcast on-time without staying up til sunrise the day of trying to get it finished. 

As far as story stuff goes, I'm really excited about this chapter. I'm fond of every part of this chapter and cannot wait to share it with you. 

Until next week,
