  • Stream improvements

    In reviewing the video for the last Carrion Crown stream, I was dismayed to discover that the audio was rather poor. In general, the volume was too low. My own voice was passable and could be understood, and some of the players were quiet but still workable. About half the table though was effectively speaking…

  • The Skipping Song

    Historically, nursery rhymes have always been a bit creepy – there are plenty of times where fairly horrible events eventually became children’s songs, echoed thru the generations. The Carrion Crown campaign takes advantage of this, and uses a similar pattern to provide clues and context to the historical events of the story. Long before, there…

  • Streaming content

    At this point, I am comfortable with our streaming schedule and the content itself – we have successfully streamed several sessions, including 2 of our Extinction Curse and 1 of our Carrion Crown campaigns. Certainly there are still technical challenges to be had, but the content itself is solid. These are published directly to YouTube,…

  • Final Tech Test stream

    Scheduled a final technology test, utilizing our Extinction Curse campaign, for this coming Sunday, 2 PM to 7 PM EST. This is an unlisted YouTube live stream, not looking for a larger audience, but I am eager to hear about any feedback both pro and con with the configuration. My bigger concern is really at…

  • Stream Technical Test

    With my professional life in IT support, I have a desire to test and verify all technology, especially when it is new – or at least a new process. To that end, I am planning on scheduling a pre-campaign live stream to test the configuration, tools, and options. Consider it a Session 0 for the…

  • Live streaming

    With our new campaign, we will be trying a new format on the gaming video archives, and attempting to live stream the various games. This has some advantages – not only is the content available immediately, but we can also conceivable interact with any audience. In addition, a major benefit is that I don’t need…

  • Return of the video content

    At long last, I have started recording our game sessions again, and editing them for YouTube. We are currently running a very fun and exciting (at least for the players) campaign set in the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay (4th edition) system, which I am using for my efforts. So far, I have the first session completed,…

  • Pathfinder Campaigns

    I haven’t posted in a while about our ongoing (and still active) Pathfinder campaigns, primarily due to our move and the discontinuing of the video archive. Both adventure paths are still active and alive, despite being entirely virtual these days – a state we are hoping to change once the new house is done. For…
