If you want an audio program that I think is almost as robust as Audacity (and free), you can check out NCH's WavePad Audio Editor which is completely free.  The only thing it can't do without paying for the upgrade is add audio tags.  However, you can just go to iTunes and edit them there.  I still only use the free version of WavePad to record and edit my regular game sessions.  SoundTap has been perfect for the Skype games.  Hope it helps.

Yep.  It just records as a .wav or .mp3 depending on what format you want to record in.  I record as .wav, do all my editing, then convert to .mp3 at the very end.  I don't think it makes much difference though.

I have had the same problem multiple times with Audacity.  The Skype solutions suck.  The only thing I have found to work is using SoundTap Streaming Audio Recorder.  The Rogue Trader games on NerdBound are recorded using the software.  It's very stable and other than Skype cutting out, it hasn't failed yet.  It can be tricky to work out the kinks as to which program is started first and what settings you have in place.  But it's the only way I can have my out-of-town group members play.  No I don't work for NCH.  I just love their recording products.

Uh you rolled a critical success on your first roll, no apologies necessary. This is the type of crew I've been looking for.  That's so fucking awesome.

OOC: I typed the following before Shotgun's post, so to not have to retype

IC: Do what you can. The lack of corpses is unnatural and I'd like to know what I'm up against.  I'm not about to lose good men for a ghost ship.

If it seems clear:

Start with the men looking for physical objects, but I order them not to destroy any vital components.  If they can't find anything, then I'll have Dom take a group of men (20) to investigate the ship's computer to scour the records for what happened.  Lorrayne and I will stay with a small contingent of men near the lander (assuming we can get Dom's vox signals).  In the event of an emergency, Lorrayne and I will take all but 10 men with us to help out and extract the remaining crew to the lander.

If it is warp-tainted:

Recommendations from Lorrayne, Dom, and Carin will be considered before acting.

We'll head back to the lander. If nothing out of the ordinary happens, I order the men there to sweep the ship and stay in constant contact. The crew with us currently will stay with us to protect the lander and their retreat if necessary.

Thought I would try to jump start this thread since our next Skype session seems to be gaining momentum. If you want to abstract it more like Ross does in the New World games that's fine too. We could describe our overall goals and strategy based on your questions and build from there. Macro over micromanagement and such. What do you think Tad?

You can't win for losing. Maybe some day.

Also, I guess I'll watch my back in any dark alleys. It's the price of internet fame. Worth it.

Wait, did you fill out his group too? Goddamnit. Though I was number four when he had two spots left. If you were in before that, I am technically stalking you. By the end of this we can create our own podcast "shotgun and neil's best friends forever accidental gaming group actual play podcast" or SANBFFAGGAPP to be concise.

I'm already tentatively in 4 games, so I think I am good for now. That'll be hard enough to coordinate. But I can't make it to Cons, so it's worth it.

That's it, I'm taking back Dom's robot arms. You can't stop me. Instead one arm will be a wisk and the other a slide whistle.
