Episode Seventeen Video is up

Episode Seventeen Video is up

see it here

The quality is not all that good either on audio or sound, especially compared to the first one  as we had to use the camera as a web cam to get it to last through the whole session but we are working on that and playing with different Cameras/ Microphone combinations in order to improve this. This is however the whole crew in action for whole of a session.

Video session reminder

Video session reminder

Tomorrows Company of Fools game which will be Urban interlude part IV will be filmed by John Large and should appear on here over the week end. Unlike last time the whole session will be filmed as we have solved the battery issue which caused the filming to end before the game did.

As usual a full write up will follow over the week end or early next week as I am on,line gaming on Sunday which is the day I do my paperwork both hobby and work related.

Video report about this years Beer & Pretzels show by John large of Red Dice Diaries

Beer and Pretzels 2014 Video report

I had hoped to get an interview up with Phil first but I am not complaining John is a class act and a capital bloger who I will lure into the ways of the Hack sooner or latter.

Next year I hope to be running Hack Master Demo's all week end

Video game sessions

In all the wrestling with the IT and trying to keep up with work I completely forgot to mention that there will be another Videoed game coming soon it is planed to be the session after next, Thursday June 5^th  which should under current plans see us return to the aftermath of the nasty little skirmish in the woods. From which point on I will alternate the two threads of the tale until they meet up at a climax in the action. Of course this is a plan so circumstances yet unseen may blow it out of the water but what ever happens we will be Videoing the game on Thursday June 5^th  and posting it as soon after as possible.

I spoke to the very talented Colin Hall Williams about filming the articles I mentioned in the last post and he has agreed to do it however we need to arrange a time and as despite his talents he does not  own a video camera of his own it looks like I will have to acquire one and then set it up to record on my very ancient second hand lap top with the enormous external drive plunged in  as there is very little space on the poor old things hard drive and given it was left plunged in to the mains  for years with the battery still in has a battery life of minutes.

However in theory we will get some more video articles up and the ability to do more as required.on a more positive note I have also messaged John Large who did the last game session Video to ask him to do another one and I will be talking to my players about this at the next session which is Thursday the 8th of May.

The session I intend to film is the last session in May which will be Thursday May the 22nd  and will be the last session of the current urban interlude if present plans hold up. I also want to film the June sessions if I can arrange it then.

I have just been in contact with another talented camera man to arrange to do do a small series of videos a the moment I have the following in mind, but the list will in all likely hood expand.most of these projects do.

• A Video review by me of Hackmaster itself mentioning the support and the availability of the basic version
• A Walk through of character creation live, this will be an NPC protege which I will be introducing to the game shortly after
• A walk through combat between a couple of fighters and three goblins showing the permutations of surprise and using figures.& sceanary
• An Article featuring Phil Bootherstone  about Spirit Games and the events it supports 
• An Article featuring Paul and Carol Roberts about "Raiders of the Game  cupboard" a suitable location for a quarterly HackMaster Game

I will also be contacting John Large to organize the filming of another session this time all of it I hope.
