Message: <blockquote data-quote="PaulofCthulhu" data-source="post: 1807355">Well, it's an interesting phenomenon. The first recording that the RPGMP3 group did was simply by accident, testing a Mini-Disc recorder with a new microphone just before an RPG Society session of <a href="http://www.rpgmp3.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownloaddetails&lid=7&ttitle=Return_To_The_Temple_Of_Elemental_Evil" target="_blank">Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil</a>. We were testing it and forgot we left it recording, I found it on the Mini Disc afterward, thought it sounded novel and later put it online. It's been downloaded thousands of times since then, so people seem to like it.It's difficult to tell why it's popular, others may be able to answer that, I personally listen to them, (not because I like the sound of my own voice) as it's like having the radio/TV/Fire in the background, something to listen to while doing other things. Some people may find it difficult to play regularly due to time or location and it's an easy way of keeping in touch with gaming. Some may even just find it entertaining (Our Half-Orc "Gerout" seems to be forming his own Fan Club already)? DMs can have fun following the Dungeon with a copy of their own WLD to hand to see how the players handle the rooms.We did a recording of Chaosium's "The Haunting" scenario and it caused people to dig it out and play again. The current WLD recording already seems to have been responsible for shifting an additional $1000+ of WLD.But our recordings are not about commercialism, we're just having a good time and thought some people might like to share in that (listen/listen not - the choice is yours). Also having 4/5 members being trained as Archaeologists always gives you that bent for recording stuff for future historical curiosity. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Paul</blockquote>
