Hey all, I know I’d mentioned on Discord that I was going to have a cast up today. Unfortunately, I’ve been stricken low with a headcold that’s resulted in me having, essentially, a rasp for a voice. In the it hurts to talk kind of way. Once this clears up, I’ll be cutting and uploading a new episode.
Sorry for the delay!

So, this week, I blather on for a while about microtransactions, MUDs, and the inherent good, evil, and selling-your-soul-ness of supporting monetizing a game/monetizing your game. Is there such a thing as ethical microtransactions? Let me know what you think, via email, comment, or discord.

Hey everyone, it’s Tark’s first review in a while! I’ve been playing Darkwind for a few weeks now when I’ve found the time to do so, and it’s the first LPMUD that I can say that I’ve been having a blast with. The staff is great, the players are super awesome and helpful to my noob self, and overall it’s a great game. It does, of course, have a few shortcomings that are covered in the review.
Also, my first official reading of fan correspondence at the start of the episode. Melissa is a wonderful person, and you can be sure that I’ll be taking her game for a spin once she opens it up.
One more thing! I’m looking for a graphic designer to spruce up the logo. Get in touch with me if that’s something you’d be interested in. I’ll pay you in exposure! And money!

What the title says. In my awesome “I’m prepared and ready to do this, go me!” I forgot to actually upload the audio files. I blame my children. But it’s in the last post, and it’s in this post!

This episode is mostly concerned about what to do when you don’t really have a player base for your MUD. Anything from scaling zones to mob party members that behave more like other players, something has to exist in your game that keeps people playing even when there’s no one else home.

So, pretty simple episode this week. Just some talk about attracting, and possibly keeping, players. It’s really all kind of general stuff that’s probably been said a lot of times before, but I like to think I gave a fairly unique twist to it.

That’s right, after WAAAAAAAAY too long of a hiatus, I’m back and spitting out episodes. Feels good to record, and as I’m going to actually get back to playing MUDs again, that’s going to feel good too.
Pretty lazy editing for this episode, so I apologize for any word fumbles and the like, but I’m just trying to get these up and out. Speaking of up and out, I’m bad at social media, as I’m sure anyone who’s looked at our social media content can tell. If you’re interested in being a twitter/facebook/take your pick guru that I can lean on to take care of that aspect of things for me, please by all means shoot me an email. I can promise lots of work for zero compensation, other than the warm fuzzies that you’ll get knowing that you are the driving force behind the podcast even being on Twitbook.

Today, I spend some time talking about the relationships between MUD administrators and players. Hopefully, both sides are angry at me!

It’s what the title says. I apologize for what I’m sure is a bit of kid noise and doggo barking in the background. Didn’t really take the time to get that all edited out. But, a cast! Edits will come in as I listen to it again and remember to add those links I mentioned!
