Thank you! We do intend to.

Thank you very much for those great podcasts!!

You are off to a great start! I'm looking forward to hearing more.

I really enjoyed listening to the first episode. Please keep making them!

How often will new episodes be coming out? Will it be once a month/twice a month? Will it require us to perform a dark ritual to help you all do more episodes?

Slowing down the process of time will assist.

Our intent is every 2 weeks.

Is it just me or is the feed not offering up Episode 1? Not the live-play, I can see that one. I've deleted and re-added the feed and I'm still not seeing it.

Yeah, I had the same problem with iTunes.

I just listened to the direct RSS Feed...

Hm, I'm using another podcast app and I directly input the link to the rss feed, still no joy. I guess I can go about doing it the way our caveman ancestors did and directly download the podcast.

I found two RSS URLs, and only one of them has both episodes in the list. The RSS link in the first posting of this thread is working for me.

Whatever issue I had seems to have resolved itself. I deleted and re-added the feed and now I see both episodes. At least the internet is working as it should for a little while longer.

This is an issue I caused when I updated the RSS to a more permanent location. iTunes just took a while to process the change. A thousand apologies for that. I never realised that you just have the one RSS for all of the episodes. It’s a steep learning curve for me, so please be patient with our in-experience. We can only get better.

No sweat! I just wanted to report the issue. Everyone was new once!

Just started listening, @GM Hooly. Happy to be sorta-name dropped re: Flanno's name ( :D ) and to hear people answer the question of "how are you?" with "well", and not "good". That answer to the question bugged me, since you're not being asked if you've forsaken a moral life for one of murder and theft; you're being asked if you are well or unwell.

The production values on this are fantastic and you guys should know you're doing great work. Big fan!

I’m worried you’re overthinking this ... lol

It won't be the last time either.

Oh and thank you re the production values. I work hard to get them right and am learning as quickly as I can on how to improve the quality.

ANNOUNCEMENT

Hello fans of the Podcast!

We are recording our next show this Wednesday, and we're looking for some questions regarding Genesys or anything RPG related for our Behind the Screens segment.

Have a burning question about the game? Let us know and we'll get to at least three of them on the show!

My main questions are all around the differences to Star Wars, as I‘m still reading through the Genesys rulebook.

1 - How does magic work? Is it like the Force, or radically different?

2 - What are the changes to the Vehicle Combat rules?

3 - Are there any other significant changes to the rules besides these two and the character creation?

Admittedly, I will probably find out all of this over the next week or so as I read through the book, but maybe I will actually listen to your show earlier ;)

I would also welcome a show that is dedicated to comparing the two systems. I think that would be very interesting to SW players on the fence who didn‘t get the Genesys book yet.
