 September 13, 2009 - 5:11pm | Good job. I could tell that you wrote it all out in advance. That made it very easy to listen to. I've listened to several podcasts from others and I seem to always end up making the following suggestions:
 View my profile for a list of articles I have written, am writing, will write. "It's yo' mama!" —Wicket W. Warrick, Star Wars Ep. VI: Return of the Jedi "That guy's wise." —Logray, Star Wars Ep.VI: Return of the Jedi Do You Wanna Date My Avatar? - Felicia Day (The Guild) |
September 13, 2009 - 5:31pm | Yep, that one was prescripted. Future ones probably won't be nearly as much, although I am planning on a general plan as you suggest. General topics to discuss, questions to ask, etc. I agree on the length, I don't really want them going on that long either. Dead air is not really a problem, the wonders of modern digitial editing can eliminate a lot of that. The trick is to keep the transitions smooth. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Ad Astra Per Ardua!

 September 13, 2009 - 9:34pm | Nicely done and thank you for the shout out and plug for my game. As side from the fact yours is the first podcast I've ever listened to, you are now my favorite Podcast host! I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
 September 14, 2009 - 6:55am | Tom, good job. +1 You're voice is smooth and swarmy. Consider reading some of BOLD text from the modules: 1. The Into Story's (with a "beep" turn the page) 2. The "Read this to the Players" text - so I just hit play on my CD-player.  "Void Jump Complete" That was awesome! Can I get a .wav of that to put on my computer? Lastly, consider a longer intro (music?). |
 September 14, 2009 - 8:37am | Good start Tom. I'll be waiting for the next podcast... At least I got to scare an alien rabbit thingy...... |
September 14, 2009 - 9:17am | I haven't had a chance really to look for a music intro. I'm open to suggestions. What do you want the .wav of? The "void jump complete" part? That shouldn't be a problem at all. Ad Astra Per Ardua!

September 14, 2009 - 9:51am | What do you want the .wav of? The "void jump complete" part? That shouldn't be a problem at all. Oh ya! Some say, "Engage!" (Star Trek) Some say, "Oh ya? Watch this!", "Let me guess, no lightspeed?" (Star Wars) We say "Void Speed!"...after days of sub-light acceleration.  |

September 14, 2009 - 12:43pm | I like the void jump audio, but it needs to be much louder. It should probably be just a notch louder than your voice.

September 14, 2009 - 1:27pm | Though, you might add some kind of space opera music behind it or after it. "Void jump complete" would be great at the end of the episode.

 September 14, 2009 - 10:15pm | Great job, especially flying solo for this one. My only recommendation is that when you're pronouncing URLs out loud, you probably don't need to say "aitch tee tee pee colon double forward slash", since "http://" is generally assumed for all URLs. Save yourself some time and awkwardness that way. Other than that, I'm really looking forward to the next episode. This will be the first podcast I follow regularly instead of grabbing just isolated episodes! If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe. -- Carl Sagan |
 September 15, 2009 - 9:42am | Wow great! You should probably have conversations with all of us, that way you have enough material for a year's worth of podcasts and you can broadcast regularly and establish a listener base. Detailed review of the StarFrontiersman would be another option. I actually DID issue #1 in recording, but I did not really like it... To many "uhhhs"... |
September 15, 2009 - 10:36am | I would love to talk on the show with you about some campaigns and things... Imperial would be GREAT at this! Brian... NO REMARKS ABOUT PHONE CALLS AND HOTEL LOBBIES! (ut-oh.. did I just open up a can of w00t?)You should probably have conversations with all of us, that way you have enough material for a year's worth of podcasts and you can broadcast regularly and establish a listener base. Pre-record is a good idea. You can cut-n-paste for the podcast, add new content or replay an oldie but goodie. Detailed review of the StarFrontiersman would be another option. I actually DID issue #1 in recording, but I did not really like it... To many "uhhhs"... What did you cover? Send me the transcript. |
September 15, 2009 - 11:33am | "Oldies but goodies" don't really work well on podcasts, since people already have access to the oldie.

September 15, 2009 - 11:36am | I like the void jump audio, but it needs to be much louder. It should probably be just a notch louder than your voice. I said this wrong. What I meant was, turn your voice up in the void jump audio to be a tad louder than your regular voice for the rest of the podcast. The ship is already loud enough. Your voice is just too soft for the engine noise. View my profile for a list of articles I have written, am writing, will write. "It's yo' mama!" —Wicket W. Warrick, Star Wars Ep.

 September 15, 2009 - 7:17pm | First Podcast I ever listened to, all the way to the end. It held my interest all the way through. Shorter is better than longer. After about 15 minutes I begin to twitch. After 30 minutes...forget it. I look forward to listening again. Best of Luck |
 September 16, 2009 - 5:45pm | I listened to your podcast, nice job Terl. I have to admit I am looking forward to other podcasts. This holds much promise for SF and the like. |

October 17, 2009 - 4:51pm | fyi if you link to the forums before logging in on them you can vote for the choose your own adventure action then once you log in you can vote a second time. (You should invalidate my vote for option # 2) I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
October 17, 2009 - 5:23pm | I didn't think of trying that . I made it so guests could vote since I didn't want to limit people from voting who had never been to the site before, but maybe I should just allow registered voters. We'll just see how it goes.

October 17, 2009 - 5:41pm | well just use honor system for the regular users that they wont vote twice- Its more important to bring newbies in so that the gravitational pull of singularity we inhabit can get a grip on them.

October 17, 2009 - 5:44pm | Exactly, that's why I did it the way I did. Ad Astra Per Ardua! My blog - Expanding Frontier Webmaster - The Star Frontiers Network & this site Founding Editor - The Frontier Explorer Magazine Managing Editor - The Star Frontiersman Magazine |
