Gamercast

What.

 

[Terrance888]

I dunno. What are we calling it? Story cast?

 

[Tyo]

Mech suggested Ponycast

[Terrance888]

Love and tolerance, bro.

That said, Ponycast is a bad idea.

 

[JohannaK]

Mech hates ponies. That's the joke.

Never Ending Podcastium

 

[JohannaK]

HAHA YOU EXPLAINED IT NOW IT'S EVEN FUNNIER

Never Ending Podcastium

Weeky dose of Truth, Order, and Friendship.

It's only 8 hours till New Year here, (Happy New Year Far East people, including Kiwis and Aussies ) and one of my New Year resolutions is to host at least an IOT game in 2013. I was doing something And I can't decide which is better:

 

[Terrance888]

2nd via recognizability and contrast.

 

[Double A]

Eyup.

I thought it was Daimyo for both singular and plural.

 

[JohannaK]

It's to clear out confusion about the number. I could put "Daimyo of Japan" and someone would say "Don't you mean Shogun?" and I prefer to avoid that.

2nd via recognizability and contrast.

This.

An ill-written ramble from chat today, on a potential "City IOT"

You'd establish yourself as an organization (political party?) - or a member of an existing organization - and play as the head (or, if joining an existing organization, whatever the head allows) of said organization. From here, you'd run for office, or set about building a power base - either is viable. Schools, businesses, religious organizations, and other programs can be established or supported to extend your power, and influence the population for - or against - you. Laws and penalties are established by the mayor and city council, though players may violate them, at the risk of being caught (though, again, ofc, the police may be bribeable, depending upon relations). Given the state of the city and it's controllers, you might range from a 3rd-world mafia-ridden hellhole to an Orwellian police state up through a tightly-controlled, well mannered RL city. Of course, for added fun, you would be able to split political parties along opposition, if multiple players in a single organization had a falling out...

Having difficulty with a map. This would be very "soft" in terms of mechanics, with the two things tracked being money and supporters.

So when are we doing Castcast? I can't do Friday or Saturday until February, but I think I can do any other day.

 

[JohannaK]

Well there is Storycast and there is Imperium Podcastium that is still somehow out there... And definitely Storycast should be much more talked about and planned and everything.

 

[Double A]

Storycast emphasizes NES more than IOT.

It should either be Stabcast, Stuffcast, or Dinosaurapocalypsecast.
