We will be RPing this Sunday. I apologize for missing this past week, we had some things come up that made doing a session impossible to do. To make up for it, this next week we are going to start things off with a bit of story time with Peanut and you really won't want to miss this. Its a tale that must be heard.

The short version:


Also this week will be our Epilogue episode for Season 1. This campaign will be going on hiatus for a while so I can figure out what we will be doing next, prepare for all of that, draw a map and just get a break from DMing. We won't be going away entirely though. Fish will be running a campaign while I do all this stuff so after we do our epilogue we will be rolling up characters for that.

Edit: Scratch that. We may be taking this week and the next one off. If you don't see a post here on Sunday then that is the case.

Going live with week 1 of Andrew's awesome campaign that is sure to be quite awesome. Don't believe me? Look at my signature. Watch the arms wave back and forth. Do you know why that Broodlord is so happy? Its because this is going to be awesome. So watch. Cause its awesome.

Guess what's back after over a month of...nothing.

[goldenspines]

^^^^^ In which we learn the dangers of mushrooms.

We're at it again, only without Peanut, so we'll be using Jaden's twitch stream and dragging the mage along with us....


EDIT: Gah, looks like the video quality is lagging like crazy. This is why we appreciate Peanut and miss him terribly. ;.;

Stay tuned for the vod and if there is no vod, I will fly to Norway and punch Jaden in the face.

[Peanut]

Going live with someone who actually knows how to run a stream and save a vod (hehehe)

Don't know why I haven't posted this yet but here is the vod from the last session.

Now that I've taken care of that, it is time for us to sit down and have a little chat about some changes going on on Twitch. If you are not aware, Twitch has most likely been purchased by Google recently (you can read an article about those rumors here ) and there have been a number of changes going on that seem to have confirmed that, at the very least, something big is going on behind the scenes. Justin.TV, which Twitch spawned off of, has been closed by its management and Twitch has also announced some changes to how they are handling vods on their site. You can read about those changes in the following two blog posts:

Blog 1
Blog 2

For those of you too lazy to read those blog posts, here is a brief summary. The first blog details Twitch's partnering with a company called Audible Magic to crack down on licensed music and audio used in saved vods. This does not affect live broadcasts but will cause any section with audio under Audible Magic's jurisdiction to be muted with no way to get around it. The second blog details major changes to how Twitch will be storing vods from this day forward. Before, they used to store past broadcasts for about 3 days unless you choose to save that broadcast forever and had no restrictions on the length of any highlights you created from those broadcasts. Now, they are increasing the length that they store past broadcasts from 3 days to 14 days but are removing the option to save them forever and are restricting highlights to no longer then 2 hours a piece (highlights made before this update will not be changed).

So what does this all mean and why am I making a post about it? I'll start with the why. This post is an explanation for anyone who starts watching our RPs later (or goes back) and encounters some of these changes and wonders what happened. For the most part, neither of these changes are going to affect much. The change outlined in the second blog is just going to give me more work in creating highlights. I will be posting them in parts from this point forward since we typically go over two hours each session. The change outlined in the first blog is a bigger deal and is the real focus of this post. We have, in the past, used some audio at moments that is indeed licensed. So there is a very good chance that some of those vods will end up with massive sections muted out as a result. I will be going through the older videos soon to get prepared for whenever we move back to my campaign so I should be able to tell if and where we have lost audio in our sessions. If there is a video that has had audio removed, I will try and see if I can upload it elsewhere like Youtube but these are pretty massive videos so this may be a problem I just won't be able to fix. This shouldn't be a problem in future sessions since Andrew and I will likely just hunt down some appropriate audio that's royalty free or something and use it instead.

So if you are watching one of the vods of our old sessions and suddenly here the audio cut out, that is likely the reason why.
