Thanks so much! If you're looking for other AP podcasts I'd definitely recommend our season of a game called Orbital Blues (it's one of our best). DIE: REPLAY is a great one from Dead Ghost Productions, Worlds Beyond Number is probably the best podcast out there right now. The Panic Table is a Mothership AP on TH-cam that is super high quality. Lots of great stuff to choose from. You can listen to Bitcherton on any podcast player or you can listen to episode 1 on TH-cam at this link: th-cam.com/video/5vSPYBKDcJ4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=KsjDAoLwP09oVrrP&t=541

@@ManySidedMediaThank you for the link and recommendation, the fact that its not marked as Ep. 1 in title made me skim over it, assumed it's a promo. :)

@@ratglyph Just corrected that so it's clearer in the future. Hope you enjoy!

That joke gets me every time I hear it

We have them all posted for free to download on our Patreon page. They will likely go up on Spotify sometime in the future, but I don't have a timeline for that.

I always love talking to Taylor. Also, if you liked this interview we did another two-part interview over on our other podcast called My First Dungeon from before he was working on WBN. Lots of cool stuff in that conversation about the state of actual play podcasts and how to produce them. If you liked this conversation then you'll definitely be interested in that one.

Actually, many games that build on the consequences of the dice need few prep. Also, you don't have complex, crunchy Stat blocks, so improvise dangers, creatures, people is easy and rewarding 'cause you leave a lot of freedom to the players. No need to bring them back on rails you hardly prepared in advance, because... You don't.

​@ishmadrad a game with stat blocks doesn't preclude improving easily and responding to dice results. Creative constraints, be they mechanical, plot, or worldbuilding, make better creative experiences. Prep is good even for crunchless or crunch-light games.

@@feruspriest well, I understand your point, but if you need complex stats, you simply can't bring in play a brand-new ship (with stats), a brand-new captain, and a dozen of crew members. If you need half an hour to write down levels, characteristics, skill values, derived stats, roll HPs, put credible equip, add armor, feats, powers, skill slot etc. etc. you CAN'T create in real-time as games like Wildsea do. OR, as usually many masters have to do in "trad crunchy" games, you cheat, so behind your screen you have no seriously built characters, but an amalgam of semi-randomly chosen values. Also, in games like Wildsea, you are totally pushed toward a semi-choral creation of elements; for example, when a player gain a Twist on a roll (and they are common), other players HAVE to think about that Twist, and bring it in fiction... And a twist could be "a new enemy arrives" or "this city is subtly invaded by allucinating spores" or "a flying squidwhale is singing over our ship" or "in your backpack you find a ring made of amber that you never had before". Now, your GM prep can go belly up in an hour of play... You better need only catchy starting hooks and some cool idea for interesting NPCs, and then running wild with your players during the session. And this is only one of the elements; they can create in real time equip, they can choose the loot they find (or hunt), they have Whispers that build whole game lore around them with magical force (again, built in real time and, no, it's not you as GM that create it). They can choose their adventure, 'because they don't follow a classic quest. They can go out to sea simply for salvaging, exploring or surviving, and every single roll on the "point-crawl blank map" is a potential whole new adventure that you HAVE to built in real time around them: it can be a new giant ruin emerging the trees, it can be an insular community, friendly or not, it can be a huge leviathan... and you can't discover it in advance, you do it during the session. And this is the game, these are rules, not "game phylosophy" or "GM suggestions". And there's more, but hey, this is a wall text long enough...

Thank you so much! We're really proud of how this season came out. This week we're also putting out our full season talkback with the designer of The Wildsea, Felix Isaacs that you might enjoy. And if you're looking for another story to binge, I'd highly suggest checking out our season of Orbital Blues :)

That one gave me (Brian) chills. So good

Thank you! I expect you'll be seeing these players again in future seasons. And if you want to hear more Wildsea from us then keep shouting it from the rooftops and we'll try and make it happen.

Thanks! We're really happy and proud of how this season came together. We're already hard at work on the next season (and the next season or two after that lol) but honestly we all want to return to The Wildsea someday- both on- and off-mic.

Thanks so much for listening! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

We love Superdillin so ding dang much!

Our pleasure!

A perfect marriage!

Thank you so much! I hope you enjoyed the finale!

Thank you! We always love having Grant on the show

Thank you so much!

Thanks! We can't wait to make more of this show :)

Thanks so much!

Thank you so much!!! That's incredibly kind of you to say and I'm so glad you're enjoying it! I'm in the middle of editing episode 4 right now and honestly can't wait to share the end of this season with everyone. The players take such big swings and we have a ton of fun with it. And welcome to The Dice Pool (SPLASH!)

Thanks! We're really happy with it and can't wait to make more :)

Thanks so much! We had a TON of fun with this game and I'm so glad it's translating really well to people listening. If you haven't already, I'd HIGHLY recommend giving Wildsea a read or bringing it to your gaming table. It's a blast! I tell this to everyone who enjoys our shows: if you have a spare moment please leave us a rating and review on your podcast player of choice or tell a friend about the show. It really is an incredible help!

@@brianflaherty3036 For sure! I've been running Wildsea and loving it. Looked you up on Spotify to give 5 stars. Speaking of Spotify, any chance the tree shanties end up on there so I can add them to my Wildsea ambience playlists?

@@Ryoko41 I believe so! It won't be until after the season is over though. We're keeping them as Patreon exclusives until then

This is so incredibly nice of you to say! I'm really glad you're enjoying the season so far. I'm working on the sound design for the next episode now and if you've liked what you've heard so far then I think you're going to enjoy the rest of the season :) Thanks again for the kind words. It really does mean a lot :)

Thanks!

We haven't done that yet, but we might sometime in the future. But our patreon does have cast talkbacks (behind a paywall) and mp3s of all the original tree shanties (totally free!).

The book is VERY good. If you do grab it be sure to use our discount code and save a nice chunk of change (it is a fairly expensive book)
