This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Community Podcast?

I'm not sure where to throw this, so I'll put it here.  Admins, feel free to move it, but beware that I will cry from shame if you do.

So here's an idea:

How about we, as a community, do a podcast?  I'd be glad to be technical dude, and we can use skype to set up interviews/diatribes with anyone interested.

We can make it sort of a soapbox, I guess.

We could even call it, The RPG Site.com Soapbox...

What do we think?

Well...

Put it this way...

The advantage of a messageboard over a podcast is that in the former we can only yell at each other sequentially, not simultaneously. :D

I think its a cool idea. The site should always be on the lookout for added content.
Running: Dogs of WAR - Beer & Pretzels & Bullets
Planning to Run: Godbound or Stars Without Number
Playing: Star Wars D20 Rev.

A lack of moderation doesn\'t mean saying every asshole thing that pops into your head.

Can you say "twatmonkey" in a podcast?
Employment Counselor: So what do you like to do outside of work?
Oblivious Gamer: I like to play games: wargames, role-playing games.
EC: My cousin killed himself because of role-playing games.
OG: Jesus, what was he playing? Rifts?
--Fear the Boot

i guess somebody would listen to it.  hell, if the animalball fellers do it, why not this place?

personally, i don't bother with podcasts.  maybe when the day comes that i upgrade from dial-up, but not now.

More than once even.

Of course, our podcast would have to be uncensored, in keeping with the site's philosophy.

Then I say saddle up, you glorious twatmonkies!

The guy doing the tech legwork should be also have a rough concept of who is going to argue over what.

I think the idea is pretty rad!

If one of you guys brings the camera or recording equipment to GenCon - you could get me to comment or record there.

There wouldn't be a camera involved.  I do have recording equipment, though.  Would anybody be interested in a pastiche show, as a test?  I can easily get some of us at GenCon.

I can't really participate in a live type recording with others (I'm on dial-up at home), but if someone can advise on hardware and software I could maybe do an editorial or something, then pass the file along to an editor.

Right on! This could be a great idea. Mix up conversations with single speaker submissions. Even I'd be willing to try and contribute.

It'd be like a fanzine!  We can have an audio table of contents at the beginning of the file!
