In a week, RPG-podcast Calacon, featuring 31 players, will start publishing. I'm one of three editors on the project.

I have a post about it on my more-words blog, you can read it here. It won't tell you what happens in the show, but I've written about what it was like to make it, what I did to the files, and what kind of effort we put into it. There is also a segment on "If you would like to edit a podcast".

This is only indirectly part of the Calazcon Promotion circuit. In a more direct sense, I just wanted to write down what it was like to do this work for one and a half years, because besides this post, my voice will be basically not be noticeable in there, by design.

If you'd like to get ready for Calazcon, the first Episode is here (available in a week by the time this post publishes) or search in the podcast app on your phone for Calazcon, the feed is already up (Austin's previous game from a few years ago is documented there, don't be confused).

My actual, big blog is this wordpress. It is older than twitter. In fact, it's almost as old as world of warcraft, if this is any reference.

Most of the years of it are useless and just for me, but I have taken to writing year-in-reviews for the last few years.

If you're reading this, you are most likely aware that 1. cohost is ending and 2. that this blog exists. But I rarely advertise, so just in case you have a RSS reader and would like ca. 1 post every six months, you could add this to it.

I am also on the Fans at the Table Discord. This is not an exlusive club. We do not ask for your Friends at the Table knowledge, you can just join. It's a good place to go, if you're not there yet and enjoyed the vibes that this website had.

Merry Christmas everyone!

game design hypothesis: I think in TTRPGs, mechanics and narrative might be something that exist on a sliding scale that I can imagine like this:
Narrative [-----X-----] Mechanics
You can move the X left or right and stretch it a bit so it covers more ground, but you can't just decide that the X is now so wide that it actually covers both sides of the scale.
