06 Jul 2022 | Feed Update | 00:02:50 | |
Welcome to Roll to Meddle. We have a slight change to the show coming within the next week. We are going to be adding additional actual play episode to the feed outside of the Brindlewood bay focus. Brindlewood bay is the focus and will continue to be but, from time to time we have scheduling conflicts. The rearrangement of the feed will go like this: Season 1 will be everything Brindlewood Bay. We will continue the campaign, playing through official, unofficial, and experimental mysteries. The goal is to release those episodes weekly but, you know, sometimes we will miss a week or two. We are starting Season 2 of the feed. This is where the bonus episodes and non-Brindlewood Bay actual play episodes will live. The majority of those will have some combination of Mary, Holland and Willow along with a revolving cast of guests. Season 2 actual plays will have a lighter edit, and more often than not will be mysteries or at least mysterious. We intend to have one bonus actual play a month, running 1-4 episodes each, whatever makes sense. So, Season 1 and Season 2 will both be updated regularly, often within the same week. We think that by breaking these into seasons, your feed will be easy to sort and find what you’re looking for. That rearranging will be done by mid-July. Right in time for the second half of Our Ladies of Safe Harbor, the four-part Dream House scenario, and the debut of our first for real sponsor with ads so Roll to Meddle you’ll be surprised that they actually let us do this. Have a safe July, and we’ll talk to you soon. | |||
