First I Was Afraid: Experiences As A First-Time GM

noreply@blogger.com (Jon Taylor) — Sun, 11 Sep 2011 21:08:00 +0100

It's all in your hands

Well, it's been a good few months since I finally sat down and ran my first role playing session as a GM. Despite this, I wanted to write a little something about how I prepared and how I thought it all went.

The post title says it all - I was petrified. It's a scary thing to think that the enjoyment of the players rests in your hands, and that if you don't do a good job everyone will just get bored. I think it's pretty natural to feel this way when coming into this kind of thing for the first time. Keeping everybody entertained is quite a bit of responsibility - and it all rests on you.

It turns out this was totally wrong.

Dark Heresy Podcast - Episode 10

noreply@blogger.com (Jon Taylor) — Mon, 9 May 2011 12:46:00 +0100

And finally, here is episode 10 in the tale of our intrepid acolytes. It's a bit late again, since the whole thing with BattleScribe's notice of infringement took up most of my attention over the last week or so. I decided to put my efforts into developing new version which would help users share data files amongst themselves, since I had to take down the website hosting data files.

Still, the good news is that after spending some more time messing around with Audacity, I've figured out a much less manual process for editing the podcast. This should mean I can get them fixed up and released with much less time and effort than previously, so hopefully no more weeks with missing episodes...
