Bonfireside Chat structure clarification

Hello patrons, Gary here

Lots of new folk! Welcome and thank you so much for supporting us going into the Lands Between. I speak for Kole and myself when I say that we're both loving the shit out of this game, and are eager to dig in. Because the game is huge, however, and because the game is it what is, I want to set a couple of expectations from the beginning.

1) In our spaces, such as the slack, the facebook page, or here on patreon, do not engage in git guddery. If someone on the show, or off, expresses frustration with an aspect of this challenging game, "git gud" or other derivatives are not helpful. If someone on the show, or off, talks about cheesing a boss or encounter, scoffing is not an appropriate response. If what you mean is "There really isn't a way around it but to learn it" say that. Don't be a weirdo who cares how other people play video games. It's very 2014.

2) Bonfireside Chat comes out every two weeks! I know that will seem like a slow pace to some, especially considering how big this game is. We're in it for the long haul and we have so much to talk about. Every two weeks is what we can afford timewise with the rest of the network. I understand some folk are just here for Bonfireside Chat, and I appreciate that, but we've got an entire network going on and our other shows are important to us even if they're not important to you. Maybe we'll have enough interest to bring back listener response episodes on a more regular basis? We'll have to see. But mainline episodes every fortnight (fort, night) is the show. If you are looking for something to listen to on off weeks, may I recommend the rest of Bonfireside Chat Rekindled or our other shows?

3) Since its inception, Bonfireside Chat has been about an hour long. We're going to try to push that to 90 minutes or so for this season, since there is so much to cover. Again, I can understand why some people might be disappointed we don't do all of the royal capital in one groin grabbingly mind melting 5 hour episode, but after that much time, we just won't be as good on the mic.

4) This game has an odd structure for From. And because of that, we're flying a little blind. It might take a couple of episodes to figure out how much overworld fits comfortably into one episode, or how many episodes are appropriate for a huge legacy dungeon. Please bear with us while we work out the kinks.

And that's it! I'm rounding the end game now and I'm so excited to share my thoughts with you all, and dig into the story of the Lands Between.

Praise the fingers ✌️
