Finals week for Anne, a new show going up for John, holidays with the family for both and setting up secret scion makes us very busy and very tired.
Secret Scion emails will go out tonight. Try not to procrastinate too much the holidays are upon us. Also answering a question :)
Have you guys ever thought of recording your scion games and putting them on youtube I recently ran across a group that did and thought it would be kind of cool to see your games in action
We certainly have...but thats a lot of work. Getting good angles on players, getting good angles on the ST. Making sure stuff has batteries. Its a lot of work, and kinda requires someone to be doing it instead of playing(for it to be done well).
We recorded our ragnarok game(sound only), all 50 hours of it or whatever it ended up being, but editing and uploading was just such a pain in the ass(and some of the sound was lost) so we scrapped it.
But it probably would be awesome. But we're usually too focused on the game to pull it off, and we really dont have the time after to put it all together. Perhaps one day. I know I've recorded parts before, maybe I can do more of that.
Royce in our saturday game recorded an entire session and it ended up being like 22 gigs or something....so we'd need to figure out a way around that as well. Probably just more editing....which is time.
We'll see though, many possibilities for the future.
But I would like to see how another group is able to accomplish it though, so if you read this, and you remember where you saw the other groups videos, please link in comments.
I would also like to see that video. I have been searching for a scion game for ages
ReplyDeleteWhat If... it was recorded in Portions? Record the first 10 minutes at start of game with the 'Last Week on...' and everyone catching up, Then fast forward to a scene that's about to lead into combat and any other highlights of a game. You don't need to record all 5 hours necessarily but just some examples of how our games go?
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've got the right hardware for multi-angle recording or the software for editing, BUT: one of my players already joins the game via Google Hangouts or Skype since he lives on the wrong coast. If anyone wanted to eavesdrop/spectate on a live game, it shouldn't be a big deal to add another person to the video call.
ReplyDeleteWe typically game on Fridays from about 8:30-12 EST. Email me at terriblyuncreative at gmail dot com if you're interested. The house rules, characters, and a full recap of the story so far can be found at terriblyuncreative dot com slash scion.
That said, my game is not John and Anne's game, as I am not John and Anne. I did steal most of my best ideas from them though, so if you turn your head to the side and squint real hard, my game might look somewhat like the next best thing.
a youtuber named ItmeJP is doing it.
ReplyDeleteHe plays with all his players over skype and Roll20 though, so they're not actually playing in the same locale.
And there is of course the money from being an actual youtuber as incentive for taking the time to do it.
Thats the only game i've seen recorded to youtube, and thats DnD (Pathfinder) and Dark Heresy
