Addressing listener feedback from the past few shows, we revisit unique fantasy settings and how game communities try to bring balance in unbalanced games.

The Daily Mail!

Except not daily. And not mail. However, I collected a few comments from recent episodes to address in a listener feedback session. We touch on some great examples of Wild West RPGs, getting back to YouTube and draw parallels between Dark Souls and Destiny PvP. We also run through a quick update for Q4 of 2016.


Listener Feedback: Thanks for the Asist

Several episodes ago I floated the idea of adding another episode each week. Upon mulling, I don’t think it would work. Doing an extra episode might stretch things a bit too thin and steal time that could be invested elsewhere, as talked about below. To keep up with listener feedback, I’ll do a show like this one every couple months as comments and ideas come in. There’s also the option to append a feedback segment to the end of each show.


YouTube, Ho!

Instead of adding another show to the podcast rotation, I’m thinking I’ll utilize the time to create YouTube videos. The podcast is going well; meanwhile, the YouTube channel lies dormant. Parlaying some of the momentum from this show, I’d like to give YouTube another try and implement a similar weekly release cadence.
