This is a bonus episode to explain what’s been going on on the blog and to give you a little reassurance about the future of Games from Folktales.
The way my podcast plan works I get a 50 MB or data per month for a $5 payment, which is covered by the blog’s Patreon donors (thanks to the donors!) To get an upcoming episode in I needed more than the usual 50 megabytes, so I bought the next plan up for one month. I spent three times as much and got enough for five months’ worth of episode space, but I needed to fill it in one month.
Instead of writing blog posts or scripting episodes for the podcast, I’ve been grabbing the low-hanging fruit: all of the LibriVox recordings which I can transfer across into podcast episodes. Now that process is over. I have 15 episodes in the can, which is a very comfortable place to be.
It does mean that the mix of topics in the episodes isn’t quite what I’d like. I want more monsters and I more material that’s directly pulled from Ars Magica history. I’ll integrate these new episodes by interspacing them with the episodes that I’ve already uploaded. This means that the patterns you see in the episodes (one per subject per month) will be disrupted. The episode numbers will get a little bit strange again.
