Ep 153 - How to be an ST pt 2, Storycrafting with Kurt Vonnegut (he's not a guest)

Thank you.

yeah

i'm

opening that drive yeah i did not

i did

not

fucking think

i forgot with proton docs uh if you change the header on inside the doc it doesn't automatically update the header on the document i have to change those separately oh that's weird so i need to do a small fix on that but like whatever yeah

that's fine i won't notice

That's fine.

I mean...

What the fuck?

I was adjusting volume levels and I accidentally hit the soundboard.

That's my bad.

Okay.

I was like, that was like half a clap.

Yeah.

I mean, we have more of a clap.

Okay.

Hell yeah.

I feel applauded.

Yeah, you earned that.

Damn it.

Oh, man.

So.

So, yeah.

You had a proposal.

Yeah, I had a modest proposal.

Oh, I am loud.

One second.

Is that better? I think.

Yeah, that sounds better.

I

think so.

Usually we record you louder and then you balance and post.

Yeah, but I was peaking.

Oh.

So we don't

want that, though.

Yeah, so we are less than a week away from Gen Con.

there's some big world of darkness stuff happening there's some sort of announcement about the future of world of darkness happening uh there's a play test i did get into the play test so i'll be play testing whatever they're play testing new rules for vampire

wait have we been introduced yet

no we're doing the proposal first

yeah i thought we were doing that on air

and then there's the the actual play that uh sarah we're recording john

sorry i

we are on air

I very much apologize.

I thought you were saying we should talk about all of this while, like, during the episode, but I thought, sorry.

No,

you're good.

Misunderstood

what was happening.

You were in the trenches?

It was not even that.

I thought that it was like a, hey, we're going to start the show and then have an announcement or talk about a thing.

We hadn't started the show in my brain.

Does that make any sense? Yeah, I get that.

So Sarah was able to get tickets for the actual play.

The actual play is using the playtest rules, apparently.

I'm doing the actual playtest, so we'll be able to talk about that.

But unfortunately, whatever the World of Darkness roadmap is, sold out very quickly.

So I was not able to get tickets to that.

I don't think any of us were.

But if we're able to find someone who did, I'm tempted to get them a hideable recording device to record the event for me so that we can then listen to it.

If anyone wants to do industrial espionage for us.

We have a comical-sized flower that is a lapel pen.

That we will put upon you and you nary have to think about it any further.

It's

fine.

That's the cool thing about going to an event where people are allowed to cosplay.

Nothing is conspicuous.

Actually, just wearing a t-shirt and camo shorts is the conspicuous look.

In fact, you look like a narc.

Step up your thread game.

Or a Pantera fan.

Same thing a lot of the time.

Yeah, I was

going to say, I'm not sure which is worse.

But if you'd be interested in doing some industrial espionage, get a hold of me on the Discord.

Hell yeah.

If you don't want to do industrial espionage, we do have a channel in BlakeBuddy's Discord where I have a thread for taking questions to take to GenCon.

You can throw your questions there.

I'll try to corner someone and get answers.

I don't know if it'll be the right someone.

I don't know if I'll get the right answers, but I'm doing a journalism, which is my First Amendment right, while I have it.

So it's fine.

Hunter S. Thompson would be proud of me.

hell yeah cool so
