Message: <blockquote data-quote="Steel_Wind" data-source="post: 5279379" data-attributes="member: 20741">Thanks for the kind words.  As for future episodes, our immediate plans underwent some changes as a result of Gencon and listener feedback received at Indy.    A lot of listeners indicated they were interested in hearing about Council of Thieves,  but there seemed to be a lot more immediate interest in hearing about Kingmaker *RIGHT NOW*, too. This is especially so given that the sixth volume of Kingmaker was released at Gencon and some GMs who had deferred running the Kingmaker campaign until it was complete are now chomping at the bit to get started.    It’s always about the “new thing”, rarely about the old thing. And right now, Kingmaker is new and Council of Thieves is “old.”   So what we plan to do is cover each of the six volumes of Council of Thieves and the six volumes of Kingmaker in alternating “Adventure Path” episodes of the podcast. So we’ll do Bastards of Erebus (CoT #1) in one episode, then a stand alone module in the next episode, then Stolen Lands (Kingmaker #1) in the next episode, then another stand alone module, then Six-Fold Trial (Cot #2), another stand alone, back to Kingmaker #2... You get the idea.   The reason we don't want to do all 6 volumes of an Adventure Path one after the other like we did with the Price of Immortality Trilogy relates to the speed of our own Adventure Path based home campaigns. Reading the module with a reviewer’s eye while looking for continuity and XP issues is helpful to listeners; however, we believe listeners appreciate the additional insight that personal experience provides when running and playing the module. In order to get that personal experience some listeners value, we need the time to progress in our Council of Thieves and Kingmaker campaigns (of which there are 2 of each currently underway among the hosts).  Alternating Council of Thieves and Kingmaker reviews every other episode allows us to do both in a more timely fashion, while still giving us enough time to finish running them. At least -- that’s the hope, We’ll see how it works out in practice.   With respect to the specific question – we plan to devote an episode to each volume in a given AP. So there will be six episodes devoted to Council of Thieves and six to Kingmaker. If we find that’s too much time spent on just one AP, we’ll adjust our plans and trim them.  Hmm. Not a bad idea, but I think we’ll have to leave something like that into our second year at least. I’m not sure our collective opinions on that subject right now are sufficiently informed – or at least as informed as they could (and should) be before we try something like that.</blockquote>
