Grayskull is the first episode in a short audio series telling the story behind the upcoming Narrative Event that will be run at Gencon 2017 by the Shuttle Tydirium Podcast. If you’re attending Gencon 2017 and want to take part in this X-wing miniatures narrative event, make sure you buy your tickets early – space is limited. Event registration begins on May 28.

I had put this in Off Topic, but it will get more attention here.

I just had a listen, and it's fantastically well-done. I encourage everyone on these forums to give it run.

It is Brilliantly done.

Now, get me your squadron colours so i can rename and paint my x wings for funsies. lol

With a name like "Attack on Grayskull Base," is there a pilot named Skeletor on the attacking team?

Haha, you'll have to listen to all four episodes to find out

"BY THE POWER OF GRAYSKULL!"

Seriously, first thought that popped into my head.

I'll have to try and get a listen in when I am not at work.

This one is only 21 minutes.

That was great, guys. As much as you bring to the casual side of x-wing podcasting, this may be your true calling.

Thanks! After we started doing the dramatic readings of missions, we joked that we were going to turn the podcast into an audio drama. I think both Phil and Jbot have scripts ready to go. The only downside for me with the audio is that I don't really do any of the real work. I don't have time to edit any of the sounds.

Will this be a weekly release until GenCon?

You guys are amazing

Weekly? Oh, I wish we could edit that fast! Or is it called 'Post Production work"? It takes quite a bit to work on each one. We have recorded episode 2 and 3, but not 4. There are only 4 episodes. They will be done by the time GenCon registration opens.

Hopefully! Production time for the first episode was quite a long time, but I think we'll be cranking out the next episodes a little faster. The aim is to get all four out by May 28.

Sounds good! I have greedy ears that were begging for more content. Now at least we have a time-table.

I know it takes a lot of time & effort. It is really appreciated. Thanks for the entertainment!

That was, in fact, unbelievably cool. Can't wait to see where it goes!

Without giving anything away, I can say that the next episode has.... less exposition
