Audience participation! We're testing out a new patron benefit.
🕑 Added 2020-02-19 21:28:53 +0000 UTCHello! Several have expressed interest in listening to our recording process through Discord. This would essentially give patrons the opportunity (or dark, cruel destiny) of listening to us while we're recording our conversations. It'll be completely raw, with no sound effects or music, just dudes talking.
At the end of each session or chapter, we'll check the chat and have a chance to respond to any comments, questions, or corrections. These discussions can be integrated into the final edit of the show before the outtakes, or wherever it makes sense.
As many of you know, we record our conversations well in advance of our release schedule. So, those playing along with us will get spoiled. We've completed all recording sessions for Disc 1, so we'd start doing these listening sessions for Disc 2, and if successful, on to our next game.
So, we're going to try it out! If you'd like to help, here's what you can do:
- Link your Discord to your Patreon account. Instructions can be found here.
- If you're around, show up and listen in when we record! This usually happens on a weeknight, between 8pm and 10pm Eastern Time (US). We'll release an exact time once we're all set.
- Leave comments and feedback in the chat! Let us know how the experience is, and if you think it's something that adds value.
- Laugh at how many times we actually mess up. Make fun of us!
Thanks to those of you who have already reached out to let us know your thoughts. Looking forward to trying this out.

We tried this out this past Friday. A few folks dropped by and we read the comments at the end to be incorporated into the actual episode via the "RealNet". We will announce the next recording session on Twitter and Discord. -Chris
I think this is a great idea! I'm not sure how often i'll be able to participate (nights are usually reserved for the wife or my own gaming time) but i'll keep this in mind in case i'm ever free
