New world campaign

[TigerStorm]

No Mr. Bond, I expect you to die.

I'll have what she's having...

[Kroack]

I need to thank you guys for the New World.  I'm running a varient of it for my players (I've thrown in extreme evangelical Bahamet worshipping Kobolds and a steel dragon that's slowing trying to take over the colony).  Between the 3 of them they have a half century of RP experience.   I on the other hand have been playing since the summer of 06.  Just aping what you guys do has my players so enthralled that they're ignoring my total lack of GM skills.  I want to have them listen to the show so they hear the insanity that is you people...but that would ruin the game.  Once they hit paragon I'll tell them which ones they can listen to.  : )

And they also don't work for people who are jerks.

awesome! I'm glad you're able to run a great campaign. Just so you guys know, the primer has over 12,000 downloads so far and the goblin hulk has over 10,000 downloads - not counting third party torrent sites - and to give you some perspective on numbers in the rpg community - take a look here http://www.deadlyfredly.com/2010/01/evil-hat-sales-2009-observations/ a top seller on rpgnow.com will get a few hundred in sales - freebies are different obviously but I'm pretty pleased with the response so far.

Ross, I'll most definitely buy any New World shit from rpgnow.com. I'd buy it even if they were lower quality than the freebies.

So there's been talk of a fight between some of the new world players.  Any details on this?

I'm imagining Cody softly talking down Bill who has a knife to Tom's throat, while Mike lay bleeding on the floor.  But I could be wrong...

[clockworkjoe]

Bill and Mike disagree on various things at various points.

Don't want to spoil it beyond that.


As for selling New World material on rpgnow.com - I think the ransom model works better overall for now. I'm certainly happy with it. I will raise the amount of the ransom next time though

You'll almost have to with me writing so much on it.

[Tadanori Oyama]

You'll almost have to with me writing so much on it.

Ah, I see how it is. Dr. Walker doesn't come cheap, eh? Gotta raise those funds to get the quality C. "Wilt Chamberlain" Walker work, eh?

[Mckma]

Enjoyed the new episode.  I'm honestly a little jealous sometimes when I listen because the group I game with would much rather beat the minotaur's head in in a rather tedious combat than attempt something as amusing as you all did.

[rayner23]

I love when we bullshit our way through things. The idea of pulling off a big lie to this Minotaur is just funny as hell to me.

The sentence "And may you bathe in the blood of virgins and babies too" is hilarious when you say it with a polite and nonchalant voice as if this is just a standard greeting between two friends.

As if it is? You mean you don't normally greet your friends that way? hmmm... I may need to re-examine who my friends are.

[Kroack]

Wish granted! New marketing makes every national holiday and weekend Christmas. Happy X-mas 23! You will now be working extra hours to pay for the backlog of presents you owe your family and friends.

I wish I could hear the New World episodes 23 - 30 (odd) that have been played but not posted.

I just want to know how many New World sessions are there currently?

[clockworkjoe]

I think about 10

[Sean-o-tron]

I don't know how you do it, Ross.  If I had as large of a backlog of APs as you've told us you do, I would get way too impatient with a once-a-week release schedule.

[clockworkjoe]

I don't know how you do it, Ross.  If I had as large of a backlog of APs as you've told us you do, I would get way too impatient with a once-a-week release schedule.

yeah but it takes effort to encode, upload and post a new episode.

Ugh.


Effort.

It also takes like... four fucking hours of uninterrupted computer processing time. IF it doesn't crash. :[

[nbneil]

What the hell are you guys doing over there?  4 hours to encode and upload an episode seems pretty long.  You should upgrade from that 386 Ross. 

As a reference, it takes me less than an hour to edit anything out, add intro/outro, level sound, reduce the volume on a few select bits, save as MP3 from WAV, and edit ID3 tags.  (uploading can take over an hour if the interweb is going slowly)

Just wondered what else I'm missing here.  I feel like I should be doing a hell of a lot more stuff with my podcast if it's supposed to take that long.
