Just a quick note to let y'all know that there is a new Podcast in town. http://www.thescreamsheet.biz is a new 'cast dedicated to news and stuff in the Shadowrun 'verse.

Right now we've only pushed out a first episode - and I'll be honest. While it's not bad content-wise, the audio quality needs work. I'm commencing with the beatings and whippings to improve it before the next episode is released at the end of the month.

First episode has a bit of rambling news from our very own Adam Jury, an interview with John Dunn - coordinator of Shadowrun Missions, and a short review of Stephen Kenson's novel "Born to Run".

Feel free to drop us some email with feedback, or post here.

Episode 2 has been posted to ITMS and direct link will be up on the site today.

This episode:

-Shadowrun News
-"Question of the Podcast"
- SR4 Character Generation Discussion
- Book Review: Poison Agendas

At least the sound quality is a ton better. Once our mixer comes in this week, it'll get even shinier.

Wow, this is a great idea. Downloading the second 'cast as we speak.

Bravo guys. Anything that helps SR I am up for.

All in all thanks for doing all of this work.

New episode of the podcast is up on http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=126270728&s=143441 and http://www.thescreamsheet.biz/

Show notes:

First off, we apologize for CT's microphone. We know it sucked.
This podcast:
-News with Adam and Kender
-Question of the Podcast (Old and New)
-Interview with Moo
-Pirate's Book Review
-More Silliness

Yeah. I don't know what was wrong with me. My first guess would be.. ."a lot". But there you have it.

Posted by: Lindt Mar 15 2006, 09:54 PM

You interviewed Moo? THATS whats wrong with you. Nucking Futter!

Posted by: Kender Mar 15 2006, 11:04 PM

Posted by: Ranneko Mar 16 2006, 11:28 PM

Great work.

I especially like the fact you actually used chapters, or bookmarks, whatever they are called.

I have only listened to one other podcast that seems to do that.

Having just gotten an iPod for the first time - yeah, I know I know - I downloaded all three podcasts and enjoyed them all. Keep up the good work!

Posted by: Mardegun Mar 20 2006, 06:48 PM

Nice work! I enjoyed this podcast the most so far. They are getting better and better.

In regards to your show let me know if I can help. I don't have a lot of time, but if I can help I will. I don't think there is enough Shadowrun stuff out there, so kudos to you guys. I think I will even try to call in this week … lets see if it happens, no promises.

In any case let me list of couple of things I like about your podcast. In no particular order.

- I like the poll questions. Can you really go wrong with them? I always like getting people involved.
- I like the book reviews, but I always wish there was more info. I almost wish we could do sections as audio books … I got a guy who would love to do it. What about reviews of old books? Perhaps talk about how they relate to other cannon?
- Misc info on Shadowrun events. I like to hear about conventions anything else related to SR. My Con days are long behind me, so I enjoy living vicariously through others.
- Interview just like them. Even if I don't know the people involved.

Some suggestions you guys have probably already thought of.
- Why not try to do a trivia question?
- What about discussion of the rules? Perhaps you can clear some things up or just philosophy about them?
- What about adding a forum reviewer to the team? Have this person to scan the forums and talk about interesting posts? I am sure you guys have thought of this one.

All in all good stuff and I hope you guys continue.

Kender: is the question of the podcast email address the same one as for the crew of the podcast?

Just as a note - Screamsheet Episode 3.42 has been uploaded. We're holding a contest! See the podcast for more details. *scurries off to play CoH*

Posted by: Chrome Tiger Mar 23 2006, 02:28 PM

What is this place? A forum? *shudder*. I don't know why, but I have such an 'unnatural' feeling in forums. Even when I ran my own. Oh well, press on and hopefully I shall get use to it.

Anyway, yeah, the Podcast is pretty fun to do. Kender does all the grunt work. I just supply a voice and nifty recording thingies.

Just wanted to pop in and say 'Herro!"

Posted by: Caine Hazen Mar 31 2006, 03:47 PM

Thanks guys... I obviously need to check up here more... but I saw Adam's LJ post aobut this today and decided to give them a listen. Nice work, and its improving as time goes on.

Oh and GenCon this year should top last years decidence... I mean, Moo will be there right? And it only goes downhill from there!

Posted by: Kender Mar 31 2006, 03:52 PM

Posted by: Lindt Mar 31 2006, 03:57 PM

Oh come on, between Moo and Nigel, its a walking party. Or sitting party. Or a falling down party. Just depends on when people gather in the hotel lobby cafe' place.

Gonna miss ya'll this year =(

Posted by: Kai Mar 31 2006, 08:39 PM

Caine commenting on Moo's craziness... Pot. Kettle. Black ;7 You're all effing nuts anyways, I should know, I've met most of you. No cons for me this year unless you're coming to DragonCon though, you'll just have to deal with the lack of runs gone horribly awry, terribly disappointing, I know

hope to see you at DC Kai, look for a guy walking around with a Rear admirals star and the nametag james "Wolfboy" Bostwick sporting either a Saratoga or Bataan cap

Posted by: Kender Apr 1 2006, 12:26 PM

True, I guess it is kind of a party. If you add Bull it's even a weirder party.

Oh, and episode 4 has been published.

Posted by: Kai Apr 3 2006, 07:53 PM

I won't make DC if I'm not working, but being that its local, I could probably go if there was a good reason to. I cosplay anime yet the whole LotR/Star Wars/Star Trek thing at DC just kinda creeps me out for some unexplainable reason :7

Posted by: Dashifen Apr 4 2006, 11:05 PM

Awesome. Used my email . Next time I'll attach a recording if it's better for your guys

Any chance of you guys posting an MP3 for those of us that don't want to buy Ipods?

Posted by: Dashifen Apr 5 2006, 01:30 PM

Winamp can play the iTunes format, if I remember correctly. They have the files available for download on their website (in Kender's signature). Alternately, you can download iTunes for free just for the podcast. The 'casts I download never get onto my iPod because they're often quite a bit larger than a song (being a half hour or so of audio data) and they take up too much room. If you download iTunes from apple and subscribe to the podcast you'll, it'll automatically download new episodes (if you tell it to) and then you can use iTunes as the media player to listen to them, never needing an iPod or a portable device at all.

Posted by: Kender Apr 16 2006, 10:58 PM

We have also talked about putting them out in mp3 format and what we might be doing is putting up just the current episode up in mp3 - to save space. We go through Libsyn for our syndication, so we don't want people to have the file propgate twice - but our web hosting is graciously donated - and don't want it molested too badly. Again, we're discussing it.

Alternately, you can do as Dashifen said - grab iTunes - and iTunes will also let you convert to mp3 as well. (Right click on the AAC file in the Library, and choose "Convert to mp3"

Posted by: Dissonance Apr 16 2006, 11:34 PM

Also, the most recent version of Quicktime will also play them.

Posted by: Dissonance Apr 17 2006, 08:02 PM

Hey, Kender, I just checked the site and there's a new episode description on the front page. But it's not up in the archive.

What gives?

Posted by: Kender Apr 17 2006, 08:21 PM

Yeah, my bad. I didn't get CT the data he needed. Links are up now.

Posted by: Kender May 1 2006, 01:54 PM

New Podcast is up!

This time around:

News from the Shadowrun world with Adam and Kender
Email on last podcast's QotP topic - electronic Shadowrun aids
Mail Call
Interview with Moo and Caz regarding the Origins Shadowrun Tournament

Also - we experimented with mp3 as a format. Here's the poop on it:

AAC File for this episode: 27mb
MP3 File for this episode: 77mb

Also with mp3 files, you lose all chapter markings, show notes, and artwork.

So that being said, we are releasing the AAC files - as normal - through ITMS and our RSS feed. If you want the mp3, you have to get it directly from our website - and due to bandwidth and storage we will NOT be archiving the mp3's. So if you want issue 6 on mp3 - you need to get it before May 15th - because that is when Issue 7 will be available on mp3, and so-on.

As always, feel free to email or voicemail us anything you want us to know, feedback, etc. You can reply here as well, but stuff here probably won't make it on the podcast.

(Website is being updated this morning - so full show notes will be available soon.)

Posted by: Mardegun May 16 2006, 02:35 PM

Anyone else having problems listening to the new podcast ... I am refering to the 5.15 podcast.

Posted by: Kender May 16 2006, 02:36 PM

Posted by: Mardegun May 16 2006, 03:26 PM

I am playing it directly from my itunes 6.0.42 version ... so I am not sure what formate is being used.

Other info
CD Driver 2.0.4.3
CD Driver DLL 2.0.3.2

Running on MS XP Pro with SP 2

Posted by: Kender May 16 2006, 03:44 PM

Posted by: Mardegun May 16 2006, 03:54 PM

Yeah the last 11 mins were cut out.

Posted by: Kender May 16 2006, 10:38 PM

Posted by: Mardegun May 17 2006, 05:14 AM

Nothing so far

Nm, I just d/l it directly.

Posted by: Kender May 17 2006, 11:04 AM

It's the same file - you just need to redownload it. iTunes will do it if you clear the file out of your podcast directory and then you can hit the "Get" button.

Posted by: silvermain May 31 2006, 05:43 AM

episode 7 aac in the archive is linked to episode 6 aac. On another note what program are you using to record your podcasts with?

Posted by: Kender May 31 2006, 11:04 AM

Posted by: Kender Jun 1 2006, 10:48 AM

New Podcast episode has been released today.

Go forth and molest the bandwidth.

Posted by: JM Hardy Jun 1 2006, 05:07 PM

Hey podcast guys:

Thanks for taking the time to read and review Drops of Corruption on the show. Sorry you didn't like it, but hey, it happens. I appreciate you giving it a shot.

Jason H.

Jason,

They don't know what they are talking about. I am currently reading the book, and barring some Deus Ex Machina ending, I have enjoyed and continue to thoroughly enjoy your work. Keep it up.

Kender, CT, and Pirate,

Keep up the good work, and keep hiding the scripts from yourselves. The ad lib format is much more natural sounding and enjoyable. Also, thanks for the continually improving production quality.

Not a Rabid Fanboy, I swear it,

J

Posted by: eidolon Jun 2 2006, 02:37 AM

Finally downloaded iTunes and took a listen. Nice job on the podcast, and yes, ad lib is definitely better.

Now if you'd only had the capability of doing this when I would have gotten anything from the content! (SR3)

Posted by: Kender Jun 2 2006, 02:01 PM

I guess I owe CT a coke - he suggested we try the non-scripted path, and I also have to admit that we sound more natural, after going back and contrasting the old with the new.

Only downside though, is fewer bloopers as CT or Pirate tries to read what I wrote.

Posted by: Chrome Tiger Jun 2 2006, 04:29 PM

SCREAM SH!TS!

Posted by: Kender Jun 16 2006, 02:21 PM

Episode 9 was released into the wild yesterday. It's short, but it's there.

Posted by: Jrayjoker Jun 17 2006, 02:38 PM

Thanks again. Short is good, as is long, also anywhere in the middle. Thanks.

Posted by: Squinky Jun 19 2006, 09:40 PM

Good stuff, I actaully stumbled upon the ask a ninja site a week or so back, but it is definately worth checking out.

Posted by: Mardegun Aug 18 2006, 08:23 PM

Now that gencon is over does anyone know where we can see the fully written one-shot missions from the screamsheet contest?

Posted by: Ranneko Aug 24 2006, 01:58 PM

Has the screamsheet podfaded? =(

Posted by: Mardegun Sep 30 2006, 04:06 AM

Anyone there?
